Boosting Information Reconciliation for Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution Over a Satellite Downlink Channel

Abstract: Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a cryptographic solution that leverages the properties of quantum mechanics to be resistant and secure even against an attacker with unlimited computational power. Satellite-based links are important in QKD because they can reach distances that the best fiber systems cannot. However, links between satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) […]

Matrix Low-dimensional Qubit Casting Based Quantum Electromagnetic Transient Network Simulation Program

Abstract: In modern power systems, the integration of converter-interfaced generations requires the development of electromagnetic transient network simulation programs (EMTP) that can capture rapid fluctuations. However, as the power system scales, the EMTP’s computing complexity increases exponentially, leading to a curse of dimensionality that hinders its practical application. Facing this challenge, quantum computing offers a […]

DAG-Aware Gate Fusion for Efficient State-Vector Quantum Circuit Simulation

Abstract: Classical simulation remains a practical foundation for developing and evaluating quantum circuits, and state-vector methods are still among the most important exact simulation techniques. In this setting, gate fusion is a widely used optimization that combines multiple gates into a larger operator to reduce repeated state-vector traversal and improve execution efficiency. However, existing fusion […]
