Fault-Tolerant Continuous-Variable Measurement-based Quantum Computation Architecture
M. V. Larsen, C. Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh +2 more·Jan 8, 2021
Continuous variable measurement-based quantum computation on cluster states has in recent years shown great potential for scalable, universal, and fault-tolerant quantum computation when combined with the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code and quan...
Radio frequency mixing modules for superconducting qubit room temperature control systems.
Yilun Xu, Gang-Ming Huang, D. Santiago +1 more·Dec 31, 2020
As the number of qubits in nascent quantum processing units increases, the connectorized RF (radio frequency) analog circuits used in first generation experiments become exceedingly complex. The physical size, cost, and electrical failure rate all be...
Multipartite high-dimensional entangled state generation through soliton-induced dynamical Casimir effect on a chip
A. E. Dorche, A. Adibi·Dec 22, 2020
An integrated photonic approach for complex quantum state generation through dynamical Casimir effect (DCE) is demonstrated. This approach provides a scheme to realize multipartite high-dimensional entangled states in the microwave (MW) and terahertz...
Application of quantum machine learning using the quantum variational classifier method to high energy physics analysis at the LHC on IBM quantum computer simulator and hardware with 10 qubits
S. Wu, J. Chan, W. Guan +12 more·Dec 21, 2020
One of the major objectives of the experimental programs at the LHC is the discovery of new physics. This requires the identification of rare signals in immense backgrounds. Using machine learning algorithms greatly enhances our ability to achieve th...
Quantum reinforcement learning in continuous action space
Shaojun Wu, Shan Jin, Dingding Wen +1 more·Dec 19, 2020
Quantum reinforcement learning (QRL) is a promising paradigm for near-term quantum devices. While existing QRL methods have shown success in discrete action spaces, extending these techniques to continuous domains is challenging due to the curse of d...
Compiler Design for Distributed Quantum Computing
Davide Ferrari, A. Cacciapuoti, M. Amoretti +1 more·Dec 17, 2020
In distributed quantum computing architectures, with the network and communications functionalities provided by the Quantum Internet, remote quantum processing units can communicate and cooperate for executing computational tasks that single, noisy, ...
Programmable Quantum Annealers as Noisy Gibbs Samplers
Marc Vuffray, Carleton Coffrin, Y. Kharkov +1 more·Dec 16, 2020
Drawing independent samples from high-dimensional probability distributions represents the major computational bottleneck for modern algorithms, including powerful machine learning frameworks such as deep learning. The quest for discovering larger fa...
Efficient entanglement generation and detection of generalized stabilizer states
Yihong Zhang, Yifan Tang, You Zhou +1 more·Dec 14, 2020
The generation and verification of large-scale entanglement are essential to the development of quantum technologies. In this work, we present an efficient scheme to generate genuine multipartite entanglement of a large number of qubits, by using the...
Learning from Physics Experiments with Quantum Computers: Applications in Muon Spectroscopy
Sam McArdle·Dec 11, 2020
Computational physics is an important tool for analysing, verifying, and -- at times -- replacing physical experiments. Nevertheless, simulating quantum systems and analysing quantum data has so far resisted an efficient classical treatment in full g...
Correlated charge noise and relaxation errors in superconducting qubits
C. Wilen, S. Abdullah, N. Kurinsky +19 more·Dec 10, 2020
The central challenge in building a quantum computer is error correction. Unlike classical bits, which are susceptible to only one type of error, quantum bits (qubits) are susceptible to two types of error, corresponding to flips of the qubit state a...
