We introduce a quantum repeater protocol to efficiently distribute three-qubit W states over arbitrary distances in a two-dimensional triangular quantum network with polylogarithmic overhead, thereby enabling these applications between remote parties. The repeater protocol combines two ingredients that we establish: probabilistic entanglement swapping with three copies of three-qubit W states to a single long-distance three-qubit W state, and an improved entanglement purification protocol. The latter not only shows a better performance, but also an enlarged purification regime as compared to previous approaches. We show that the repeater protocol allows one to deal with errors resulting from imperfect channels or state preparation, and noisy operations, and we analyze error thresholds, achievable fidelities, and overheads.Received 2 May 2023Revised 8 September 2023Accepted 4 October 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040323Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

We derive tight and fundamental upper bounds to loss-tolerance thresholds in different linear-optical quantum information processing settings through an adversarial framework, taking into account the intrinsically probabilistic nature of linear optical Bell measurements. For logical Bell state measurements—ubiquitous operations in photonic quantum information—we demonstrate analytically that linear optics can achieve the fundamental loss threshold imposed by the no-cloning theorem even though, following the work of Lee et al. [Phys. Rev. A 100, 052303 (2019)] the constraint was widely assumed to be stricter. We spotlight the assumptions of the latter publication and find their bound holds for a logical Bell measurement built from adaptive physical linear-optical Bell measurements. We also give an explicit even stricter bound for nonadaptive Bell measurements.7 MoreReceived 21 February 2023Revised 22 May 2023Accepted 22 September 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040322Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

A tunable coupler typically includes a nonlinear element, such as a superconducting quantum interference device, which is used to tune the resonance frequency of an LC circuit connecting two qubits. Here we propose a complimentary approach where instead of tuning the resonance frequency of the tunable coupler by applying a quasistatic control signal, we excite by microwave the degree of freedom associated with the coupler itself. Because of strong effective longitudinal coupling between the coupler and the qubits, the frequency of this transition strongly depends on the computational state, leading to different phase accumulations in different states. Using this method, we experimentally demonstrate a controlled-Z gate of 44-ns duration on a fluxonium-based quantum processor, obtaining a fidelity of 97.6%±0.4% characterized by cross-entropy benchmarking.2 MoreReceived 22 February 2023Accepted 5 October 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040321Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

We particularly consider cases where the eavesdropper, Eve, has limited access to the transmitted signal by Alice and/or Bob’s receiver station. This restriction is modeled by lossy channels between relevant parties, where the transmissivity of such channels can, in principle, be bounded by monitoring techniques. An artifact of such lossy channels is the possibility of having bypass channels, those that are not accessible to Eve but that may not necessarily be characterized by the users either. This creates interesting unexplored scenarios for analyzing QKD security. In this paper, we obtain generic bounds on the key rate in the presence of bypass channels and apply them to continuous-variable QKD protocols with Gaussian encoding with direct and reverse reconciliation. We find regimes of operation in which the above restrictions on Eve can considerably improve system performance. We also develop customized bounds for several protocols in the BB84 family and show that, in certain regimes, even the simple protocol of BB84 with weak coherent pulses is able to offer positive key rates at high channel losses, which would otherwise be impossible under an unrestricted Eve. In this case, the limitation on Eve would allow Alice to send signals with larger intensities than the optimal value under an ideal Eve, which effectively reduces the effective channel loss. In all these cases, the part of the transmitted signal that does not reach Eve can play a nontrivial role in specifying the achievable key rate. Our work opens up new security frameworks for spaceborne quantum communications systems.10 MoreReceived 20 December 2022Revised 28 April 2023Accepted 25 September 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040320Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

It mandates a synergy of fundamental physics and engineering: the former for the microscopic aspects of computing performance and the latter for the macroscopic resource consumption. For this, we propose a holistic methodology dubbed metric noise resource (MNR) that is able to quantify and optimize all aspects of the full-stack quantum computer, bringing together concepts from quantum physics (e.g., noise on the qubits), quantum information (e.g., computing architecture and type of error correction), and enabling technologies (e.g., cryogenics, control electronics, and wiring). This holistic approach allows us to define and study resource efficiencies as ratios between performance and resource cost. As a proof of concept, we use MNR to minimize the power consumption of a full-stack quantum computer, performing noisy or fault-tolerant computing with a target performance for the task of interest. Comparing this with a classical processor performing the same task, we identify a quantum energy advantage in regimes of parameters distinct from the commonly considered quantum computational advantage. This provides a previously overlooked practical argument for building quantum computers. While our illustration uses highly idealized parameters inspired by superconducting qubits with concatenated error correction, the methodology is universal—it applies to other qubits and error-correcting codes—and it provides experimenters with guidelines to build energy-efficient quantum computers. In some regimes of high energy consumption, it can reduce this consumption by orders of magnitude. Overall, our methodology lays the theoretical foundation for resource-efficient quantum technologies.7 MoreReceived 29 November 2022Accepted 31 July 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040319Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

Given its remarkable capability, one would think it can introduce large entanglement to qubit systems and would be difficult to simulate classically. While early results showed the QFT indeed has maximal operator entanglement, we show that this is entirely due to the bit reversal in the QFT. The core part of the QFT has Schmidt coefficients decaying exponentially quickly, and thus it can generate only a constant amount of entanglement regardless of the number of qubits. In addition, we show the entangling power of the QFT is the same as the time evolution of a Hamiltonian with exponentially decaying interactions, and thus a variant of the area law for dynamics can be used to understand the low entanglement intuitively. Using the low entanglement property of the QFT, we show that classical simulations of the QFT on a matrix product state with low bond dimension take time linear in the number of qubits, providing a potential speedup over the classical fast Fourier transform on many classes of functions. We demonstrate this speedup in test calculations on some simple functions. For data vectors of length 106–108, the speedup can be a few orders of magnitude.2 MoreReceived 2 January 2023Accepted 25 September 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040318Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

We demonstrate that sampling such Pauli-Markov chains gives ample flexibility in terms of partitions where to sample from: in particular, it enables the efficient extraction of the magic contained in the correlations between widely separated subsystems, which characterizes the nonlocality of magic. Our method can be implemented in a variety of situations. We describe an efficient sampling procedure using tree tensor networks, that exploit their hierarchical structure leading to a modest O(logN) computational scaling with system size. To showcase the applicability and efficiency of our method, we demonstrate the importance of magic in many-body systems via the following discoveries: (a) for one-dimensional systems, we show that long-range magic displays strong signatures of conformal quantum criticality (Ising, Potts, and Gaussian), overcoming the limitations of full state magic; (b) in two-dimensional Z2 lattice gauge theories, we provide conclusive evidence that magic is able to identify the confinement-deconfinement transition, and displays critical scaling behavior even at relatively modest volumes. Finally, we discuss an experimental implementation of the method, which relies only on measurements of Pauli observables.8 MoreReceived 13 June 2023Accepted 26 September 2023DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.4.040317Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.

In this work, we provide a new perspective on dissipative cat qubits by reconsidering the reservoir mode used to engineer the tailored two-photon dissipation, and show how it can be leveraged to mitigate gate-induced errors. Doing so, we introduce four new designs of high-fidelity and bias-preserving cat qubit gates, and compare them to the prevalent gate methods.
