The Hamiltonian, which determines the evolution of a quantum system, is fundamental in quantum physics. Therefore, it is crucial to implement high-precision generation and measurement of the Hamiltonian in a practical quantum system. Here, we experimentally demonstrate ultrahigh-precision Hamiltonia…

We propose a new approach to simulate the decoherence of a central spin coupled to an interacting dissipative spin bath with cluster-correlation expansion techniques. We benchmark the approach on generic 1D and 2D spin baths and find excellent agreement with numerically exact simulations. Our calcul…

Two independent papers answer an important open question by showing that generalized measurements are not more powerful than projection-valued measurements in quantum steering with two-qubit Werner states.

A powerful tool emerging from the study of many-body quantum dynamics is that of dual-unitary circuits, which are unitary even when read “sideways,” i.e., along the spatial direction. Here, we show that this provides the ideal framework to understand and expand on the notion of measurement-based qua…

The Knill-Laflamme conditions distinguish exact quantum error correction codes, and they have played a critical role in the discovery of state-of-the-art codes. However, the family of exact codes is a very restrictive one and does not necessarily contain the best-performing codes. Therefore, it is d…

We consider an all-optical system consisting of two whispering-gallery-mode microring resonators and two adjacent optical waveguides. Pumping fields from different directions can simultaneously excite both clockwise and counterclockwise modes in the two resonators. When the propagation direction of …

In many natural and engineered systems, unknown quantum channels act on a subsystem that cannot be directly controlled and measured, but is instead learned through a controllable subsystem that weakly interacts with it. We study quantum channel discrimination (QCD) under these restrictions, which we…

This article focuses on the development of scalable and qubit-efficient algorithms for computing power functions of random quantum states. Two algorithms, based on the Hadamard Test and Gate Set Tomography, are proposed. We provide a comparative analysis of their computational outcomes, accompanied …

Gaussian states with nonclassical properties such as squeezing and entanglement serve as crucial resources for quantum information processing. Accurately quantifying these properties within multimode Gaussian states has posed some challenges. To address this, we introduce a unified quantification: t…

Energy extraction from quantum batteries by means of completely positive trace-preserving (CPTP) maps leads to the concept of CPTP-local passive states, which identify bipartite states from which no energy can be squeezed out by applying any CPTP map to a particular subsystem. We prove, for arbitrar…

Stabilizer entropies (SEs) are measures of nonstabilizerness or “magic” that quantify the degree to which a state is described by stabilizers. SEs are especially interesting due to their connections to scrambling, localization and property testing. However, applications have been limited so far as p…

Nonclassical features of quantum systems have the potential to strengthen the way we currently exchange information. In this paper, we explore this enhancement on the most basic level of single particles. To be more precise, we compare how well multiparty information can be transmitted to a single r…
