We show that quantum nondemolition measurements using an optical parametric amplifier can be a universal tool for ultrafast quantum information processing, enabling, photon-number-resolving measurements and deterministic generation of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states.

Recently, the study of quantum materials through thermal characterization methods has attracted much attention. These methods, although not as widely used as electrical methods, can reveal intriguing physical properties in materials that are not detectable by electrical methods, particularly in electrical insulators. A fundamental understanding of these physical properties is critical for the development of novel applications for energy conversion and storage, quantum sensing and quantum information processing. In this review, we introduce several commonly used thermal characterization methods for quantum materials, including specific heat, thermal conductivity, thermal Hall effect, and Nernst effect measurements. Important theories for the thermal properties of quantum materials are discussed. Moreover, we introduce recent research progress on thermal measurements of quantum materials. We highlight experimental studies on probing the existence of quantum spin liquids, Berry curvature, chiral anomaly, and coupling between heat carriers. We also discuss the work on investigating the quantum phase transitions and quasi-particle hydrodynamics using thermal characterization methods. These findings have significantly advanced knowledge regarding novel physical properties in quantum materials. In addition, we provide some perspectives on further investigation of novel thermal properties in quantum materials.

Abstract We study the competition between Haar-random unitary dynamics and measurements for unstructured systems of qubits. For projective measurements, we derive various properties of the statistical ensemble of Kraus operators analytically, including the purification time and the distribution of Born probabilities. The latter generalizes the Porter–Thomas distribution for random unitary circuits to the monitored setting and is log-normal at long times. We also consider weak measurements that interpolate between identity quantum channels and projective measurements. In this setting, we derive an exactly solvable Fokker–Planck equation for the joint distribution of singular values of Kraus operators, analogous to the Dorokhov–Mello–Pereyra–Kumar (DMPK) equation modelling disordered quantum wires. We expect that the statistical properties of Kraus operators we have established for these simple systems will serve as a model for the entangling phase of monitored quantum systems more generally.

Quantum Internet has the potential to support a wide range of applications in quantum communication and quantum computing by generating, distributing, and processing quantum information. Generating a long-distance quantum entanglement is one of the most essential functions of a quantum Internet to facilitate these applications. However, entanglement is a probabilistic process, and its success rate drops significantly as distance increases. Entanglement swapping is an efficient technique used to address this challenge. How to efficiently manage the entanglement through swapping is a fundamental yet challenging problem. In this paper, we will consider two swapping methods: (1) BSM: a classic entanglement-swapping method based on Bell State measurements that fuse two successful quantum links, (2) nfusion: a more general and efficient swapping method based on Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger measurements, capable of fusing n successful quantum links. Our goal is to maximize the entanglement rate for multiple quantum-user pairs over the quantum Internet with an arbitrary topology. We propose efficient entanglement management algorithms that utilized the unique properties of BSM and n-fusion. Evaluation results highlight that our approach outperforms existing routing protocols.
