Quantum 5, 398 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-17-398 It has long been known that long-ranged entangled topological phases can be exploited to protect quantum information against unwanted local errors. Indeed, conditions for intrinsic topological order are reminiscent of […]
Quantum 5, 397 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-15-397 Quantum communication technologies show great promise for applications ranging from the secure transmission of secret messages to distributed quantum computing. Due to fiber losses, long-distance quantum communication requires the use […]
Quantum 5, 396 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-15-396 For universal quantum computation, a major challenge to overcome for practical implementation is the large amount of resources required for fault-tolerant quantum information processing. An important aspect is implementing arbitrary […]

Quantum 5, 392 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-04-392 Photonics is the platform of choice to build a modular, easy-to-network quantum computer operating at room temperature. However, no concrete architecture has been presented so far that exploits both the […]
Quantum 5, 391 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-01-28-391 We propose an efficient method for simultaneously optimizing both the structure and parameter values of quantum circuits with only a small computational overhead. Shallow circuits that use structure optimization perform […]
Quantum 5, 390 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-01-28-390 We discuss the notion of coherent states from three different perspectives: the seminal approach of Schrödinger, the experimental take of quantum optics, and the theoretical developments in quantum gravity. This […]
Quantum 5, 389 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-01-28-389 Quantum nonlocal correlations are generated by implementation of local quantum measurements on spatially separated quantum subsystems. Depending on the underlying mathematical model, various notions of sets of quantum correlations can […]
