Perfect Quantum Teleportation in Memory Amplitude-Damping Channels Based on Pre-flipping and Environment-Assisted Measurement

May 19, 2026Shiye Zhang, Sajede Harraz, Sen Kuang, Shuang CongEarly Access, Open AccessDamping, Electro-absorption modulators, Measurement, Memory, Noise, Probability, Protocols, Quantum communication, Qubit, Teleportation

Abstract: Most existing quantum teleportation schemes do not consider the memory effect of noise, which is becoming increasingly serious in practical quantum communication. In this paper, we propose two quantum teleportation protocols for noisy memory channels: one based on pre-flipping (PF) and another incorporating pre-flipping with environment-assisted measurement (PF-EAM). In the PF protocol, a pre-flipping […]

Extrapolating Pauli Checks for Expectation Value Estimation on Noisy Quantum Devices

May 13, 2026Quinn Langfitt, Ji Liu, Benchen Huang, Alvin Gonzales, Kaitlin N. Smith, Nikos Hardavellas, Zain H. SaleemEarly Access, Open AccessCircuits, Error analysis, Estimation, Extrapolation, Limiting, Measurement, Modeling, Noise, Qubit, Shadow mapping

Abstract: Pauli Check Sandwiching (PCS) is an error detection scheme that protects quantum circuits by inserting pairs of parity checks and discarding runs that signal errors. However, each additional check introduces noise and exponentially increases sampling costs. To address these limitations, we propose Pauli Check Extrapolation (PCE), an error mitigation technique that obtains measured expectation […]

Abstract: State preparation and block encoding are essential subroutines in quantum computing. The former provides basic encoding of quantum states, while the latter transforms classical data into a matrix representation within a quantum circuit. Some quantum advantages are built on the assumption that the block-encoding subroutine has been compiled in the quantum circuit, and this […]

Convexification of the Quantum Network Utility Maximization Problem

December 30, 2024Sounak Kar, Stephanie WehnerQuantum InternetMeasurement, Optimization, Quality of service, Quantum networks, Repeaters, Resource management, Routing protocols, Sufficient conditions, Topology, Vectors

Network utility maximization (NUM) addresses the problem of allocating resources fairly within a network and explores the ways to achieve optimal allocation in real-world networks. Although extensively studied in classical networks, NUM is an emerging area of research in the context of quantum networks. In this work, we consider the quantum network utility maximization (QNUM) […]

On the Logical Error Rate of Sparse Quantum Codes

November 2, 2022Patricio FuentesOpen Access, Quantum InformationCodes, Decoding, Error analysis, Generators, Measurement, Qubit, Tensors

The quantum paradigm presents a phenomenon known as degeneracy that can potentially improve the performance of quantum error correcting codes. However, the effects of this mechanism are sometimes ignored when evaluating the performance of sparse quantum codes and the logical error rate is not always correctly reported. In this article, we discuss previously existing methods […]

Quantum Kernels for Real-World Predictions Based on Electronic Health Records

November 2, 2022Zoran KrunicOpen Access, Quantum SoftwareKernel, Licenses, Machine learning, Measurement, Quantum computing, Support vector machines, Training

Research on near-term quantum machine learning has explored how classical machine learning algorithms endowed with access to quantum kernels (similarity measures) can outperform their purely classical counterparts. Although theoretical work has shown a provable advantage on synthetic data sets, no work done to date has studied empirically whether the quantum advantage is attainable and with […]

Quantum Volume in Practice: What Users Can Expect From NISQ Devices

November 2, 2022Elijah PelofskeOpen Access, Quantum ComputingBenchmark testing, Computers, Error analysis, Logic gates, Measurement, Optimization, Qubit

Quantum volume (QV) has become the de-facto standard benchmark to quantify the capability of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. While QV values are often reported by NISQ providers for their systems, we perform our own series of QV calculations on 24 NISQ devices currently offered by IBM Q, IonQ, Rigetti, Oxford Quantum Circuits, and Quantinuum […]
