Single-Shot Error Correction at Optimal Spacetime Cost

Kishor Bharti, Tobias Haug, Derek Khu +1

Recent work established that, for independent erasures, storing logical qubits for time steps with error at most requires a spacetime cost of $Ω(S(K+\log(S/\v…

Pricing of graph-based quantum portfolios from first principles

Daniel J. Spencer, Bin Cheng, Dinh-Long Vu +3

A central topic in economics and finance is the valuation of strategic games and bets, of investments providing uncertain future cashflows, and of other asset-like structures and c…

High-Rate Quantum Codes with Proven Distance and Low-Weight Measurements

Kishor Bharti, Tobias Haug, Runzhou Tao +1

We study a family of quantum subsystem codes defined on rectangular coordinate grids of any dimension, with even side lengths of at least four. The directly measured operators act…

Function-like pseudorandom unitaries generate pseudorandom quantum processes

Zitai Xu, Rahul Arvind, Kishor Bharti +5

Haar-random unitaries provide a canonical model of generic random quantum evolution, but they typically have exponential description and circuit complexity. Although pseudorandom u…

Beyond IP = PSPACE and QIP = PSPACE: Interactive Proofs in Arbitrary Physical Theories

Kishor Bharti

The equalities IP = PSPACE and QIP = PSPACE, the latter achievable with three messages, raise a basic question: how much of an interactive proof's power comes from the underlying p…

Experimentally Testable Quantum Advantage in Shallow Circuits

Kishor Bharti, Adán Cabello

Experimental tests of shallow-circuit quantum advantage require explicit classical bounds at finite circuit sizes. We refine the finite-size classical soundness bound of Aasnaess's…

Deciding the Attainability of the Multiparameter Quantum Fisher Information is NP-Hard

Lorcan O. Conlon, Laura Shou, V Vijendran +7

The quantum Fisher information (QFI) sets a fundamental bound on the attainable precision when estimating multiple parameters simultaneously. Incompatibility among the individually…

Optimal noisy sequential multiparameter quantum sensing

Andrew Tanggara, Lorcán O Conlon, Alexey V. Gorshkov +1

The most general strategy for estimating parameters of a quantum channel is to probe the channel many times sequentially with the help of coherent ancillary systems. However, findi…

Syndrome measurements enable deterministic fault-tolerant gates

Kishor Bharti, Tobias Haug, Andrew Tanggara

Non-Clifford gates are essential for universal quantum computation, yet implementing them fault-tolerantly remains a central challenge for stabilizer codes. Here, we show how a syn…

Fault-tolerant quantum computation cannot be achieved with constant spacetime overhead

Kishor Bharti, Tobias Haug, Andrew Tanggara

The threshold theorem states that quantum computations can be made reliable below a physical error threshold, at the cost of additional physical qubits and circuit depth. Recent wo…

Exponential logical-error reduction in quantum memories via optimal syndrome-measurement timing

Tobias Haug, Kishor Bharti, Leandro Aolita

Syndrome-measurement timing is usually treated as a fixed clock cycle of a quantum error-correcting code. For quantum memories, however, the inter-round interval is itself an optim…

Two-copy nondistillability of Werner states: sharp partial-trace inequalities and finite-copy extensions

Kishor Bharti, Rishikesh Gajjala, Tobias Haug

We solve the two-copy distillability problem for Werner states in every local dimension. Our main matrix result is a sharp, dimension-free inequality: for every rank-at-most-two op…

An efficient Pauli decomposition algorithm for structured matrices

Daniel J. Spencer, Kishor Bharti, Alexey V. Gorshkov

Decomposing classical matrices into linear combinations of Pauli strings is a major bottleneck for end-to-end implementations of near-term quantum algorithms. In this work, we cons…

Quantum heuristics for linear optimization over large separable operators

Ankith Mohan, Tobias Haug, Kishor Bharti +1

Optimizing over separable quantum objects is challenging for two key reasons: determining separability is NP-hard, and the dimensionality of the problem grows exponentially with th…
