Improved classical simulation of quantum circuits dominated by Clifford gates

S Bravyi, D Gosset - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We present a new algorithm for classical simulation of quantum circuits over the Clifford+ T
gate set. The runtime of the algorithm is polynomial in the number of qubits and the number …

Ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: mimicking condensed matter physics and beyond

M Lewenstein, A Sanpera, V Ahufinger… - Advances in …, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in
optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard …

Quantum error correction with the toric Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code

C Vuillot, H Asasi, Y Wang, LP Pryadko, BM Terhal - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We examine the performance of the single-mode Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code and
its concatenation with the toric code for a noise model of Gaussian shifts, or displacement …

Entanglement in graph states and its applications

M Hein, W Dür, J Eisert, R Raussendorf… - Quantum computers …, 2006 - ebooks.iospress.nl
The recognition of the key role entanglement plays in the understanding of the radical
departure of quantum from classical physics came historically remarkably late. In the early …

Direct randomized benchmarking for multiqubit devices

TJ Proctor, A Carignan-Dugas, K Rudinger, E Nielsen… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
Benchmarking methods that can be adapted to multiqubit systems are essential for
assessing the overall or “holistic” performance of nascent quantum processors. The current …

Hudson's theorem for finite-dimensional quantum systems

D Gross - Journal of mathematical physics, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
We show that, on a Hilbert space of odd dimension, the only pure states to possess a non-
negative Wigner function are stabilizer states. The Clifford group is identified as the set of …

Evenly distributed unitaries: On the structure of unitary designs

D Gross, K Audenaert, J Eisert - Journal of mathematical physics, 2007 - pubs.aip.org
We clarify the mathematical structure underlying unitary t-designs. These are sets of unitary
matrices, evenly distributed in the sense that the average of any t th order polynomial over …

Entanglement purification and quantum error correction

W Dür, HJ Briegel - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We give a review on entanglement purification for bipartite and multipartite quantum states,
with the main focus on the theoretical work carried out by our group in the last couple of …

Symmetric informationally complete–positive operator valued measures and the extended Clifford group

DM Appleby - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
We describe the structure of the extended Clifford group [defined to be the group consisting
of all operators, unitary and antiunitary, which normalize the generalized Pauli group (or …

Probing quantum processor performance with pyGSTi

E Nielsen, K Rudinger, T Proctor, A Russo… - Quantum science …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
PyGSTi is a Python software package for assessing and characterizing the performance of
quantum computing processors. It can be used as a standalone application, or as a library …
