State Engineering of Unsteerable Hamiltonians

Lindbladian dynamics of open systems may be employed to steer a many-body system towards a non-trivial ground state of a local Hamiltonian. Such protocols provide us with tunable platforms facilitating the engineering and study of non-trivial many-body states. Steering towards a degenerate ground state manifold provides us with a protected platform to employ many-body states as a resource for quantum information processing. Notably, ground states of frustrated local Hamiltonians have been known not to be amenable to steering protocols. Revisiting this intricate physics we report two new results: (i) we find a broad class of (geometrically) frustrated local Hamiltonians for which steering of the ground state manifold is possible through a sequence of discrete steering steps. Following the steering dynamics, states within the degenerate ground-state manifold keep evolving in a non-stationary manner. (ii) For the class of Hamiltonians with ground states which are non-steerable through local superoperators, we derive a "glass floor" on how close to the ground state one can get implementing a steering protocol. This is expressed invoking the concept of cooling-by-steering (a lower bound of the achievable temperature), or through an upper bound of the achievable fidelity. Our work provides a systematic outline for studying quantum state manipulation of a broad class of strongly correlated states.

Quantum LOSR networks cannot generate graph states with high fidelity

Quantum networks lead to novel notions of locality and correlations and an important problem concerns the question of which quantum states can be experimentally prepared with a given network structure and devices and which not. We prove that all multi-qubit graph states arising from a connected graph cannot originate from any quantum network with bipartite sources, as long as feed-forward and quantum memories are not available. Moreover, the fidelity of a multi-qubit graph state and any network state cannot exceed $9/10$. Similar results can also be established for a large class of multi-qudit graph states.

Robust Visual Tracking via Implicit Low-Rank Constraints and Structural Color Histograms

With the guaranteed discrimination and efficiency of spatial appearance model, Discriminative Correlation Filters (DCF-) based tracking methods have achieved outstanding performance recently. However, the construction of effective temporal appearance model is still challenging on account of filter degeneration becomes a significant factor that causes tracking failures in the DCF framework. To encourage temporal continuity and to explore the smooth variation of target appearance, we propose to enhance low-rank structure of the learned filters, which can be realized by constraining the successive filters within a $\ell_2$-norm ball. Moreover, we design a global descriptor, structural color histograms, to provide complementary support to the final response map, improving the stability and robustness to the DCF framework. The experimental results on standard benchmarks demonstrate that our Implicit Low-Rank Constraints and Structural Color Histograms (ILRCSCH) tracker outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
