Entanglement of weighted graphs uncovers transitions in variable-range interacting models

The cluster state acquired by evolving the nearest-neighbor (NN) Ising model from a completely separable state is the resource for measurement-based quantum computation. Instead of an NN system, a variable-range power law interacting Ising model can generate a genuine multipartite entangled (GME) weighted graph state (WGS) that may reveal intrinsic characteristics of the evolving Hamiltonian. We establish that the pattern of generalized geometric measure (GGM) in the evolved state with an arbitrary number of qubits is sensitive to fall-off rates and the range of interactions of the evolving Hamiltonian. We report that the time-derivative and time-averaged GGM at a particular time can detect the transition points present in the fall-off rates of the interaction strength, separating different regions, namely long-range, quasi-local and local ones in one- and two-dimensional lattices with deformation. Moreover, we illustrate that in the quasi-local and local regimes, there exists a minimum coordination number in the evolving Ising model for a fixed total number of qubits which can mimic the GGM of the long-range model. In order to achieve a finite-size subsystem from the entire system, we design a local measurement strategy that allows a WGS of an arbitrary number of qubits to be reduced to a local unitarily equivalent WGS having fewer qubits with modified weights.

Quantifying the particle aspect of quantum systems

The possibility of a quantum system to exhibit properties that are akin to both the classically held notions of being a particle and a wave, is one of the most intriguing aspects of the quantum description of nature. These aspects have been instrumental in understanding paradigmatic natural phenomena as well as to provide nonclassical applications. A conceptual foundation for the wave nature of a quantum state has recently been presented, through the notion of quantum coherence. We introduce here a parallel notion for the particle nature of a quantum state of an arbitrary physical system. We provide elements of a resource theory of particleness, and give a quantification of the same. Finally, we provide evidence for a complementarity between the particleness thus introduced, and the coherence of an arbitrary quantum state.

Constructive impact of Wannier-Stark field on environment-boosted quantum batteries

Using the ground states of the Bose- and Fermi-Hubbard model as the battery's initial state, we demonstrate that using the Wannier-Stark (WS) field for charging in addition to onsite interactions can increase the maximum power of the battery. Although the benefit is not ubiquitous, bosonic batteries are more affected by the WS field than fermionic ones. In particular, there exists a critical WS field strength above which the power gets increased in the battery. Further, we determine a closed form expression of the stored work when the battery is in the ground state of the Bose- and Fermi-Hubbard model with only hopping term and the charging is carried out with onsite interactions and WS field irrespective of lattice-size of the battery. Moreover, we exhibit that it is possible to extract work in the fermionic batteries even without charging when the edge sites are attached to two local thermal baths having high temperatures -- this process we refer to as {\it environment-assisted ergotropy}. Note, however, that the bosonic batteries are able to exhibit such an environmental benefit in the transient regime when the lattice-size is increased and when Wannier-Stark field is present. Nonetheless, if the onsite interaction or WS potential with a critical strength is utilized as a charger, energy can be stored and extracted from both bosonic and fermionic batteries in the presence of the thermal baths.

More nonlocality with less incompatibility in higher dimensions: Bell vs prepare-measure scenarios

Connecting incompatibility in measurements with the violation of local realism is one of the fundamental avenues of research. For two qubits, any incompatible pair of projective measurements can violate Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality for some states, and there is a monotonic relationship between the level of measurement incompatibility (projective) and the violation. However, in the case of two qutrits, we exhibit that the violation of the Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality responds non-monotonically with the amount of incompatibility; we term this more nonlocality with less incompatibility. Furthermore, unlike in the CHSH case, the maximally violating state in higher dimensions depends on the amount of measurement incompatibility. We illustrate that similar patterns can also be observed in an experimentally viable interferometric measuring technique. In such a measurement scenario, we provide an explicit example of incompatible (not jointly measurable) measurements that do not violate the CGLMP inequality for any shared quantum state. We extend our study of incompatibility in the prepare and measure scenario, focusing on quantum random access codes (QRACs). Surprisingly, we show that the monotonicity of average success probability with measurement incompatibility does not hold for higher dimensions, as opposed to two dimensions, even though the maximum probability of QRAC behaves monotonically with incompatibility.

Dimensional advantage in secure information trading via the noisy dense coding protocol

The quantum dense coding (DC) protocol, which has no security feature, deals with the transmission of classical information encoded in a quantum state by using shared entanglement between a single sender and a single receiver. Its appropriate variant has been established as a quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme for shared two-qubit maximally entangled states, with the security proof utilizing the uncertainty relation of complementary observables and the Shor-Preskill entanglement purification scheme. We present the DC-based QKD protocol for higher dimensional systems and report the lower bounds on secret key rate, when the shared state is a two-qudit maximally entangled state, and mixtures of maximally entangled states with different ranks. The analysis also includes the impact of noisy channels on the secure key rates, before and after encoding. In both the noiseless and the noisy scenarios, we demonstrate that the key rate as well as the robustness of the protocol against noise increases with the dimension. Further, we prove that the set of useless states in the DC-based QKD protocol is convex and compact.

Measurement-based qudit quantum refrigerator with subspace cooling

We develop a method to transform a collection of higher-dimensional spin systems from the thermal state with a very high temperature of a local spin-s Hamiltonian to a low-lying energy eigenstate of the same. The procedure utilizes an auxiliary system, interactions between all systems, and appropriate projective measurements of arbitrary rank performed on the auxiliary system. We refer to this process as subspace cooling. The performance of the protocol is assessed by determining the fidelity of the target state with the output one and the success probability of achieving the resulting state. For this analysis, spin-s XXZ and bilinear biquadratic models are employed as the evolving Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that in both scenarios, unit fidelity can be attained after a reasonable number of repeated measurements and a finite amount of evolution time when all the systems are aligned in an open chain, but it fails when the interactions between the spin follow the star configuration. We report that the success probability increases with the rank of the projectors in the measurement for a fixed dimension and that for each dimension, there exists a range of interaction strength and evolution period for which the fidelity gets maximized. Even when some subsystems are in contact with the thermal bath, the method proves to be resistant to decoherence.

Qubit magic-breaking channels

We develop a notion of quantum channels that can make states useless for universal quantum computation by destroying their magic (non-stabilizerness) - we refer to them as magic-breaking channels. We establish the properties of these channels in arbitrary dimensions. We prove the necessary and sufficient criteria for qubit channels to be magic-breaking and present an algorithm for determining the same. Moreover, we provide compact criteria in terms of the parameters for several classes of qubit channels to be magic-breaking under various post-processing operations. Further, we investigate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the tensor product of multiple qubit channels to be magic-breaking. We establish implications of the same for the dynamical resource theory of magic preservability.

Multimode advantage in continuous variable quantum battery

We provide an architecture for a multimode quantum battery (QB) based on the framework of continuous variable (CV) systems. We examine the performance of the battery by using a generic class of multimode initial states whose parameters can be tuned to produce separable as well as entangled states and that can be charged locally as well as globally by Gaussian unitary operations. Analytical calculations show that a separable state is equally advantageous to an entangled one for two- and three-mode batteries when taking the figures of merit as the second moments of the change in energy. In order to produce a stable quantum battery consisting of an arbitrary number of modes, we derive compact analytical forms of the energy fluctuations and prove that for a multimode separable Gaussian initial state, fluctuations decrease as the number of modes increases, thereby obtaining a scaling analysis. Moreover, we demonstrate that local displacement as a charger is better for minimizing the fluctuations in energy than that involving the squeezing unitary operation.

Quantum resources in Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd algorithm

Quantum algorithms have the ability to reduce runtime for executing tasks beyond the capabilities of classical algorithms. Therefore, identifying the resources responsible for quantum advantages is an interesting endeavour. We prove that nonvanishing quantum correlations, both bipartite and genuine multipartite entanglement, are required for solving nontrivial linear systems of equations in the Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd (HHL) algorithm. Moreover, we find a nonvanishing l1-norm quantum coherence of the entire system and the register qubit which turns out to be related to the success probability of the algorithm. Quantitative analysis of the quantum resources reveals that while a significant amount of bipartite entanglement is generated in each step and required for this algorithm, multipartite entanglement content is inversely proportional to the performance indicator. In addition, we report that when imperfections chosen from Gaussian distribution are incorporated in controlled rotations, multipartite entanglement increases with the strength of the disorder, albeit error also increases while bipartite entanglement and coherence decreases, confirming the beneficial role of bipartite entanglement and coherence in this algorithm.

Mimicking quantum correlation of a long-range Hamiltonian by finite-range interactions

The quantum long-range extended Ising model possesses several striking features that cannot be observed in the corresponding short-range model. We report that the pattern obtained from the entanglement between any two arbitrary sites of the long-range model can be mimicked by the model having a finite range of interactions provided the interaction strength is moderate. On the other hand, we illustrate that when the interactions are strong, the entanglement distribution in the long-range model does not match the class of a model with a few interactions. We also show that the monogamy score of entanglement is in good agreement with the behavior of pairwise entanglement. Specifically, it saturates when the entanglement in the finite-range Hamiltonian behaves similarly to the long-range model, while it decays algebraically otherwise.

Quantum battery with non-Hermitian charging

We propose a design of a quantum battery exploiting the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian as a charger. In particular, starting with the ground or the thermal state of the interacting (non-interacting) Hamiltonian as the battery, the charging of the battery is performed via parity-time (PT)- and rotational-time (RT)-symmetric Hamiltonian to store energy. We report that such a quenching with a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian leads to an enhanced power output compared to a battery with a Hermitian charger. We identify the region in the parameter space which provides the gain in performance. We also demonstrate that the improvements persist with the increase of system size for batteries with both PT- and RT-symmetric chargers. In the PT-symmetric case, although the anisotropy of the XY model does not help in the performance, we show that the XXZ model as a battery with a non-Hermitian charger performs better than that of the XX model having certain interaction strengths. We also exhibit that the advantage of non-Hermiticity remains valid even at finite temperatures in the initial states.

Deciding factor for detecting a particle within a subspace via dark and bright states

In a measurement-induced continuous-time quantum walk, we address the problem of detecting a particle in a subspace, instead of a fixed position. In this configuration, we develop an approach of bright and dark states based on the unit and vanishing detection probability respectively for a particle-detection in the subspace. Specifically, by employing the rank-nullity theorem, we determine several properties of dark and bright states in terms of energy spectrum of the Hamiltonian used for a quantum walk and the projectors applied to detect the subspace. We provide certain conditions on the position and the rank of the subspace to be detected, resulting in the unit total detection probability, which has broad implications for quantum computing. Further, we illustrate the forms of dark as well as bright states and the dependence of detection probability on the number of dark states by considering a cyclic graph with nearest-neighbor and next nearest-neighbor hopping. Moreover, we observe that the divergence in the average number of measurements for detecting a particle successfully in a subspace can be reduced by performing high rank projectors.

Continuous variable dense coding under realistic non-ideal scenarios

We analyze the continuous variable (CV) dense coding protocol between a single sender and a single receiver when affected by noise in the shared and encoded states as well as when the decoding is imperfect. We derive a general formalism for the dense coding capacity (DCC) of generic two-mode Gaussian states. When the constituent modes are affected by quantum-limited amplifiers, pure-loss channels, and environmental interactions together with an inefficient decoding mechanism comprising imperfect double-homodyne detection, we investigate the pattern of DCC of the two-mode squeezed vacuum state (TMSV) by varying the strength of the noise. We further establish that the negative conditional entropy is responsible for providing quantum advantage in CV dense coding and identify a class of pure states capable of furnishing the maximal dense coding capacity equal to that of the TMSV under equal energy. We also demonstrate that, while the TMSV state provides the maximum quantum advantage in the DC protocol, there exists a class of states that is more resilient against noise than the TMSV state in the context of the DCC.

Nonclassical resource for continuous variable telecloning with non-Gaussian advantage

The telecloning protocol distributes quantum states from a single sender to multiple receivers via a shared entangled state by exploiting the notions of teleportation and approximate cloning. We investigate the optimal telecloning fidelities obtained using both Gaussian and non-Gaussian shared resources. When the shared non-Gaussian state is created by subtracting photons from both the modes of the Gaussian two-mode squeezed vacuum state, we demonstrate that higher telecloning fidelities can be achieved in comparison with its Gaussian counterpart. To quantify this advantage, we introduce a quadrature-based nonclassicality measure, which is capable of estimating the fidelity of the clones, both with Gaussian and non-Gaussian resource states. We further provide a linear optical setup for asymmetric telecloning of continuous variable states using a multimode entangled state.

Robustness of Higher Dimensional Nonlocality against dual noise and sequential measurements

Robustness in the violation of Collins-Linden-Gisin-Masser-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality is investigated from the dual perspective of noise in measurements as well as in states. To quantify it, we introduce a quantity called the area of nonlocal region which reveals a dimensional advantage. Specifically, we report that with the increase of dimension, the maximally violating states show a greater enhancement in the area of nonlocal region in comparison to the maximally entangled states and the scaling of the increment, in this case, grows faster than visibility. Moreover, we examine the robustness in the sequential violation of CGLMP inequality using weak measurements and find that even for higher dimensions, two observers showing a simultaneous violation of the CGLMP inequality as obtained for two-qubit states persists. We notice that the complementarity between information gain and disturbance by measurements is manifested by the decrease of the visibility in the first round and the increase of the same in the second round with dimensions. Furthermore, the amount of white noise that can be added to a maximally entangled state so that it gives two rounds of the violation, decreases with the dimension, while the same does not appreciably change for the maximally violating states.

Necessary condition for information transfer under simulated parity-time-symmetric evolution

Parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum theory can broaden the scope of quantum dynamics beyond unitary evolution which may lead to numerous counter-intuitive phenomena, including single-shot discrimination of non-orthogonal states, faster evolution of state than the standard quantum speed limit, and violation of no-signaling principle. On the other hand, PT-symmetric evolution can be realized as reduced dynamics of a subsystem in real experiments within the scope of standard quantum theory. In this experimental setup, if one side of a composite system is evolved according to a PT-symmetric way, a non-trivial information transfer can happen, i.e., the operation performed at one side can be gathered by the other side. By considering an arbitrary shared state between two parties situated in two distant locations and arbitrary measurements, we show that the PT-symmetric evolution of the reduced subsystem at one side is not sufficient for this information transfer to occur. Specifically, we prove that the information transfer can only happen when the density matrix and the corresponding measurements contain complex numbers. Moreover, we connect the entanglement content of the shared state with the efficacy of information transfer. We find evidence that the task becomes more efficient with the increase of dimension.

Discovering Factorization Surface of Quantum Spin Chains with Machine Learning

Entanglement in quantum many-body systems is required for a variety of quantum information tasks, making it crucial to identify the parameter space in which the ground state is fully separable, known as the factorization surface (FS). Nonetheless, the tuning parameters indicating FS for several quantum spin models remain unknown. We employ symbolic regression (SR), a supervised learning technique, to determine a closed-form expression in the parameter regime corresponding to FS of quantum many-body Hamiltonians. We verify the effectiveness of this method by examining the analytically tractable models, namely a nearest-neighbor (NN) quantum transverse XY model with additional Kaplan-Shekhtman-Entin-Aharony interactions, for which the FS is well-known. We construct an accurate expression for the FS of the XYZ model by providing the parameter set through the SR algorithm in which the ground state is derived by matrix product state formalism. With a satisfactory level of accuracy, we estimate the FS for the long-range XY model, and the NN XY model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya type asymmetric interaction for which the factorization surface is not known.

Quantum illumination with noisy probes: Conditional advantages of non-Gaussianity

Entangled states, like the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, are known to give quantum advantage in the illumination protocol, a method to detect a weakly reflecting target submerged in a thermal background. We use non-Gaussian photon-added and -subtracted states, affected by local Gaussian noise on top of the omnipresent thermal noise, as probes in the illumination protocol. Based on the difference between the Chernoff bounds obtained with the coherent state and the non-Gaussian state having equal signal strengths, whose positive values denote quantum advantage in illumination, we highlight the hierarchy among non-Gaussian states, which is compatible with correlations per unit signal strength, although the Gaussian states offer the best performance. Interestingly, such hierarchy is different when comparisons are made using the Chernoff bounds. The entire analysis is performed in the presence of different imperfect apparatus like faulty twin-beam generator, imperfect photon addition (subtraction) as well as with noisy non-Gaussian probe states.
