Competition between memory-keeping and memory-erasing decoherence channels

Tony J. G. Apollaro, Salvatore Lorenzo, Carlo Di Franco +2

We study the competing effects of simultaneous Markovian and non-Markovian decoherence mechanisms acting on a single spin. We show the existence of a threshold in the relative stre…

Localization-like effect in two-dimensional alternate quantum walks with periodic coin operations

Carlo Di Franco, Mauro Paternostro

Exploiting multi-dimensional quantum walks as feasible platforms for quantum computation and quantum simulation is attracting constantly growing attention from a broad experimental…

Experimental realisation of a delayed-choice quantum walk

Youn-Chang Jeong, Carlo Di Franco, Hyang-Tag Lim +2

Many paradoxes of quantum mechanics come from the fact that a quantum system can possess different features at the same time, such as in wave-particle duality or quantum superposit…

Measurement-induced generation of spatial entanglement in a two-dimensional quantum walk with single-qubit coin

C. Di Franco, M. Mc Gettrick, T. Machida +1

One of the proposals for the exploitation of two-dimensional quantum walks has been the efficient generation of entanglement. Unfortunately, the technological effort required for t…

Glued trees algorithm under phase damping

J. Lockhart, C. Di Franco, M. Paternostro

We study the behaviour of the glued trees algorithm described by Childs et al. in [STOC `03, Proc. 35th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing (2004) 59] under decoherence. We consid…
