Quantum circuits with classical versus quantum control of causal order

J Wechs, H Dourdent, AA Abbott, C Branciard - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS

operations. It is known that quantum supermaps which respect a definite, predefined causal …

[HTML][HTML] Communication through coherent control of quantum channels

AA Abbott, J Wechs, D Horsman, M Mhalla… - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
A completely depolarising quantum channel always outputs a fully mixed state and thus
cannot transmit any information. In a recent Letter [3], it was however shown that if a …

superposition of alternative configurations can boost their ability to transmit information …

Noisy quantum metrology with the assistance of indefinite causal order

F Chapeau-Blondeau - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
A generic qubit unitary operator affected by depolarizing noise is duplicated and inserted in
a quantum switch process, realizing a superposition of causal orders. The characterization …

Computational advantage from the quantum superposition of multiple temporal orders of photonic gates

MM Taddei, J Cariñe, D Martínez, T García, N Guerrero… - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
