However, only a handful of elementary quantum networks have been realized to date. I will present recent results from our prototype network, in which two calcium ions are entangled with one another over a distance of 230 m, via a 520 m optical fiber channel linking two buildings.

new As a cornerstone for many quantum linear algebraic and quantum machine learning algorithms, controlled quantum state preparation (CQSP) aims to provide the transformation of $|irangle |0^nrangle to |irangle |psi_irangle $ for all $iin {0,1}^k$ for the given $n$-qubit states $|psi_irangle$. In this paper, we construct a quantum circuit for implementing CQSP, with depth $Oleft(n+k+frac{2^{n+k}}{n+k+m}right)$ and size $O(2^{n+k})$ for any given number $m$ of ancillary qubits. These bounds, which can also be viewed as a time-space tradeoff for the transformation, are optimal for any integer parameters $m,kge 0$ and $nge 1$. When $k=0$, the problem becomes the canonical quantum state preparation (QSP) problem with ancillary qubits, which asks for efficient implementations of the transformation $|0^nrangle|0^mrangle to |psirangle |0^mrangle$. This problem has many applications with many investigations, yet its circuit complexity remains open. Our construction completely solves this problem, pinning down its depth complexity to $Theta(n+2^{n}/(n+m))$ and its size complexity to $Theta(2^{n})$ for any $m$. Another fundamental problem, unitary synthesis, asks to implement a general $n$-qubit unitary by a quantum circuit. Previous work shows a lower bound of $Omega(n+4^n/(n+m))$ and an upper bound of $O(n2^n)$ for $m=Omega(2^n/n)$ ancillary qubits. In this paper, we quadratically shrink this gap by presenting a quantum circuit of the depth of $Oleft(n2^{n/2}+frac{n^{1/2}2^{3n/2}}{m^{1/2}}~~right)$. — CoinGenius, 1d ago

new The time-marching strategy, which propagates the solution from one time step to the next, is a natural strategy for solving time-dependent differential equations on classical computers, as well as for solving the Hamiltonian simulation problem on quantum computers. For more general homogeneous linear differential equations $frac{mathrm{d}}{mathrm{d} t} |psi(t)rangle = A(t) |psi(t)rangle, |psi(0)rangle = |psi_0rangle$, a time-marching based quantum solver can suffer from exponentially vanishing success probability with respect to the number of time steps and is thus considered impractical. We solve this problem by repeatedly invoking a technique called the uniform singular value amplification, and the overall success probability can be lower bounded by a quantity that is independent of the number of time steps. The success probability can be further improved using a compression gadget lemma. This provides a path of designing quantum differential equation solvers that is alternative to those based on quantum linear systems algorithms (QLSA). We demonstrate the performance of the time-marching strategy with a high-order integrator based on the truncated Dyson series. The complexity of the algorithm depends linearly on the amplification ratio, which quantifies the deviation from a unitary dynamics. We prove that the linear dependence on the amplification ratio attains the query complexity lower bound and thus cannot be improved in the worst case. This algorithm also surpasses existing QLSA based solvers in three aspects: (1) $A(t)$ does not need to be diagonalizable. (2) $A(t)$ can be non-smooth, and is only of bounded variation. (3) It can use fewer queries to the initial state $|psi_0rangle$. Finally, we demonstrate the time-marching strategy with a first-order truncated Magnus series, which simplifies the implementation compared to high-order truncated Dyson series approach, while retaining the aforementioned benefits. Our analysis also raises some open questions concerning the differences between time-marching and QLSA based methods for solving differential equations. — CoinGenius, 1d ago
