The physics of quantum mechanics is the inspiration for, and underlies, quantum
computation. As such, one expects physical intuition to be highly influential in the …

Quantum repeaters hold promise for scalable long-distance quantum communication. The
basic building block is a quantum light–matter interface that generates non-classical …

By pulsed s-shell resonant excitation of a single quantum dot-micropillar system, we
generate long streams of 1000 near-transform-limited single photons with high mutual …

We demonstrate high-fidelity, quantum nondemolition, single-shot readout of a
superconducting flux qubit in which the pointer state distributions can be resolved to below …

We describe a cheating strategy enabled by the features of massive open online courses
(MOOCs) and detectable by virtue of the sophisticated data systems that MOOCs provide …

It is an oft-cited fact that no quantum code can support a set of fault-tolerant logical gates that
is both universal and transversal. This no-go theorem is generally responsible for the …

We present a compactly integrated, 625 MHz clocked coherent one-way quantum key
distribution system which continuously distributes secret keys over an optical fibre link. To …

We observe measurement-induced qubit state mixing in a transmon qubit dispersively
coupled to a planar readout cavity. Our results indicate that dephasing noise at the qubit …

Using a low temperature growth method, we have prepared atomically flat Pb thin films over
a wide range of film thickness on a Si-(111)-7× 7 surface. The Pb film morphology and …

Quantum communication has seen rapid progress towards practical large-scale networks,
with quantum key distribution (QKD) spearheading this development. While fibre-based …
