• Abstract: The development and performance of quantum technologies heavily relies on the properties of the quantum states, which often require careful optimization of the driving conditions of all underlying components. In quantum key distribution (QKD), optical injection locking (OIL) of pulsed lasers has recently been shown as a promising technique to realize high-speed quantum transmitters with efficient system design. However, due to the complex underlying laser dynamics, tuning such laser system is both a challenging and time-consuming task. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an OIL-based QKD transmitter that can be automatically tuned to its optimum operating state by employing a genetic algorithm. Starting with minimal knowledge of the laser operating parameters, the phase coherence and the quantum bit error rate of the system are optimized autonomously to a level matching the state of the art.

  QuantumSEA is an in-time sparse exploration for noise-adaptive quantum circuits. It aims to achieve two key objectives: (1) implicit circuits capacity during training and (2) noise robustness. Our method establishes state-of-the-art results with only half the number of quantum gates and 2x time saving of circuit executions.

• Sparse Quantum State Preparation for Strongly Correlated Systems [0.0]
  In principle, the encoding of the exponentially scaling many-electron wave function onto a linearly scaling qubit register offers a promising solution to overcome the limitations of traditional quantum chemistry methods. An essential requirement for ground state quantum algorithms to be practical is the initialisation of the qubits to a high-quality approximation of the sought-after ground state. Quantum State Preparation (QSP) allows the preparation of approximate eigenstates obtained from classical calculations, but it is frequently treated as an oracle in quantum information.

We propose classically-optimized VQE (co-VQE), where the whole process of the optimization is efficiently conducted on a classical computer. In co-VQE, we only use quantum computers to measure nonlocal quantities after the parameters are optimized.
