Quantum Protocol Measures Particle Motion Without Extra Qubits - Quantum Zeitgeist

RIKEN researchers demonstrated high-accuracy parallel control of silicon spin qubits using a shared microwave line and a calibration method that reduces control errors. Pairwise phase calibrations helped maintain gate fidelities above 99.99% when operating up to three qubits simultaneously and approximately 99.9% across all five.

Silicon spin qubits are a promising platform for building scalable quantum computers as they are compatible with the semiconductor manufacturing technologies used to produce today's computer chips. However, they have an important weakness: silicon spin qubits typically lose accuracy when several qubits are under parallel control. To be useful, quantum computers will need to operate many qubits simultaneously without compromising the accuracy of their operations.

(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu, File) Apple’s first folding phone arrives in stores on Friday, bringing the advantages of a flexible display to iPhone loyalists. Such devices also have their own unique care and protection considerations.

Matias Ginzburg of Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati, Simone Rademacher of LMU Munich and Giacomo De Palma of University of Bologna have demonstrated a fundamental limitation in a widely used simplification of quantum dynamics. The researchers analytically solved a model of N bosonic qubits governed by a purely anti-Hermitian Hamiltonian, revealing that the standard mean-field Hartree approximation fails to accurately predict the system’s behavior as the number of qubits increases. This failure occurs even in the thermodynamic limit, challenging the validity of the Hartree approximation for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and potentially impacting a quantum algorithm designed to solve nonlinear differential equations. Their findings call for additional conditions to ensure the accuracy of mean-field models in bosonic many-body systems.
