Quantum Information Science: An Update

L. C. Kwek, Freddy Permana Zen

It is now roughly thirty years since the incipient ideas on quantum information science was concretely formalized. Over the last three decades, there has been much development in this field, and at least one technology, namely devices for quantum cryptography, is now commercialized. Yet, the holy grail of a workable quantum computing machine still lies faraway at the horizon. In any case, it took nearly several centuries before the vacuum tubes were invented after the first mechanical calculating were constructed, and several decades later, for the transistor to bring the current computer technology to fruition. In this review, we provide a short survey of the current development and progress in quantum information science. It clearly does not do justice to the amount of work in the past thirty years. Nevertheless, despite the modest attempt, this review hopes to induce younger researchers into this exciting field.

A review on quantum computing

Sandeep Kumar

Quantum computing is an emerging paradigm that exploits principles of quantum mechanics—such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling—to process information in ways that classical computers cannot. Rapid progress in quantum hardware, quantum algorithms, and error-correction research suggests transformative potential across fields such as cryptography, optimization, materials science, and machine learning. This review summarizes fundamental concepts, leading hardware platforms, algorithmic milestones, current challenges, and future trajectories in the development of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Chip-based quantum key distribution

L. C. Kwek, Lin Cao, Wei Luo +4 more

Abstract Quantum key distribution is a matured quantum science and technology. Over the last 20 years, there has been substantial research and development in this area. Recently, silicon technology has offered tremendous promise in the field for improved miniaturization of quantum key distribution through integrated photonic chips. We expect further progress in this area both in terms of protocols, photon sources, and photon detectors. This review captures some of the recent advances in this area.

Variational algorithms for quantum machine learning

Filippo Orazi

In recent years, we have observed a new revolution in computer science, driven by the increasing availability of computational power and data. This historic event has seen the capillary diffusion of what is commonly known as artificial intelligence (AI). In particular, we have seen a rapid improvement of large language models that now can interact with people on a level that appeared impossible just a few years ago. Despite this newly found focus on AI and computer science, the technical difficulties that limit the increase in computational power are increasing, and the prediction described by Moore's law no longer holds. For this reason physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and engineers are studying another computational paradigm called quantum computing. Similar to the rise of large language models, quantum computing has gained significant attention in the last ten years due to the development of initial quantum hardware and its rapid advancements. The quantum computing paradigm offers a fundamentally different set of tools with respect to what is called classical computation. Quantum properties and effects like superposition, entanglement, and interference give us the ability to solve problems that we could not approach classically. In this thesis, we explore the intersection between artificial intelligence and quantum computing from an experimental point of view. We researched quantum AI models, utilizing both the classical and quantum paradigms using variational architectures. This thesis is organized as follows: part 1 contains an introduction to quantum computation, starting from the postulate of quantum mechanics, through an introduction to QML and finally the state of the art. Part 2 contains the description of the research we performed. It's divided into two main chapters containing fundamentally different approaches to quantum computing. Each chapter contains section illustrating our research on that approach.
