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…

In this study we engineer the z component of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction mediated by photons to emulate ground-state chiral excitation based on three-level atoms driven by quantum and classical fields. We employ adiabatic elimination techniques to derive an effective Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya …

Storage of energy in quantum devices is of practical relevance for applications in quantum technologies. The topic attracts attention also of a more foundational character due to the possibility that the charging power and work extraction can benefit from quantum coherence and collective effects. This Colloquium reviews theoretical concepts and experimental implementations of energy storage in quantum batteries drawing on work in quantum thermodynamics and quantum information science.

Quantum synchronization is crucial for understanding complex dynamics and holds potential applications in quantum computing and communication. Therefore, assessing the thermodynamic resources required for finite-time synchronization in continuous-variable systems is a critical challenge. In the pres…

The vacuum beam guide (VBG) presents a completely different solution for quantum channels to overcome the limitations of existing fiber and satellite technologies for long-distance quantum communication. With an array of aligned lenses spaced kilometers apart, the VBG offers ultrahigh transparency o…

The entropic uncertainty relation imposes a limit on the accuracy of measurement outcomes of two conjugate observables, which can be reduced in the presence of quantum memory. We theoretically study the dynamical behaviors of the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty relation for a bipartite …

A quantum algorithm for solving the advection equation by embedding the discrete time-marching operator into Hamiltonian simulations is presented. One-dimensional advection can be simulated directly since the central finite-difference operator for first-order derivatives is anti-Hermitian. Here this…

Continuous variable quantum teleportation provides a path to the long-distance transmission of quantum states. Photon-varying non-Gaussian operations have been shown to improve the fidelity of quantum teleportation when integrated into the protocol. However, for a given type of non-Gaussian operatio…

Nonadiabatic holonomic operations are based on nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases, hence possessing the inherent geometric features for robustness against control errors. However, nonadiabatic holonomic operations are still sensitive to the systematic amplitude error induced by imperfect cont…

This paper presents a computational analysis of a superconducting transmon qubit design, in which the superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) Josephson junction is replaced by a coplanar, superconductor-constriction-superconductor (ScS) nanobridge junction. Within the scope of Ginzburg-Landau …

Variational quantum algorithms have become the de facto model for current quantum computations. A prominent example of such algorithms—the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA)—was originally designed for combinatorial optimization tasks, but has been shown to be successful for a variety…

A central challenge in the verification of quantum computers is benchmarking their performance as a whole and demonstrating their computational capabilities. In this Letter, we find a universal model of quantum computation, Bell sampling, that can be used for both of those tasks and thus provides an…

Quantum states possess an intrinsic form of randomness, inaccessible even to an all-powerful eavesdropper. The authors find concise mathematical expressions for the maximal intrinsic randomness that can be extracted from any quantum state, as quantified by the conditional min-, von Neumann and max-entropies. They also characterize the optimal (and inequivalent) measurements in each case.

Quantum error correction is a key challenge for the development of practical quantum computers, a direction in which significant experimental progress has been made in recent years. In solid-state qubits, one of the leading information loss mechanisms is dephasing, usually modeled by phase-flip erro…

Quantum steering is considered one of the most well-known nonlocal phenomena in quantum mechanics. Unlike entanglement and Bell nonlocality, the asymmetry of quantum steering makes it vital for one-sided device-independent quantum information processing. Although there has been much progress on stee…

When storing encoded qubits, if single faults can be corrected and double faults can be postselected against, logical errors occur due to at least three faults. At current noise rates, having to restart when two errors are detected prevents very long-term storage, but that should not be an issue for…

The method of quantum Lanczos recursion is extended to solve for multiple excitations on the quantum computer. While quantum Lanczos recursion is, in principle, capable of obtaining excitations, the extension to a block Lanczos routine can resolve degeneracies with better precision and only costs O(…
