• Abstract: With the significance of continuous-variable quantum computing increasing thanks to the achievements of light-based quantum hardware, making it available to learner audiences outside physics has been an important yet seldom-tackled challenge. Similarly, the rising focus on fault-tolerant quantum computing has shed light on quantum error correction schemes, turning it into the locus of attention for industry and academia alike. In this paper, we explore the widely adopted framework of quantum error correction based on continuous variable systems and suggest a guide on building a self-contained learning session targeting the famous Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code through its geometric intuition.

  This paper revisits the quantum visual encoding strategies, the initial step in quantum machine learning. Investigating the root cause, we uncover that the existing quantum encoding design fails to ensure information preservation of the visual features after the encoding process. We introduce a new loss function named Quantum Information Preserving to minimize this gap, resulting in enhanced performance of quantum machine learning algorithms.
