Like taxes and death, nutrition is something we can’t escape. Eating should be easy. Yet it’s also massively confusing, prone to misinformation, and utterly personal. Take competitive eaters who regularly chow down on thousands of […]
Modern life can feel dizzying, like everything is motion and change. But there are some constants we set our lives against: the relative position of the stars wheeling above, the mountaintops below, and the continents […]
Quantum 5, 400 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-24-400 The Gottesman-Knill theorem states that a Clifford circuit acting on stabilizer states can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. Recently, this result has been generalized to cover inputs that […]
Quantum 5, 399 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-22-399 Simulating the dynamics and the non-equilibrium steady state of an open quantum system are hard computational tasks on conventional computers. For the simulation of the time evolution, several efficient quantum […]
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, 395 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-11-395 Path integral quantum Monte Carlo (PIMC) is a method for estimating thermal equilibrium properties of stoquastic quantum spin systems by sampling from a classical Gibbs distribution using Markov chain Monte […]
Quantum 5, 394 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-08-394 We gather and examine in detail gate decomposition techniques for continuous-variable quantum computers and also introduce some new techniques which expand on these methods. Both exact and approximate decomposition methods […]
