Quantum Physics
We describe a general formalism for quantum dynamics and show how this formalism subsumes several quantum algorithms including the Deutsch, Deutsch-Jozsa, Bernstein-Vazirani, Simon, and Shor algorithms as well as the conventional approach…
Connection-less, packet-switched quantum network architectures distribute entanglement across multi-hop paths through sequential entanglement swapping, in which each node acts on purely local state information. The architectural advantages…
We study the complexity of approximately contracting translation-invariant tensor networks. The computational cost of row-by-row tensor network contraction, which defines a discrete time evolution governed by a fixed transfer matrix, is…
We report experimental digital quantum simulation of the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model on a superconducting quantum processor at a scale beyond the reach of exact statevector simulation and challenging for state-of-the-art…
Free energy fixes the maximum work of a thermodynamic process once the state and Hamiltonian are specified. A work-extraction task asks a different question: how much average work can a single device realize across several preparations and…
When an electron is accelerated, it emits radiation. In the relativistic quantum realm the elementary radiation process is the emission of a single photon, a process known as nonlinear Compton scattering in the case of an electron moving in…
Parametrically driven cavity solitons (PDCS), unlike single-pumped cavity solitons, are localized optical pulses arising from parametric processes. These cavity solitons, recently discovered in pure-Kerr media, offer great promise for…
We show that steady-state entanglement in open quantum systems is controlled by the phase reference of a phase-sensitive reservoir. Using a covariance-matrix approach for Gaussian-preserving dynamics, we demonstrate that purely local,…
We introduce new formulations of the quantum Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (QCRB) and the Holevo Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (HCRB) in multi-parameter quantum metrology via purification, where we show their values for any mixed state are connected to that…
We revisit the reduction of Cheng and Wan, which transforms instances of the discrete logarithm problem (DLOG) over finite fields into a decoding problem for Reed--Solomon codes, and study how Regev's reduction can be used to solve these…
We develop a Fisher-informational reformulation of physical time in which clock time is not regarded as a fundamental ontological substance, but as an emergent calibration of causally ordered distinguishability among physical states. The…
Shor's algorithm is one of the most promising applications of quantum computers. However, since $\sim 10^6$ physical qubits are believed to be required for established approaches, the algorithm will need to be distributed across many…
Nonstabilizerness, commonly referred to as magic, is a fundamental resource underpinning quantum advantage. In this paper, we propose a magic-informed quantum architecture search (QAS) technique that enables control over a quantum resource…
When combined with highly expressive ansatz functions such as neural quantum states, variational Monte Carlo (VMC) constitutes a versatile numerical approach to tackle the quantum many-body problem in and out of equilibrium. However, its…
Estimating a uniform magnetic field B0 and its spatial gradient g on a dipolar-coupled spin chain calls for a multiparameter figure of merit. The GHZ state, optimal for single-parameter Heisenberg-limited sensing, has a rank-one quantum…
The quantum internet aims to interconnect distant devices and enable large-scale computation through distributed quantum algorithms. One of the key obstacles is communication latency during computation. Even separations of a few hundred…
Pauli-based computation (PBC) provides a universal framework for executing fault-tolerant quantum algorithms using Pauli measurements and magic states. In monolithic architectures, the serialized nature of PBC directly ties runtime to a…
We construct a quantum theory of light in nonlinear dielectric media with dispersion and absorption. We employ a mesoscopic model for the light-matter interaction that include a fourth-order nonlinearity in the material response.…
We thank the Commentator for his detailed critique, which provides an opportunity to clarify the physical foundations of our work. While we appreciate the emphasis on rigor when applying quantum information concepts to high-energy physics…
It is expected that the statistical fluctuations of local observables in large quantum systems obey the central limit theorem, and approximate a normal distribution as their size grows. Here, we prove a version of the Berry-Esseen theorem…
