Quantum 5, 543 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-16-543 We give new quantum algorithms for evaluating composed functions whose inputs may be shared between bottom-level gates. Let $f$ be an $m$-bit Boolean function and consider an $n$-bit function $F$ […]
Quantum 5, 542 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-15-542 This paper studies the application of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) to spin-glass models with random multi-body couplings in the limit of a large number of spins. We show […]
Quantum 5, 541 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-14-541 The mutual information is a measure of classical and quantum correlations of great interest in quantum information. It is also relevant in quantum many-body physics, by virtue of satisfying an […]
Quantum 5, 540 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-13-540 We establish an analytical lower bound on the asymptotic secret key rate of continuous-variable quantum key distribution with an arbitrary modulation of coherent states. Previously, such bounds were only available […]
Quantum 5, 539 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-09-539 The recent advent of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices, especially near-term quantum computers, has sparked extensive research efforts concerned with their possible applications. At the forefront of the considered approaches are […]
Quantum 5, 538 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-09-538 Guided by the intuition of coherent superposition of causal relations, recent works presented quantum processes without classical common-cause and direct-cause explanation, that is, processes which cannot be written as probabilistic […]
Quantum 5, 537 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-07-537 Distributing entanglement over long distances is one of the central tasks in quantum networks. An important problem, especially for near-term quantum networks, is to develop optimal entanglement distribution protocols that […]
Quantum 5, 536 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-07-536 In its standard formulation, quantum backflow is a classically impossible phenomenon in which a free quantum particle in a positive-momentum state exhibits a negative probability current. Recently, Miller et al. […]
Quantum 5, 535 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-09-02-535 One strategy to fit larger problems on NISQ devices is to exploit a tradeoff between circuit width and circuit depth. Unfortunately, this tradeoff still limits the size of tractable problems […]
Quantum 5, 534 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-08-31-534 Quantum computing can efficiently simulate Hamiltonian dynamics of many-body quantum physics, a task that is generally intractable with classical computers. The hardness lies at the ubiquitous anti-commutative relations of quantum […]
