Thereby, entanglement witnesses that are specifically suited for a scalable experiment design are used. This choice of entanglement witnesses can detect A) bipartite entanglement and B) genuine multipartite entanglement for graph states with constant two measurement settings if the prepared graph state is based on a two-colorable graph, e.g., a square grid graph or one of its subgraphs.

This study considers transfer of Gaussian states over noisy quantum networks with modular structure, which have been identified as a suitable platform for quantum routing. Two noise models are compared, affecting either the network topology or the network constituents, studying their effects on both the transfer fidelities and the network properties. The two models are found to affect different features of the network allowing for the identification and quantification of the noise. These features are then used as a guide toward different strategies for the compensation of the noise, and to examine how the compensation strategies perform.

The quantum alternating direction method of multipliers (QADMM) decompose the UCP into quadratic binary optimization (QBO) subproblems and continuous optimization subproblems. Relaxing constraints reformulate the QBO into a quadratic unconstrainted binary optimization (QUBO) problem, which can be addressed using quantum algorithms. Nevertheless, this approach lacks precision for hard constraints and requires more qubits, limiting the UCP scale addressed within QADMM. To confront the aforementioned challenges, this study introduces the consensus constraint-encoded divide-and-conquer QADMM (CCDC-QADMM). As a scalable fully distributed algorithm, CCDC-QADMM decomposes the UCP into two subproblems: Subproblem 1, a QUBO problem embedded with minimum up/down constraints, and Subproblem 2, a UC problem without minimum up/down constraints. By employing variable duplication for decoupling and leveraging the principles of average consensus, CCDC-QADMM achieves fully distributed computation. Specifically, in the QUBO subproblem 1, this algorithm encodes minimum up/down constraints into a hard constraint form within the mixing Hamiltonian. Simultaneously, it employs a divide-and-conquer strategy to accommodate the current constraints posed by the limited qubit resources. The effectiveness and scalability of this algorithm are substantiated through practical validation within real-world UCP scenarios.</p>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119946","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}
