Optimal resource cost for error mitigation

R Takagi - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
One of the central problems for near-term quantum devices is to understand their ultimate
potential and limitations. We address this problem in terms of quantum error mitigation by …

Fisher information universally identifies quantum resources

KC Tan, V Narasimhachar, B Regula - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We show that both the classical as well as the quantum definitions of the Fisher information
faithfully identify resourceful quantum states in general quantum resource theories, in the …

Witnessing wigner negativity

U Chabaud, PE Emeriau, F Grosshans - Quantum, 2021 - quantum-journal.org
Negativity of the Wigner function is arguably one of the most striking non-classical features
of quantum states. Beyond its fundamental relevance, it is also a necessary resource for …
