Computing with many encoded logical qubits beyond break-even

Shival Dasu, Matthew DeCross, Andrew Y. Guo +42

High-rate quantum error correcting (QEC) codes encode many logical qubits in a given number of physical qubits, making them promising candidates for quantum computation. Implementi…

Certified randomness amplification by dynamically probing remote random quantum states

Minzhao Liu, Pradeep Niroula, Matthew DeCross +49

Cryptography depends on truly unpredictable numbers, but physical sources emit biased or correlated bits. Quantum mechanics enables the amplification of imperfect randomness into n…

End-to-End Quantum Algorithms for the Jones Polynomial

Tuomas Laakkonen, Enrico Rinaldi, Chris N. Self +6

We present an end-to-end algorithmic pipeline where a noisy digital quantum computer is used to approximate the value of the Jones polynomial at the fifth root of unity for any inp…

Characterization of variational quantum algorithms using free fermions

Gabriel Matos, Chris N. Self, Zlatko Papić +2

We study variational quantum algorithms from the perspective of free fermions. By deriving the explicit structure of the associated Lie algebras, we show that the Quantum Approxima…

Quantum Delocalised-Interactions

A. J. Paige, Hyukjoon Kwon, Selwyn Simsek +3

Classical mechanics obeys the intuitive logic that a physical event happens at a definite spatial point. Entanglement however, breaks this logic by enabling interactions without a…

Geometric description of the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model

Ashk Farjami, Matthew D. Horner, Chris N. Self +2

It is widely accepted that topological superconductors can only have an effective interpretation in terms of curved geometry rather than gauge fields due to their charge neutrality…

Seeing topological edge and bulk currents in time-of-flight images

Alvaro Rubio-García, Chris N. Self, Juan Jose García-Ripoll +1

Here we provide a general methodology to directly measure the topological currents emerging in the optical lattice implementation of the Haldane model. Alongside the edge currents…

Topological bulk states and their currents

Chris N. Self, Alvaro Rubio-García, Juan Jose García-Ripoll +1

We provide evidence that, alongside topologically protected edge states, two-dimensional Chern insulators also support localised bulk states deep in their valance and conduction ba…

Thermally induced metallic phase in a gapped quantum spin liquid - a Monte Carlo study of the Kitaev model with parity projection

Chris N. Self, Johannes Knolle, Sofyan Iblisdir +1

Thermalisation is a probabilistic process. As such, it is generally expected that when we increase the temperature of a system its classical behaviour dominates its quantum coheren…
