Paper

Designing the Quantum Channels Induced by Diagonal Gates

Jingzhen Hu, Qingzhong Liang, and Robert Calderbank,

Quantum 6, 802 (2022).

The challenge of quantum computing is to combine error resilience with universal computation. Diagonal gates such as the transversal $T$ gate play an important role in implementing a universal…

Paper

Periodically refreshed quantum thermal machines

Archak Purkayastha, Giacomo Guarnieri, Steve Campbell, Javier Prior, and John Goold,

Quantum 6, 801 (2022).

We introduce unique class of cyclic quantum thermal machines (QTMs) which can maximize their performance at the finite value of cycle duration $\tau$ where they are most irreversible. These QT…

Paper

Ancilla-free continuous-variable SWAP test

T. J. Volkoff and Yiğit Subaşı,

Quantum 6, 800 (2022).

We propose a continuous-variable (CV) SWAP test that requires no ancilla register, thereby generalizing the ancilla-free SWAP test for qubits. In this ancilla-free CV SWAP test, the computat…

Paper

Observability of fidelity decay at the Lyapunov rate in few-qubit quantum simulations

Max D. Porter and Ilon Joseph,

Quantum 6, 799 (2022).

In certain regimes, the fidelity of quantum states will decay at a rate set by the classical Lyapunov exponent. This serves both as one of the most important examples of the quantum-classica…

Paper

Initial-State Dependent Optimization of Controlled Gate Operations with Quantum Computer

Wonho Jang, Koji Terashi, Masahiko Saito, Christian W. Bauer, Benjamin Nachman, Yutaro Iiyama, Ryunosuke Okubo, and Ryu Sawada,

Quantum 6, 798 (2022).

There is no unique way to encode a quantum algorithm into a quantum circuit. With limited qubit counts, connectivity, and coherence times, a quantum circuit optimization is essential to make…

Paper

Policy Gradient Approach to Compilation of Variational Quantum Circuits

David A. Herrera-Martí,

Quantum 6, 797 (2022).

We propose a method for finding approximate compilations of quantum unitary transformations, based on techniques from policy gradient reinforcement learning. The choice of a stochastic polic…

Paper

Algebraic Bethe Circuits

Alejandro Sopena, Max Hunter Gordon, Diego García-Martín, Germán Sierra, and Esperanza López,

Quantum 6, 796 (2022).

The Algebraic Bethe Ansatz (ABA) is a highly successful analytical method used to exactly solve several physical models in both statistical mechanics and condensed-matter physics. Here we br…

Paper

Random quantum circuits are approximate unitary $t$-designs in depth $O\left(nt^{5+o(1)}\right)$

Jonas Haferkamp,

Quantum 6, 795 (2022).

The applications of random quantum circuits range from quantum computing and quantum many-body systems to the physics of black holes. Many of these applications are related to the generation…

Paper

The role of coherence theory in attractor quantum neural networks

Carlo Marconi, Pau Colomer Saus, María García Díaz, and Anna Sanpera,

Quantum 6, 794 (2022).

We investigate attractor quantum neural networks (aQNNs) within the framework of coherence theory. We show that: i) aQNNs are associated to non-coherence-generating quantum channels; ii) the…

Paper

Stability of invertible, frustration-free ground states against large perturbations

Sven Bachmann, Wojciech De Roeck, Brecht Donvil, and Martin Fraas,

Quantum 6, 793 (2022).

A gapped ground state of a quantum spin system has a natural length scale set by the gap. This length scale governs the decay of correlations. A common intuition is that this length scale al…

Paper

Robust Interior Point Method for Quantum Key Distribution Rate Computation

Hao Hu, Jiyoung Im, Jie Lin, Norbert Lütkenhaus, and Henry Wolkowicz,

Quantum 6, 792 (2022).

Security proof methods for quantum key distribution, QKD, that are based on the numerical key rate calculation problem, are powerful in principle. However, the practicality of the methods ar…

Paper

A monogamy-of-entanglement game for subspace coset states

Eric Culf and Thomas Vidick,

Quantum 6, 791 (2022).

We establish a strong monogamy-of-entanglement property for subspace coset states, which are uniform superpositions of vectors in a linear subspace of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ to which has been applie…

Paper

Random translation-invariant Hamiltonians and their spectral gaps

Ian Jauslin and Marius Lemm,

Quantum 6, 790 (2022).

We consider random translation-invariant frustration-free quantum spin Hamiltonians on $\mathbb Z^D$ in which the nearest-neighbor interaction in every direction is randomly sampled and then d…

Paper

Simpler (classical) and faster (quantum) algorithms for Gibbs partition functions

Srinivasan Arunachalam, Vojtech Havlicek, Giacomo Nannicini, Kristan Temme, and Pawel Wocjan,

Quantum 6, 789 (2022).

We present classical and quantum algorithms for approximating partition functions of classical Hamiltonians at a given temperature. Our work has two main contributions: first, we modify the…

Paper

Resource theory of causal connection

Simon Milz, Jessica Bavaresco, and Giulio Chiribella,

Quantum 6, 788 (2022).

The capacity of distant parties to send signals to one another is a fundamental requirement in many information-processing tasks. Such ability is determined by the causal structure connectin…

Paper

Superfluid drag between excitonic polaritons and superconducting electron gas

Azat F. Aminov, Alexey A. Sokolik, and Yurii E. Lozovik,

Quantum 6, 787 (2022).

The Andreev-Bashkin effect, or superfluid drag, is predicted in a system of Bose-condensed excitonic polaritons in optical microcavity coupled by electron-exciton interaction with a supercon…
