Quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) sit between noisy quantum hardware and reliable computation, so the code parameters used in practice must be trustworthy. The single number that summarizes a code's strength is its distance, yet…
We present Quokka#, a versatile, open-source Python library for quantum circuit analysis. Quokka# reduces various simulation, verification, and synthesis tasks to weighted model counting (#SAT). It supports universal quantum circuits and a…
The generalized quantum Stein's lemma provides an explicit expression for the optimal error exponent when distinguishing many independent and identically distributed (iid) copies of a given bipartite state from the set of separable…
Quantum teleportation have a central role in quantum information science and allows transferring of an unknown quantum state through entanglement and classical communication. Unfortunately, the interaction with external and internal noise…
Traditional entanglement distillation follows a post-processing paradigm, a noisy quantum state, after full transmission through a noisy channel, is treated as a static resource to be purified via LOCC (local operations and classical…
In this article, we introduce a new form of quantum selective measurement in which the von Neumann projection postulate is replaced by quasilinear evolution, governed by a nonlinear generalization of the von Neumann equation. We demonstrate…
We propose replacing the instantaneous state reduction in von Neumann selective measurement with continuous nonlinear evolution. Despite its nonlinearity, this evolution preserves the equivalence of quantum ensembles and hence obeys the…
We present the results of an experimental study of the anomalous anisotropy of alignment signals in cesium vapors under strong spin-exchange conditions near zero magnetic field with linearly polarized optical pumping. We show that the…
The quantum enhancement of success probability in the Random Access Code (RAC) protocols remains unexplored from two important perspectives. First, the use of entanglement between two co-measurable degrees of freedom of a single particle…
We show how one may perform a stochastic unraveling which respects weak permutation symmetry for models of $N$ emitters coupled to a common system (e.g. a cavity mode). For problems involving 2-level emitters, such an unravelling reduces…
Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) is a recently introduced quantum algorithm that reduces discrete optimization to decoding with potential advantages over the best-known polynomial-time classical algorithms for certain Max-LINSAT…
We discuss the interplay between thermodynamics and magic resources in closed quantum dynamics by introducing Clifford ergotropy, the amount of extractable energy under the restriction to Clifford operations. We provide universal upper…
It is known that there exist multi-prover interactive protocols ($\mathsf{MIP}$ protocols) for the complexity class $\mathsf{NEXP}$, succinct $\mathsf{MIP}$ protocols for $\mathsf{NP}$ and multi-prover interactive protocols with shared…
We introduce and solve from first principles a continuous-time quantum walk with absorption generated by a Lindblad boundary sink of arbitrary strength. Tracing out the sink maps the problem onto a non-Hermitian tight-binding Hamiltonian…
We present a Python package for ground-state preparation based on the probabilistic imaginary-time evolution algorithm, with particular focus on its state-vector-based implementation. A standard shot-based simulation is also supported, and…
Partitioning transportation networks into balanced and spatially coherent traffic zones is a fundamental yet computationally challenging task in intelligent transportation systems. The resulting optimization problem exhibits dense…
Herein, we introduce a strategy to decompose an arbitrary square matrix into a linear combination of non-unitaries (LCNU) where each non-unitary term is embedded into a unitary matrix. The result is a linear combination of unitaries (LCU)…
In realistic quantum information processing tasks, quantum states are inevitably affected by environmental noise, leading to decoherence and degradation of useful quantum resources. The coherence fraction, which serves as an important…
We develop a theory of quantum sufficiency on real *-subalgebras and real Jordan algebras. In contrast to the conventional formulation, which is based on families of states, complex completely positive coarse-grainings, and Radon-Nikodym…
A random access code (RAC) encodes an $L$-bit string into a $k$-bit message, where $L>k$, such that any requested bit can be decoded with high probability; a quantum RAC (QRAC) replaces the message with $k$ qubits. This paper provides a…
