“Variational quantum algorithm for experimental photonic multiparameter estimation” on npj Quantum Information

Variational quantum metrology represents a powerful tool for optimizing estimation strategies, resulting in particularly beneficial for multiparameter estimation problems, that often suffer from limitations due to the curse of dimensionality and computational complexity. To overcome these challenges, we develop a variational approach able to efficiently optimize a quantum multiphase sensor. Leveraging the reconfigurability of an … Continua a leggere

Photonic cellular automaton simulation of relativistic quantum fields: observation of Zitterbewegung

Quantum Cellular Automaton (QCA) is a model for universal quantum computation and a natural candidate for digital quantum simulation of relativistic quantum fields. Here we introduce the first photonic platform for implementing QCA-simulation of a free relativistic Dirac quantum field in 1+1 dimension, through a Dirac Quantum Cellular Automaton (DQCA). Encoding the field position degree … Continua a leggere

“Generation and characterization of polarization-entangled states using quantum dot single-photon sources” published on Quantum Science and Technology

Single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots find several applications in quantum information processing due to their high single-photon indistinguishability, on-demand generation, and low multiphoton emission. In this context, the generation of entangled photons represents a challenging task with a possible solution relying on the interference in probabilistic gates of identical photons emitted at different … Continua a leggere
