A high-fidelity quantum state transfer algorithm on the complete bipartite graph

High-fidelity quantum state transfer is critical for quantum communication and scalable quantum computation. Current quantum state transfer algorithms on the complete bipartite graph, which are based on discrete-time quantum walk search algorithms, suffer from low fidelity in some cases. To solve this problem, in this paper we propose a two-stage quantum state transfer algorithm on the complete bipartite graph. The algorithm is achieved by the generalized Grover walk with one marked vertex. The generalized Grover walk's coin operators and the query oracles are both parametric unitary matrices, which are designed flexibly based on the positions of the sender and receiver and the size of the complete bipartite graph. We prove that the fidelity of the algorithm is greater than $1-2ε_{1}-ε_{2}-2\sqrt{2}\sqrt{ε_{1}ε_{2}}$ or $1-(2+2\sqrt{2})ε_{1}-ε_{2}-(2+2\sqrt{2})\sqrt{ε_{1}ε_{2}}$ for any adjustable parameters $ε_{1}$ and $ε_{2}$ when the sender and receiver are in the same partition or different partitions of the complete bipartite graph. The algorithm provides a novel approach to achieve high-fidelity quantum state transfer on the complete bipartite graph in any case, which will offer potential applications for quantum information processing.

Semi-device-independent randomness expansion with partially free random sources

By proposing device-independent protocols, S. Pironio et al. [Nature 464, 1021-1024 (2010)] and R. Colbeck et al. [Nature Physics 8, 450-453 (2012)] proved that new randomness can be generated by using perfectly free random sources or partially free ones as seed. Subsequently, Li et al. [Phys. Rev. A 84, 034301 (2011)] studied this topic in the framework of semi-device-independent and proved that new randomness can be obtained from perfectly free random sources. Here we discuss whether and how partially free random sources bring us new randomness in semi-device-independent scenario. We propose a semi-device-independent randomness expansion protocol with partially free random sources, and obtain the condition that the partially free random sources should satisfy to generate new randomness. In the process of analysis, we acquire a new 2-dimensional quantum witness. Furthermore, we get the analytic relationship between the generated randomness and the 2-dimensional quantum witness violation.
