In this Invited Paper, we will summarize our vision for quantum networks based on arrays of individual neutral atoms. With a photonic interface such as an optical cavity, some atoms in the array - the "communication" qubits - can establish remote entanglement while others - the "data" qubits - are used for large-scale quantuminformationprocessing or for quantum-enhanced metrology via an atomic clock transition. Deterministic gates within the array will enable operations and algorithms that are distributed among all the qubits in two or more nodes. Additionally, we will discuss our efforts to realize this vision with arrays of ytterbium-171 atoms in optical tweezers, in which telecom-band photons can be directly entangled with nuclear spin qubits without the need for wavelength conversion.

Corners are very important local features for an image that can be widely used in many image processing tasks such as object detection, image recognition and data compression. However, current corner detection algorithms are complex and time consuming. In this paper, a new quantum fast corner detection algorithm is proposed taking full advantage of quantum parallelism. The algorithm is implemented in three steps: the 'nucleus' is defined and its neighborhood pixels are determined in the first step. Two thresholds are selected in the second step, and corners are obtained in the third step. The first and second steps are the same as the classical corner detection algorithm. The third step is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the differences between grayscale values of the nucleus and pixels in the neighborhood are calculated, followed by the comparison of those differences with the 'intensity threshold,' then is the quantum measurement on the comparison results, and finally the measured results are organized into an array. In the second stage, the array is used for counting, followed by the comparison of those counted results with the 'accuracy threshold,' and finally the corners are obtained. It is worth noting that through the quantum-classical-quantum mode, quantum resources can be reduced significantly. The analysis in the proposed quantum fast corner detection algorithm shows that the time complexity and quantum delay of the algorithm do not increase with the increase in the size and number of images, and its time complexity is exponentially lower than that of the classical fast corner detection algorithm.

Because of the impact of quantum computer and quantum algorithm on modern encryption algorithms, especially quantum computing can crack cryptographic protocols based on pseudo-random sequences. quantum walks are general model in quantum computing. It has nonlinear dynamic behavior and sensitivity to initial values. Therefore, quantum walks can be approximated as chaotic system, which provides a new idea for modern cryptography research. A color quantum image algorithm based on controlled two-particle quantum walks are proposed in this paper. This algorithm protects the privacy of images for people using the Internet. The algorithm uses the sequence generated by quantum walks and quantum rotation to scramble, and controls the NOT gate to perform the diffusion operation. Through the performance analysis, the correlation coefficient of the ciphertext images is close to 0, the NPCR and UACI are close to 99.60%, 33.46%, and the information entropy is close to 8, etc. Therefore, the present algorithm is safe and efficient.

In recent years, blockchain technology has been established as a solution to a spectrum of issues associated with conventional financial systems, including but not limited to high transaction costs, slow processing times, and lack of transparency, leading to the proliferation of various digital assets and cryptocurrencies that are finding new use cases such as tokenization of real-world assets, access control systems, records management, etc. However, a significant impediment that has emerged is the need for interoperability between incompatible decentralized networks, which has thwarted the ability to exchange digital assets across these networks efficiently and securely. In this paper, the authors propose a novel quantum blockchain-enabled exchange protocol model (QBEEP) for the secure exchange of digital assets between various stakeholders on different decentralized networks, harnessing the potential of quantum computing, homomorphic encryption, and distributed ledgers. QBEEP is designed to be highly secure and transparent, ensuring stakeholders can trust the transaction's outcome. Furthermore, it addresses several challenges posed by quantum computing, including the susceptibility of traditional cryptographic systems to attacks by quantum computers. The authors use quantum key distribution and quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms to ensure that the proposed model is secure against attacks by classical and quantum computers. The authors demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of QBEEP through simulation experiments, and the results show that the protocol is highly secure and efficient, with low overhead and fast execution time. The authors also compare QBEEP to existing solutions and show that it outperforms them in terms of security and efficiency. The proposed protocol provides a promising solution for the growing need for secure and efficient decentralized exchange platforms in the emerging digital economy.

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function given given access to a natural quantum generalization of a stochastic gradient oracle. We provide two new methods for the special case of minimizing a Lipschitz convex function. Each method obtains a dimension versus accuracy trade-off which is provably unachievable classically and we prove that one method is asymptotically optimal in low-dimensional settings. Additionally, we provide quantumalgorithms for computing a critical point of a smooth non-convex function at rates not known to be achievable classically. To obtain these results we build upon the quantum multivariate mean estimation result of Cornelissen et al. [25] and provide a general quantum variance reduction technique of independent interest.

The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV- centers) in diamonds possess outstanding magnetooptical properties and have broad applications in cutting-edge fields, such as quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum computing. However, the reflection loss around the wavelength of NV- photoluminescence (PL) spectrum caused by the diamond-air interface is still a drawback. In this work, a multi-layer optical antireflection coating was designed via genetic algorithms to resolve this problem. The simulation results show that coating can increase the average transmissivity from 82.90 % to 99.84 %. We coated the diamond sample with eight SiO2 and Ta2O5 overlapping layers based on the simulation results. After depositing the coating, the transmissivity increased from 83.84 % to 98.10 %, corresponding to a 17.01 % improvement. Furthermore, the intensity of the PL spectrum increased by a factor of 1.26, confirming the superior properties of the diamond-air interface with the coating. Finally, an NV-based magnetometer was constructed to prove the application significance of our coating. It was found that the sensitivity increased from 57.19 to 25.53 nT center dot Hz- 1/ 2. This scheme demonstrates the positive effect of coating in improving the system's comprehensive performance, especially signal-to-noise ratio, but also benefits the miniaturization and integration of diamond magnetometers, which will contribute to achieving related quantuminformationprocessing based on defective diamonds.

As we know, a greater number of samples yields better system modeling. With a larger input data, the computational complexity increases significantly. That is the case with Generalized Least Squares error identification (GLS method) as well. The proposed approach in this article to solve the aforementioned problem is to use quantumalgorithms, which significantly reduce the computational complexity. Therefore, in this study, two methods, namely Classical quantum GLS (C-QGLS) and quantum GLS methods (QGLS), were proposed to ease the computational complexity. Unlike HHL, these two methods can estimate unbiased parameters despite the existence of color noise. Moreover, they can handle the issue of non-hermitian and ill-condition matrices.

quantum computing allows a significant speed-up over traditional CPU-and GPUbased algorithms when applied to particular mathematical challenges such as optimisation and simulation. Despite promising advances and extensive research in hard-and software developments, currently available quantum systems are still largely limited in their capability. In line with this, practical applications in quantitative finance are still in their infancy. This paper analyses requirements and concrete approaches for the application to risk management in a financial institution. On the examples of Value-at-Risk for market risk and Potential Future Exposure for counterparty credit risk, the main contribution lies in going beyond textbook illustrations and instead exploring must-have model features and their quantum implementations. While conceptual solutions and small-scale circuits are feasible at this stage, the leap needed for real-life applications is still significant. In order to build a usable risk measurement system, the hardware capacity-measured in number of qubits-would need to increase by several magnitudes from their current value of about 102. quantum noise poses an additional challenge, and research into its control and mitigation would need to advance in order to render risk measurement applications deployable in practice. Overall, given the maturity of established classical simulation-based approaches that allow risk computations in reasonable time and with sufficient accuracy, the business case for a move to quantum solutions is not very strong at this point.

Variational quantumalgorithms (VQAs) combining the advantages of parameterized quantum circuits and clas-sical optimizers, promise practical quantum applications in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. The perfor-mance of VQAs heavily depends on the optimization method. Compared with gradient-free and ordinary gradient descent methods, the quantum natural gradient (QNG), which mir-rors the geometric structure of the parameter space, can achieve faster convergence and avoid local minima more easily, thereby reducing the cost of circuit executions. We uti-lized a fully programmable photonic chip to experimentally estimate the QNG in photonics for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. We obtained the dissociation curve of the He-H+ cation and achieved chemical accuracy, verifying the outperformance of QNG optimization on a photonic device. Our work opens up a vista of utilizing QNG in photonics to implement practical near-term quantum applications.& COPY;2023 Optica Publishing Group
