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 […]
Quantum 5, 393 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-02-04-393 Gauge theories establish the standard model of particle physics, and lattice gauge theory (LGT) calculations employing Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been pivotal in our understanding of fundamental […]
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 […]
