SpiderCSS: Scalable Fault-Tolerant CSS State Preparation

Boldizsár Poór, Andrey Boris Khesin, Sarah Meng Li +3

Fault-tolerant preparation of logical states is a critical primitive for the realization of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. This paper introduces SpiderCSS, a scalabl…

Mirror codes: High-threshold quantum LDPC codes beyond the CSS regime

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu

The realization of quantum error correction protocols whose logical error rates are suppressed far below physical error rates relies on an intricate combination: the error-correcti…

SpiderCat: Optimal Fault-Tolerant Cat State Preparation

Andrey Boris Khesin, Sarah Meng Li, Boldizsár Poór +3

The ability to fault-tolerantly prepare CAT states, also known as multi-qubit GHZ states, is an important primitive for quantum error correction. It is required for Shor-style synd…

Average-Case Complexity of Quantum Stabilizer Decoding

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu, Alexander Poremba +2

Random classical linear codes are widely believed to be hard to decode. While slightly sub-exponential time algorithms exist when the coding rate vanishes sufficiently rapidly, all…

SET! From Groups to Games

Andrey Boris Khesin, Tanya Khovanova

The game of SET is one of the best mathematical games ever. It is no wonder that people have tried to generalize it. We discuss existing generalizations of the game of SET to diffe…

Quantum Computing from Graphs

Andrey Boris Khesin

While stabilizer tableaus have proven exceptionally useful as a descriptive tool for additive quantum codes, they offer little guidance for concrete constructions or coding algorit…

Universal graph representation of stabilizer codes

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu, Peter W. Shor

While stabilizer tableaus have proven useful as a descriptive tool for additive quantum codes, they otherwise offer little guidance for concrete constructions or algorithm analysis…

Equivalence Classes of Quantum Error-Correcting Codes

Andrey Boris Khesin, Alexander Li

Quantum error-correcting codes (QECC's) are needed to combat the inherent noise affecting quantum processes. Using ZX calculus, we represent QECC's in a form called a ZX diagram, c…

New Properties of Intrinsic Information and Their Relation to Bound Secrecy

Andrey Boris Khesin, Andrew Tung, Karthik Vedula

The secret-key rate measures the rate at which Alice and Bob can extract secret bits from sampling a joint probability distribution, unknown to an eavesdropper Eve. The secret-key…

Graphical quantum Clifford-encoder compilers from the ZX calculus

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu, Peter W. Shor

We present a quantum compilation algorithm that maps Clifford encoders, encoding maps for stabilizer quantum codes, to a unique graphical representation in the ZX calculus. Specifi…

Publicly verifiable quantum money from random lattices

Andrey Boris Khesin, Jonathan Z. Lu, Peter W. Shor

Publicly verifiable quantum money is a protocol for the preparation of quantum states that can be efficiently verified by any party for authenticity but is computationally infeasib…

Simultaneous Measurement and Entanglement

Andrey Boris Khesin, Peter Shor

We study scenarios which arise when two spatially-separated observers, Alice and Bob, are try to identify a quantum state sampled from several possibilities. In particular, we exam…

Extending the Graph Formalism to Higher-Order Gates

Andrey Boris Khesin, Kevin Ren

We present an algorithm for efficiently simulating a quantum circuit in the graph formalism. In the graph formalism, we represent states as a linear combination of graphs with Clif…

On Quasisymmetric Functions with Two Bordering Variables

Andrey Boris Khesin, Alexander Lu Zhang

We extend past results on a family of formal power series , parameterized by and , that largely resemble quasisymmetric functions. This family of func…

Preconditioning for the Geometric Transportation Problem

Andrey Boris Khesin, Aleksandar Nikolov, Dmitry Paramonov

In the geometric transportation problem, we are given a collection of points in -dimensional Euclidean space, and each point is given a supply of units of mass, where…

A Tabulation of Ribbon Knots in Tangle Form

Andrey Boris Khesin

It is known that there are 21 ribbon knots with 10 crossings or fewer. We show that for every ribbon knot, there exists a tangle that satisfies two properties associated with the k…

The 250 Knots with up to 10 Crossings

Andrey Boris Khesin

The list of knots with up to 10 crossings is commonly referred to as the Rolfsen Table. This paper presents a way to generate the Rolfsen table in a simple, clear, and reproducible…
