Paper

There and back again: A circuit extraction tale

Miriam Backens, Hector Miller-Bakewell, Giovanni de Felice, Leo Lobski, and John van de Wetering,

Quantum 5, 421 (2021).

Translations between the quantum circuit model and the measurement-based one-way model are useful for verification and optimisation of quantum computations. They make crucial use of a proper…

Paper

Nonlinear extension of the quantum dynamical semigroup

Jakub Rembieliński and Paweł Caban,

Quantum 5, 420 (2021).

In this paper we consider deterministic nonlinear time evolutions satisfying so called convex quasi-linearity condition. Such evolutions preserve the equivalence of ensembles and therefore a…

Paper

Postquantum common-cause channels: the resource theory of local operations and shared entanglement

David Schmid, Haoxing Du, Maryam Mudassar, Ghi Coulter-de Wit, Denis Rosset, and Matty J. Hoban,

Quantum 5, 419 (2021).

We define the type-independent resource theory of local operations and shared entanglement (LOSE). This allows us to formally quantify postquantumness in common-cause scenarios such as the B…

Paper

Device-independent certification of tensor products of quantum states using single-copy self-testing protocols

Ivan Šupić, Daniel Cavalcanti, and Joseph Bowles,

Quantum 5, 418 (2021).

Self-testing protocols are methods to determine the presence of shared entangled states in a device independent scenario, where no assumptions on the measurements involved in the protocol ar…

Paper

On the Quantum versus Classical Learnability of Discrete Distributions

Ryan Sweke, Jean-Pierre Seifert, Dominik Hangleiter, and Jens Eisert,

Quantum 5, 417 (2021).

Here we study the comparative power of classical and quantum learners for generative modelling within the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) framework. More specifically we consider the fo…

Paper

Entangled resource for interfacing single- and dual-rail optical qubits

David Drahi, Demid V. Sychev, Khurram K. Pirov, Ekaterina A. Sazhina, Valeriy A. Novikov, Ian A. Walmsley, and A. I. Lvovsky,

Quantum 5, 416 (2021).

Today's most widely used method of encoding quantum information in optical qubits is the dual-rail basis, often carried out through the polarisation of a single photon. On the other hand, ma…

Paper

Application-Motivated, Holistic Benchmarking of a Full Quantum Computing Stack

Daniel Mills, Seyon Sivarajah, Travis L. Scholten, and Ross Duncan,

Quantum 5, 415 (2021).

Quantum computing systems need to be benchmarked in terms of practical tasks they would be expected to do. Here, we propose 3 "application-motivated" circuit classes for benchmarking: deep (…

Paper

Complete Information Balance in Quantum Measurement

Seung-Woo Lee, Jaewan Kim, and Hyunchul Nha,

Quantum 5, 414 (2021).

Quantum measurement is a basic tool to manifest intrinsic quantum effects from fundamental tests to quantum information applications. While a measurement is typically performed to gain infor…

Paper

Estimating expectation values using approximate quantum states

Marco Paini, Amir Kalev, Dan Padilha, and Brendan Ruck,

Quantum 5, 413 (2021).

We introduce an approximate description of an $N$-qubit state, which contains sufficient information to estimate the expectation value of any observable to a precision that is upper bounded by…

Paper

Quantum Circuits for Sparse Isometries

Emanuel Malvetti, Raban Iten, and Roger Colbeck,

Quantum 5, 412 (2021).

We consider the task of breaking down a quantum computation given as an isometry into C-NOTs and single-qubit gates, while keeping the number of C-NOT gates small. Although several decomposi…

Paper

The geometry of passivity for quantum systems and a novel elementary derivation of the Gibbs state

Nikolaos Koukoulekidis, Rhea Alexander, Thomas Hebdige, and David Jennings,

Quantum 5, 411 (2021).

Passivity is a fundamental concept that constitutes a necessary condition for any quantum system to attain thermodynamic equilibrium, and for a notion of temperature to emerge. While extensi…

Paper

Hyper-optimized tensor network contraction

Johnnie Gray and Stefanos Kourtis,

Quantum 5, 410 (2021).

Tensor networks represent the state-of-the-art in computational methods across many disciplines, including the classical simulation of quantum many-body systems and quantum circuits. Several…

Paper

Quantum control with a multi-dimensional Gaussian quantum invariant

Selwyn Simsek and Florian Mintert,

Quantum 5, 409 (2021).

The framework of quantum invariants is an elegant generalization of adiabatic quantum control to control fields that do not need to change slowly. Due to the unavailability of invariants for…

Paper

Second law of thermodynamics for batteries with vacuum state

Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, Paweł Mazurek, and Michał Horodecki,

Quantum 5, 408 (2021).

In stochastic thermodynamics work is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in the free energy of the system. In most treatments, however, the work reservoir that absorbs t…

Paper

Optimal allocation of quantum resources

Roberto Salazar, Tanmoy Biswas, Jakub Czartowski, Karol Życzkowski, and Paweł Horodecki,

Quantum 5, 407 (2021).

The optimal allocation of resources is a crucial task for their efficient use in a wide range of practical applications in science and engineering. This paper investigates the optimal alloca…

Paper

Union-Find Decoders For Homological Product Codes

Nicolas Delfosse and Matthew B. Hastings,

Quantum 5, 406 (2021).

Homological product codes are a class of codes that can have improved distance while retaining relatively low stabilizer weight. We show how to build union-find decoders for these codes, usi…
