Analog circuits have emerged as a valuable quantum emulation and simulation platform. Specifically, they have been experimentally shown to excel in emulating coherent state vector dynamics and motifs of quantum circuits, such as the quantum Fourier transform, tensor product superpositions, two-level systems such as Josephson junctions, and nuclear magnetic resonance state dynamics, all on a […]
Building large-scale quantum computers, essential to demonstrating quantum advantage, is a key challenge. Quantum networks can help address this challenge by enabling the construction of large, robust, and more capable quantum computing platforms by connecting smaller quantum computers. Moreover, unlike classical systems, quantum networks can enable fully secured long-distance communication. Thus, quantum networks lie at […]
Single-photon detectors are essential for implementing optical quantum technologies, such as quantum key distribution, and for enhancing optical imaging systems such as lidar, while also playing a crucial role in studying the statistical properties of light. In this work, we show how the underlying photon statistics can be revealed by using a threshold detector, implemented […]
One of the primary difficulties in computed tomography (CT) is reconstructing cross-sectional images from measured projections of a physical object. There exist several classical methods for this task of generating a digital representation of the object, including filtered backprojection or simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique. Our research aims to explore the potential of quantum computing in […]
Quantum search algorithms, such as Grover’s algorithm, are anticipated to efficiently solve constrained combinatorial optimization problems. However, applying these algorithms to the traveling salesman problem (TSP) on a quantum circuit presents a significant challenge. Existing quantum search algorithms for the TSP typically assume that an initial state—an equal superposition of all feasible solutions satisfying the […]
We assess the convergence of the Carleman linearization of advection–diffusion–reaction (ADR) equations with a logistic nonlinearity. It is shown that five Carleman iterates provide a satisfactory approximation of the original ADR across a broad range of parameters and strength of nonlinearity. To assess the feasibility of a quantum algorithm based on this linearization, we analyze […]
The combination of quantum and telecommunication networks enables to revolutionize the way information is used, offering unparalleled capabilities and making it an ideal choice for many critical applications. In this sense, quantum protocols generally have a unique requirement to have strict time synchronization in order to operate, which generally consume quantum resources of part of […]
In silicon quantum computers, a single electron is trapped in a microstructure called a quantum dot, and its spin is used as a qubit. For large-scale integration of qubits, we previously proposed an approach of sharing a control gate in the row or column of a 2-D quantum dot array. In our array, the shuttling […]
Quantum-enhanced machine learning is a rapidly evolving field that aims to leverage the unique properties of quantum mechanics to enhance classical machine learning. However, the practical applicability of these methods remains an open question, particularly beyond the context of specifically crafted toy problems, and given the current limitations of quantum hardware. For more about this […]
Entanglement routing in near-term quantum networks consists of choosing the optimal sequence of short-range entanglements to combine through swapping operations to establish end-to-end entanglement between two distant nodes. Similar to traditional routing technologies, a quantum routing protocol uses network information to choose the best paths to satisfy a set of end-to-end entanglement requests. However, in […]
