Pubblication by IFN-CNR “High-fidelity and polarization-insensitive universal photonic processors fabricated by femtosecond laser writing”

Universal photonic processors (UPPs) are fully programmable photonic integrated circuits that are key components in quantum photonics. With this work, we present a novel platform for the realization of low-loss, low-power, and high-fidelity UPPs based on femtosecond laser writing (FLW) and compatible with a large wavelength spectrum. In fact, we demonstrate different UPPs, tailored for … Leggi tutto

Un cloud quantistico sicuro: da oggi è possibile proteggere la privacy di gruppi di utenti che effettuano calcoli contemporaneamente su server distanti

Un gruppo di ricerca internazionale ha ideato e dimostrato che è possibile effettuare calcoli da remoto su processori quantistici mantenendo intatta la privacy di tutti gli utenti coinvolti. I risultati dell’esperimento, condotto presso il Quantum Lab dell’Università Sapienza di Roma, sono stati pubblicati sulla rivista Nature Communications e costituiscono un passo in avanti fondamentale verso … Leggi tutto

Multi-client distributed blind quantum computation with the Qline architecture

Qline

Universal blind quantum computing allows users with minimal quantum resources to delegate a quantum computation to a remote quantum server, while keeping intrinsically hidden input, algorithm, and outcome. State-of-art experimental demonstrations of such a protocol have only involved one client. However, an increasing number of multi-party algorithms, e.g. federated machine learning, require the collaboration of … Leggi tutto

LIN INL article “Quantum circuit compilation and hybrid computation using Pauli-based computation”

In a recently published piece of work funded by PHOQUSING, PhD student Filipa Peres and PHOQUSING PI Ernesto Galvão, both from INL, explore a universal model of quantum computation known as Pauli-based computation. They show that this model can be used to compile quantum circuits dominated by Clifford gates, demonstrating helpful quantum resource savings in … Leggi tutto

LIN INL: “Enhanced bunching of nearly indistinguishable bosons”, published on arXiv!

In multiphon interference processes, the commonly assumed direct link between boson bunching and particle indistinguishability has recently been challenged in Seron et al. [Nat. Photon. 17, 702 (2023)]. Exploiting the connection between optical interferometry and matrix permanents, it appeared that bunching effects may surprisingly be enhanced in some interferometers by preparing specific states of partially distinguishable photons. … Leggi tutto
