$\mathcal{O}(n)$ alternative to Quantum Fourier Transform with efficient neural net classical post-processing

The Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) is required by hidden subgroup problem (HSP) algorithms, including Shor's algorithm for factoring. The circuit depth of the QFT remains challenging for near-term hardware. To find shallower alternatives we identify two properties that are exploited by the QFT to enable HSP. Firstly, the shift invariance of the QFT allows for the removal of a random overall shift. Secondly, the QFT retains information about the hidden subgroup generator accessible in the measurement outcomes. We quantify that information via the discrete Fisher information. We construct a family of shallow circuits using Hadamards and controlled-Phase gates, HP-$L$ circuits, that we prove preserve shift invariance. Numerical analysis shows these circuits retain exponentially growing Fisher information. The $\mathcal{O}(n)$ HP-$1$ can replace the $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$ QFT in Shor's algorithm, as demonstrated numerically, with an efficient neural network implementing classical post-processing.

Inverse linear versus exponential scaling of work penalty in finite-time bit reset

Bit reset is a basic operation in irreversible computing. This costs work and dissipates energy in the computer, creating a limit on speeds and energy efficiency of future irreversible computers. It was recently shown in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 190602 (2021)] that for a finite-time reset protocol, the additional work on top of the quasistatic protocol can always be minimized by considering a two-level system, and then be lower bounded through a thermodynamical speed limit. An important question is to understand under what protocol parameters, including bit reset error and maximum energy shift, this penalty decreases exponentially vs inverse linearly in the protocol time. Here we provide several analytical results to address this question, as well as numerical simulations of specific examples of protocols.

Universal Bound on Energy Cost of Bit Reset in Finite Time

We consider how the energy cost of bit reset scales with the time duration of the protocol. Bit reset necessarily takes place in finite time, where there is an extra penalty on top of the quasistatic work cost derived by Landauer. This extra energy is dissipated as heat in the computer, inducing a fundamental limit on the speed of irreversible computers. We formulate a hardware-independent expression for this limit in the framework of stochastic processes. We derive a closed-form lower bound on the work penalty as a function of the time taken for the protocol and bit reset error. It holds for discrete as well as continuous systems, assuming only that the master equation respects detailed balance.

Entanglement swapping in black holes: restoring predictability

Hawking's black hole evaporation process suggests that we may need to choose between quantum unitarity and other basic physical principles such as no-signalling, entanglement monogamy, and the equivalence principle. We here provide a quantum model for Hawking pair black hole evaporation within which these principles are all respected. The model does not involve exotic new physics, but rather uses quantum theory and general relativity. The black hole and radiation are in a joint superposition of different energy states at any stage of the evaporation process. In the particular branch where the black hole mass is 0, the radiation state is pure and one-to-one with the initial state forming the black hole. Thus there is no information loss upon full evaporation. The original Hawking's pair entanglement between infalling and outgoing particles gets transferred to outgoing particles via entanglement swapping, without violation of no-signalling or the entanglement's monogamy. The final state after the full black hole evaporation is pure, without loss of information, violation of monogamy, or the equivalence principle.

Unified Approach to Witness Nonentanglement-Breaking Quantum Channels

The ability of quantum devices to preserve or distribute entanglement is essential in employing quantum technologies. Such ability is described and guaranteed by the nonentanglement-breaking (nonEB) feature of participating quantum channels. For quantum information applications relying on entanglement, the certification of the nonEB feature is thus indispensable in designing, testing, and benchmarking quantum devices. Here, we develop a direct and operational approach for the certification of nonEB quantum channels. By utilizing the prepare-and-measure test, we derive a necessary and sufficient condition for witnessing nonEB channels, which is applicable in almost all experimental scenarios. The approach not only unifies and simplifies existing methods in the standard scenario and the measurement-device-independent scenario, but also goes further allowing for certifying the nonEB feature in the semi-device-independent scenario.
