A Complete Equational Presentation of Qudit Circuits via Polycontrolled PROPs

Colin Blake

High-dimensional quantum computation needs a native circuit-level equational theory for qudits. We give the first finite schematic equational theory that is sound and complete for…

Inserting Planar-Measured Qubits into MBQC Patterns while Preserving Flow

Miriam Backens, Thomas Perez

In the one-way model of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), computation proceeds via single-qubit measurements on a resource state. Flow conditions ensure that the overal…

Ancilla-free Quantum Adder with Sublinear Depth

Maxime Remaud, Vivien Vandaele

We present the first exact quantum adder with sublinear depth and no ancilla qubits. Our construction is based on classical reversible logic only and employs low-depth implementati…

Local equivalence of stabilizer states: a graphical characterisation

Nathan Claudet, Simon Perdrix

Stabilizer states form a ubiquitous family of quantum states that can be graphically represented through the graph state formalism. A fundamental property of graph states is that a…

LDPC-cat codes for low-overhead quantum computing in 2D

Diego Ruiz, Jérémie Guillaud, Anthony Leverrier +2

Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are a promising construction for drastically reducing the overhead of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) architectures. However,…

Covering a Graph with Minimal Local Sets

Nathan Claudet, Simon Perdrix

Local sets, a graph structure invariant under local complementation, have been originally introduced in the context of quantum computing for the study of quantum entanglement withi…

Vertex-minor universal graphs for generating entangled quantum subsystems

Maxime Cautrès, Nathan Claudet, Mehdi Mhalla +3

We study the notion of -stabilizer universal quantum state, that is, an -qubit quantum state, such that it is possible to induce any stabilizer state on any qubits, by us…

Minimal Equational Theories for Quantum Circuits

Alexandre Clément, Noé Delorme, Simon Perdrix

We introduce the first minimal and complete equational theory for quantum circuits. Hence, we show that any true equation on quantum circuits can be derived from simple rules, all…

Robust sparse IQP sampling in constant depth

Louis Paletta, Anthony Leverrier, Alain Sarlette +2

Between NISQ (noisy intermediate scale quantum) approaches without any proof of robust quantum advantage and fully fault-tolerant quantum computation, we propose a scheme to achiev…

Homological Quantum Rotor Codes: Logical Qubits from Torsion

Christophe Vuillot, Alessandro Ciani, Barbara M. Terhal

We formally define homological quantum rotor codes which use multiple quantum rotors to encode logical information. These codes generalize homological or CSS quantum codes for qubi…

Optimal Hadamard gate count for Clifford synthesis of Pauli rotations sequences

Vivien Vandaele, Simon Martiel, Simon Perdrix +1

The Clifford gate set is commonly used to perform universal quantum computation. In such setup the gate is typically much more expensive to implement in a fault-tolerant wa…

A graph-state based synthesis framework for Clifford isometries

Timothée Goubault de Brugière, Simon Martiel, Christophe Vuillot

We tackle the problem of Clifford isometry compilation, i.e, how to synthesize a Clifford isometry into an executable quantum circuit. We propose a simple framework for synthesis t…
