Photon blockade is vital for single-photon generation, but current schemes with conventional and unconventional photon blockade face critical limitations like the purity-brightness trade-off, hindering the generation of high-performance…
Standard quantum mechanics is an idealisation based on infinite-precision objects: point states, exact probabilities, and sharp measurements. Yet every real experiment has finite resolution, and for macroscopic systems we never have access…
Achieving quantum state transfer in passive ways can become a powerful asset for scalable quantum networks. Here, we demonstrate how giant atoms coupled to 1D waveguides provide a platform for such a passive, deterministic transfer.…
Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires high-fidelity logical magic states for implementing non-Clifford operations. Magic-state cultivation provides a lower-overhead route to logical magic-state preparation, but its efficiency is limited…
We introduce a geometric formulation of quantum indeterminacy from which the standard uncertainty inequalities emerge as necessary consequences. Our approach is based on convex geometry in phase space and on methods from symplectic…
We study the entanglement distance of variational quantum states for two-qubit and multi-qubit systems. These states are constructed using variational quantum circuits with $R_Y$ rotations and entangling $CZ$ gates. For the two-qubit case,…
We propose a novel measurement-free scheme for stabilizing a spin-oscillator hybrid qubit via autonomous quantum error correction. The engineered Lindbladian renders the code space into an attractive steady-state subspace, realized by…
We introduce a twisted fiber bundle construction of quantum CSS codes over group algebras \(R=\mathbb F_2[G]\), where each base generator carries a generator-dependent \(R\)-linear fiber twist satisfying a flatness condition. This…
Open quantum batteries (QBs) operate under unavoidable system-environment interactions, where both dissipation and coherent renormalization influence their performance. While most previous studies focus on dissipative effects, the role of…
We identify an operational principle that singles out Projection-Valued Measures (PVMs) among general Positive Operator-Valued Measures (POVMs), bridging the modern quantum measurement theory and the traditional formulation based on…
Across diverse synthetic and real-world interaction graphs, the variational landscapes of reduced Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) instances obtained via variable freezing exhibit a robust universality. Leveraging this…
An industrial-scale adoption of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) requires the development of practical, stable, resilient and cost-effective hardware that can be manufactured at large scales. In this work we present a high-speed (1.25GHz),…
Topological quantum computation encodes quantum information in the internal fusion space of non-Abelian anyonic quasiparticles, whose braiding implements logical gates. This goes beyond Abelian topological order (TO) such as the toric code,…
Quantum theory is widely regarded as fundamentally indeterministic, yet classical frameworks can also exhibit indeterminism once infinite information is abandoned. At the same time, relativity is usually taken to forbid superluminal…
High-dimensional quantum key distribution (HD-QKD) enhances information efficiency and noise tolerance by encoding data in large Hilbert spaces. The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light provides a scalable basis for such encoding and…
Gaussian Boson Sampling (GBS) provides a route toward demonstrating quantum computational advantage. However, optical loss, which reduces the entanglement in the system, can render GBS results classically simulable. We propose a nonlinear…
Quantum computing has the potential to transform simulations of quantum many-body problems at the heart of electronic structure theory. Efficient quantum algorithms to compute the eigenstates of fermionic Hamiltonians, such as quantum phase…
Permutation symmetry plays a central role in the understanding of collective quantum dynamics. By introducing power law couplings that algebraically decay with the distance between the spins $r$ as $1/r^{\alpha}$, we break this symmetry…
Partial differential equation (PDE)-constrained optimization, where an optimization problem is subject to PDE constraints, arises in various applications such as design, control, and inference. Solving such problems is computationally…
Among the many quasiprobability representations of quantum mechanics, the family of Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) representations has come to the foreground in recent years. Each such KD representation is determined by the choice of two complementary…
