Quantum 5, 592 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-26-592 Achieving near-term quantum advantage will require accurate estimation of quantum observables despite significant hardware noise. For this purpose, we propose a novel, scalable error-mitigation method that applies to gate-based quantum […]
Quantum 5, 591 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-25-591 We investigate the interplay between Aharonov-Bohm (AB) caging and topological protection in a family of quasi-one-dimensional topological insulators, which we term CSSH ladders. Hybrids of the Creutz ladder and the […]
Quantum 5, 590 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-25-590 Quantum dynamics of driven open systems should be compatible with both quantum mechanic and thermodynamic principles. By formulating the thermodynamic principles in terms of a set of postulates we obtain […]
Quantum 5, 589 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-25-589 We consider the entanglement marginal problem, which consists of deciding whether a number of reduced density matrices are compatible with an overall separable quantum state. To tackle this problem, we […]
Quantum 5, 588 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-25-588 Gleason-type theorems for quantum theory allow one to recover the quantum state space by assuming that (i) states consistently assign probabilities to measurement outcomes and that (ii) there is a […]
Quantum 5, 587 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-24-587 We present two new results about exact learning by quantum computers. First, we show how to exactly learn a $k$-Fourier-sparse $n$-bit Boolean function from $O(k^{1.5}(log k)^2)$ uniform quantum examples for […]
Quantum 5, 586 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-23-586 We present a new tensor network algorithm for calculating the partition function of interacting quantum field theories in 2 dimensions. It is based on the Tensor Renormalization Group (TRG) protocol, […]
Quantum 5, 585 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-22-585 We study the performance of medium-length quantum LDPC (QLDPC) codes in the depolarizing channel. Only degenerate codes with the maximal stabilizer weight much smaller than their minimum distance are considered. […]
Quantum 5, 584 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-18-584 I’ve been building Powerpoint-based quantum computers with electron spins in silicon for 20 years. Unfortunately, real-life-based quantum dot quantum computers are harder to implement. Materials, fabrication, and control challenges still […]
Quantum 5, 583 (2021). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2021-11-17-583 $textbf{scqubits}$ is an open-source Python package for simulating and analyzing superconducting circuits. It provides convenient routines to obtain energy spectra of common superconducting qubits, such as the transmon, fluxonium, flux, […]
