Photonic quantum technologies rely on the efficient generation and interference of indistinguishable photons. Exceptional achievements in this respect have been obtained by domain engineering of quasi-phase-matched parametric…
Quantum metrology seeks to leverage the richness of quantum systems for making better measurements than are possible using only classical resources in order to gain a ``quantum advantage''. Quantum metrology schemes must also be resilient…
Characterizing the open-system dynamics of multilevel quantum systems (qudits) remains a fundamental challenge due to ensemble inhomogeneities and complex environmental interactions. Here, we introduce a computationally efficient quantum…
Simulating vibronic spectra is a central task in physical chemistry, offering insight into important properties of molecules. Recently, it has been experimentally demonstrated that photonic platforms based on Gaussian boson sampling (GBS)…
We determine the exact asymptotic many-body wavefunction of a spin-$s$ Richardson-Gaudin model with a coupling inversely proportional to time, for time evolution starting from the ground state at $t = 0^+$ and for arbitrary $s$. Contrary to…
Universal quantum computers require entanglement and non-stabilizerness, a resource known as \textit{quantum magic}. Here, we introduce a protocol that prepares magic steady states by leveraging non-Hermitian dynamics, which, contrary to…
In this article we revisit objectivity conditions for the quantum Brownian motion (QBM) model under the recoilless (Born-Oppenheimer) limit. The purpose of this study is to correct and clarify the previous objectivity analysis based on the…
Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) are among the most promising quantum algorithms for solving electronic structure problems in quantum chemistry, particularly during the Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) era. In this study, we…
The use of quantm mechanisms in the service of voting security suffers from the problem that in order to generate keys for voters and verifiers a point to point connection has to be physically established for each pair, rendering this…
We formalize and study the Hamiltonian certification problem. Given access to $e^{-\mathrm{i} Ht}$ for an unknown Hamiltonian $H$, the goal of the problem is to determine whether $H$ is $\varepsilon_1$-close to or $\varepsilon_2$-far from a…
Modern quantum hardware exposes heterogeneous two-qubit instruction sets through fractional, continuously parameterized, and per-pair native gates, but synthesis remains largely framed around CNOT and a small catalog of closed-form rules.…
Bell's seminal work showed that no local hidden variable (LHV) model can fully reproduce the quantum correlations of a two-qubit singlet state. His argument and later developments by Clauser et al. effectively rely on gaps between the…
In standard quantum teleportation, the receiver must wait for a classical message from the sender before subsequently processing the transmitted quantum information. However, in port-based teleportation (PBT), this local processing can…
Exceptional points (EPs) are non-Hermitian singularities associated with the coalescence of individual eigenvectors accompanied by the degeneracy of their complex energies. Here, we report the discovery of a generalization to the concept of…
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) plays a vital role in remote sensing due to its ability to capture high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions or daylight. However, to transform the raw SAR signals into interpretable imagery,…
We develop a graph-based method to study the entanglement entropy of Calderbank-Shor-Steane quantum codes. This method offers a straightforward interpretation for the entanglement entropy of quantum error correcting codes through…
Continuous-variable Gaussian entanglement is an attractive notion, both as a fundamental concept in quantum information theory, based on the well-established Gaussian formalism for phase-space variables, and as a practical resource in…
Efficient quantum repeaters are needed to combat photon losses in fibers in future quantum networks. Single atom coupled with photonic cavity offers a great platform for photon-atom gate. Here I propose a quantum repeater scheme with…
Quantum computers can efficiently solve problems which are widely believed to lie beyond the reach of classical computers. In the near-term, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, which efficiently embed quantum hardware in classical…
We provide a detailed exposition of the connections between Boltzmann machines commonly utilized in machine learning problems and the ideas already well known in quantum statistical mechanics through Feynman's description of the same. We…
