Semi-device independent characterization of multiphoton indistinguishability

Multiphoton indistinguishability is a central resource for quantum enhancement in sensing and computation. Developing and certifying large-scale photonic devices requires reliable and accurate characterization of this resource, preferably using methods that are robust against experimental errors. Here, we propose a set of methods for the characterization of multiphoton indistinguishability, based on measurements of bunching and … Leggi tutto

“Quantum machine learning with Adaptive Boson Sampling via post-selection” published in Nature Communications

The implementation of large-scale universal quantum computation represents a challenging and ambitious task on the road to quantum processing of information. In recent years, an intermediate approach has been pursued to demonstrate quantum computational advantage via non-universal computational models. A relevant example for photonic platforms has been provided by the Boson Sampling paradigm and its … Leggi tutto

“Modular Quantum-to-Quantum Bernoulli Factory in an Integrated Photonic Processor” just published in Nature Photonics

Generating and manipulating randomness is essential for numerous information technology applications, and quantum mechanics has been shown to offer distinct advantages in this area. A notable model for randomness manipulation is the Bernoulli factory, which enables the controlled adjustment of the bias in Bernoulli random processes. Initially, this framework was explored entirely within a classical … Leggi tutto

Sapienza Università di Roma, CNRS, VeriQloud : “Experimental verifiable multi-client blind quantum computing on a Qline architecture”

The exploitation of certification tools by end users represents a fundamental aspect of the development of quantum technologies as the hardware scales up beyond the regime of classical simulatability. Certifying quantum networks becomes even more crucial when the privacy of their users is exposed to malicious quantum nodes or servers as in the case of multi-client distributed blind quantum computing, where several clients delegate a joint private computation to remote quantum servers, e.g. federated quantum machine learning. In such protocols, security must be provided not only by keeping data hidden but also by verifying that the server is correctly performing the requested computation while minimizing the hardware assumptions on the employed devices. Notably, standard verification techniques fail in scenarios where the clients receive quantum states from untrusted sources such as, for example, in a recently demonstrated linear quantum network performing multi-client blind quantum computation. However, recent theoretical results provide techniques to verify blind quantum computations even in the case of untrusted state preparation. Equipped with such theoretical tools, in this work, we provide the first experimental implementation of a two-client verifiable blind quantum computing protocol in a distributed architecture. The obtained results represent novel perspectives for the verification of multi-tenant distributed quantum computation in large-scale networks.

Sapienza Università di Roma, LIN INL, IFN-CNR: “Variational quantum cloning machine on a photonic integrated interferometer”

A seminal task in quantum information theory is to realize a device able to produce copies of a generic input state with the highest possible output fidelity, thus realizing an optimal quantum cloning machine. Recently, the concept of variational quantum cloning was introduced: a quantum machine learning algorithm through which, by exploiting a classical feedback loop informed … Leggi tutto
