A theory of single-shot error correction for adversarial noise
E. Campbell·May 23, 2018
Single-shot error correction is a technique for correcting physical errors using only a single round of noisy check measurements, such that any residual noise affects a small number of qubits. We propose a general theory of single-shot error correcti...
Quantum Error Correction Decoheres Noise.
Stefanie J. Beale, Joel J. Wallman, Mauricio Gutiérrez +2 more·May 22, 2018
Typical studies of quantum error correction assume probabilistic Pauli noise, largely because it is relatively easy to analyze and simulate. Consequently, the effective logical noise due to physically realistic coherent errors is relatively unknown. ...
Quantum probe of an on-chip broadband interferometer for quantum microwave photonics
P. Eder, T. Ramos, J. Goetz +11 more·May 22, 2018
Quantum microwave photonics aims at generating, routing, and manipulating propagating quantum microwave fields in the spirit of optical photonics. To this end, the strong nonlinearities of superconducting quantum circuits can be used to either improv...
Quantum classification of the MNIST dataset via Slow Feature Analysis
Iordanis Kerenidis, Alessandro Luongo·May 22, 2018
Quantum machine learning carries the promise to revolutionize information and communication technologies. While a number of quantum algorithms with potential exponential speedups have been proposed already, it is quite difficult to provide convincing...
Performance of quantum error correction with coherent errors
E. Huang, A. Doherty, S. Flammia·May 21, 2018
We compare the performance of quantum error correcting codes when memory errors are unitary with the more familiar case of dephasing noise. For a wide range of codes we analytically compute the effective logical channel that results when the error co...
Variational Quantum Computation of Excited States
O. Higgott, Daochen Wang, S. Brierley·May 21, 2018
The calculation of excited state energies of electronic structure Hamiltonians has many important applications, such as the calculation of optical spectra and reaction rates. While low-depth quantum algorithms, such as the variational quantum eigenva...
Complete characterization of the directly implementable quantum gates used in the IBM quantum processors
A. Shukla, M. Sisodia, A. Pathak·May 18, 2018
Quantum process tomography of each directly implementable quantum gate used in the IBM quantum processors is performed to compute gate error in order to check viability of complex quantum operations in the superconductivity-based quantum computers in...
Kolmogorov complexity of sequences of random numbers generated in Bell's experiments
M. Kovalsky, A. Hnilo, M'onica B. Aguero·May 18, 2018
Quantum systems are the ultimate touchstone for the production of random sequences of numbers. Spatially spread entangled systems allow the generation of identical random sequences in remote locations. The impossibility of observing a quantum system,...
Towards Large-scale Functional Verification of Universal Quantum Circuits
M. Amy·May 17, 2018
We introduce a framework for the formal specification and verification of quantum circuits based on the Feynman path integral. Our formalism, built around exponential sums of polynomial functions, provides a structured and natural way of specifying q...
Quantum Zeno effect: A possible resolution to the leakage problem in superconducting quantum computing architectures.
Andrei Galiautdinov·May 17, 2018
We propose to use the continuous version of the quantum Zeno effect to eliminate leakage to higher energy states in superconducting quantum computing architectures based on Josephson phase and flux qubits. We are particularly interested in the applic...
Image Classification Based on Quantum KNN Algorithm
Yijie Dang, Nan Jiang, Hao Hu +2 more·May 16, 2018
Image classification is an important task in the field of machine learning and image processing. However, the usually used classification method --- the K Nearest-Neighbor algorithm has high complexity, because its two main processes: similarity comp...
Quantum Adiabatic Evolution for Global Optimization in Big Data
Sahil Imtiyaz·May 16, 2018
Big Data is characterized by Volume, Velocity, Veracity and Complexity. The interaction between this huge data is complex with an associated free will having dynamic and non linear nature. We reduced big data based on its characteristics, conceptuall...

Xiao-tong Yu, Qi Zhang, Y. Ban +1 more·May 16, 2018
Rapid preparation, manipulation, and correction of spin states with high fidelity are requisite for quantum information processing and quantum computing. In this paper, we propose a fast and robust approach for controlling two spins with Heisenberg a...
Local equivalence of complete bipartite and repeater graph states
I. Tzitrin·May 15, 2018
Classifying locally equivalent graph states, and stabilizer states more broadly, is a significant problem in the theories of quantum information and multipartite entanglement. A special focus is given to those graph states for which equivalence throu...
Time–space complexity of quantum search algorithms in symmetric cryptanalysis: applying to AES and SHA-2
Panjin Kim, Daewan Han, K. Jeong·May 15, 2018
Performance of cryptanalytic quantum search algorithms is mainly inferred from query complexity which hides overhead induced by an implementation. To shed light on quantitative complexity analysis removing hidden factors, we provide a framework for e...
Optimization and synchronization of programmable quantum communication channels
Mee Seong Im, Venkateswara Dasari·May 15, 2018
Quantum applications transmit and receive data through quantum and classical communication channels. Channel capacity, the distance and the photon path between transmitting and receiving parties and the speed of the computation links play an essentia...
Measurement-based quantum control of mechanical motion
M. Rossi, D. Mason, Junxin Chen +2 more·May 14, 2018
Controlling a quantum system by using observations of its dynamics is complicated by the backaction of the measurement process—that is, the unavoidable quantum disturbance caused by coupling the system to a measurement apparatus. An efficient measure...
How many qubits are needed for quantum computational supremacy?
A. Dalzell, A. Harrow, Dax Enshan Koh +1 more·May 14, 2018
Quantum computational supremacy arguments, which describe a way for a quantum computer to perform a task that cannot also be done by a classical computer, typically require some sort of computational assumption related to the limitations of classical...
