  • The Future of Quantum Information Processing
    SPECIALSECTION INTRODUCTION The Future of Quantum Information Processing IN A WORLD OVERWHELMED BY INCREASING AMOUNTS OF DATA, FINDING NEW WAYS to store and process information has become a necessity. Conventional silicon- based electronics has experienced rapid and steady growth, thanks to the progres- sive miniaturization of its basic component, the transistor, but that trend cannot continue indefi nitely. Quantum In conventional devices, information is stored and manipulated in binary form: The elementary components of these devices—the so-called bits—have Information two states, each of which encodes the binary 0 or 1. To move beyond the binary system, one can exploit the laws of quantum mechanics. A quantum-mechanical Processing object with two energy levels at its disposal can occupy either of those two levels, but also an arbitrary combination (“superposition”) of the two, much like an CONTENTS electron in a two-slit experiment can go through both slits at once. This results in infi nitely many quantum states that a single quantum bit, or “qubit,” can take; together with another strange property of quantum mechanics—entanglement— Reviews it allows for a much more powerful information platform than is possible with 1164 Scaling the Ion Trap Quantum conventional components.

  • Fault-Tolerant Interface Between Quantum Memories and Quantum Processors
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01418-2 OPEN Fault-tolerant interface between quantum memories and quantum processors Hendrik Poulsen Nautrup 1, Nicolai Friis 1,2 & Hans J. Briegel1 Topological error correction codes are promising candidates to protect quantum computa- tions from the deteriorating effects of noise. While some codes provide high noise thresholds suitable for robust quantum memories, others allow straightforward gate implementation 1234567890 needed for data processing. To exploit the particular advantages of different topological codes for fault-tolerant quantum computation, it is necessary to be able to switch between them. Here we propose a practical solution, subsystem lattice surgery, which requires only two-body nearest-neighbor interactions in a fixed layout in addition to the indispensable error correction. This method can be used for the fault-tolerant transfer of quantum information between arbitrary topological subsystem codes in two dimensions and beyond. In particular, it can be employed to create a simple interface, a quantum bus, between noise resilient surface code memories and flexible color code processors. 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria. 2 Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Boltzmanngasse 3, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

  • Waiting for the Quantum Bus Arxiv:1406.5674V1 [Quant-Ph] 22
    Waiting for the Quantum Bus A.J. Bracken ∗ and G.F. Melloy School of of Mathematics and Physics The University of Queensland Brisbane, Australia 4072 Abstract Forty-five years after the discovery of the peculiar quantum effect known as `probability backflow', and twenty years after the greatest possible size of the effect was characterized, an experiment has been proposed recently to observe the effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Here the history is described in non-technical terms. arXiv:1406.5674v1 [quant-ph] 22 Jun 2014 ∗Email: [email protected] 1 Einstein's conviction that \God does not play at dice with the universe" is now generally seen as misguided. The quantum world, unlike our everyday classical world, is inherently probabilitistic in nature. But it may yet surprise the reader to learn that even in regard to probability itself, the quantum and classical worlds do not always behave in the same way. Forty-five years ago, British physicist G R Allcock published three papers [1], since widely-cited, on the so-called `arrival-time' problem in quantum me- chanics. This is the problem of determining the probability distribution over times at which a quantum particle may be observed at a given position. It is converse to a problem that quantum mechanics deals with routinely, namely to predict the probability distribution over positions at which a quantum par- ticle may be observed at a given time. The difference between the two looks so subtle as to be insignificant, but the arrival-time problem is by no means as straightforward as its counterpart, and it has led to continuing argument and research over many years [2, 3, 4].

R. China Quantum information is vulnerable to environmental noise and experimental imperfections, hindering the reliability of practical quantum information processors. Therefore, quantum error correction (QEC) that can protect quantum information against noise is vital for universal and scalable quantum compu- tation. Among many different experimental platforms, superconducting quantum circuits and bosonic encodings in superconducting microwave modes are appealing for their unprecedented potential in QEC. During the last few years, bosonic QEC is demonstrated to reach the break-even point, i.e. the lifetime of a logical qubit is enhanced to exceed that of any individual components composing the experimen- tal system. Beyond that, universal gate sets and fault-tolerant operations on the bosonic codes are also realized, pushing quantum information processing towards the QEC era. In this article, we review the recent progress of the bosonic codes, including the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill codes, cat codes, and bino- mial codes, and discuss the opportunities of bosonic codes in various quantum applications, ranging from fault-tolerant quantum computation to quantum metrology. We also summarize the challenges associated with the bosonic codes and provide an outlook for the potential research directions in the long terms. I.

  • Spin Chain Systems for Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Applications
    Spin Chain Systems for Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Applications MARTA P. ESTARELLAS PHD UNIVERSITY OF YORK Physics April, 2018 3 University of York Abstract York Center for Quantum Technologies Department of Physics Doctor of Philosophy Spin Chain Systems for Quantum Computing and Quantum Information Applications by Marta P. ESTARELLAS One of the most essential processes in classical computation is that related to the information manipulation; each component or register of a computer needs to com- municate to others by exchanging information encoded in bits and transforming it through logical operations. Hence the theoretical study of methods for informa- tion transfer and processing in classical information theory is of fundamental impor- tance for telecommunications and computer science, along with study of errors and robustness of such proposals. When adding the quantum ingredient, there arises a whole new set of paradigms and devices, based on manipulations of qubits, the quantum analogues of conventional data bits. Such systems can show enormous advantage against their classical analogues, but at the same time present a whole new set of technical and conceptual challenges to overcome. The full and detailed understanding of quantum processes and studies of theoretical models and devices therefore provide the first logical steps to the future technological exploitation of these new machines. In this line, this thesis focuses on spin chains as such theoreti- cal models, formed by series of coupled qubits that can be applied to a wide range of physical systems, and its several potential applications as quantum devices. In this work spin chains are presented as reliable devices for quantum communication with high transfer fidelities, entanglement generation and distribution over distant par- ties and protected storage of quantum information.
