Quantum-Computation and Quantum-Communication

Bhupesh Bishnoi

In this research notebook on quantum computation and quantum communication protocol for quantum engineers, researchers, and scientists, we will discuss and summarize the practical challenges of implementing quantum computing algorithms and quantum communication protocols in today's real-world hardware systems. We will begin the discussion about the noise and its effect on quantum coherence and the mathematical models to represent the impact of noise on the physical systems. Furthermore, we will discuss the basic concepts of noise that practically limit quantum computation and quantum communication. We will discuss several mathematical methods to characterize, model, and represent the practical impact of noise. Next, we will discuss how photon loss impacts quantum communication protocols. We will summarize the current physical limitations and challenges facing quantum computation and quantum communication over optical fiber. We will also discuss technology options that can mitigate or eliminate the physical limitations for realizing quantum computation and quantum communication protocol. Later we will consider the methods being developed to mitigate such losses in larger-scale communication systems. We will investigate the current limitations of quantum computing algorithms and the need to develop near-term practical applications that can be successfully performed on noisy qubits. We will also review the challenges associated with implementing algorithms on the relatively noisy, intermediate-scale qubits used in today's technology domain. Finally, we will investigate how to benchmark qubits and quantum gates in the presence of noise. We will discuss several methods to benchmark quantum states and quantum gates and finally implement benchmarking of qubits in a real physical quantum computer on the IBM Q Experience.

Spin Chain Quantum Communication on a Trapped-Ion Processor

Madhumita Sarkar, Trinity Pointon, Sougato Bose

Efficient communication between distant qubits is one of the central challenges in scaling quantum processors. Although engineered spin chain protocols have been extensively investigated theoretically, their experimental realization has remained comparatively limited. Here, we experimentally realize engineered quantum communication protocols through digitally simulated spin Hamiltonian on IonQ's Forte 1/ Forte Enterprise 1 trapped-ion quantum processor. Combining exact numerical simulations with quantum hardware experiments, we benchmark uniform nearest-neighbour and engineered coupling profiles and demonstrate that engineered interactions significantly enhance the fidelity of quantum state transfer. We further show that exploiting the commutation structure of the spin Hamiltonian enables a parallel Trotter decomposition that more faithfully reproduces the target dynamics while substantially reducing the circuit depth and execution time compared to the conventional sequential implementations. Our results demonstrate that programmable quantum processors can effectively realize and efficiently implement quantum communication protocols, bringing Hamiltonian-based quantum communication closer to practical quantum technologies.

A Programmable Photonic Chip for High-dimensional Quantum Computing

Jieshan Huang, Yulin Chi, Zhanchuan Zhang +3 more

Controlling and programming quantum devices to process quantum information by the unit of qudit provides the possibilities for noise-resilient quantum communications, delicate quantum molecular simulations, and efficient quantum computations, showing great potential to enhance the capabilities of qubit-based quantum technologies. Here, we report a programmable high-dimensional quantum processor in a silicon-photonic in-tegrated circuit, which monolithically integrates all the key functionalities and capabilities of initialisation, manipulation, and measurement of the two quantum quart (ququart) states, and demonstrate its enhancement of quantum computational paral-lelism. By reprogramming the processor, we implemented the basic quantum Fourier transform algorithms, all in quaternary, to benchmark the enhancement of quantum parallelism using qudits. The monolithic integration and high programmability have allowed the implementations of more than one million high-fidelity preparations, operations and projections of qudit states in the processor. Our work shows an integrated photonic quantum technology for qudit-based quantum computing with enhanced capacity, accuracy, and efficiency, which could lead to the acceleration of building a large-scale Quantum computer.
