Almost no experiments have classical Kirkwood-Dirac representations
Christopher Langrenez, Wilfred Salmon, Stephan De Bièvre +3
A central problem in quantum information is determining quantum-classical boundaries. In the quasiprobability framework, a state is called classical if it is represented by a quasi…
Kirkwood-Dirac Nonpositivity is a Necessary Resource for Quantum Computing
Jonathan J. Thio, Songqinghao Yang, Stephan De Bièvre +2
Classical computers can simulate models of quantum computation with restricted input states. The identification of such states can sharpen the boundary between quantum and classica…
Experimental demonstration of scalable cross-entropy benchmarking to detect measurement-induced phase transitions on a superconducting quantum processor
Hirsh Kamakari, Jiace Sun, Yaodong Li +5
Quantum systems subject to random unitary evolution and measurements at random points in spacetime exhibit entanglement phase transitions which depend on the frequency of these mea…
Contextuality Can be Verified with Noncontextual Experiments
Jonathan J. Thio, Wilfred Salmon, Crispin H. W. Barnes +2
We uncover new features of generalized contextuality by connecting it to the Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability distribution. Quantum states can be represented by KD distribution…
