Particles with exotic statistics serve as an important testbed for quantum information protocols and help us better understand the properties of the more naturally occurring bosons and fermions. The authors investigate the separability of a class of exotic particles known as fermionic anyons, establishing a connection between their capabilities as an architecture for quantum computation and their link with bosonic and fermionic quantum computer setups.

We consider two memory nodes of a quantum network connected by flying qubits. We are particularly interested in the case where a flying qubit produced by one node has to be transformed before it can interface efficiently with the next node. Such transformations can be utilized as a key part of the d…

The authors present a geometric picture for tripartite entanglement that is valid for discrete, continuous, and even hybrid quantum systems. They further show that the triangle area, enclosed by any tripartite state, is a faithful measure for genuine tripartite entanglement.

Entanglement swapping, which establishes entanglement between two independent and distant entangled states, is a key element of a quantum repeater in an entanglement-based quantum network. In continuous-variable (CV) entanglement swapping, it is essential to enhance the entanglement of entanglement …

Self-testing of quantum correlations is an important problem in quantum information theory, and the task becomes more challenging in multipartite scenarios. In this context, the authors provide a network-assistance-free self-testing scheme for genuine multipartite entangled states by employing a generalized Hardy-type nonlocality argument and exploring its device-independent bound of the maximum probability of success.

It is well known that the set of statistics that can be observed in a Bell-type experiment is limited by quantum theory. Unfortunately, tools are missing to identify the precise boundary of this set. Here, we propose to study the set of quantum statistics from a dual perspective. By considering all …

In the realm of fault-tolerant quantum computing, stabilizer operations play a pivotal role, characterized by their remarkable efficiency in classical simulation. This efficiency sets them apart from nonstabilizer operations within the quantum computational theory. In this Letter, we investigate the…

Digital quantum simulation relies on Trotterization to discretize time evolution into elementary quantum gates. On current quantum processors with notable gate imperfections, there is a critical trade-off between improved accuracy for finer time steps, and increased error rate on account of the larg…

There is a prevalent effort to achieve quantum-enhanced metrology using criticality. However, the extent to which estimation precision is enhanced through criticality still needs further exploration under the constraint of finite time resources. We clarify relations between quantum metrology and cri…

Nonstabilizerness, also known as “magic,” stands as a crucial resource for achieving a potential advantage in quantum computing. Its connection to many-body physical phenomena is poorly understood at present, mostly due to a lack of practical methods to compute it at large scales. We present a novel…

We present a novel classical algorithm designed to learn the stabilizer group—namely, the group of Pauli strings for which a state is a ±1 eigenvector—of a given matrix product state (MPS). The algorithm is based on a clever and theoretically grounded biased sampling in the Pauli (or Bell) basis. It…
