We present a scheme of positioning a single electron spin with sub-nanometer resolution through multiple nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. With unwanted noise suppressed by dynamical decoupling, the spin coherence of each center develops characteristic oscillations due to a single electron spin located $4{\sim20}$ ...
The Knill-Laflamme (KL) conditions distinguish exact quantum error correction codes, and it has played a critical role in the discovery of state-of-the-art codes. However, the family of exact codes is a very restrictive one and does not necessarily contain the best-performing codes.
We propose an efficient scheme for generating photonic NOON states of two resonators coupled to a four-level superconducting flux device. This proposal operates essentially by employing a technique of a coupler device resonantly interacting with two resonators simultaneously.
We analyze theoretically the entanglement between two non-planar and light identical molecules (e.g., pyramidal as $NH_3$) that present inversion doubling due to the internal spatial inversion of their nuclear conformations by tunneling. The peculiarity of this system lies in the simplicity of this type of molecular s...

We discuss the construction of $n$-qubit pure states with maximum bipartite entanglement across all possible choices of $k$ vs $n-k$ bi-partitioning, which implies that the Von Neumann entropy of every $k$-qubit reduced density matrix corresponding to this state should be $k \ln 2 $. Such states have been referred to ...

We introduce action quantum speed limits (QSLs) as a family of bounds on the minimal time to connect two states that, unlike the usual geometric approach, crucially depend on how the path is traversed, i.e. on the instantaneous speed. The two approaches provide consistent bounds when the instantaneous speed is optimiz...

Here I present a method how intersections of a certain density matrix of rank two with the zero-polytope can be calculated exactly. This is a purely geometrical procedure which thereby is applicable to obtaining the zeros of SL- and SU-invariant entanglement measures of arbitrary polynomial degree.
A bipartite state is called lazy if the entropy rate of one subsystem is vanishing for any coupling to the other subsystem. In this paper, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite-dimensional bipartite state to be lazy, and prove that a two-mode Gaussian state is lazy if and only if it is a direct ...

Recently a generalized mean-field approximation for this non-Hermitian many-particle system yielding an alternative complex ...
First-quantized, real-space formulations of quantum chemistry on quantum computers are appealing: qubit count scales logarithmically with spatial resolution, and Coulomb operators achieve quadratic instead of quartic computational scaling of two-electron interactions. However, existing schemes employ uniform discretiz...
