We review recent progress in the field of optical quantum metrology, with a focus on the analysis of the current level of theoretical and experimental research on the generation, transformation, and measurement of nonclassical states of light, such as NOON, squeezed, and hybrid states, which com- bine transformations of both discrete and continuous variables of a quantized light field. We show how such states can be used to improve the measurement accuracy and to estimate unknown phase parameters in both linear and nonlinear metrology. Sig- nificant attention is paid to the description of actual quantum metrology schemes that take the loss of particles, the limited fidelity of photon detectors, and other factors into account. We therefore identify both the ultimate (fundamental) bounds im- posed by quantum mechanical uncertainties of the quantities being measured and the bounds due to the effect of classical noise on the propagation and measurements of a quanti Of special importance are quantum metrology options spontaneous parametric light scattering, which, for m 50 years, has been an indispensable tool for key acc ments in quantum optics and related areas of photoni tum cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum In this regard, we analyze the current status of the u well-known Hong-Ou-Mandel photon anticorrelati and biphoton interference in various quantum metro proaches in measuring temperature, length, material co tion, and so on. We also discuss the use of biph photometry, radiometry, and sensing for the absolute tion of modern photon-count detectors, as well as for ments of the brightness temperature of hot radiation The quantum metrology phenomena, methods, aproaches discussed here in light of the most recent progress on sources and detectors of quantum radiation will be an important tool in developing and practically implementing new schemes and algorithms for quantumprocessing and information transmission.

This letter proposes a quantum algorithm for Dynamic Metasurface Antennas (DMA) beamforming to suppress interference for an amplify-and-forward relay system in multi-base station environments. This algorithm introduces an efficient dynamic block initialization and overarching block update strategy, which can enhance the Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) of the target base station (BS) signal without any channel information. Furthermore, we built a relay system with DMA as the receiving antenna and conducted outdoor 5G BS interference suppression tests. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to experiment DMA in commercial 5G networks. The field trial results indicate an SINR improvement of over 10 dB for the signal of the desired BS.

Several hundred plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy synthesis experiments of GaN and ZnO thin film crystals were organized into data sets that correlate the operating parameters selected for growth to two figures of merit: a binary determination of surface morphology, and a continuous Bragg-Williams measure of lattice ordering (S2). quantum as well as conventional supervised machine learning algorithms were optimized and trained on the data, enabling a comparison of their generalization performance. The models displaying the best generalization performance on each data set were subsequently used to predict each figure of merit across the ZnO and GaN processing spaces.

The negative effects caused by geometric distortion can be removed to the maximum extent possible through appropriate geometric transformations, allowing us to focus on the image content itself in subsequent processing and recognition. Therefore, geometric transformations are often used as a pre-processing step for other image processing applications. In this paper, quantumalgorithms are designed to implement geometric transformations, including two-point swapping, circular translation, flipping transformations and right-angle rotation, across a quantum image representation QIRHSI (quantum Image Representation based on HSI color space) which is built on HSI (Hue-Saturation-Intensity) color space. The above geometric transformations are realized by quantum circuits composed of elementary quantum gates. By analyzing the complexity of the fundamental quantum gates needed for the above geometric transformations, it is found that the global transformations (circular translation, flip transformation and right-angle rotation) are lower than the local transformation (two-point swapping). The proposed geometric transforms are used to facilitate the applications of quantum images with low complexity and high efficiency.

In this letter, we consider the problem of online (real-time, single-shot) estimation of static or slow-varying parameters along quantum trajectories in quantum dynamical systems. Based on the measurement signal of a continuously monitored quantum system, we propose a recursive algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of unknown parameters using an approach based on stochastic gradient ascent on the log-likelihood function. We formulate the algorithm in both discrete-time and continuous-time and illustrate the performance of the algorithm through simulations of a simple two-level system undergoing homodyne measurement from which we are able to track multiple parameters simultaneously.

Binary field multiplication is widely used in quantuminformationprocessing, such as quantumalgorithms, cryptanalysis and mathematical arithmetic. The core quantum resources of binary field multiplication are the qubit count and Toffoli depth of its quantum circuit, both of which are largely dependent on the Toffoli gate count. In this paper, we analyze the multiplicative complexity of binary field and present quantum circuits for F28 multiplication from the perspective of time and space. We find that the Toffoli gate count of quantum circuit corresponds to the bilinear complexity in F2n multiplication. The Toffoli gate count obtained by the algebraic curve method increases linearly with n, which is slower than the sub-quadratic complexity of Karatsuba algorithm and the iterated logarithm complexity of Chinese remainder theorem (CRT). To demonstrate the advantages of the algebraic curve method, we use elliptic curve bilinear algorithm in F(22)4 and composite field arithmetic (CFA) to present two types quantum circuits for F28 multiplication, both of which have 24 Toffoli gates and are the lowest at present. The Toffoli depth of the time-efficient quantum circuit is only 1, and the product D.W of the depth and width of the circuit is 72, which is lower than before. The space-efficient quantum circuits require 24 qubits and maintain the Toffoli depth of 4, their D.W and Toffoli depth are reduced by at least 77.8% compared with the most advanced research.

quantum Sobel edge detection (QSED) is a kind of algorithm for image edge detection using quantum mechanism, which can solve the real-time problem encountered by classical algorithms. However, the existing QSED algorithms only consider two- or four-direction Sobel operator, which leads to a certain loss of edge detail information in some high-definition images. In this paper, a novel QSED algorithm based on eight-direction Sobel operator is proposed, which not only reduces the loss of edge information, but also simultaneously calculates eight directions' gradient values of all pixel in a quantum image. In addition, the concrete quantum circuits, which consist of gradient calculation, non-maximum suppression, double threshold detection and edge tracking units, are designed in details. For a 2(n) x 2(n) image with q gray scale, the complexity of our algorithm can be reduced to O(n(2) + q(2)), which is lower than other existing classical or quantumalgorithms. And the simulation experiment demonstrates that our algorithm can detect more edge information, especially diagonal edges, than the two- and four-direction QSED algorithms.

This article proposes a benchmark testing set and evaluation system for quantum computers. Our tests do not focus on the topology of quantum computers or the specific implementation details of preparing quantum bits. Instead, we examine the overall performance of quantum computers from the perspective of users. Inspired by traditional computer benchmark tests such as SPECCPU2017, we integrate existing scalable quantum applications and algorithms to generate a testing set that covers algorithms such as search, machine learning, factorization, portfolio optimization, and entanglement state preparation, effectively simulating real workloads. By running the testing set, we can understand the performance of current quantum computers and generate a comprehensive score by combining our evaluation system, which consists of sub-scores of various backend features, including quantum gate error rate, entanglement between quantum bits, cross talk, and connectivity. These sub-scores are calculated based on the program features of the testing cases combined with their running results, where the program features are analyzed through the logical circuits of the testing cases. We incorporate Hellinger fidelity and polarization rescaling into each benchmark to calculate the fidelity of the running results. Through our evaluation system, researchers can be guided toward research directions and understand how far quantum computers are from solving practical problems.
