Quantum network

Summary

Quantum networks form an important element of quantum computing and quantum communication systems. Quantum networks facilitate the transmission of information in the form of quantum bits, also called qubits, between physically separated quantum processors. A quantum processor is a small quantum computer being able to perform quantum logic gates on a certain number of qubits. Quantum networks work in a similar way to classical networks. The main difference is that quantum networking, like quantum computing, is better at solving certain problems, such as modeling quantum systems. Basics Quantum networks for computation Networked quantum computing or distributed quantum computing works by linking multiple quantum processors through a quantum network by sending qubits in-between them. Doing this creates a quantum computing cluster and therefore creates more computing potential. Less powerful computers can be linked in this way to create one more pow

Dynamical Localization Simulated on Actual Quantum Hardware

Su Yeon Chang

Quantum computers are invaluable tools to explore the properties of complex quantum systems. We show that dynamical localization of the quantum sawtooth map, a highly sensitive quantum coherent phenomenon, can be simulated on actual, small-scale quantum processors. Our results demonstrate that quantum computing of dynamical localization may become a convenient tool for evaluating advances in quantum hardware performances.

Efficient Quantum Algorithms for GHZ and W States, and Implementation on the IBM Quantum Computer

Efficient deterministic algorithms are proposed with logarithmic step complexities for the generation of entangled GHZ(N) and W-N states useful for quantum networks, and an implementation on the IBM quantum computer up to N = 16 is demonstrated. Improved quality is then investigated using full quantum tomography for low-N GHZ and W states. This is completed by parity oscillations and histogram distance for large-N GHZ and W states, respectively. Robust states are built with about twice the number of quantum bits which were previously achieved.

Fully Tunable Longitudinal Spin-Photon Interactions in Si and Ge Quantum Dots

Pasquale Scarlino

Spin qubits in silicon and germanium quantum dots are promising platforms for quantum computing, but entangling spin qubits over micrometer distances remains a critical challenge. Current prototypical architectures maximize transversal interactions between qubits and microwave resonators, where the spin state is flipped by nearly resonant photons. However, these interactions cause backaction on the qubit that yields unavoidable residual qubit-qubit couplings and significantly affects the gate fidelity. Strikingly, residual couplings vanish when spin-photon interactions are longitudinal and photons couple to the phase of the qubit. We show that large and tunable spin-photon interactions emerge naturally in state-of-the-art hole spin qubits and that they change from transversal to longitudinal depending on the magnetic field direction. We propose ways to electrically control and measure these interactions, as well as realistic protocols to implement fast high-fidelity two-qubit entangling gates. These protocols work also at high temperatures, paving the way toward the implementation of large-scale quantum processors.
