Experimental Validation of Enhanced Information Capacity by Quantum Switch in Accordance with Thermodynamic Laws

Cheng Xi, Xiangjing Liu, Hongfeng Liu +6

We experimentally probe the interplay of the quantum switch with the laws of thermodynamics. The quantum switch places two channels in a superposition of orders and may be applied…

Bound on annealing performance from stochastic thermodynamics, with application to simulated annealing

Yutong Luo, Yi-Zheng Zhen, Xiangjing Liu +2

Annealing is the process of gradually lowering the temperature of a system to guide it towards its lowest energy states. In an accompanying paper [Luo et al. Phys. Rev. E 108, L052…

General limit to thermodynamic annealing performance

Yutong Luo, Yi-Zheng Zhen, Xiangjing Liu +2

Annealing has proven highly successful in finding minima in a cost landscape. Yet, depending on the landscape, systems often converge towards local minima rather than global ones.…

Thermodynamics of quantum switch information capacity activation

Xiangjing Liu, Daniel Ebler, Oscar Dahlsten

We address a new setting where the second law is under question: thermalizations in a quantum superposition of causal orders, enacted by the so-called quantum switch. This superpos…

Quantum advantage in training binary neural networks

Yidong Liao, Daniel Ebler, Feiyang Liu +1

The performance of a neural network for a given task is largely determined by the initial calibration of the network parameters. Yet, it has been shown that the calibration, also r…

Quantum communication in a superposition of causal orders

Sina Salek, Daniel Ebler, Giulio Chiribella

Quantum mechanics allows for situations where the relative order between two processes is entangled with a quantum degree of freedom. Here we show that such entanglement can enhanc…
