Empirical Sample Complexity of Neural Network Mixed State Reconstruction

Giuseppe Carleo, Filippo Vicentini, Haimeng Zhao

Quantum state reconstruction using Neural Quantum States has been proposed as a viable tool to reduce quantum shot complexity in practical applications, and its advantage over competing techniques has been shown in numerical experiments focusing mainly on ...

Investigation of room-temperature single-photon emitters in GaN-based materials and GaN/AlN quantum dots

Johann Nicolaï Stachurski

Over the past decade, quantum photonics platforms aiming at harnessing the fundamental properties of single particles, such as quantum superposition and quantum entanglement, have flourished. In this context, single-photon emitters capable of operating at ...

Dynamical nuclear polarization for dissipation-induced entanglement in NV centers

Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux, Shashwat Kumar, Géraldine Haack, Shishir Khandelwal

We propose a practical implementation of a two-qubit entanglement engine which denotes a scheme to generate quantum correlations through purely dissipative processes. On a diamond platform, the electron spin transitions of two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Emergent non-Hermitian localization phenomena in the synthetic space of zero-dimensional bosonic systems

Fabrizio Minganti

Phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems are at the focus of cutting edge theoretical and experimental research. On the one hand, parity-time- (PT-) and anti-PT-symmetric physics have gained ever-growing interest, due to the existence of non-Hermitian sp ...

Strongly correlated Fermions strongly coupled to light

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi

Strong quantum correlations in matter are responsible for some of the most extraordinary properties of materials, from magnetism to high-temperature superconductivity, but their integration in quantum devices requires a strong, coherent coupling with photo ...

Optospintronics in Graphene via Proximity Coupling

Andras Kis, Oriol López Sánchez, Ahmet Avsar, Dmitrii Unuchek

The observation of micrometer size spin relaxation makes graphene a promising material for applications in spintronics requiring long-distance spin communication. However, spin dependent scatterings at the contact/graphene interfaces affect the spin inject ...

Studies of Sensor Data Interpretation for Asset Management of the Built Environment

Ian Smith

Sensing in the built environment has the potential to reduce asset management expenditure and contribute to extending useful service life. In the built environment, measurements are usually performed indirectly; effects are measured remote from their cause ...

Spatial Multiplexing of QPSK Signals With a Single Radio: Antenna Design and Over-the-Air Experiments

Juan Ramon Mosig, Andreas Peter Burg, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Mohsen Yousefbeiki, Andrew Charles Mallory Austin

This paper describes the implementation and performance analysis of the first fully operational beam-space multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna for the spatial multiplexing of two QPSK streams. The antenna is composed of a planar three-port radiat ...

Competition between three-sublattice order and superfluidity in the quantum three-state Potts model of ultracold bosons and fermions on a square optical lattice

Frédéric Mila

We study a quantum version of the three-state Potts model that includes as special cases the effective models of bosons and fermions on the square lattice in the Mott-insulating limit. It can be viewed as a model of quantum permutations with amplitudes J(p ...

Probabilistic Model Falsification for Infrastructure Diagnosis

James-Alexandre Goulet

Most infrastructure in the western world was built in the second half of the 20th century. Transportation structures, water distribution networks and energy production systems are now aging and this leads to safety and serviceability issues. In situations ...

Three-sublattice order in the SU(3) Heisenberg model on the square and triangular lattice

Frédéric Mila, Karlo Penc

We present a numerical study of the SU(3) Heisenberg model of three-flavor fermions on the triangular and square lattice by means of the density-matrix renormalization group and infinite projected entangled-pair states. For the triangular lattice we confir ...

Hedging Your Bets by Learning Reward Correlations in the Human Brain

Human subjects are proficient at tracking the mean and variance of rewards and updating these via prediction errors. Here, we addressed whether humans can also learn about higher-order relationships between distinct environmental outcomes, a defining ecolo ...
