Quantum marginal problem and incompatibility

Erkka Haapasalo, Tristan Kraft, Nikolai Miklin, and Roope Uola,

Quantum 5, 476 (2021).

One of the basic distinctions between classical and quantum mechanics is the existence of fundamentally incompatible quantities. Such quantities are present on all levels of quantum objects:…

Quantum Physical Unclonable Functions: Possibilities and Impossibilities

Myrto Arapinis, Mahshid Delavar, Mina Doosti, and Elham Kashefi,

Quantum 5, 475 (2021).

A Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) is a device with unique behaviour that is hard to clone hence providing a secure fingerprint. A variety of PUF structures and PUF-based applications have…

Visualizing the emission of a single photon with frequency and time resolved spectroscopy

Aleksei Sharafiev, Mathieu L. Juan, Oscar Gargiulo, Maximilian Zanner, Stephanie Wögerer, Juan José García-Ripoll, and Gerhard Kirchmair,

Quantum 5, 474 (2021).

At the dawn of Quantum Physics, Wigner and Weisskopf obtained a full analytical description (a $\textit{photon portrait}$) of the emission of a single photon by a two-level system, using the b…

Certifying dimension of quantum systems by sequential projective measurements

Adel Sohbi, Damian Markham, Jaewan Kim, and Marco Túlio Quintino,

Quantum 5, 472 (2021).

This work analyzes correlations arising from quantum systems subject to sequential projective measurements to certify that the system in question has a quantum dimension greater than some $d$.…

Witnessing Wigner Negativity

Ulysse Chabaud, Pierre-Emmanuel Emeriau, and Frédéric Grosshans,

Quantum 5, 471 (2021).

Negativity of the Wigner function is arguably one of the most striking non-classical features of quantum states. Beyond its fundamental relevance, it is also a necessary resource for quantum…

Paper

The group structure of dynamical transformations between quantum reference frames

Angel Ballesteros, Flaminia Giacomini, and Giulia Gubitosi,

Quantum 5, 470 (2021).

Recently, it was shown that when reference frames are associated to quantum systems, the transformation laws between such quantum reference frames need to be modified to take into account th…

Efficient Bayesian phase estimation using mixed priors

Ewout van den Berg,

Quantum 5, 469 (2021).

We describe an efficient implementation of Bayesian quantum phase estimation in the presence of noise and multiple eigenstates. The main contribution of this work is the dynamic switching be…

$a\times b=c$ in $2+1$D TQFT

Matthew Buican, Linfeng Li, and Rajath Radhakrishnan,

Quantum 5, 468 (2021).

We study the implications of the anyon fusion equation $a\times b=c$ on global properties of $2+1$D topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). Here $a$ and $b$ are anyons that fuse together to give…

Chen Zhao and Xiao-Shan Gao,

Quantum 5, 466 (2021).

In this paper, we propose a general scheme to analyze the gradient vanishing phenomenon, also known as the barren plateau phenomenon, in training quantum neural networks with the ZX-calculus…

Paper

Quantum advantage from energy measurements of many-body quantum systems

Leonardo Novo, Juani Bermejo-Vega, and Raúl García-Patrón,

Quantum 5, 465 (2021).

The problem of sampling outputs of quantum circuits has been proposed as a candidate for demonstrating a quantum computational advantage (sometimes referred to as quantum "supremacy"). In th…

Modeling and mitigation of cross-talk effects in readout noise with applications to the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm

Filip B. Maciejewski, Flavio Baccari, Zoltán Zimborás, and Michał Oszmaniec,

Quantum 5, 464 (2021).

Measurement noise is one of the main sources of errors in currently available quantum devices based on superconducting qubits. At the same time, the complexity of its characterization and mi…

A Threshold for Quantum Advantage in Derivative Pricing

Shouvanik Chakrabarti, Rajiv Krishnakumar, Guglielmo Mazzola, Nikitas Stamatopoulos, Stefan Woerner, and William J. Zeng,

Quantum 5, 463 (2021).

We give an upper bound on the resources required for valuable quantum advantage in pricing derivatives. To do so, we give the first complete resource estimates for useful quantum derivative…

Time-optimal quantum transformations with bounded bandwidth

Dan Allan, Niklas Hörnedal, and Ole Andersson,

Quantum 5, 462 (2021).

In this paper, we derive sharp lower bounds, also known as quantum speed limits, for the time it takes to transform a quantum system into a state such that an observable assumes its lowest a…
