Kochen-specker contextuality

C Budroni, A Cabello, O Gühne, M Kleinmann… - Reviews of Modern …, 2022 - APS
A central result in the foundations of quantum mechanics is the Kochen-Specker theorem. In
short, it states that quantum mechanics is in conflict with classical models in which the result …

A universal qudit quantum processor with trapped ions

M Ringbauer, M Meth, L Postler, R Stricker, R Blatt… - Nature Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Most quantum computers use binary encoding to store information in qubits—the quantum
analogue of classical bits. Yet, the underlying physical hardware consists of information …

Native qudit entanglement in a trapped ion quantum processor

P Hrmo, B Wilhelm, L Gerster, MW van Mourik… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Quantum information carriers, just like most physical systems, naturally occupy high-
dimensional Hilbert spaces. Instead of restricting them to a two-level subspace, these high …

Assessing the progress of trapped-ion processors towards fault-tolerant quantum computation

A Bermudez, X Xu, R Nigmatullin, J O'Gorman… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
A quantitative assessment of the progress of small prototype quantum processors towards
fault-tolerant quantum computation is a problem of current interest in experimental and …

Practical trapped-ion protocols for universal qudit-based quantum computing

PJ Low, BM White, AA Cox, ML Day, C Senko - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
The notion of universal quantum computation can be generalized to multilevel qudits, which
offer advantages in resource usage and algorithmic efficiencies. Trapped ions, which are …

Converting contextuality into nonlocality

A Cabello - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We introduce a general method which converts, in a unified way, any form of quantum
contextuality, including any form of state-dependent contextuality, into a quantum violation of …

Significant loophole-free test of Kochen-Specker contextuality using two species of atomic ions

P Wang, J Zhang, CY Luan, M Um, Y Wang, M Qiao… - Science …, 2022 - science.org
Quantum measurements cannot be thought of as revealing preexisting results, even when
they do not disturb any other measurement in the same trial. This feature is called …

Control and readout of a 13-level trapped ion qudit

PJ Low, B White, C Senko - arxiv preprint arxiv:2306.03340, 2023 - arxiv.org
To implement useful quantum algorithms which demonstrate quantum advantage, we must
scale currently demonstrated quantum computers up significantly. Leading platforms such …

Certifying sets of quantum observables with any full-rank state

ZP Xu, D Saha, K Bharti, A Cabello - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We show that some sets of quantum observables are unique up to an isometry and have a
contextuality witness that attains the same value for any initial state. We prove that these two …

Solving correlation clustering with QAOA and a Rydberg qudit system: a full-stack approach

JR Weggemans, A Urech, A Rausch, R Spreeuw… - Quantum, 2022 - quantum-journal.org
We study the correlation clustering problem using the quantum approximate optimization
algorithm (QAOA) and qudits, which constitute a natural platform for such non-binary …
