Industry-ready spin-photon interfaces for hybrid photonic quantum computing

Hêlio Huet, Hubert Lam, Thibaut Pollet +45

Hybrid photonic quantum computers, combining stationary matter qubits and flying photonic qubits, offer an intrinsically networked and resource-efficient route to large-scale, erro…

Energetics of non-Gaussianity in single mode cavities

Sahil Sardar Jafar, Sahil S. Jafar, Kian Hwee Lim +4

Non-Gaussian states are key resources for quantum technologies, making the quantification of non-Gaussianity a fundamental challenge. We introduce an energetic framework for charac…

Optimizing Wigner Negativity in Scattering Processes Using Energetic Cost Functions

Kian Hwee Lim, Kiarn T. Laverick, Sahil S. Jafar +3

Wigner negativity is a key resource for quantum technologies but is difficult to optimize in multimode scattering systems. We study the scattering of coherent pulses by a two-level…

An Energetic Constraint for Qubit-Qubit Entanglement

Kiarn T. Laverick, Samyak P. Prasad, Pascale Senellart +2

We analyze qubit-qubit entanglement from an energetic perspective and reveal an energetic trade-off between quantum coherence and entanglement. We decompose each qubit internal ene…

Post-processed estimation of quantum state trajectories

Soroush Khademi, Jesse J. Slim, Kiarn T. Laverick +5

Weak quantum measurements enable real-time tracking and control of dynamical quantum systems, producing quantum trajectories -- evolutions of the quantum state of the system condit…

Counterfactual quantum measurements

Ingita Banerjee, Kiarn T. Laverick, Howard M. Wiseman

Counterfactual reasoning plays a crucial role in exploring hypothetical scenarios, by comparing some consequent under conditions identical except as results from a differing antece…

Tracking Quantum Dynamics in an Optical Cavity for Recovering Purity and Squeezing via Quantum State Smoothing

Shota Yokoyama, Kiarn T. Laverick, David McManus +6

Tracking the dynamics of a quantum system is conventionally achieved by monitoring the system continuously in time and filtering the information contained in measurement records vi…

Quantum state smoothing when Alice assumes the wrong type of monitoring by Bob

Areeya Chantasri, Kiarn T. Laverick, Howard M. Wiseman

An open quantum system leaks information into its environment. In some circumstances it is possible for an observer, say Alice, to recover that information, as a classical measurem…

Inequivalent ways to apply semi-classical smoothing to a quantum system

Kiarn T. Laverick, Areeya Chantasri, Howard M. Wiseman

In this paper, we correct a mistake we made in [Phys. Rev. Lett. , 190402 (2019)] and [Phys. Rev. A , 012213 (2021)] regarding the Wigner function of th…

A Retrodictive Approach to Quantum State Smoothing

Mingxuan Liu, Valerio Scarani, Alexia Auffèves +1

Smoothing is a technique for estimating the state of an imperfectly monitored open system by combining both prior and posterior measurement information. In the quantum regime, curr…

Nonlocality activation in a photonic quantum network

Luis Villegas-Aguilar, Emanuele Polino, Farzad Ghafari +9

Bell nonlocality refers to correlations between two distant, entangled particles that challenge classical notions of local causality. Beyond its foundational significance, nonlocal…

Quantum state smoothing cannot be assumed classical even when the filtering and retrofiltering are classical

Kiarn T. Laverick, Prahlad Warszawski, Areeya Chantasri +1

State smoothing is a technique to estimate a state at a particular time, conditioned on information obtained both before (past) and after (future) that time. For a classical system…

Quantum state smoothing as an optimal estimation problem with three different cost functions

Kiarn T. Laverick, Ivonne Guevara, Howard M. Wiseman

Quantum state smoothing is a technique to estimate an unknown true state of an open quantum system based on partial measurement information both prior and posterior to the time of…

Unifying theory of quantum state estimation using past and future information

Areeya Chantasri, Ivonne Guevara, Kiarn T. Laverick +1

Quantum state estimation for continuously monitored dynamical systems involves assigning a quantum state to an individual system at some time, conditioned on the results of continu…

The Quantum Rauch-Tung-Striebel Smoothed State

Kiarn T. Laverick

Smoothing is a technique that estimates the state of a system using measurement information both prior and posterior to the estimation time. Two notable examples of this technique…

Adaptive estimation of a time-varying phase with coherent states: smoothing can give an unbounded improvement over filtering

Kiarn T. Laverick, Howard M. Wiseman, Hossien T. Dinani +1

The problem of measuring a time-varying phase, even when the statistics of the variation is known, is considerably harder than that of measuring a constant phase. In particular, th…
