Entanglement swapping is a fundamental operation in quantum repeaters for establishing entanglement between distant parties. The positive partial transpose (PPT) squared conjecture asks whether two PPT entangled links can generate terminal…
We propose a pulse-shaping method for improving population transfer in multistate stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) with nearest-neighbour couplings only. The method extends the quasiparallel-eigenenergy approach, previously used…
A significant challenge in the field of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation is the influence of noise. In addition to the influence of noise on individual qubits, the smaller additional effect of noise correlations is also of…
The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and its adaptive variants, such as ADAPT-VQE, are central to the study of strongly correlated quantum systems. However, the classical simulation of the ansatz growth process remains constrained by…
Quantifying the disturbance caused by a quantum measurement typically requires detailed knowledge of the underlying measurement channel. In this work, we introduce a statistical disturbance bound, which connects the statistical properties…
Maximal quantum leakage quantifies privacy against adversaries with arbitrary intentions. In this work, we prove that computing this leakage is equivalent to minimum-error quantum state discrimination with equal priors. This establishes a…
Across public tabular benchmarks, quantum machine-learning (QML) models usually lose to carefully tuned classical baselines. We argue that this is a structural property of the datasets rather than merely a limitation of current models.…
Measurement provides access to exploring and understanding nature and finds widespread applications. It is generally believed that the weak external driving used in measurement introduces negligible disturbance to the intrinsic output of…
Grover's algorithm is one of the most significant quantum algorithms, enabling the search for a marked element in an unsorted database quadratically faster than classical search algorithms. We utilize Groves's algorithm to detect the edges…
Non-Gaussianity is an essential resource for genuine quantum advantages in continuous-variable quantum systems and is regarded as a counterpart of the magic resource in discrete-variable systems. Recently, an exact correspondence between…
Motion-mediated trapped-ion gates typically apply synchronized state-dependent forces to both target ions. We consider the complementary setting in which one addressing channel alternates between the targets, so their force windows do not…
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) has attracted extensive attention due to its compatibility and low costs. However, bandwidth mismatch exists to varying degrees between the transmitter and receiver. This may prevent…
Previous investigations of dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) have predominantly focused on sudden quench protocols. In this work, we systematically explore the fate of DQPT from the sudden to the slow quench regime. We establish…
We consider whether every quantum random access code (QRAC) with density-operator encodings and arbitrary decoding measurements obeys the conjectured bound $p\leq(1+\sqrt{m/n})/2$, where $n$ classical bits are encoded into $m$ qubits and…
Neutral-atom arrays and trapped-ion crystals offer complementary strengths for fault-tolerant quantum computing but lack a fast way to deterministically interact. Here we propose a controlled-$Z$ gate generated by the charge-induced-dipole…
Learning a classical description of a quantum state is a fundamental task in quantum computation. Among the most important classes of quantum states are stabilizer states, which play a central role in quantum error correction and…
In this work, we establish a structural correspondence between quantum states and matroid theory. This connection demonstrates that key properties of quantum states, including entanglement and measurement, can be characterized in purely…
Alternating Current Optimal Power Flow Unit Commitment (AC-OPF-UC) is a difficult mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem that combines binary generator commitment decisions with nonconvex continuous AC power-flow constraints. In this…
In the Hayden--Preskill protocol, the decoder is usually assumed to know the microscopic identity of the collected output qubits. We study what happens when these labels are unavailable and only the relative order of the received qubits is…
Quantum platforms can realize many-body dynamics beyond classical simulation yet complete readout remains intractable: the cost of extracting accessible information scales exponentially with system size. Classical shadows and Bell sampling…
