Learning Circular Hidden Quantum Markov Models: A Tensor Network Approach

This article proposes circular hidden quantum Markov models (c-HQMMs), which can be applied for modeling temporal data. We show that c-HQMMs are equivalent to a tensor network (more precisely, circular local purified state) model. This equivalence enables us to provide an efficient learning model for c-HQMMs. The proposed learning approach is evaluated on six real […]

Extensible Gauge-Invariant FDM With Spin–Orbit Coupling for Quantum Devices

We present a novel derivation and implementation of the finite-difference method (FDM) that is gauge invariant and incorporates spin–orbit coupling for the study of quantum systems. This version of FDM is meant to assist in the design and simulation of quantum devices that utilize multiple internal degrees of freedom (e.g., spin) by providing a way […]

Model-Predictive Quantum Control via Hamiltonian Learning

This article proposes an end-to-end framework for the learning-enabled control of closed quantum systems. The proposed learning technique is the first of its kind to utilize a hierarchical design, which layers probing control, quantum state tomography, quantum process tomography, and Hamiltonian learning to identify both the internal and control Hamiltonians. Within this context, a novel […]

Simultaneous Estimation of Parameters and the State of an Optical Parametric Oscillator System

In this article, we consider the filtering problem of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO pump power may fluctuate due to environmental disturbances, resulting in uncertainty in the system modeling. Thus, both the state and the unknown parameter may need to be estimated simultaneously. We formulate this problem using a state-space representation of the […]

Versatile and Concurrent FPGA-Based Architecture for Practical Quantum Communication Systems

This article presents a hardware and software architecture, which can be used in those systems that implement practical quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum random-number generation (QRNG) schemes. This architecture fully exploits the capability of a System on a Chip (SoC), which comprehends both a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and a dual-core CPU unit. By […]

Identification of Time-Varying Decoherence Rates for Open Quantum Systems

Parameter identification of quantum systems is a fundamental task in developing practical quantum technology. In this article, we study the identification of time-varying decoherence rates for open quantum systems. Given the measurement data of local observables, this can be formulated as an optimization problem. We expand the unknown decoherence rates into Fourier series and take […]

Fp -Linear and Fpm-Linear Qudit Codes From Dual-Containing Classical Codes

Quantum code construction from two classical codes D1[n,k1,d1] and D2[n,k2,d2] over the field Fpm ( p is prime and m is an integer) satisfying the dual containing criteria D⊥1⊂D2 using the Calderbank–Shor–Steane (CSS) framework is well-studied. We show that the generalization of the CSS framework for qubits to qudits yields two different classes of codes, namely, the Fp -linear CSS codes and the well-known Fpm -linear CSS codes based on the […]

One-Dimensional Lazy Quantum Walk in Ternary System

Quantum walks play an important role for developing quantum algorithms and quantum simulations. Here, we introduce a first of its kind one-dimensional lazy quantum walk in the ternary quantum domain and show its equivalence for circuit realization in ternary quantum logic. Using an appropriate logical mapping of the position space on which a walker evolves […]
