文摘Classical computation of electronic properties in large-scale materials remains challenging.Quantum computation has the potential to offer advantages in memory footprint and computational scaling.However,general and viable quantum algorithms for simulating large-scale materials are still limited.We propose and implement random-state quantum algorithms to calculate electronic-structure properties of real materials.Using a random state circuit on a small number of qubits,we employ real-time evolution with first-order Trotter decomposition and Hadamard test to obtain electronic density of states,and we develop a modified quantum phase estimation algorithm to calculate real-space local density of states via direct quantum measurements.Furthermore,we validate these algorithms by numerically computing the density of states and spatial distributions of electronic states in graphene,twisted bilayer graphene quasicrystals,and fractal lattices,covering system sizes from hundreds to thousands of atoms.Our results manifest that the random-state quantum algorithms provide a general and qubit-efficient route to scalable simulations of electronic properties in large-scale periodic and aperiodic materials.
文摘As an important index to measure the degree of entanglement in quantum systems,concurrence plays an important role in practical research.In this paper,we study the concurrence between two qubits in triangular triple quantum dot structure.Through calculation and simulation,it is found that concurrence is mainly affected by the interdot coupling strength t,Coulomb interactionU,temperature T,and electrode coupling G.Through comparative studies with parallel triple quantum dot structures,we demonstrate that the triangular geometry exhibits significantly enhanced concurrence under identical conditions.In addition,under the condition that concurrence exceeds 0.9,the functional relationship between t and U is obtained through simulation,which provides theoretical support for quantum dot regulation under high entanglement.Finally,we demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a three-qubit quantum gate,using the Toffoli gate as a representative example,under the condition that the triangular triple quantum dot system maintains high entanglement.

文摘Quantum control allows a wide range of quantum operations employed in molecular physics,nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum information processing.Thanks to the existing microelectronics industry,semiconducting qubits,where quantum information is encoded in spin or charge degree freedom of electrons or nuclei in semiconductor quantum dots,constitute a highly competitive candidate for scalable solid-state quantum technologies.In quantum information processing,advanced control techniques are needed to realize quantum manipulations with both high precision and noise resilience.In this review,we first introduce the basics of various widely-used control methods,including resonant excitation,adabatic passage,shortcuts to adiabaticity,composite pulses,and quantum optimal control.Then we review the practical aspects in applying these methods to realize accurate and robust quantum gates for single semiconductor qubits,such as Loss–DiVincenzo spin qubit,spinglet-triplet qubit,exchange-only qubit and charge qubit.

文摘The development of quantum materials for single-photon emission is crucial for the advancement of quantum information technology.Although significant advancements have been witnessed in recent years for single-photon sources in the near-infrared band(λ∼700–1000 nm),several challenges have yet to be addressed for ideal single-photon emission at the telecommunication band.In this study,we present a droplet-epitaxy strategy for O-band to C-band single-photon source-based semiconductor quantum dots(QDs)using metal-organic vaporphase epitaxy(MOVPE).By investigating the growth conditions of the epitaxial process,we have successfully synthesized InAs/InP QDs with narrow emission lines spanning a broad spectral range of λ∼1200–1600 nm.The morphological and optical properties of the samples were characterized using atomic force microscopy and microphotoluminescence spectroscopy.The recorded single-photon purity of a plain QD structure reaches g^((2))(0)=0.16,with a radiative recombination lifetime as short as 1.5 ns.This work provides a crucial platform for future research on integrated microcavity enhancement techniques and coupled QDs with other quantum photonics in the telecom bands,offering significant prospects for quantum network applications.

文摘Programmable two-particle quantum walks are crucial for advancing quantum simulation,computation,and information processing.Although disorder is traditionally associated with information loss,it can also facilitate emergent phenomena such as enhanced energy transport.Here,we experimentally realize a 12-step discrete-time quantum walk in programmable integrated photonic circuits,introducing tunable static and dynamic disorder to explore quantum transport dynamics.In periodic lattices,disorder induces light localization and drives a transition from quantum ballistic to classical diffusive behavior.In particular,quantum walks of correlated photons exhibit a disorder-induced bunching effect,accompanied by enhanced nonclassical correlations.Our platform provides a scalable framework for investigating multiparticle quantum dynamics in engineered environments,promoting the development of quantum optics toward large-scale applications.

文摘The doped quantum spin liquid on the kagome lattice provides a fascinating platform to explore exotic quantum states,such as the reported holon Wigner crystal at low doping.By extending the doping range toδ=0.027–0.36,we studied the kagome-lattice t-J model using state-of-the-art density matrix renormalization group calculations.On the L_(y)=3 cylinder(Ly is the number of unit cells along the circumferential direction),we established a quantum phase diagram with an increasing doping level.In addition to the charge density wave states at lower doping levels,we found an emergent Fermi-liquid-like phase by melting the holon Wigner crystal at δ≈0.15,which is characterized by the suppression of charge density oscillation and power-law decay of various correlation functions.For a wider L_(y)=4 cylinder,the bond-dimension extrapolated correlation functions also support such a Fermi-liquid-like state,suggesting its stability with increasing system size.In a narrow doping range near δ=1/3 for the L_(y)=3 cylinder,we find a state with an exponential decay of the single-particle correlation,but the other correlation functions preserve the features in the Fermi-liquid-like phase,which may be a precursor of a superconducting state.Nevertheless,this peculiar state nearδ=1/3 disappears for the L_(y)=4 cylinder,implying a possible lattice-size dependence.Our results reveal quantum melting from a holon Wigner crystal to a Fermi-liquid-like state with increasing hole density and suggest a doping regime to explore superconductivity in future studies.

文摘Scalability remains a major challenge in building practical fault-tolerant quantum computers.Currently,the largest number of qubits achieved across leading quantum platforms ranges from hundreds to thousands.In atom arrays,scalability is primarily constrained by the capacity to generate large numbers of optical tweezers,and conventional techniques using acousto-optic deflectors or spatial light modulators struggle to produce arrays much beyond∼10,000 tweezers.Moreover,these methods require additional microscope objectives to focus the light into micrometer-sized spots,which further complicates system integration and scalability.Here,we demonstrate the experimental generation of an optical tweezer array containing 280×280 spots using a metasurface,nearly an order of magnitude more than most existing systems.The metasurface leverages a large number of subwavelength phase-control pixels to engineer the wavefront of the incident light,enabling both large-scale tweezer generation and direct focusing into micron-scale spots without the need for a microscope.This result shifts the scalability bottleneck for atom arrays from the tweezer generation hardware to the available laser power.Furthermore,the array shows excellent intensity uniformity exceeding 90%,making it suitable for homogeneous single-atom loading and paving the way for trapping arrays of more than 10,000 atoms in the near future.

文摘The hybridization gap in strained-layer InAs/In_(x)Ga_(1−x) Sb quantum spin Hall insulators(QSHIs)is significantly enhanced compared to binary InAs/GaSb QSHI structures,where the typical indium composition,x,ranges between 0.2 and 0.4.This enhancement prompts a critical question:to what extent can quantum wells(QWs)be strained while still preserving the fundamental QSHI phase?In this study,we demonstrate the controlled molecular beam epitaxial growth of highly strained-layer QWs with an indium composition of x=0.5.These structures possess a substantial compressive strain within the In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)Sb QW.Detailed crystal structure analyses confirm the exceptional quality of the resulting epitaxial films,indicating coherent lattice structures and the absence of visible dislocations.Transport measurements further reveal that the QSHI phase in InAs/In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)Sb QWs is robust and protected by time-reversal symmetry.Notably,the edge states in these systems exhibit giant magnetoresistance when subjected to a modest perpendicular magnetic field.This behavior is in agreement with the𝑍2 topological property predicted by the Bernevig–Hughes–Zhang model,confirming the preservation of topologically protected edge transport in the presence of enhanced bulk strain.

文摘The Intrusion Detection System(IDS)is a security mechanism developed to observe network traffic and recognize suspicious or malicious activities.Clustering algorithms are often incorporated into IDS;however,conventional clustering-based methods face notable drawbacks,including poor scalability in handling high-dimensional datasets and a strong dependence of outcomes on initial conditions.To overcome the performance limitations of existing methods,this study proposes a novel quantum-inspired clustering algorithm that relies on a similarity coefficient-based quantum genetic algorithm(SC-QGA)and an improved quantum artificial bee colony algorithm hybrid K-means(IQABC-K).First,the SC-QGA algorithmis constructed based on quantum computing and integrates similarity coefficient theory to strengthen genetic diversity and feature extraction capabilities.For the subsequent clustering phase,the process based on the IQABC-K algorithm is enhanced with the core improvement of adaptive rotation gate and movement exploitation strategies to balance the exploration capabilities of global search and the exploitation capabilities of local search.Simultaneously,the acceleration of convergence toward the global optimum and a reduction in computational complexity are facilitated by means of the global optimum bootstrap strategy and a linear population reduction strategy.Through experimental evaluation with multiple algorithms and diverse performance metrics,the proposed algorithm confirms reliable accuracy on three datasets:KDD CUP99,NSL_KDD,and UNSW_NB15,achieving accuracy of 98.57%,98.81%,and 98.32%,respectively.These results affirm its potential as an effective solution for practical clustering applications.

文摘Efficient implementation of fundamental matrix operations on quantum computers,such as matrix products and Hadamard operations,holds significant potential for accelerating machine learning algorithms.A critical prerequisite for quantum implementations is the effective encoding of classical data into quantum states.We propose two quantum computing frameworks for preparing the distinct encoded states corresponding to matrix operations,including the matrix product,matrix sum,matrix Hadamard product and division.Quantum algorithms based on the digital encoding computing framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(poly log(mnl/ε)),achieving an exponential speedup in contrast to the classical methods of O(mn)and O(mnl).Quantum algorithms based on the analog-encoding framework are capable of implementing the matrix Hadamard operation with a time complexity of O(k_(1)√mn·poly log(mn/ε))and the matrix product with a time complexity of O(k_(2)√1·poly log(mnl/ε)),where k_(1)and k_(2)are coefficients correlated with the elements of the matrix,achieving a square speedup in contrast to the classical counterparts.As applications,we construct an oracle that can access the trace of a matrix within logarithmic time,and propose several algorithms to respectively estimate the trace of a matrix,the trace of the product of two matrices,and the trace inner product of two matrices within logarithmic time.
