Quantum memristor with vacuum–one-photon qubits

Quantum memristors represent a promising interface between quantum and neuromorphic computing, combining the nonlinear, memory-dependent behavior of classical memristors with the properties of quantum states. An optical quantum memristor can be realized with a vacuum–one-photon qubit entering a tunable beam splitter whose reflectivity is adapted according to the mean number of photons in the device. … Continua a leggere

“Quantum extreme learning machines for photonic entanglement witnessing”

The estimation of properties of quantum states — such as entanglement — is a core need for the development of quantum technologies, yet remaining a demanding challenge. Standard approaches to property estimation rely on the modeling of the measurement apparatus and, often, a priori assumptions on their working principles. Even small deviations can greatly affect … Continua a leggere

“Quantum Analog-to-Digital Converter for Phase Estimation”

Traditional quantum metrology assesses precision using the figures of merit of continuous-valued parameter estimation. Recently, quantum digital estimation was introduced: it evaluates the performance information theoretically by quantifying the number of significant bits of the parameter, redefining key benchmarks like the Heisenberg bound. Here, we report the first experimental realization of a Quantum Analog-to-Digital Converter … Continua a leggere

“Experimental randomness certification in a quantum network with independent sources”

Randomness certification is a foundational and practical aspect of quantum information science, essential for securing quantum communication protocols. Traditionally, these protocols have been implemented and validated with a single entanglement source, as in the paradigmatic Bell scenario. However, advancing these protocols to support more complex configurations involving multiple entanglement sources is key to building robust … Continua a leggere

“Quantum machine learning with Adaptive Boson Sampling via post-selection” published in Nature Communications

The implementation of large-scale universal quantum computation represents a challenging and ambitious task on the road to quantum processing of information. In recent years, an intermediate approach has been pursued to demonstrate quantum computational advantage via non-universal computational models. A relevant example for photonic platforms has been provided by the Boson Sampling paradigm and its … Continua a leggere
