Reconstructing non-Abelian braiding and fusion without anyon transport
Lucy Byles, Matthew D. Horner, Benjamin T. H. Varcoe +1
Non-Abelian anyons offer a route to fault-tolerant and universal quantum computing, but experimental access to their defining braiding and fusion data remains limited by the resour…

Tensor network compression using fluid dynamics as a testbed: Analytical foundations in one dimension
Matthew D. Horner, Callum W. Duncan, Oliver T. Brown +2
High performance computers produce extreme-scale data sets that require sampling or compression if they are to be used to their full potential. Existing data compression techniques…

Mitigating the barren plateau problem in linear optics
Matthew D. Horner
We prove the existence of barren plateaus in variational quantum algorithms using linear optics with either bosonic or fermionic particles and demonstrate that fermionic linear opt…
