Topological Quantum Compilation Using Mixed-Integer Programming

Abstract: Quantum computation offers the potential to solve certain problems with substantial speed advantages over classical computing, but its practical realization is hindered by significant challenges associated with error propagation and decoherence. Topological quantum computing addresses these issues by encoding qubits in particular two-dimensional topological condensed matter systems, effectively described by topological quantum field theories, […]

Detection Error Probability Analysis over Atmospheric Quantum Channels with Pointing Errors: A Physically Admissible Bounded Transmissivity Framework

Abstract: We develop an exact error probability framework for quantum free space optics (FSO) communication over atmospheric channels with turbulence and pointing errors under a physically admissible bounded transmissivity model. The proposed framework is grounded in the fundamental physical observation that, in a quantum optical channel, the random channel quantity is the transmissivity itself, namely, […]
