A Linear Algebraic Framework for Dynamic Scheduling Over Memory-Equipped Quantum Networks

Paolo Fittipaldi, Anastasios Giovanidis, Frédéric Grosshans

Quantum Internetworking is a recent field that promises numerous interesting applications, many of which require the distribution of entanglement between arbitrary pairs of users. This work deals with the problem of scheduling in an arbitrary entanglement swapping quantum network — often called first generation quantum network — in its general topology, multicommodity, loss-aware formulation. We introduce a linear algebraic framework that exploits quantum memory through the creation of intermediate entangled links. The framework is then employed to apply Lyapunov Drift Minimization (a standard technique in classical network science) to mathematically derive a natural class of scheduling policies for quantum networks minimizing the square norm of the user demand backlog. Moreover, an additional class of Max-Weight inspired policies is proposed and benchmarked, reducing significantly the computation cost at the price of a slight performance degradation. The policies are compared in terms of information availability, localization and overall network performance through an ad-hoc simulator that admits user-provided network topologies and scheduling policies in order to showcase the potential application of the provided tools to quantum network design.

Survey on Computational Applications of Tensor-Network Simulations

Marcos Diez García, A. M. Romero

Tensor networks are a popular and computationally efficient approach to simulate general quantum systems on classical computers and, in a broader sense, a framework for dealing with high-dimensional numerical problems. This paper presents a broad but not exhaustive literature review of state-of-the-art applications of tensor networks and related topics across many research domains, including: machine learning, mathematical optimization, materials science, quantum chemistry and quantum circuit simulation. This review aims to clarify which classes of relevant applications have been proposed for which class of tensor networks, as well as to highlight main application results and limitations compared with other classical or quantum simulation methods. We intend this review to be a high-level tour on tensor network applications that is easy to read by non-experts, so basic technical details of tensor networks are summarized.

Quantum network theory

Bernard Yurke, John S. Denker

A general approach, within the framework of canonical quantization, is described for analyzing the quantum behavior of complicated electronic circuits. This approach is capable of dealing with electrical networks having nonlinear or dissipative elements. The techniques are applied to circuits capable of generating squeezed-state or two-photon coherent-state signals. Circuits capable of performing back-action-evading electrical measurements are also discussed.
