The race to build the first practical quantum computers looks like a two-horse contest between machines built from superconducting qubits and those that use trapped ions. But new research suggests a third contender—machines based on […]

Quantum 5, 409 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-11-409 The framework of quantum invariants is an elegant generalization of adiabatic quantum control to control fields that do not need to change slowly. Due to the unavailability of invariants for […]
Quantum 5, 408 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-10-408 In stochastic thermodynamics work is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in the free energy of the system. In most treatments, however, the work reservoir that […]
Quantum 5, 407 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-10-407 The optimal allocation of resources is a crucial task for their efficient use in a wide range of practical applications in science and engineering. This paper investigates the optimal allocation […]
Quantum 5, 406 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-10-406 Homological product codes are a class of codes that can have improved distance while retaining relatively low stabilizer weight. We show how to build union-find decoders for these codes, using […]
Quantum 5, 405 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-10-405 The commodity-based cryptography is an alternative approach to realize conventionally impossible cryptographic primitives such as unconditionally secure bit-commitment by consuming pre-established correlation between distrustful participants. A unit of such classical […]
Quantum 5, 404 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-08-404 The double slit experiment provides a clear demarcation between classical and quantum theory, while multi-slit experiments demarcate quantum and higher-order interference theories. In this work we show that these experiments […]
For decades, the computer chips that run everything from PCs to spaceships have looked remarkably similar. But as Moore’s Law slows, industry leaders are moving towards specialized chips, which experts say threatens to undermine the […]
Quantum 5, 403 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-07-403 We study the query complexity of quantum learning problems in which the oracles form a group $G$ of unitary matrices. In the simplest case, one wishes to identify the oracle, […]
Quantum 5, 402 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-03-07-402 An $noverset{p}{mapsto}m$ random access code (RAC) is an encoding of $n$ bits into $m$ bits such that any initial bit can be recovered with probability at least $p$, while in […]
