The non‐Gaussian‐state probe utilizes the product state comprising a photon‐added coherent state (PACS) with photon excitations and a coherent state (CS). The sensitivity of the QFOG is studied and it is found that it can be significantly enhanced through increasing the photon excitations in the PACS probe. The influence of photon loss on the performance of QFOG is investigated and it is demonstrated that the PACS probe exhibits robust resistance to photon loss. Furthermore, the performance of the QFOG using the PACS probe against two Gaussian‐state probes: the CS probe and the squeezed state (SS) probe is compared and it is indicated that the PACS probe offers a significant advantage in terms of sensitivity, regardless of photon loss, under the constraint condition of the same total number of input photons. Particularly, it is found that the sensitivity of the PACS probe can be three orders of magnitude higher than that of two Gaussian‐state probes for certain values of the measured parameter. The capabilities of the non‐Gaussian state probe in enhancing the sensitivity and resisting photon loss can have a wide‐ranging impact on future high‐performance QFOGs.","PeriodicalId":501028,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Quantum Technologies","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142262889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the example of topological zero modes in composite Su‐Schrieffer‐Heeger (c‐SSH) waveguide arrays with a central defect is reported on the selective excitation and transition of topological boundary mode based on dynamic phase‐steered interferences. This work thus provides a new knob for the control and manipulation of topological states in composite photonic devices, indicating promising applications where topological modes and their bandwidth can be jointly controlled by the dynamic phase, geometric phase, and wavelength in on‐chip topological devices.","PeriodicalId":501028,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Quantum Technologies","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the Constrained Binary Optimization with Unconstrained Variables Problems (CBO‐UVPs), the mixed operators in the QAOA+ circuit are applied to the constrained variables, while the single‐qubit rotating gates operate on the unconstrained variables. The expressibility of this circuit is limited by the shortage of two‐qubit gates and the parameter sharing in the single‐qubit rotating gates, which consequently impacts the performance of QAOA+ for solving CBO‐UVPs. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a suitable ansatz for CBO‐UVPs. In this paper, the Variational Quantum Algorithm‐Preserving Feasible Space (VQA‐PFS) ansatz is proposed, exemplified by the Uncapacitated Facility Location Problem (UFLP), that applies mixed operators on constrained variables while employing Hardware‐Efficient Ansatz (HEA) on unconstrained variables. The numerical results demonstrate that VQA‐PFS significantly enhances the probability of success and exhibits faster convergence than QAOA+, Quantum Approximation Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), and HEA. Furthermore, VQA‐PFS reduces the circuit depth dramatically compared to QAOA+ and QAOA.

Diffusion Models (DMs) are an emerging framework that have recently overcome Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in creating high‐quality images. Here, is proposed and discussed the quantum generalization of DMs, i.e., three Quantum‐Noise‐Driven Generative Diffusion Models (QNDGDMs) that could be experimentally tested on real quantum systems. The idea is to harness unique quantum features, in particular the non‐trivial interplay among coherence, entanglement, and noise that the currently available noisy quantum processors do unavoidably suffer from, in order to overcome the main computational burdens of classical diffusion models during inference. Hence, the suggestion is to exploit quantum noise not as an issue to be detected and solved but instead as a beneficial key ingredient to generate complex probability distributions from which a quantum processor might sample more efficiently than a classical one. Three examples of the numerical simulations are also included for the proposed approaches. The results are expected to pave the way for new quantum‐inspired or quantum‐based generative diffusion algorithms addressing tasks as data generation with widespread real‐world applications.","PeriodicalId":501028,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Quantum Technologies","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Color centers in diamond fulfill the fundamental requirements for quantum nodes: they constitute optically accessible quantum systems with long‐lived spin qubits. Furthermore, they provide access to a quantum register of electronic and nuclear spin qubits and they mediate entanglement between spins and photons. All these operations require coherent control of the color center's spin state. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the state‐of‐the‐art, challenges, and prospects of such schemes, including high‐fidelity initialization, coherent manipulation, and readout of spin states. Established microwave and optical control techniques are reviewed, and moreover, emerging methods such as cavity‐mediated spin–photon interactions and mechanical control based on spin–phonon interactions are summarized. For different types of color centers, namely, nitrogen–vacancy and group‐IV color centers, distinct challenges persist that are subject of ongoing research. Beyond fundamental coherent spin qubit control techniques, advanced demonstrations in quantum network applications are outlined, for example, the integration of individual color centers for accessing (nuclear) multiqubit registers.

Classical empirical interatomic potentials are commonly employed for simulating such a large number of atoms, however they fail to accurately capture all relevant effects of light‐matter interaction. Conversely, ab initio methods like Density Functional Theory (DFT) can effectively incorporate quantum properties arising from photon excitations, but their applicability is limited to small systems containing at most approximately atoms. Consequently, bridging the gap between achieving DFT precision and handling millions of atoms necessitates the development of innovative classes of interatomic potentials. In this paper, the construction of a highly accurate interatomic potential for diamond is presented, derived from an extensive dataset of DFT calculations. The parameters of the interatomic potential depend on the electronic temperature (). The findings demonstrate that this newly developed interatomic potential can aptly describe the laser processing of diamond for nanophotonic applications, achieving accuracy comparable to ab initio methods for large systems.","PeriodicalId":501028,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Quantum Technologies","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140832009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
