• Abstract: In practical measurements, it is widely recognized that reducing the measurement time leads to decreased accuracy. However, whether an inherent speed-accuracy trade-off exists as a fundamental physical constraint for quantum measurements is not obvious, and the answer remains unknown. Here, we establish a fundamental speed-accuracy trade-off relation based on the energy conservation law and the locality. Our trade-off works as a no-go theorem that the zero-error measurement for the operators that are non-commutative with the Hamiltonian cannot be implemented with finite time. This relation universally applies to various existing errors and disturbances defined for quantum measurements. We furthermore apply our methods to quantum computations and provide another speed-accuracy trade-off relation for unitary gate implementations, which works as another no-go theorem that any error-less implementations of quantum computation gates changing energy cannot be implemented with finite time, and a speed-disturbance trade-off for general quantum operations.

  Measurement-based quantum computation with optical time-domain multiplexing is a promising method to realize a quantum computer from the viewpoint of scalability. Fault tolerance and universality are also realizable by preparing appropriate resource quantum states and electro-optical feedforward that is altered based on measurement results. We demonstrate that a fast and flexible nonlinear feedforward realizes the essential measurement required for fault-tolerant and universal quantum computation.

• Measurement based estimator scheme for continuous quantum error correction [52.77024349608834]
  Canonical discrete quantum error correction (DQEC) schemes use projective von Neumann measurements on stabilizers to discretize the error syndromes into a finite set. Quantum error correction (QEC) based on continuous measurement, known as continuous quantum error correction (CQEC), can be executed faster than DQEC and can also be resource efficient. We show that by constructing a measurement-based estimator (MBE) of the logical qubit to be protected, it is possible to accurately track the errors occurring on the physical qubits in real time.

• The time-energy uncertainty relation for quantum events [0.0]
  Textbook quantum mechanics treats time as a classical parameter, and not as a quantum observable with an associated Hermitian operator. quantum clocks allow for a measurement of the "time at which an event happens" by conditioning the system's evolution on an additional quantum degree of freedom. We derive here two em true uncertainty relations that relate the uncertainty in the quantum measurement of the time at which a quantum event happens on a system to its energy uncertainty.
