Now at #JapanEUWorkshop, Shuntaro Takeda on A strategy for large-scale optical quantum computing #LTQI
Shuntaro Takeda: use a deterministic approach, a loop to increase scalability. Determinism is brought by continuous variable (CV) system, which need 5 gates to be universal: 3 linear, squeezing and cubic gate (the hard one) #LTQI #JapanEUWorkshop
Shuntaro Takeda: both discrete CNOT and CV cubit gates need χ⁽³⁾ and are therefore difficult, but the latter is at least deterministic.

Now Erika Kawakami on Capacitive read-out of the Rydberg states towards the realization of a quantum computer
using electrons on helium
#LTQI #JapanEUWorkshop
Erika Kawakami: Why use electrons on helium? The system is clean: electrons float in vacuum, far prom nuclear spin and other charges. Electron qubits are 1µm away, which will be useful for surface codes #LTQI #JapanEUWorkshop
Erika Kawakami: The spin-state is used a qubit state, the rydberg states are auxiliary states. T₂=100 s for spin states. 1 qubit gates through ESR; 2-qubit gate using Coulomb interacton #LTQI #JapanEUWorkshop

Now, Carlo Reita on “Towards scalable silicon quantum computing” #LTQI
Carlo Reita‘s work is on quantum dots in Si. The initial state is easy to set using electrostatic gates. The manipulation and the readout are also done with elcetrostatic gates #LTQI
As a CMOS person, Carlo Reita is not scared by 100 millions of objects, all the same. We just need to find how to make a few of them. #LTQI

Now, Yoshihis Yamamoto on Physica of Quantum-toClassical Crossover and coherent Ising machines #LTQI
Yoshihisa Yamamoto : The goal is to build acelerators for combinatorial an continuous optimization problems. A traditonal quantum computer essentially uses a Grover algorithm and gets a quadratic improvement, but scaling essentailly remains exponential. #LTQI
Yoshihisa Yamamoto: One needs to use hueristic quantum machines, like a quantum neural network. He compares it to quantum annealers in arxiv:1805.05217 arxiv.org/abs/1805.05217 #LTQI

Now, Masahiro Kitagawa (Osaka University) on Room temperature nuclear hyperpolarization and quantum encoding for hyper-sensitive NMR and MRI
#LTQI
Masahiro Kitagawa: NMR/MRI sensitivity can be increased by a factor ×1000 by combining 3 quantum techniques:
1. Initialization:
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) using photoexcited triplet electron.
Masahiro Kitagawa: Triplet electron spins are excited with a laser, the electron couple to nuclear spin and then decay. One can then restart the cycle.
One can engineer the different relaxation pathways by deuterating the pentacene molecules #LTQI

Now, Frak Wlhelm-MAuch from @Saar_Uni on Quantum Computers in 2018.
@Saar_Uni Frank Wilhem-Mauch: Quantum simulation by Trotter uses many gates, and is currently undoable. Using an hybrid classical-quantum algorithm, the variational eigensolver is much better. #LTQI
@Saar_Uni Frank Wilhelm-Bauch want to use the same approachch in crystalline materials instead of molecules. He is not interested in the ground state, but the the time-ordered 2 points Green-function #LTQI

Seated for a seminar by Aephraim Steinberg grom @UofT : How to count one photon and get a result of 1000 – and other experiments on quantum measurement

#LTQI
@UofT Aephraim Steinberg’s main question: “Can we ask what a particle was doing before we observed it?”
E.g., a particle can be in one of 3 boxes A, B, C, prepared in superposition A+B. Postselected on a measurement finding it in B+C, what was its probability to be in A?

#LTQI
@UofT Aephraim Steinberg answer below:

0, because of the psot-selection

Now seated for a seminar by Zizhu Wang (王子竹) on
Entanglement and Nonlocality in Infinite 1D Systems (joint work with Sukhwinder Singh, and Miguel Navascués)
arXiv:1608.03485 arxiv.org/abs/1608.03485 / Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 230401 (2017)
doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…
Zizhu Wang looks at symmetrisation techniques to move between condense-matter n-body systems with no symmetry and infinite translation invariant systems. This procedure works when one only has access to local information
#LTQI
Zizhu Wang now look at the classical marginal problem: Does a finite distribution P(A₁, A₂, …, A_n) come from a translation invariant distribution ? Yes iff P_{A₁…A_{n-1}}(a₁,…,a_{n-1}) = P_{A₂…A_{n}}(a₁,…,a_{n-1})

#LTQI
Rafał Demkowicz-Dobrzański seez quantum metrology as a channel estimation problem. The channel U_φ is given, one optimizes the state sent and the measurement.
#LTQI #MCQS
Rafał Demkowicz-Dobrzański: The Cramer-Rao bount gives limit on the variance Δ²φ≥1/F of an unbiased estimator., where F is the (Quantum or classical) Fisher information, defined in term of derivatives of probability/kets over φ

#LTQI
@ENSAEParisTech Cristina Butucea defines an experiment (Ω, A, P) : a measurable space together with a family of probability distributions. Together with Markov Kernels, it allows to define Le Cam‘s distance
#LTQI #MCQS
@ENSAEParisTech Cristinea Butucea: Two sequences P₁,n , P₂,n are asymptotically equivalent if their distance →0, which implies thatn many asymptotic risk bound for tests, estimators etc. carry over from a model to the other

@ucl @UniofOxford Andrea Rocchetto defines the PAC (porbabilistically aproximate correct) models, and defines the concept of PAC-learnable: a concept is PAC-learnable iff one can guess a good model for arbitrary input distributions
#LTQI #MCQS
@ucl @UniofOxford Andrea Rocchetto: PAC learning on quantum states. The goal is to guess σ havig the same probability ditribution under a binary POVM than the training set ρ. Aaronson proved in 2007 that the problem is really different from tomography. #LTQI #MCQS

Now at #MCQS, Valentina Parigi from @lkb_lab on Reconfigurable optical implementation of quantum complex networks
#LTQI
@lkb_lab .@vparigi81’s synchonously pumped OPO (SPOPO) leads to a complex multimode entanglement structure. She then uses multimode homodyne detection to characterize the corresponding 16-mode covariance matrix.
Eigenmodes found from diagonalization are Hermite-Gauss modes
#LTQI #MCQS
@lkb_lab @vparigi81 .@vparigi: showed that all 151k+ partitions of 10 frequency modes are not separable: we are indeed in a multipartite entanglement case.

Now Chiara Machiavello from@unipv on “Witnessing quantum capcities of noisy communication channels”
#LTQI #MCQS
Chiara Machiavello: a channel has several capacities:
The classical capacity C,
Entanglement assisted classcial capacity C_E,
P private capacity: negligile info can be obtained by a third party
and
Q: Quantum capacity
#LTQI #MCQS
Chiara Machiavello computes Q:
Channel described by CPTP map ℰ₁, N uses ℰ₁^⊗N

Q=lim Q_N/N, N→∞
Q_N=max_ρ Ic(ρ,ℰ_N) (coherent information)
Ic(ρ,ℰ)=S(ℰ(ρ))-S(ℰ,ρ), where the latter is the entropy exchange

#LTQI #MCQS
@GerardoAdesso @UniofNottingham .@GerardoAdesso : But is this the ultimate limit? We need quantum estimation theory, and the quantum Cramér-Rao bound for that. #LTQI #MCQS

@UofR Andrew Jordan looks at ways to monitor qubit fluorescence through photon counting or heterodyne measurements. He also investigate tomography techniques, and how to optimize the control parameters
#LTQI #MCQS
@UofR Andrew Jordan applies i tot a continuous syndrome measurement of the three qubit quantum error correcting code, by a continuous gaussian parity read-out. It (among other advantages) allows to work without an ancilla qubit.

#LTQI
@lkb_lab Young-Sik Ra creates multimode squeezed vacua by pumping an OPO with a multimode pump (a frequency comb with ∼10⁵ modes)
#LTQI
Young-Sik Ra‘s key operation ins single photon subtraction : â|n⟩=√n|n–1⟩.
