    Different quantum hardware of the current NISQ generation have a different basis set of quantum operations and a limited connectivity among different qubits, which requires the execution of a general quantum circuit to undergo a lot of pre-processing. Quantum circuit compilation is the process of making quantum circuits executable on a particular quantum device. This usually involves multiple...

    Quantum error mitigation (QEM) infers noiseless expectation values by combining outcomes from intentionally modified, noisy variants of a target quantum circuit. Unlike quantum error correction, QEM requires no additional hardware resources and is therefore routinely employed in experiments on contemporary quantum processors. A central limitation of QEM is its substantial sampling overhead,...

    he quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) has emerged as a promising candidate for demonstrating quantum advantage on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. While various QAOA parameterization schemes exist, ranging from the original single-angle approach to the more expressive multi-angle quantum approximate optimization algorithm (MA-QAOA) and automorphic-angle quantum...

    The goal of the bulk reconstruction program is to construct boundary representations of fields in asymptotically Anti-de Sitter spacetimes. In this paper, we extend the program by computing the boundary representation of massless fields in an Achucarro-Ortiz black hole spacetime. We obtain analytic expressions for smearing functions in both the exterior and interior of the black hole. We also...

    Quantum reservoir computing is very promising due to its energy efficiency and high operating speed. A key paradigm of this information processing is represented by the quantum memristor[1], which has been implemented in the photonic platform. Their predictive capabilities have already been demonstrated experimentally [2]. This work focuses on implementing cascaded photonic memristors to...

    Abstract
    Quantum critical points (QCPs) in ferromagnetic alloys arise from disorder and are characterized by quantum Griffiths phases (QGPs) - regions containing dynamic cluster formations. Previous research on Ni1-xVx alloys near the critical concentration xc employed muon spin relaxation (μSR) techniques [1], providing evidence for QGP characteristics. Ni1-xCrx alloys are expected to...

    On the road to achieving Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC), error correction on qubits is a necessary milestone for quantum computers to overperform the best classical supercalculators in the world. Recently, a new hybrid framework known as Spin-Optical Quantum Computing (SPOQC) [1] emerged and is very promising. It consists of entangling spins with photons, where the spin acts as the...

    Discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) are a fundamental tool in quantum information processing, enabling coherent control over unitary dynamics and the exploration of complex behavior arising from ordered sequences of unitary operations. These dynamics can also be emulated using classical coherent light in linear optical systems, providing a flexible platform for studying phenomena such as...

    I will present the results from our latest work on the mean-field regime of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Mean-field theory approximates complex many-body quantum dynamics through an effective single-particle evolution governed by nonlinear equations. In the standard setting of Hermitian Hamiltonians, such a mean-field limit is by now well understood and leads to the Hartree or Gross–Pitaevskii...

    We propose a 2D/1D quantum/classical correspondence between a 1+1D $\phi^4$ interacting renormalizable scalar quantum field theory with Lifshitz scaling (LFT) and a 1D nonunitary $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric Euclidean classical theory by developing a Rokhsar-Kivelson family of Lifshitz groundstates. We construct the kernel propagators of our chosen Lifshitz field theory by solving the equivalent...

    Highly excited atoms named after Janne Rydberg have played an important role throughout the history of atomic physics. In recent years, their strong mutual interaction was key to realize quantum computers and simulators with individual atoms trapped in optical tweezer arrays. Coherence times or gate fidelities reached on these devices are, however, fundamentally limited by the lifetime of the...

    Scaling current superconducting quantum computing architectures requires the linear scaling of their control electronics. A fault-tolerant quantum system would thus require millions of control wires and electronic channels, which is infeasible due to engineering and economical constraints. At Planckian, we have developed several proposals to overcome this “wiring bottleneck” using global...

    Continuous-variable (CV) systems—described in terms of observables with a continuous spectrum, such as the position and momentum operators of a bosonic field—are attracting increasing interest as a platform for developing scalable and reliable quantum computing architectures.

    We study an adiabatic variant of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) in which VQE is performed iteratively for a sequence of Hamiltonians along an adiabatic path. We derive the conditions under which gradient-based optimization successfully prepares the adiabatic ground states. These conditions show that the barren plateau problem and local optima can be avoided. Additionally, we propose...

    Photons offer a promising platform for several quantum technology applications.

    Measurement-based quantum computation with continuous variables [Menicucci et al., 2014], implemented using photonic modes, constitutes a highly promising platform for realizing universal, fault-tolerant, and scalable quantum computation.
    This paradigm relies on the generation of large-scale entangled resource states (cluster states) which serve as a computational substrate upon which...

    Colour centres in silicon have great potential as single photon sources for quantum technologies. Some of them, like the T centre, also possess optically-active spins that enable spin-photon interfaces for generating entangled photons and multi-spin registers. We explore the generation of several types of colour centres in silicon for mass-manufacturable silicon-on-insulator quantum devices....

    We present a room-temperature photonic quantum computing architecture based on structured-light Majorana qudits for hybrid processing from edge to cloud. The method maps finite sectors of the Majorana Tower onto spin-orbital angular momentum photonic modes, realizing a Z2 × Z2-graded encoding of high-dimensional quantum information. The resulting platform supports deterministic two qubit gate...

    Sets of complementary observables with mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are at the core of quantum uncertainty: Perfect knowledge of one implies maximal indetermination in all the others. This concept is captured by the uncertainty relations, which set a lower bound either on the product or on the sum of the uncertainties of the observables. In both cases, the MUBs yield the largest bound,...

    In the NISQ era (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum era), Molecular nanomagnets (MNMs) – molecules containing one or few interacting spins – are emerging as promising building blocks for quantum technologies [1]. Since they naturally provide many accessible low-energy levels, they are particularly suitable to encode qudits, i.e. quantum digits with more than 2 levels, thus enlarging the tools of...

    Imaginary-time evolution (ITE) underpins a broad family of algorithms for ground-state preparation, spanning diffusion Monte Carlo, simulated annealing, and quantum imaginary-time evolution. In almost all these methods, convergence is governed by the energy variance of the instantaneous state, a fundamental bottleneck that has remained unaddressed. Here we introduce generalized imaginary-time...

    In this talk, we present a new approach to improve the accuracy of ground state approximations in Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithms. We employ subspace representations where orthogonality is enforced via "soft-coded" constraints within the cost function, rather than "hard-coded" at the circuit level.

    Similar to other subspace-based methods like Subspace-Search VQE (SSVQE) and...

    In this talk I will discuss the connection between quantum error correction and lattice gauge theories, and how it can be exploited to find different models. The redundant degrees of freedom present in lattice gauge theories can be interpreted through the language of quantum error correction, allowing one to remove gauge redundancy while preserving locality. In particular, I will show how...
