Abstract: Teleportation-based Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) error correction typically assumes a decoherence-free GKP ancilla Bell pair, an idealization that is difficult to reconcile with the ubiquitous environmental decoherence in bosonic systems. Here, we analyze the performance of the GKP protocol subject to pure-dephasing processes, ubiquitous in realistic situations. We show that, under this class of interactions, teleportation, instead of projecting the input onto the GKP subspace, transforms GKP error correction into a correlated Pauli-Gaussian noise process that can accumulate over successive correction rounds. Thus, unlike in previously studied noisy GKP scenarios, the code no longer self-corrects. Moreover, repeated noisy GKP teleportation drives the encoded modes out of the logical subspace, progressively degrading the encoded codewords. We show that the resulting leakage rapidly saturates with the number of correction rounds. Finally, we investigate the implications of our results for motional-oscillator-based GKP error-correction platforms.
