• Abstract: The quantum no-broadcasting theorem states that it is impossible to produce perfect copies of an arbitrary quantum state, even if the copies are allowed to be correlated. Here we show that, although quantum broadcasting cannot be achieved by any physical process, it can be achieved by a virtual process, described by a Hermitian-preserving trace-preserving map. This virtual process is canonical: it is the only map that broadcasts all quantum states, is covariant under unitary evolution, is invariant under permutations of the copies, and reduces to the classical broadcasting map when subjected to decoherence. We show that the optimal physical approximation to the canonical broadcasting map is the optimal universal quantum cloning, and we also show that virtual broadcasting can be achieved by a virtual measure-and-prepare protocol, where a virtual measurement is performed, and, depending on the outcomes, two copies of a virtual quantum state are generated. Finally, we use canonical virtual broadcasting to prove a uniqueness result for quantum states over time.

  We prove that no linear process can uphold sample efficiency, unitary covariance, permutation invariance, and classical consistency. We use Schur-Weyl duality to provide a significantly simplified derivation of the uniqueness of the canonical virtual broadcasting map. Our approach naturally extends the uniqueness of virtual broadcasting to the 1-to-N case and provides its construction.

  We develop a quantum circuit integrated with a post-processing protocol to implement virtual quantum broadcasting. We experimentally verify the closest physical map, known as the optimal quantum cloner, to the virtual broadcasting map. We identify the difference in statistical outcomes between the input of the optimal quantum cloner and its local output as the fundamental error imposed by quantum mechanics.

• Quantum Supermaps are Characterized by Locality [0.6445605125467572]
  We provide a new characterisation of quantum supermaps in terms of an axiom that refers only to sequential and parallel composition. We do so by providing a simple definition of locally-applicable transformation on a monoidal category. In our main technical contribution, we use this diagrammatic representation to show that locally-applicable transformations on quantum channels are in one-to-one correspondence with deterministic quantum supermaps.

• Unconventional mechanism of virtual-state population through dissipation [125.99533416395765]
  We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.

  We introduce higher-order partial derivatives of a probability distribution of particle positions as a new object that shares basic properties of quantum mechanical states needed for a quantum algorithm. We prove that the propagation via the map built from those universal maps reproduces up to a prefactor exactly the evolution of the quantum mechanical state. We implement several well-known quantum algorithms, analyse the scaling of the needed number of realizations with the number of qubits, and highlight the role of destructive interference for the cost of emulation.
