• Abstract: We propose a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme for terahertz (THz) frequency applications operating at room temperature. Motivated by classical MIMO communications, a transmit-receive beamforming scheme is proposed that converts the rank-$r$ MIMO channel between Alice and Bob into $r$ parallel lossy quantum channels. Compared with existing single-antenna QKD schemes, we demonstrate that the MIMO QKD scheme leads to performance improvements by increasing the secret key rate and extending the transmission distance. Our simulation results show that multiple antennas are necessary to overcome the high free-space path loss at THz frequencies. We demonstrate a non-monotonic relation between performance and frequency, and reveal that positive key rates are achievable in the $10-30$ THz frequency range. The proposed scheme can be used for both indoor and outdoor QKD applications for beyond fifth-generation ultra-secure wireless communications systems.

  We propose and demonstrate an architecture for fluxonium-fluxonium two-qubit gates mediated by transmon couplers (FTF) FTF enables stronger couplings for gates using non-computational states while simultaneously suppressing the static controlled-phase entangling rate ($ZZ$) down to kHz levels. We show that FTF can be applied to a variety of fluxonium gate schemes to improve gate fidelities and passively reduce unwanted $ZZ$ interactions.

  We propose a novel communication design for federated learning (FL) in a massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless system. Key novelty of random orthogonalization comes from the tight coupling of FL and two unique characteristics of massive MIMO -- channel hardening and favorable propagation. We extend this principle to the downlink communication phase and develop a simple but highly effective model broadcast method for FL.

  This paper proposes a model-driven deep learning (MDDL)-based channel estimation and feedback scheme for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. To reduce the uplink pilot overhead for estimating the high-dimensional channels from a limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains, we propose to jointly train the phase shift network and the channel estimator as an auto-encoder. Numerical results show that the proposed MDDL-based channel estimation and feedback scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
