Quantum Algorithms for the Most Frequently String Search, Intersection of Two String Sequences and Sorting of Strings Problems
K. Khadiev, Artem Ilikaev·Dec 9, 2019
We study algorithms for solving three problems on strings. The first one is the Most Frequently String Search Problem. The problem is the following. Assume that we have a sequence of n strings of length k. The problem is finding the string that occur...
Coherence in logical quantum channels
Joseph K. Iverson, J. Preskill·Dec 9, 2019
We study the effectiveness of quantum error correction against coherent noise. Coherent errors (for example, unitary noise) can interfere constructively, so that in some cases the average infidelity of a quantum circuit subjected to coherent errors m...
Local quantum uncertainty for multipartite quantum systems
Mazhar N. Ali·Dec 9, 2019
Local quantum uncertainty captures purely quantum correlations excluding their classical counterpart. This measure is quantum discord type, however with the advantage that there is no need to carry out the complicated optimization procedure over meas...
Grover Adaptive Search for Constrained Polynomial Binary Optimization
Austin Gilliam, Stefan Woerner, Constantin Gonciulea·Dec 9, 2019
In this paper we discuss Grover Adaptive Search (GAS) for Constrained Polynomial Binary Optimization (CPBO) problems, and in particular, Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems, as a special case. GAS can provide a quadratic speed...
Highly Transparent Contacts to the 1D Hole Gas in Ultra-Scaled Ge/Si Core/Shell Nanowires.
M. Sistani, Jovian Delaforce, R. Kramer +10 more·Dec 9, 2019
Semiconductor-superconductor hybrid systems have outstanding potential for emerging high performance nanoelectronics and quantum devices. However, critical to their successful application is the fabrication of high quality and reproducible semiconduc...
Combating quasiparticle poisoning with multiple Majorana fermions in a periodically-driven quantum wire
R. W. Bomantara, J. Gong·Dec 9, 2019
Quasiparticle poisoning has remained one of the main challenges in the implementation of Majorana-based quantum computing. It inevitably occurs when the system hosting Majorana qubits is not completely isolated from its surrounding, thus considerably...
Measurement-induced steering of quantum systems
Sthitadhi Roy, J. Chalker, I. Gornyi +2 more·Dec 9, 2019
We set out a general protocol for steering the state of a quantum system from an arbitrary initial state towards a chosen target state by coupling it to auxiliary quantum degrees of freedom. The protocol requires multiple repetitions of an elementary...
Implementation of the XY interaction family with calibration of a single pulse
D. Abrams, N. Didier, Blake R. Johnson +2 more·Dec 9, 2019
Near-term applications of quantum information processors will rely on optimized circuit implementations to minimize gate depth and therefore mitigate the impact of gate errors in noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers. More expressive gate...
Learning Non-Markovian Quantum Noise from Moiré-Enhanced Swap Spectroscopy with Deep Evolutionary Algorithm
M. Niu, Vadim N. Smelyanskyi, P. Klimov +30 more·Dec 9, 2019
Two-level-system (TLS) defects in amorphous dielectrics are a major source of noise and decoherence in solid-state qubits. Gate-dependent non-Markovian errors caused by TLS-qubit coupling are detrimental to fault-tolerant quantum computation and have...
Quantum Attacks without Superposition Queries: the Offline Simon Algorithm
X. Bonnetain, Akinori Hosoyamada, M. Naya-Plasencia +2 more·Dec 8, 2019
In symmetric cryptanalysis, the model of superposition queries has led to surprising results, with many constructions being broken in polynomial time thanks to Simon's period-finding algorithm. But the practical implications of these attacks remain b...
Linear multi-particle, multi-port interferometers and their matrix representations
Bülent Demirel·Dec 8, 2019
Interferences in multi-path systems for single and multiple particles are theoretically analyzed. A holistic method is presented, which allows to construct the unitary transition matrix describing interferometers for any port number d and particle nu...
Initial states for quantum field simulations in phase space
P. Drummond, B. Opanchuk·Dec 8, 2019
Bosonic quantum fields can be simulated with `quantum software' in phase-space. The positive-P, Wigner and Q-function phase-space methods are reviewed. Initial quantum states and boundaries for infinite domains are considered in detail. The quantum i...
Characterization of exact one-query quantum algorithms
Weijian Chen, Zekun Ye, Lvzhou Li·Dec 7, 2019
The quantum query models is one of the most important models in quantum computing. Several well-known quantum algorithms are captured by this model, including the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, the Simon algorithm, the Grover algorithm and others. In this ...
Unitary-coupled restricted Boltzmann machine ansatz for quantum simulations
Chang-Yu Hsieh, Qiming Sun, Shengyu Zhang +1 more·Dec 6, 2019
Neural-network quantum state (NQS) has attracted significant interests as a powerful wave-function ansatz to model quantum phenomena. In particular, a variant of NQS based on the restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) has been adapted to model the ground...
Continuous Variables Graph States Shaped as Complex Networks: Optimization and Manipulation
F. Sansavini, V. Parigi·Dec 6, 2019
Complex networks structures have been extensively used for describing complex natural and technological systems, like the Internet or social networks. More recently, complex network theory has been applied to quantum systems, where complex network to...
Generation of n -qubit W states using spin torque
Amritesh Sharma, A. Tulapurkar·Dec 6, 2019
We examine here a scheme to generate a W state of an n-qubit system with all-to-all pairwise exchange interaction between n qubits. This relies on sharing of superposed excitations of a smaller number of $q$ qubits among others. We present a bound on...

Renato Durrer, B. Kratochwil, J. Koski +5 more·Dec 5, 2019
While quantum dots are at the forefront of quantum device technology, tuning multi-dot systems requires a lengthy experimental process as multiple parameters need to be accurately controlled. This process becomes increasingly time-consuming and diffi...
