Developing universal logical state-purification strategy for quantum error correcting codes

We develop a measurement-based protocol for simultaneously purifying arbitrary logical states in multiple quantum error correcting codes with unit fidelity and finite probability, starting from arbitrary thermal states of each code. The protocol entails a time evolution caused by an engineered Hamiltonian, which results in transitions between the logical and error subspaces of the quantum error correcting code mediated by the auxiliary qubit, followed by a projective measurement in an optimum basis on the auxiliary qubit and an appropriate post-selection of the measurement outcomes. We illustrate the results with the three-qubit repetition code and the logical qubit used in quantum state transfer protocol. We further demonstrate that when the measurement base is not optimal, it is possible to achieve both classical fidelity, and fidelity as high as $90\%$ through several iterations of the purifying procedure, thereby establishing its robustness against variations in the measurement basis. By repeating the purification rounds, we show that purifying the cardinal states of the logical Bloch sphere corresponding to logical qubits in quantum state transfer is feasible utilizing paradigmatic quantum spin models as the generator of the time evolution.

Limits on broadcasting non-stabilizerness through unrestricted operations

In the resource theory of non-stabilizerness, we prove that stabilizer operations cannot replicate or broadcast the "magic" resource of all quantum states in an arbitrary finite dimension. Moreover, we show that even in unrestricted scenarios, there are fundamental limits on cloning the non-stabilizerness content of quantum states. When using an auxiliary system as part of the cloning process, we show that it is impossible to broadcast the non-stabilizerness of qubits that possess a greater degree of non-stabilizerness than the known states on which the transformations are based. We also derive the conditions to broadcast magic perfectly using unrestricted operations. Furthermore, we compare non-stabilizerness broadcasting with traditional state cloning methods, such as state-dependent and -independent cloners, which can achieve perfect broadcasting of states with known magic content. Our findings reveal that state-dependent cloning unitaries designed for specific states have lower average non-stabilizerness-generating power than magic-generating unitaries.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Designing refrigerators in higher dimensions using quantum spin models

We design quantum refrigerators based on spin-j quantum XYZ and bilinear-biquadratic models with individual spins attached to bosonic thermal baths. By considering both local and global master equations, we illustrate an enhancement in the performance of the refrigerators with an increase in the spin dimension irrespective of the choice of the spin models. To assess the performance of the refrigerators, we introduce a distance-based measure to quantify the local temperature of a particle with arbitrary spin quantum number j. Interestingly, we find that the local temperature quantifier, defined via minimizing the distance between a spin-j thermal state and the evolved state of the spin-j particle in the steady state, coincides with the population-based definition of local temperature known in the literature for spin-1/2 particles. Moreover, we demonstrate that the qualitative behavior of the distance-based local temperature is independent of the choice of the distance measure by comparing the trace distance, Uhlmann's fidelity and relative entropy distance. We further observe by computing local master equation that the quantum refrigerator consisting of a spin-1/2 and a spin-j particle can lead to a lower local temperature compared to a refrigerator with two identical spin-j particles following the XYZ interactions.

Refrigeration via purification through repeated measurements

We design a measurement-based quantum refrigerator with an arbitrary number of qubits situated in a one-dimensional array that interact through variable-range XY interactions. The method proposed is based on repeated evolution followed by a measurement on the single accessible qubit, which has the potential to reduce the temperature in the rest of the subsystems, thereby demonstrating cooling in the device. The performance of the refrigerator is quantified by the fidelity of each local subsystem with the ground state of the local Hamiltonian and the corresponding probability of success. We identify system parameters, which include the interaction strength, range of interactions, initial temperature of each qubit, and the position of the measured qubit, so that the fidelities of all the unmeasured qubits approach unity with a nonvanishing probability. We observe that although strong interactions during evolution are required to achieve cooling, the long-range interactions typically deteriorate the performance of the refrigerator, which indicates that interactions are not ubiquitous. We report the scalability and the saturation property of the success probability with respect to the system size, which turns out to be independent of the involved system parameters and the number of repeated measurements. Furthermore, we show that the number of subsystems which can be cooled changes depending on the odd or even number of sites in the refrigerator. We argue that the distribution of entanglement between unmeasured qubits can give a possible explanation of the dependence of cooling process on the measured and unmeasured sites.

Quantum Battery with Ultracold Atoms: Bosons vs. Fermions

We design a quantum battery made up of bosons or fermions in an ultracold-atom setup, described by Fermi-Hubbard and Bose-Hubbard models, respectively. We compare the performance of bosons and fermions to determine which can function as a quantum battery more effectively given a particular on-site interaction and initial state temperature. The performance of a quantum battery is quantified by the maximum energy stored per unit time over the evolution under an on-site charging Hamiltonian. We report that when the initial battery state is in the ground state, fermions outperform bosons in a certain configuration over a large range of on-site interactions which are shown analytically for a smaller number of lattice sites and numerically for a considerable number of sites. Bosons take the lead when the temperature is comparatively high in the initial state for a longer range of on-site interaction. We study a number of up and down fermions as well as the number of bosons per site to find the optimal filling factor for maximizing the average power of the battery. We also introduce disorder in both on-site and hopping parameters and demonstrate that the maximum average power is robust against impurities. Moreover, we identify a range of tuning parameters in the fermionic and bosonic systems where the disorder-enhanced power is observed.

Classical correlations for Generic States are Fragile under Decoherence

Quantum correlations typically decrease with increasing noise, although classical correlators (CCors) may rise for a particular class of states with noise. To analyse the behavior of classical correlation (CC) in the presence of local noise, we scrutinize the set of classical correlators, axiomatic CC measures like classical discord, and local work for Haar uniformly generated states. Like quantum correlation measures, we illustrate that when noise levels rise, the average value of the CC measures for noisy output states obtained from random input states decreases for most of the channels. We also demonstrate a connection between the CCors of the noise-affected multipartite states that are produced and the CCors of the initial states that exhibit exponential, polynomial, and constant behavior as the noise level changes. Moreover, based on CCors of the generalised N-qubit W state as input, we determine a method to discriminate between the quantum channels, namely phase damping, depolarizing, and amplitude damping channels. We also relate classical, quantum, and total correlation measures that exhibit a comparable reaction to decoherence for generic states.

Designing Robust Quantum Refrigerators in Disordered Spin Models

We explore a small quantum refrigerator in which the working substance is made of paradigmatic nearest-neighbor quantum spin models, the XYZ and the XY model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, consisting of two and three spins, each of which is in contact with a bosonic bath. We identify a specific range of interaction strengths which can be tuned appropriately to ensure a cooling of the selected spin in terms of its local temperature in the weak-coupling limit. Moreover, we report that in this domain, when one of the interaction strengths is disordered, the performance of the thermal machine operating as a refrigerator remains almost unchanged instead of degradation, thereby establishing the flexibility of this device. However, to obtain a significant amount of cooling via ordered as well as disordered spin models, we observe that one has to go beyond the weak-coupling limit and compute the figures of merits by using global master equations.
