Quantum-mechanical scattering states are energy eigenstates obeying particular boundary conditions, whose behavior at infinity encodes the S-matrix which defines the outcoming of scattering experiments. With an eye toward numerical…
Variational compression can significantly lower implementation overheads for encoding the time evolution of Hamiltonians into quantum circuits. However, they usually lack global convergence guarantees and well-established scaling behavior.…
We obtain the exact many-body density operator of a boundary-driven XXZ quantum circuit via a spatially inhomogeneous matrix product Ansatz. The Ansatz has formally infinite bond-dimension and generalizes authors' previous construction…
Robustness in dissipative light-matter systems has recently been associated with resonance conditions or geodesic evolution. We show that, in the nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model, these conditions are necessary but not sufficient. Using a…
The Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) is required by hidden subgroup problem (HSP) algorithms, including Shor's algorithm for factoring. The circuit depth of the QFT remains challenging for near-term hardware. To find shallower alternatives…
Bayesian quantum estimation provides a robust framework for quantum technologies, especially in scenarios with limited data and minimal prior information. Yet, its application to continuous-variable Gaussian systems has remained limited and…
Trying to solve hard optimisation problems with quantum techniques requires transformations of domain objectives and constraints into formats compatible with a chosen quantum algorithm. This often introduces inefficiencies and overheads…
Complete quantum charging provides a sharp setting in which to ask how much multipartite entanglement is forced by speed itself. For a closed \(N\)-qubit battery evolving from \(\ket{\downarrow}^{\otimes N}\) to \(\ket{\uparrow}^{\otimes…
Photodetection converts optical quantum states into measurement events, but the usual electric-field response model becomes restrictive when the detector response is shaped by cavity, superconducting, or metamaterial engineering. We develop…
In this paper, we develop an extension of the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to the setting of bosonic quantum channels. This extension provides a deeper understanding of Gaussian bosonic channels as extremal objects. Using our CLT for bosonic…
We study the quantum Fourier transform (QFT) block-encoding of the semi-discrete fractional Laplacian on bounded domains with open, zero-extension boundary conditions. In the notation of the main construction, the target operator is the…
Frequency combs enable precision measurements across timekeeping, spectroscopy, ranging and astronomy, and are now extending to integrated and field-deployable platforms. Realizing their full performance demands a comprehensive account of…
Open microcavities provide a powerful platform for studying cavity quantum electrodynamics in solid-state systems. However, operating open microcavities at cryogenic temperatures, as required for many solid-state quantum emitters, typically…
Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides information-theoretic security and satellite-based quantum key distribution (SatQKD) has demonstrated the potential to extend this communication security to intercontinental scales. However,…
We introduce Magic Secret Sharing (MSS), a quantum cryptographic primitive in which the secret is the computational capability of a quantum state rather than its classical description. In the resource theory of magic, non-stabilizer states…
Spin-photon interfaces, realized by coupling optically active spin systems to photonic cavities, are essential for quantum networking and quantum information processing. Implementing such an interface for polarization-encoded photons…
Compiling quantum programs for fault-tolerant execution requires transforming high-level operations through multiple abstraction layers: from logical gates to error-corrected encodings to hardware-native instructions. A key challenge is…
The comparison of vibrational transition frequencies of $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ and $\overline{\mathrm{H}}_2^-$ offers a new opportunity to test CPT invariance. Myers [Phys. Rev. A 98, 010101(R) (2018)] proposed performing laser spectroscopy in a…
The Berry phase is a geometric phase acquired during adiabatic evolution over a closed loop in parameter space. It plays an essential role in geometric quantum gates and other phase-based protocols. In non-Hermitian systems, the Berry phase…
Microfabricated ion trap chips are at the core of some of the most advanced quantum computers. How a large number of ions is arranged and controlled on an ion trap chip depends on the chosen trap architecture. One such architecture is the…
