The inherent irreversibility of quantum dynamics for open systems poses a significant barrier to the inversion of unknown quantum processes. To tackle this challenge, we propose the framework of virtual combs that exploits the unknown process iteratively with additional classical postprocessing to s…

Quantum entanglement plays a pivotal role in various quantum information processing tasks. However, a universal and effective way to detect entanglement structures is still lacking, especially for high-dimensional and multipartite quantum systems. Noticing the mathematical similarities between the c…

Quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) have gathered attention as one of the most promising algorithms for quantum machine learning. Reduction in the cost of training as well as improvement in performance are required for practical implementation of these models. In this study, we propose a c…

The preparation of an equilibrium thermal state of a quantum many-body system on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices is an important task in order to extend the range of applications of quantum computation. Faithful Gibbs state preparation would pave the way to investigate protocols such…

We examine the emergence of dynamical memory effects in quantum processes having indefinite time direction and causal order. In particular, we focus on the class of phase-covariant qubit channels, which encompasses some of the most significant paradigmatic open quantum system models. In order to ass…

An external periodic (Floquet) drive is believed to bring any initial state to the featureless infinite temperature state in generic nonintegrable isolated quantum many-body systems in the thermodynamic limit, irrespective of the driving frequency Ω. However, numerical or analytical evidence either …

We introduce twisted unitary t-groups, a generalization of unitary t-groups under a twisting by an irreducible representation. We then apply representation theoretic methods to the Knill-Laflamme error correction conditions to show that twisted unitary t-groups automatically correspond to quantum co…

Self-testing protocols refer to novel device-independent certification schemes wherein the devices are uncharacterized and the dimension of the system remains unspecified. The optimal quantum violation of Bell's inequality facilitates such self-testing. In this work we put forth a protocol for self-…

The energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries (QB). In this context, one of the main figures of merit is the ergotropy, which measures the maximal amount of energy (as work) that can be extracted from the quantum source by means of …

An interesting problem in the field of quantum error correction involves finding a physical system that hosts a “passively protected quantum memory,” defined as an encoded qubit coupled to an environment that naturally wants to correct errors. To date, a quantum memory stable against finite-temperat…

Multistability is experimentally observed in a variety of quantum systems but cannot be derived from any theoretical model that is based on a monostable master equation. The author investigates the relation between disentanglement and multistability in the few-spin transverse Ising model and finds that multistability can be obtained in the presence of spontaneous disentanglement.

We use symmetric measurement operators to construct quantum channels that provide a further generalization of generalized Pauli channels. The resulting maps are bistochastic but, in general, no longer mixed unitary. We analyze their important properties, such as complete positivity and the ability t…

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…

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.
