Warm-Start Iterative QITE for Distribution Network Reconfiguration via Branch-Exchange Encoding
Noah Crum, Pete Pritchard, Tanner Rase +5
We present a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for distribution network reconfiguration, a combinatorial optimization problem on power distribution networks, that combines a radia…
High-flux sub-Poissonian twin fields generation from warm atomic vapor
Priya Drashni, Hari P. Lamsal, Belle A. White +3
We demonstrate the generation of sub-Poissonian twin fields via near-degenerate spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in warm vapor at 795~nm. When seeded with a w…
Distributed g(2) Retrieval with Atomic Clocks: Eliminating Conventional Sync Protocols
Md Mehdi Hassan, Jacob E. Humberd, Mohmad Junaid Ul Haq +3
We demonstrate a method to measure coincidences between polarization-entangled photons distributed to distant locations, eliminating traditional synchronization by employing a comp…
Practical Quantum Clock Synchronization Using Weak Coherent Pulses
Noah Crum, Md Mehdi Hassan, George Siopsis
Establishing and maintaining a common time reference across spatially separated devices is a prerequisite for networked quantum experiments and secure communications. Classical two…
Mode Distinguishability in Multi-photon Interference
Noah Crum, Md Mehdi Hassan, Adrien Green +1
The Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect is a quintessential process in various quantum information technologies and quantum optics applications. In this work, we investigate multi-photon i…
Experimental decoy-state asymmetric measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution over a turbulent high-loss channel
Kazi Reaz, Md Mehdi Hassan, Adrien Green +2
Real-world BB84 Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems utilize imperfect devices that introduce vulnerabilities to their security, known as side-channel attacks. Measurement-Device…
Experimental free-space quantum key distribution over a turbulent high-loss channel
Md Mehdi Hassan, Kazi Reaz, Adrien Green +2
Free-space quantum cryptography plays an integral role in realizing a global-scale quantum internet system. Compared to fiber-based communication networks, free-space networks expe…
Stochastic Security as a Performance Metric for Quantum-enhanced Generative AI
Noah A. Crum, Leanto Sunny, Pooya Ronagh +3
Motivated by applications of quantum computers in Gibbs sampling from continuous real-valued functions, we ask whether such algorithms can provide practical advantages for machine…
