Abstract

Logical CCZ states enable Toffoli gates, a central building block of fault-tolerant quantum arithmetic. We introduce an end-to-end protocol for direct CCZ-state preparation on bivariate tricycle and bicycle (BT/BB) codes. Our factory combines the cup-product CCZ gates native to BT codes with two novel ingredients, both enabled by engineering the logical coupling between BT and BB codes through projection-preserving lifts. Index-2 lifted BB ancillas enable selective $Z$-basis initialization, allowing the native cup-product gates to directly prepare two disjoint logical CCZ states. The prepared CCZ states are faithfully transferred to index-3 lifted BB memories with high code distance. We use decoder-based postselection to obtain high-fidelity output states with low overhead. We perform exact simulations of our factory under a circuit-level noise model motivated by neutral-atom hardware, obtaining joint infidelities of $1.84\times10^{-5}$ at $21.94\%$ acceptance and $4.10\times10^{-7}$ at $8.89\%$ acceptance for single-qubit, CZ, and CCZ error rates of $0.01\%$, $0.1\%$, and $0.5\%$, respectively. At the output-infidelity target of our smallest factory, its estimated spacetime cost per CCZ state is lower than that of $T$-state cultivation followed by CCZ conversion, providing an efficient route to logical CCZ states for fault-tolerant quantum computation.

The work here enables a cost scaling of $\tilde{O}\left( \frac{T ^{1+o(1)}\,{\rm log}^2 (1/ε)}{\varepsilon}\right)$ and maximum depth $\tilde{O}\left( \frac{T^{1+o(1)}\,{\rm log} (1/ε)}{\varepsilon}\right)$ for estimating observables after some Hamiltonian evolution $e^{i H T}$ using no extra block-encoding qubits, where $ε$ is the algorithmic error of the target Hamiltonian evolution and $\varepsilon$ is the statistical error from the observable estimation. Throughout, $\tilde{O}$ suppresses factors that are doubly logarithmic in $1/ε$ (i.e. ${\rm polyloglog}(1/ε)$), which are subdominant to the displayed ${\rm polylog}(1/ε)$ factors. This is achieved through product formulas, stable interpolation (Chebyshev), and to calculate the needed fractional queries, cardinal sine interpolation is used. This is an improvement over similar work using interpolation methods which have a superlinear scaling of the form $5^p T^{1+1/p}$, where $p$ is the order of the product formula used and an improvement on required qubits over Quantum Signal Processing methods while maintaining scaling with ${\rm polylog}{1/ε}$. This is accomplished through an optimized and variable (with $T$) order $p$. The slightly better $\log^2(1/ε)$ compared to $\log^3(1/ε)$ comes from the use of cardinal sine interpolation compared to other methods using Chebyshev interpolation and product formulas. The work presented here also provides an alternative to Quantum Signal Processing techniques to calculate observables or amplitudes after a fractional query evolution with a cost $O(T\log{1/ε})$ through this cardinal sine interpolation.

Relativistic generalization of Feynman's path integral on the basis of extended Lagrangians

In the extended Lagrange formalism of classical point dynamics, the system's dynamics is parametrized along a system evolution parameter $s$, and the physical time $t$ is treated as a \emph{dependent} variable $t(s)$ on equal footing with all other configuration space variables $q^{i}(s)$. In the action principle, the conventional classical action $L dt$ is then replaced by the generalized action $L_{e}ds$. A direct reparametrization of the conventional action yields an extended Lagrangian that is homogeneous of degree one in the velocities. A regular extended Lagrangian that is not homogeneous of degree one can also reproduce the conventional dynamics on a suitably selected invariant hypersurface. With this representation, the physical motion takes place on a hypersurface within a symplectic extended phase space of even dimension. The formal similarity of conventional and extended Lagrange formalisms provides a direct connection with the proper-time path integral approach to relativistic quantum physics. To provide an example, the non-homogeneous extended Lagrangian $L_{e}$ of a classical relativistic spinless point particle in an external electromagnetic field will be presented. This extended Lagrangian is a quadratic function in the velocities, and its selected zero-energy hypersurface is the classical mass shell. With this $L_{e}$, the generalized path integral first yields an evolution equation in $s$. Imposing the corresponding quantum mass-shell condition then yields the Klein-Gordon equation as the physical wave equation. This establishes the relation between the classical extended Lagrangian description and proper-time quantization for a charged spin-zero particle.

Reliable Entropy Estimation from Observed Statistics for Device-Independent Quantum Cryptography

This paper introduces a numerical framework for establishing lower bounds on the conditional von-Neumann entropy in device-independent quantum cryptography and randomness extraction scenarios. Leveraging a hierarchy of semidefinite programs derived from the Navascués-Pironio-Acin (NPA) hierarchy, our tool enables efficient computation of entropy bounds based solely on observed statistics, assuming the validity of quantum mechanics. The method's computational efficiency is ensured by its reliance on projective operators within the non-commutative polynomial optimization problem. The method facilitates provable bounds for extractable randomness in noisy scenarios and aligns with modern entropy accumulation theorems. Consequently, the framework offers an adaptable tool for practical quantum cryptographic protocols, expanding secure communication possibilities in untrusted environments.
