Agreed - really informative and well organized. A maintained version of this would be a very welcome resource for the community

A really impressive work. It would be better if this is uploaded to a website so that the information can be updated.

Francesco Anna Mele Oct 03 2023 07:15 UTC

Thank you very much, Eric! Our model (depicted in Fig.2c) is defined by coupling Alice's input signals to environmental systems through unitary interactions. Consequently, this model is consistent with quantum mechanics and, in particular, it does not violate the quantum no-cloning theorem. Once inf

Hi Francesco, this is excellent work! I'm always excited to see more ways to carry out QI transport. I have one conceptual question that may be answered in your paper in a way I did not fully understand. By thermal noise, one usually means phonon interactions. If a photon's QI is lost to the system

Very interesting paper and good comment by Jason. I agree that such insights should be clearly written up and simple to find in the literature!

I want to add that the fact that the Pauli group is not complemented within the Clifford group (i.e. there's no group $G$ in Jason's comment) is known from

This is very interesting! I am sure the explicit character tables will be helpful in the future.

I just wanted to point out that Conjectures 5.4 and 5.5 are known (or follow directly from known results). In the below, always take $n\geq 3$. The main facts being used are the observation that $\ma

Is it clear if this protocol works for noise models where different Pauli errors occur with different probabilities? My understanding right now is that you have to assume each fault occurs with the same probability *p*, but maybe there is some way around that?

Adrian Müller Sep 24 2023 20:17 UTC

Ah, true, the hermitian conjugate is only equivalent to the inverse for unitaries, simple mistake. Thanks!

Oscar Higgott Sep 23 2023 14:46 UTC

Yes the EM3 distance does usually match the embedded distance, although we found one case where they differed (for n=320, k=18 with EM3 noise the minimum-weight error included Pauli errors that caused time-separated detection events). Thank you for pointing me to your updated GitHub repo, and I agre

The spectral decomposition you use in Lemma 1 is only valid for normal matrices, not all diagonalizable matrices. Of course, the lemma (trace = sum of eigenvalues) is true for all diagonalizable matrices, but for diagonal matrices that are not normal, the proof of that fact requires more than just a

Ali Fahimniya Sep 21 2023 23:00 UTC

Thanks for your comment, Oscar! Yes, the DP1 distance the way you defined (and is equivalent to the code distance defined in our paper) equals to the lesser of "the embedded distance of the superlattice" and "twice the embedded distance of the dual of the superlattice". It is still interesting to me

Thanks a lot for the hints! I'm now surprised I haven't found them earlier in my own searches. I'll soon upload another version of the manuscript crediting their work appropriately.

Oscar Higgott Sep 21 2023 10:58 UTC

Very interesting work, congratulations! Where you compare to our work you say "At similar encoding rates, the codes shown here have a larger relative code distance". The reason for the discrepancy is that we report the distance of our circuits, which include two-qubit errors, whereas you are reporti

Alex Fischer Sep 20 2023 17:08 UTC

Thanks for the references Josu. I see that what we called single-qubit site-dependent Pauli noise is something you have studied and called i.n.i.d noise. We will make sure to reference these works in the next version.

Josu Etxezarreta Martinez Sep 20 2023 15:30 UTC

Very interesting manuscript. I see that you have considered Pauli noise that shows different probabilities for each of the qubits of the surface code, which I see that you named single-qubit, site-dependent Pauli noise. I attach here a couple of references regarding studies of surface codes with suc

The numerical efficiency of computing the fidelity in this way was previously pointed out in https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.02623.

I did not get one part. If we assume that the particle with mass M is not a dark matter particle, wouldn't we observe the same effect? Or the reasoning is based upon no corrections from other interactions?

Sergey Bravyi Sep 15 2023 20:53 UTC

Hi Pavel, thanks a lot for your comments and suggestions. Most of our results are extensions of your BP-OSD work so I am really glad to get a feedback from you. The generalized bicycle code [[126,12,10]] is indeed very close to codes from our paper in terms of the distance and encoding rate. It is a

Thank you for bringing this serial CPU-only Python implementation to our attention. We added a reference to it, as well as a note thanking you for pointing it out to us, in a v2 version that will appear on arXiv shortly.

Hi Kishor,

Thank you for your very kind words regarding our paper and for your helpful feedback!

Hi Yiren,

Thanks for the question. This is indeed a bit implicit in the literature, but well-known. One can for instance recover it from the lower bounds by Beals et al in \[1\]. Here is the short additional argument: Let $x \in \\{0,1\\}^N$ be a bit string and assume the Hamming weight of $x$ is e

I have a simple and basic question: why the $\sqrt {Nk}$ query complexity is optimal? It seems to be a well-known result but I fail to find a reference.

Very impressive and unexpected results! My congratulations to the authors!

I noticed that you mentioned our [[882, 24, ≤ 24]] code. I want to point out that in the same paper in Appendix C we also constructed a family of weight-6 generalized bicycle (GB) codes, which are obtained from two weight

In the [[10,3,3]] code (Fig. 8), let us write two sets of paths for 𝑋̅ – one with weight two and one with weight three. The operators of weight two commuting with the stabilizers are {𝑋1 𝑋3, 𝑋2 𝑋4, 𝑋7 𝑋9, 𝑋8 𝑋10}. The operators of weight three are {𝑋1 𝑋5 𝑋7, 𝑋3 𝑋5 𝑋7, 𝑋1 𝑋5 𝑋9, 𝑋3 𝑋5 𝑋9, 𝑋2 𝑋6 𝑋8, 𝑋

Thanks for bringing this interesting article to our attention! There does seem to be a comparison between the thermodynamic algorithms we presented and these Monte-Carlo algorithms, because 1) both are nondeterministic, and can be seen as Markov processes, and 2) both can achieve O(d^2) operations a

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your very important question! Though we do think a lot about this, we do not have a good theoretical handle on the QAOA behavior. Let me say two things.

First, the speedup we observe is not unique; Boulebnane and Montanaro ([arXiv:2208.06909][1]) observed a similar speed

I am curious about how your results relate to the various Monte Carlo algorithms for matrix inversion and linear algebra. From a superficial skim, your algorithms seem to be a continuous time formulation of an MC algorithm for Matrix inversion.

Reaching+beating state of the art performance is great and certainly the most important metric, but is there a deep theory here *why* QAOA would be expected to do well here? Something about the geometry of the Hilbert space to naturally reflect the problem? I'd be curious to know, in the authors' es

Hi LC,

Firstly I would like to thank you for your interests in our work. It’s great to see that you have applied some results of the QPP model in your work, and I would be certainly interested in reading the paper when it’s available!

Thank you for your reply. We appreciate it that you take a look at our paper and discuss the differences of these two models.

Hi all, first of all, thanks to you both for amazing papers. These are really neat results, and look to be pretty game-changing contributions to the theory of QSP!

Dear Zhan Yu,

Thanks for your message (I also received your email). I agree that your QPP model closely resembles our work, although at a first glance there seem to be a few differences such as the use of both $U$ and $U^{\dagger}$ in your method (leading to negative degrees in the trigonometric po

I would like to kindly point out that the generalized QSP model in this work looks pretty similar to the quantum phase processing (QPP) model proposed in our previous paper https://scirate.com/arxiv/2209.14278. The motivation mentioned in the introduction of this work also

Hi Seok,

Many thanks for your comments and for spotting some unclear statements about our work! Also, sorry for quite a late reply.

In short, we agree with you that the current proof of Theorem 1 omits several important details. In the upcoming version we will add all the missing details.

I think SciRate stores the original arXiv title, which had a typo. I updated it manually.
