"Keep the fight unfair": Military rhetoric in quantum technology
Emma McKay
Doing quantum ethics properly will require detailed socio-political analysis of the technologies and the organizations trying to build them. In this paper, I contribute to this tas…
Work distributions on quantum fields
Alvaro Ortega, Emma McKay, Álvaro M. Alhambra +1
We study the work cost of processes in quantum fields without the need of projective measurements, which are always ill defined in quantum field theory. Inspired by interferometry…
Fluctuations of work cost in optimal generation of correlations
Emma McKay, Nayeli A. Rodriguez-Briones, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We study the impact of work cost fluctuations on optimal protocols for the creation of correlations in quantum systems. We analyze several notions of work fluctuations to show that…
Finite sizes and smooth cutoffs in superconducting circuits
Emma McKay, Adrian Lupascu, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We investigate the validity of two common assumptions in the modelling of superconducting circuits: first, that the superconducting qubits are pointlike, and second, that the UV be…
Simulation of anyonic statistics and its topological path independence using a 7-qubit quantum simulator
Annie Jihyun Park, Emma McKay, Dawei Lu +1
Anyons, quasiparticles living in two-dimensional spaces with exotic exchange statistics, can serve as the fundamental units for fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, experim…
