Quantum 9, 1618 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1618 Unlike the surface code, quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes can have a finite encoding rate, potentially lowering the error correction overhead. However, finite-rate QLDPC codes have nonlocal stabilizers, making it […]
Quantum 9, 1617 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1617 Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) hold much promise but face the challenge of exponentially small gradients. Unmitigated, this barren plateau (BP) phenomenon leads to an exponential training overhead for VQAs. Perhaps […]
Insider Brief: Riverlane appoints Liz Durst as VP of QEC Community to lead efforts in quantum error correction (QEC) and build a global developer community. Durst previously led the development of IBM’s Qiskit, which now […]
Quantum 9, 1616 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1616 The Page-Wootters formalism is a proposal for reconciling the background-dependent, quantum-mechanical notion of time with the background independence of general relativity. However, the physical meaning of this framework remains debated. […]
Quantum 9, 1615 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-01-30-1615 Dual-unitary quantum circuits have recently attracted attention as an analytically tractable model of many-body quantum dynamics. Consisting of a 1+1D lattice of 2-qudit gates arranged in a ‘brickwork’ pattern, these […]
