Quantum simulation of ultrastrongly coupled bosonic modes using superconducting circuits

S. Fedortchenko, S. Felicetti, D. Marković +5

The ground state of a pair of ultrastrongly coupled bosonic modes is predicted to be a two-mode squeezed vacuum. However, the corresponding quantum correlations are currently unobs…

Efficient quantum communications with multiplexed coherent state fingerprints

Niraj Kumar, Eleni Diamanti, Iordanis Kerenidis

We provide the first example of a communication model and a distributed task, for which there exists a realistic quantum protocol which is asymptotically more efficient than any cl…

Surface-modified Wannier-Stark states in a 1D optical lattice

A. Maury, M. Donaire, M. -P. Gorza +2

We study the energy spectrum of atoms trapped in a vertical 1D optical lattice in close proximity to a reflective surface. We propose an effective model to describe the interaction…

Semi-classical Dynamics of Superradiant Rayleigh Scattering in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

J. H. Müller, D. Witthaut, R. le Targat +3

Due to its coherence properties and high optical depth, a Bose-Einstein condensate provides an ideal setting to investigate collective atom-light interactions. Superradiant light s…

Continuous-Variable Instantaneous Quantum Computing is hard to sample

T. Douce, D. Markham, E. Kashefi +5

Instantaneous quantum computing is a sub-universal quantum complexity class, whose circuits have proven to be hard to simulate classically in the Discrete-Variable (DV) realm. We e…

Quantum walks and non-Abelian discrete gauge theory

Pablo Arnault, Giuseppe Di Molfetta, Marc Brachet +1

A new family of discrete-time quantum walks (DTQWs) on the line with an exact discrete gauge invariance is introduced. It is shown that the continuous limit of these DTQWs,…
