  • A Gauge-Invariant Clustering Coefficient for Complex-Weighted Bipartite NetworksTier 3

    Structural measures such as the clustering coefficient and the average shortest-path length characterise how a network is organised. These measures are typically formulated for real, non-negative edge weights. A class of quantum and photonic architectures has complex edge weights instead, whose phases determine whether alternative routes interfere constructively or destructi...

  • From Solid-State Spin Defects to Fluorescent Proteins: A Perspective on Quantum Optical Sensing Platforms for Biomedical ApplicationsTier 3

    Quantum optical sensing has evolved from isolated solid state spin defect platforms to increasingly bio-integrated systems designed for biomedical applications. This review presents a perspective on this transition, spanning nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond to emerging fluorescent protein based spin qubits. Advances in diamond fabrication have enabled photonic cavities, n...

  • Quickly extracting fidelity decay rates in random circuit benchmarking experimentsTier 3

    Randomized benchmarking (RB) with structured circuits is experimentally scalable, but gives biased short-depth fidelity estimates because incomplete ensemble mixing introduces transient modes. Waiting for these transients to decay in deeper circuits can push the signal below the noise floor. This is a well-established obstacle, e.g. in linear cross-entropy benchmarking (LinX...

  • Deterministic generation of large-scale photonic GHZ states utilizing spin echo in a solid-state quantum light sourceTier 3

    Quantum technologies witness rapid contemporary developments transitioning from abstract scientific ideas and fundamental demonstrations, into systems of sufficient quality and scale, enabling real applications.

  • Entanglement entropy and magic of ZX-diagramsTier 3

    Entanglement and non-stabilizerness are complementary resources underlying the complexity of quantum states, yet extracting either quantity from large quantum circuits generally requires exponentially scaling resources. In diagrammatic approaches to quantum computation, such as the ZX-calculus, both quantities likewise typically require expensive tensor contractions that are...

  • Tuning a quantum computer: what a violin teaches us about qubit calibrationTier 2

    Insider brief Before a violinist plays a note, they tune. Each string is tightened or loosened until it sounds exactly right, and even then, temperature and humidity will pull it out of tune again before long. Quantum computers have the same problem, only far more acute. That was the starting point for the latest episode […]

  • Energy-constrained two-way capacities of the pure-loss channelTier 3

    We determine the two-way quantum and secret-key capacities of the pure-loss channel under an average input photon-number constraint. For transmissivity η and photon budget N, both capacities equal g(N)-g((1-η)N), where g is the entropy of a thermal state. This coincides with the rate achieved by the known reverse coherent information of a two-mode squeezed vacuum. Ou...
