We study the thermodynamics of a quantum measurement-powered engine that converts energy injected by measurement backaction into work. We consider an engine with a finite-dimensional working substance, driven purely by quantum measurements,…
Understanding quantum system dynamics driven by nonclassical light pulses is challenging, particularly for general light states with large photon numbers. Here we introduce an efficient framework that makes this task tractable. By…
Entanglement is a key resource for many quantum applications. Understanding fundamental properties of entangled states is an important step towards their practical exploitation. We characterize entanglement in the context of Gaussian and…
Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (DIQKD) provides information-theoretic security by relying solely on the violation of Bell inequalities, eliminating the need to trust the quantum devices. However, practical implementations of…
Hybrid quantum optimization for vehicle routing faces a practical bottleneck: direct QUBO encodings of CVRP quickly exceed near-term qubit and gate budgets, while quantum evaluations are expensive, noise-limited, and sensitive to backend…
Paraparticles beyond bosons and fermions can be exchanged via either the braid group (anyons, existing up to $D=2$ space dimensions) or the permutation group; in the latter case the space dimensions are not limited. Besides being predicted,…
Surface oxides contribute to losses in superconducting transmon devices resulting in degraded performance. We explore the use of the damascene process to replace the sidewall native oxide of a device with a metal/substrate interface. We…
Measurement-only circuits provide a minimal setting in which repeated local projections can either generate or suppress many-body entanglement, giving rise to measurement-induced phase transitions and dynamical regimes, that might have no…
We explore the performance of the time-convolutionless (TCL) projection operator technique using the Fano-Anderson model as a test case. Comparing the exact TCL master equation with an expansion in powers of the strength of the…
We study random entanglement percolation in heterogeneous quantum networks, where the singlet-conversion probabilities (SCPs) of the edges are drawn from a probability distribution rather than being fixed. After briefly recalling random…
We cast the design of parameterized quantum circuits as a four-player potential game whose state is a circuit directed acyclic graph (DAG) and whose players encode trainability, non-stabilizerness, task performance, and hardware cost.…
We construct a quantum low-density parity-check code family from a length-$512$ Calderbank--Shor--Steane base matrix pair. The base pair is permutation-equivalent to the known SPC(3) product CSS code, and the present affine-coset…
Distributed quantum computing offers a promising approach to scaling quantum devices by networking multiple quantum processors. We present a quantum state tomography protocol tailored for distributed quantum computers that avoids assuming…
The standard stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) protocol enables high-fidelity quantum state transfer in an ideal three-level system via adiabatic following of a dark state evolution. However, in practical systems with more energy…
The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) has emerged as a promising approach for addressing combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum hardware. In this work, we conduct an empirical evaluation of QAOA on the…
We introduce a systematic protocol for constructing quantum Hilbert-space-fragmented Hamiltonians, whose Krylov-sector structure, unlike in classically fragmented models, can be fully resolved only in an entangled basis. The protocol takes…
Superconducting quantum processor units (QPUs) are incapable of producing massive datasets for quantum error correction (QEC) because of hardware limitations. Thus, QEC decoders heavily depend on synthetic data from qubit error models.…
Atom loss is a dominant error source in neutral-atom quantum processors, yet its correlated structure remains largely unexploited by existing quantum error correction decoders. We analyze the performance of the surface code equipped with…
Solving large-scale sparse linear systems is a challenging computational task due to the introduction of non-zero elements, or "fill-in." The Graph Partitioning Problem (GPP) arises naturally when minimizing fill-in and accelerating…
We study the error-correction properties of multi-mode Fock-state codes under amplitude-damping (AD) noise, focusing on the asymptotic regime in which the total excitation of the code states grows without limit and the number of photon…
