Quantum advantage in postselected metrology

DRM Arvidsson-Shukur, N Yunger Halpern… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
In every parameter-estimation experiment, the final measurement or the postprocessing
incurs a cost. Postselection can improve the rate of Fisher information (the average …

Contextuality as a resource for models of quantum computation with qubits

J Bermejo-Vega, N Delfosse, DE Browne, C Okay… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
A central question in quantum computation is to identify the resources that are responsible
for quantum speed-up. Quantum contextuality has been recently shown to be a resource for …

Quantifying magic for multi-qubit operations

JR Seddon, ET Campbell - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The development of a framework for quantifying 'non-stabilizerness' of quantum operations
is motivated by the magic state model of fault-tolerant quantum computation and by the need …

Contextuality and Wigner negativity are equivalent for continuous-variable quantum measurements

RI Booth, U Chabaud, PE Emeriau - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Quantum computers promise considerable speedups with respect to their classical
counterparts. However, the identification of the innately quantum features that enable these …

Contextuality and Wigner-function negativity in qubit quantum computation

R Raussendorf, DE Browne, N Delfosse, C Okay… - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We describe schemes of quantum computation with magic states on qubits for which
contextuality and negativity of the Wigner function are necessary resources possessed by …

Phase-space-simulation method for quantum computation with magic states on qubits

R Raussendorf, J Bermejo-Vega, E Tyhurst, C Okay… - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We propose a method for classical simulation of finite-dimensional quantum systems, based
on sampling from a quasiprobability distribution, ie, a generalized Wigner function. Our …

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 …
