• Abstract summary: We show that a DV-CV hybrid approach, applied to superconducting Kerr parametric oscillators (KPOs), enables us to entangle a pair of Schr"odinger's cat states by two methods. Our work offers powerful applications of DV-CV hybridization and marks a first step toward developing a multi-qubit platform.

• Abstract: In quantum information processing, two primary research directions have emerged: one based on discrete variables (DV) and the other on the structure of quantum states in a continuous-variable (CV) space. Integrating these two approaches could unlock new potentials, overcoming their respective limitations. Here, we show that such a DV-CV hybrid approach, applied to superconducting Kerr parametric oscillators (KPOs), enables us to entangle a pair of Schr\"odinger's cat states by two methods. The first involves the entanglement-preserving conversion between Bell states in the Fock-state basis (DV encoding) and those in the cat-state basis (CV encoding). The second method implements a $\sqrt{\textrm{iSWAP}}$ gate between two cat states following the procedure for Fock-state encoding. This simple and fast gate operation completes a universal quantum gate set in a KPO system. Our work offers powerful applications of DV-CV hybridization and marks a first step toward developing a multi-qubit platform based on planar KPO systems.

  We create a dual-species Rydberg array consisting of rubidium (Rb) and cesium (Cs) atoms. We generate a Bell state between Rb and Cs hyperfine qubits via an interspecies controlled-phase gate. We combine interspecies entanglement with native midcircuit readout to achieve quantum non-demolition measurement of a Rb qubit.

• A critical Schr\"odinger cat qubit [0.0]
  In cat qubits, an engineered dissipation scheme combining two-photon drive and loss has been used to stabilize this manifold. In Kerr cat qubits, where highly-performing gates can be engineered, two-photon drive and Kerr nonlinearity cooperate to confine the system. We show that large detunings and small, but non-negligible, two-photon loss rates are fundamental to achieve optimal performance.

  We propose methods to initialize on a gate-based quantum computer a general class of quantum spin wave functions. VBS states are the exact ground states of a class of interacting quantum spin models introduced by Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb and Tasaki. We find that schemes to prepare VBS states based on their tensor-network representations yield quantum circuits that are too deep to be within reach of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers.

We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
