Proposal for a minimal surface code experiment
James R. Wootton, Andreas Peter, J. R. Winkler +1 more·Aug 17, 2016
Current quantum technology is approaching the system sizes and fidelities required for quantum error correction. It is therefore important to determine exactly what is needed for proof-of-principle experiments, which will be a major step towards faul...
High-fidelity entangling gate for double-quantum-dot spin qubits
J. Nichol, L. Orona, S. Harvey +4 more·Aug 15, 2016
Electron spins in semiconductors are promising qubits because their long coherence times enable nearly 109 coherent quantum gate operations. However, developing a scalable high-fidelity two-qubit gate remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate an enta...
Hyper-parallel Toffoli gate on three-photon system with two degrees of freedom assisted by single-sided optical microcavities.
Hai‐Rui Wei, Fuguo Deng, G. Long·Aug 8, 2016
Encoding qubits in multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a quantum system allows less-decoherence quantum information processing with much less quantum resources. We present a compact and scalable quantum circuit to determinately implement a hyper-pa...
A computational workflow for designing silicon donor qubits
T. Humble, M. Ericson, J. Jakowski +6 more·Aug 4, 2016
Developing devices that can reliably and accurately demonstrate the principles of superposition and entanglement is an on-going challenge for the quantum computing community. Modeling and simulation offer attractive means of testing early device desi...
Characterizing quantum supremacy in near-term devices
S. Boixo, S. Isakov, V. Smelyanskiy +6 more·Jul 31, 2016
A critical question for quantum computing in the near future is whether quantum devices without error correction can perform a well-defined computational task beyond the capabilities of supercomputers. Such a demonstration of what is referred to as q...
Benchmarking of dynamically corrected gates for the exchange-only spin qubit in a 1 /f noise environment
Chengxian Zhang, Xu-Chen Yang, Xin Wang·Jul 27, 2016
We study theoretically the responses of the dynamically corrected gates to time-dependent noises in the exchange-only spin qubit system. We consider $1/f$ noises having spectra proportional to $1/\omega^\alpha$, where the exponent $\alpha$ indicates ...
Modular Quantum Information Processing by Dissipation
Jeffrey Marshall, L. Venuti, P. Zanardi·Jul 12, 2016
Dissipation can be used as a resource to control and simulate quantum systems. We discuss a modular model based on fast dissipation capable of performing universal quantum computation, and simulating arbitrary Lindbladian dynamics. The model consists...
Surface code error correction on a defective lattice
Shota Nagayama, A. Fowler, D. Horsman +2 more·Jul 3, 2016
The yield of physical qubits fabricated in the laboratory is much lower than that of classical transistors in production semiconductor fabrication. Actual implementations of quantum computers will be susceptible to loss in the form of physically faul...
Parallelizing quantum circuit synthesis
O. D. Matteo, M. Mosca·Jun 23, 2016
Quantum circuit synthesis is the process in which an arbitrary unitary operation is decomposed into a sequence of gates from a universal set, typically one which a quantum computer can implement both efficiently and fault-tolerantly. As physical impl...
Measurement-only verifiable blind quantum computing with quantum input verification
T. Morimae·Jun 21, 2016
Verifiable blind quantum computing is a secure delegated quantum computing where a client with a limited quantum technology delegates her quantum computing to a server who has a universal quantum computer. The client's privacy is protected (blindness...
Coherence Preservation of a Single Neutral Atom Qubit Transferred between Magic-Intensity Optical Traps.
Jiaheng Yang, Xiaodong He, R. Guo +7 more·Jun 17, 2016
We demonstrate that the coherence of a single mobile atomic qubit can be well preserved during a transfer process among different optical dipole traps (ODTs). This is a prerequisite step in realizing a large-scale neutral atom quantum information pro...

A unified framework for magic state distillation and multi-qubit gate-synthesis with reduced resource cost
Earl T. Campbell, Mark Howard·Jun 6, 2016
The standard approach to fault-tolerant quantum computation is to store information in a quantum error correction code, such as the surface code, and process information using a strategy that can be summarized as distill-then-synthesize. In the disti...
Theory of single and two-qubit operations with donor-bound electron spins in germanium
G. Pica, B. Lovett·May 25, 2016
The possibility of quantum computing with spins in germanium nanoscale transistors has recently attracted interest since it promises highly tuneable qubits that have encouraging coherence times. We here present the first complete theory of the orbita...
Optimizing Teleportation Cost in Distributed Quantum Circuits
Mariam Zomorodi-Moghadam, M. Houshmand, M. Houshmand·May 25, 2016
The presented work provides a procedure for optimizing the communication cost of a distributed quantum circuit (DQC) in terms of the number of qubit teleportations. Because of technology limitations which do not allow large quantum computers to work ...
Randomized benchmarking in measurement-based quantum computing
R. N. Alexander, P. Turner, S. Bartlett·May 25, 2016
Randomized benchmarking is routinely used as an efficient method for characterizing the performance of sets of elementary logic gates in small quantum devices. In the measurement-based model of quantum computation, logic gates are implemented via sin...
Clean Quantum and Classical Communication Protocols.
H. Buhrman, Matthias Christandl, Christopher Perry +1 more·May 25, 2016
By how much must the communication complexity of a function increase if we demand that the parties not only correctly compute the function but also return all registers (other than the one containing the answer) to their initial states at the end of ...
Nonuniform code concatenation for universal fault-tolerant quantum computing
E. Nikahd, M. Sedighi, M. S. Zamani·May 23, 2016
Using transversal gates is a straightforward and efficient technique for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Since transversal gates alone cannot be computationally universal, they must be combined with other approaches such as magic state distillation...
Fault-tolerant preparation of stabilizer states for quantum Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes by classical error-correcting codes
C. Lai, Yicong Zheng, T. Brun·May 18, 2016
Stabilizer states are extensively studied in quantum information theory for their structures based on the Pauli group. Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) stabilizer states are of particular importance in their application to fault-tolerant quantum computat...
A photon–photon quantum gate based on a single atom in an optical resonator
B. Hacker, S. Welte, G. Rempe +1 more·May 17, 2016
That two photons pass each other undisturbed in free space is ideal for the faithful transmission of information, but prohibits an interaction between the photons. Such an interaction is, however, required for a plethora of applications in optical qu...
