Neural quantum states efficiently represent many-body wavefunctions with neural networks, but the cost of Monte Carlo sampling limits their scaling to large system sizes. Here we address this challenge by combining sparse Boltzmann machine…
Quantum many-body scars break ergodicity and evade thermalization, resulting in sub-volume law entanglement entropy even with high energy density. While their quantum correlations and entanglement have been elaborated previously, their…
The emerging field of quantum thermodynamics is beginning to reveal the intriguing role that information can play in quantum thermal engines. Information enters as a resource when considering feedback-controlled thermal machines. While both…
Non-classical quantum correlations underpin both the foundations of quantum mechanics and modern quantum technologies. Among them, Bell nonlocality is a central example. For bipartite Bell inequalities, nonlocal correlations obey strict…
We present a technique for performing quantum detector tomography (QDT) of phase insensitive quantum detectors, a category under which many detectors of interest fall under, using gradient descent-based optimization to learn the positive…
Quantum advantage arises from quantum states that cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer. Such states are characterised by a property known as nonstabiliserness. In this work, we investigate whether nonstabiliserness can be…
We characterize spectroscopic and coherence properties of the 1451.37 nm excited-state zero-phonon line (ZPL) between the $^{3}F_{4}$ and the $^{3}H_{4}$ manifolds of a thulium-doped yttrium aluminum perovskite (Tm$^{3+}$:YAlO$_3$) crystal…
The Cable Routing Optimization Problem (CROP) is a Multi-Commodity Flow Problem (MCFP) central to industrial layouts and smart manufacturing. Historically, quantum optimization has modeled MCFPs as Quadratic Unconstrained Binary…
We propose a single-shot conditional displacement gate between a trapped atom as the control qubit and a traveling light pulse as the target oscillator, mediated by an optical cavity. Classical driving of the atom synchronized with the…
The efficiency of adiabatic quantum evolution is governed by the evolution time $T$, which typically scales as $\mathcal{O}(\Delta^{-2})$ with the minimum energy gap $\Delta$. However, the rigorous lower bound is…
Practical repeaterless quantum communication (PRQC) is constrained by the divergence of quantum bit error rate (QBER) arising from the interplay between channel loss and single-photon detector (SPD) dark counts. As the channel transmission…
Fermionic quantum processors are a promising platform for quantum simulation of correlated fermionic matter. In this work, we study a hardware-efficient protocol for measuring complex expectation values of the time-evolution operator,…
The intuition that the precision of observables is constrained by thermodynamic costs has recently been formalized through thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations. While such trade-offs have been extensively studied in Markovian…
Fluctuations can drive continuous phase transitions between two distinct ordered phases -- so-called deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) -- which lie beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. Despite several theoretical predictions…
Quantum algorithms are of great interest for their possible use in optimization problems. In particular, variational algorithms that use classical counterparts to optimize parameters hold promise for use in currently existing devices.…
Gaussian states hold a fundamental place in quantum mechanics, quantum information, and quantum computing. Many subfields, including quantum simulation of continuous-variable systems, quantum chemistry, and quantum machine learning, rely on…
While there is strong evidence for advantages of quantum over classical computation, the repertoire of computational primitives with proven or conjectured quantum advantage remains limited. A big challenge of quantum algorithmic design is a…
Quantum tunnelling of electrons can be confined to the sub-cycle time scale of strong light fields, contributing decisively to the extreme time resolution of attosecond science. Because tunnelling also enables atomic-scale spatial…
Electron-molecule collisions play a central role in both natural processes and modern technological applications, particularly in plasma processing. Conventional computational strategies such as the R-matrix method have been widely adopted…
We investigate a nonequilibrium quantum thermometry protocol in which an ensemble of qubits, acting as temperature probes, is weakly coupled to a macroscopic thermal bath. The temperature of the bath, the parameter of interest, is encoded…
