• Abstract: We investigate the advantages of high-dimensional encoding for a quantum key distribution protocol. In particular, we address a BBM92-like protocol where the dimension of the systems can be larger than two and more than two mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) can be employed. Indeed, it is known that, for a system whose dimension $d$ is a prime or the power of a prime, up to $d+1$ MUBs can be found. We derive an analytic expression for the asymptotic key rate when $d+1$ MUBs are exploited and show the effects of using different numbers of MUBs on the performance of the protocol. Then, we move to the non-asymptotic case and optimize the finite key rate against collective and coherent attacks for generic dimension of the systems and all possible numbers of MUBs. In the finite-key scenario, we find that, if the number of rounds is small enough, the highest key rate is obtained by exploiting three MUBs, instead of $d+1$ as one may expect.

  We study the power of unentangled quantum proofs with non-negative amplitudes, a class which we denote $textQMA+(2)$. In particular, we design global protocols for small set expansion, unique games, and PCP verification. We show that QMA(2) is equal to $textQMA+(2)$ provided the gap of the latter is a sufficiently large constant.

  We explore the concept of Mutually Unbiased Bases (MUBs) in discrete quantum systems. It is known that for dimensions $d$ that are powers of prime numbers, there exists a set of up to $d+1$ bases that form an MUB set. However, the maximum number of MUBs in dimensions that are not powers of prime numbers is not known.

  DPPs were introduced by Macchi as a model in quantum optics the 1970s. Most applications require sampling from a DPP, and given their quantum origin, it is natural to wonder whether sampling a DPP on a classical computer is easier than on a classical one. Vanilla sampling consists in two steps, of respective costs $mathcalO(N3)$ and $mathcalO(Nr2)$ operations on a classical computer, where $r$ is the rank of the kernel matrix.

We demonstrate the effectiveness of our protocol by devising an efficient quantum implementation of the Goemans-Williamson algorithm for various NP-hard problems.

• Random quantum circuits anti-concentrate in log depth [118.18170052022323]
  We study the number of gates needed for the distribution over measurement outcomes for typical circuit instances to be anti-concentrated. Our definition of anti-concentration is that the expected collision probability is only a constant factor larger than if the distribution were uniform. In both the case where the gates are nearest-neighbor on a 1D ring and the case where gates are long-range, we show $O(n log(n)) gates are also sufficient.
