Recent advancements have expanded Hardy's nonlocality arguments into multisetting and multidimensional systems to enhance quantum correlations. In comparison with Hardy's nonlocality argument, Cabello's nonlocality argument (CNA) emerges as a superior choice for illustrating nonlocal features. An op…

Permitting the transmission of unknown quantum states over long distances by using entanglement, quantum teleportation serves as an important building block for many quantum technologies. However, in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era, the practical realization of quantum teleportation is inev…

The emergence of quantum mechanics and general relativity has transformed our understanding of the natural world significantly. However, integrating these two theories presents immense challenges, and their interplay remains untested. Recent theoretical studies suggest that the single-photon interfe…

This paper presents a hybrid classical-quantum approach to solve mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) using neutral-atom quantum computations. We apply Benders decomposition (BD) to segment MILPs into a master problem (MP) and a subproblem, where the MP is addressed using a neutral-atom device, a…

A fault-tolerant way to prepare logical code states of Q1 codes, i.e., quantum polar codes encoding one qubit, was recently proposed. The fault tolerance therein is guaranteed by an error detection gadget, where, if an error is detected during the preparation, one entirely discards the preparation. …

We give an explicit construction to perform any n-qubit computational-basis-state transposition using Θ(n) gates. This nearly coincides with the lower bound Ω[n/log(nd)] on worst-case and average-case gate complexities to perform transpositions using a d-element gate set, which we also prove.

Bayesian networks are powerful tools for probabilistic analysis and have been widely used in machine learning and data science. Unlike the time-consuming parameter training process of neural networks, Bayes classifiers constructed on Bayesian networks can make decisions based solely on statistical d…

We provide a rigorous proof of the approximate convergence of sliding-window quantum belief-propagation as outlined heuristically in the work of Bilgin and Poulin [Phys. Rev. B 81, 054106 (2010)], in the absence of the quantum Markov property. In particular, we confirm the hypothesis outlined in thi…

The generation of a logical qubit called the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit in an optical traveling wave is a major challenge for realizing large-scale universal fault-tolerant optical quantum computers. Recently, probabilistic generation of elementary GKP qubits has been demonstrated using p…

As quantum devices become more complex and the requirements on these devices become more demanding, it is crucial to be able to verify the performance of such devices in a scalable and reliable fashion. A cornerstone task in this challenge is quantifying how close an experimentally prepared quantum …

We provide practical and powerful schemes for learning properties of a quantum state using a small number of measurements. Specifically, we present a randomized measurement scheme modulated by the depth of a random quantum circuit in one spatial dimension. This scheme interpolates between two known …

We theoretically formulate and experimentally demonstrate a secure scheme for semi-device-independent quantum random number generation by utilizing Leggett-Garg inequality violations, within a loophole-free photonic architecture. The quantification of the generated randomness is rigorously estimated…

Estimating the fidelity with a target state is important in quantum information tasks. Many fidelity-estimation techniques present a suitable measurement scheme to perform the estimation. In contrast, we present techniques that allow the experimentalist to choose a convenient measurement setting. Ou…
