From quantum time to manifestly covariant QFT: On the need for a quantum-action-based quantization

N. L. Diaz

In quantum time (QT) schemes, time is promoted to a degree of freedom, allowing Lorentz covariance to be made explicit for single particles. We ask whether this can be lifted to QF…

Group Fourier filtering of quantum resources in quantum phase space

Luke Coffman, N. L. Diaz, Martin Larocca +2

Recently, it has been shown that group Fourier analysis of quantum states, i.e., decomposing them into the irreducible representations (irreps) of a symmetry group, enables new way…

A unified approach to quantum resource theories and a new class of free operations

N. L. Diaz, Antonio Anna Mele, Pablo Bermejo +4

In quantum resource theories (QRTs) certain quantum states and operations are deemed more valuable than others. While the determination of the ``free'' elements is usually guided b…

Analyzing the free states of one quantum resource theory as resource states of another

Andrew E. Deneris, Paolo Braccia, Pablo Bermejo +3

In the context of quantum resource theories (QRTs), free states are defined as those which can be obtained at no cost under a certain restricted set of conditions. However, when ta…

Characterizing quantum resourcefulness via group-Fourier decompositions

Pablo Bermejo, Paolo Braccia, Antonio Anna Mele +4

In this work we present a general framework for studying the resourcefulness in pure states for quantum resource theories (QRTs) whose free operations arise from the unitary repres…

No-go theorems for sublinear-depth group designs

Maxwell West, Diego García-Martín, N. L. Diaz +2

Constructing ensembles of circuits which efficiently approximate the Haar measure over various groups is a long-standing and fundamental problem in quantum information theory. Rece…

Optimal Haar random fermionic linear optics circuits

Paolo Braccia, N. L. Diaz, Martin Larocca +2

Sampling unitary Fermionic Linear Optics (FLO), or matchgate circuits, has become a fundamental tool in quantum information. Such capability enables a large number of applications…

Does provable absence of barren plateaus imply classical simulability?

M. Cerezo, Martin Larocca, Diego García-Martín +9

A large amount of effort has recently been put into understanding the barren plateau phenomenon. In this perspective article, we face the increasingly loud elephant in the room and…

Showcasing a Barren Plateau Theory Beyond the Dynamical Lie Algebra

N. L. Diaz, Diego García-Martín, Sujay Kazi +2

Barren plateaus have emerged as a pivotal challenge for variational quantum computing. Our understanding of this phenomenon underwent a transformative shift with the recent introdu…
