Observable Estimation in the Absence of Classical Verification

Samantha V. Barron, Bradley Mitchell, Vinay Tripathi +45

The predictive success of quantum mechanics underpins many areas of modern science, even as the exact simulation of large, interacting quantum systems remains beyond the reach of c…

A derivation of the late-time volume law for local operator entanglement

Guilherme Ilário Correr, John Goold, Marco Cattaneo

Local Operator Entanglement (LOE) has emerged an indicator of quantum chaos in many-body systems. Numerical studies have shown that, in chaotic systems, LOE grows linearly in time…

Digitally Optimized Initializations for Fast Thermodynamic Computing

Mattia Moroder, Felix C. Binder, John Goold

Thermodynamic computing harnesses the relaxation dynamics of physical systems to perform matrix operations. A key limitation of such approaches is the often long thermalization tim…

Accelerating qubit reset through the Mpemba effect

Théo Lejeune, Miha Papič, John Goold +3

Passive qubit reset is a key primitive for quantum information processing, whereby qubits are initialized by allowing them to relax to their ground state through natural dissipatio…

Thermodynamic universality across dissipative quantum phase transitions

Laetitia P. Bettmann, Artur M. Lacerda, Mark T. Mitchison +1

We study finite-time driving across second-order dissipative quantum phase transitions described by Lindblad dynamics. We show that the nonadiabatic entropy production, which quant…

A resource theoretical unification of Mpemba effects: classical and quantum

Alessandro Summer, Mattia Moroder, Laetitia P. Bettmann +3

The Mpemba effect originally referred to the observation that, under certain thermalizing dynamics, initially hotter samples can cool faster than colder ones. This effect has since…

A Random Matrix Theory of Pauli Tomography

Nathan Keenan, John Goold, Alex Nico-Katz

Quantum state tomography (QST), the process of reconstructing some unknown quantum state from repeated measurements on copies of said state, is a foundationally important t…

The response of a quantum system to a collision: an autonomous derivation of Kubo's formula

Samuel L. Jacob, John Goold

We study the response of a quantum system induced by a collision with a quantum particle, using the time-independent framework of scattering theory. After deriving the dynamical ma…

Myths around quantum computation before full fault tolerance: What no-go theorems rule out and what they don't

Zoltán Zimborás, Bálint Koczor, Zoë Holmes +19

In this perspective article, we revisit and critically evaluate prevailing viewpoints on the capabilities and limitations of near-term quantum computing and its potential transitio…

Information geometry of transitions between quantum nonequilibrium steady states

Artur M. Lacerda, Laetitia P. Bettmann, John Goold

In a transition between nonequilibrium steady states, the entropic cost associated with the maintenance of steady-state currents can be distinguished from that arising from the tra…

Anomalous discharging of quantum batteries: the ergotropic Mpemba effect

Ivan Medina, Oisín Culhane, Felix C. Binder +2

Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools fast…

Can Quantum Computers Do Nothing?

Alexander Nico-Katz, Nathan Keenan, John Goold

Quantum computing platforms are subject to contradictory engineering requirements: qubits must be protected from mutual interactions when idling ('doing nothing'), and strongly int…
