Now, at IWQNS, Sara Mouradian from @Berkeley_ions on Engineering Quantum Networks
#LTQI IWQNS
@Berkeley_ions Sara Mouradian did her PhD on NV centers, and now works on ion traps.
A single photon detected from two NV⁻ centers allows to prepare them in entangled state. Her NV's are at 10K. Current rate of entanglement is limite to much less than spin coherence time
#LTQI #IWQNS
@Berkeley_ions Sara Mouradian put her NVs in photonic crystal (diamond) cavities to improve entanglement rate. Her cavity has Q>14,000, but NVs are then close to surfaces, which broadens noise.

Now at #IWQNS, Saikat Guha from @UoA on photonic quantum computing with discrete variable cluster states
#LTQI
@uoa Saikat Guha’s approach is on the “where is my photon ?” approach, based on progressive fusion of clusters. But
we do not understand the fundamental limits of corresponding measurement.
#LTQI #IWQNS
@uoa Saikat Guha: these measurement can be used to assemble small cluster states into greater lattices. Then percolation allows to expand this. He then gives several lattices with different thresholds, from .58 to .74 #LTQI #IWQNS

Prithwish Bashu: Modern networks are not like internet in the 1970s. They’re no longer nice graphs, but now some king of hypergraphs with a mishmash of technologies.
#IWQNS #LTQI
Prithwish Basu: look at multi-hop routing in ad-hoc wirelss networks. Scheduling can be used to limit interference. In these networks, routing and scheduling cannot really be looking independently. #LTQI #IWQNS

@IFISC_mallorca Roberta Zambrini: classical complex networks are used to study the phenomenon of spontaneous synchronization. It has been recently generalized into the quantum regime
#LTQI #IWQNS
@IFISC_mallorca Roberta Zambini: The synchronization is induced by a dissipation. Two coupled squeezed harmonic oscillators need collective dissipation to become synchronized. (independent dissipation doesn’t lead to sync)

@UTokyo_News_en Mio Murao ([村尾 美緒) uses quantum computer to understand physics. What we can do do and what we cannot do are physics problems.
#LTQI
@UTokyo_News_en Mio Murao ([村尾 美緒) more specificely looks at maps of maps: The computer F takes as input a map f (e.g. given as a black box) and a quanutm state ρ and outputs F(f)(ρ).
Here we restrict ourseves to unitary f=U, and F(U)=V also unitary.

Seated for a talk by Mathieu Bozzio, on "Towards trusting your local Franprix's payment terminal..." a.k.a. “Money money money, must be funny, in a quantum world !”.

Joint work with Eleni Diamanti and myself, arXiv:1812.09256 arxiv.org/abs/1812.09256
#LTQI
Mathieu Bozzio: in the 1970s, Stephen Wiesner invented a quantum banknotes scheme, with security based on the no-cloning theorem.
Mint→Client→Bank

For quantum credit cards, there is classical communication between the Merchant and Bank:
Mint→Client→Merchant→Bank
#LTQI
Mathieu Bozzio’s approach : the attack cooresponds ti minimizing losses & error using convex optimization. To be practical, we use coherent states, with the following mapping
|0⟩→|α⟩⊗|vac⟩ ; |1⟩→|vac⟩⊗|α⟩
|±⟩→|α/√2⟩⊗|±α/√2⟩
|±i⟩→|α/√2⟩⊗|±iα/√2⟩

Now seated for a seminar by Antoine Grospellier, from @inria_paris, on Constant overhead quantum fault-tolerance with quantum expander codes.

Associated paper: arXiv:1808.03821 arxiv.org/abs/1808.03821
#LTQI
@inria_paris Antoine Gropellier recalls the principle of quantum fault tolerance with concateneated Steane codes. Without correction, with error probability p, a circuit C, |C| gates and m qubits, Pr(wrong output)≤p|C|,
With code, 7m qubits, ≤c₀|C| gates, Pr(wrong)≤cp²|C|
#LTQI
@inria_paris Antoine Grospellier: with n iteration, 7ⁿm qubits, ≤c₀ⁿ|C| gates, Pr(Wrong)≤|C| (cp)^2ⁿ /c
This doubly exponenetial scaling of the error translates into a polylog(ε) scaling of the space overhead with the errors.
Ou main interest here is thii overhead

Seated for a seminar by Francesco Arzani on his work with Nicolas Treps and Giulia Ferrini on
Polynomial approximation of non-Gaussian unitaries by counting one photon at a time (arXiv:/1703.06693 arxiv.org/abs/1703.06693 / PRA 95 052352 dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… )
#LTQI
Francesco Arzani: It’s difficult to define computation in a continuous variable (CV) set-up. People usually chose specific encoding of qubits. But Francesco (and myself!) finds encoding independent definitions more interesting.
#LTQI
Francesco Arzani: we are interested in the transformation exp(i H(q,p)).
A universal state should be bale to approximate any polynomial hamiltonian. arXiv:quant-ph/9810082 arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9… / PRL 82 1784 doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe… gave an example with quadratic gates + 1 cubic

Seth Lloyd from @MIT is visiting us at LIP6 and presents his work with András Gilyén (from @QuSoftAmsterdam ) and @ewintang (from @UW) on Quantum-inspired low-rank stochastic regression with logarithmic dependence on the dimension arXiv:1811.04909 arxiv.org/abs/1811.04909
#LTQI
@MIT @QuSoftAmsterdam @ewintang @UW Seth Lloyd: presents the recommendation problem. For m users, n movies, a n×m matrix A encodes the movie preferences. The goal is to recommend movies a user likes, given their previous preferences.
A is assumed to be low rank (the rank is the effective number of genres).
#LTQI
@MIT @QuSoftAmsterdam @ewintang @UW Seth Lloyd: The @netflix way to solve this problem is through singular value decomposition of matrix A.

A=∑_l σ_l U^l V^l ^T
σ_l: singular values
U^l and V^l are left/right singular vectors
A V^l= σ_l U^l V^l
In short V^l^T b = p_l encodes weighted preference for genre l

#LTQI
Niraj Kumar introduces the Simultaneous Message PAssing Model (SMP) (i.e. with a referee) to solve the Euclidean distance.
Classical complexity= Ω(√n)
Quantum Complexity=O(log n)
The quantum algorithm uses C-Swap to sample ½(1- |⟨x|y⟩|²

#LTQI
Niraj Kumar: Controlled SWAP are not realistic in the near term. @ixfoduap and Lutkehaus in 20114 found a way to map it to sequential coherent pulses interaction on a 50:50 beamsplitter and single photon detectors.

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.
