Quantum Codeword Sensing

John Blue, Zachary E. Chin, Vlad S. Oros +1

Consider the task of identifying an unknown classical codeword delivered to a register of quantum sensor qubits through a sequence of weak phase interactions that each encode one b…

Forced Gap Post-Selection for Quantum LDPC Codes and their Operations

Adam Wills, Theodore J. Yoder, Isaac Chuang

We develop a simple and general post-selection strategy for high-rate quantum codes that is transferrable across decoders. After an initial baseline run, the decoder is re-run once…

Thermodynamic Irreversibility of Training Algorithms

Liu Ziyin, Yuanjie Ren, Adam Levine +1

The training algorithms for AI systems all introduce far-from-equilibrium dynamical processes, and understanding the irreversibility of these algorithms is a fundamental step towar…

Quantum Purity Amplification for Arbitrary Eigenstates and Multiple Outputs

Zhaoyi Li, Elias Theil, Aram W. Harrow +1

Quantum purity amplification (QPA) is the task of coherently transforming copies of a mixed state into high-fidelity copies of a chosen eigenstate. We develop a general theory…

An Exponential Sample-Complexity Advantage for Coherent Quantum Inference

Zhaoyi Li, Elias Theil, Aram W. Harrow +1

Standard quantum inference converts quantum data into classical outputs. We study an alternative inference setting in which the desired output is quantum. Such settings include qua…

A log-depth in-place quantum Fourier transform that rarely needs ancillas

Gregory D. Kahanamoku-Meyer, John Blue, Thiago Bergamaschi +2

When designing quantum circuits for a given unitary, it can be much cheaper to achieve a good approximation on most inputs than on all inputs. In this work we formalize this idea,…

Machine Learning Decoding of Circuit-Level Noise for Bivariate Bicycle Codes

John Blue, Harshil Avlani, Zhiyang He +2

Fault-tolerant quantum computers will depend crucially on the performance of the classical decoding algorithm which takes in the results of measurements and outputs corrections to…
