Abstract

Deterministic Secure Quantum Communication (DSQC) is a quantum cryptographic technique engineered to transfer a message through a quantum channel, requiring an auxiliary classical channel for eavesdropping verification and decoding, but without prior key distribution. This article presents a theoretical high-dimensional prepare and measure DSQC protocol using the Reed-Solomon erasure coding to ensure data resilience to noise. This protocol offers the following benefits: it eliminates the need for quantum memory or entanglement, it can be built with commercially available technology, and its higher capacity improves the overall transmission rate.

Spectral Theory of Semisimple Bivariate Bicycle Codes

Extending the classical theory of two-dimensional cyclic codes, we develop an algebraic approach to bivariate bicycle codes. Using Frobenius-orbit idempotents, formulas for logical dimensions are derived and lower bounds on minimum distances are established. A systematic theory of code symmetries is formulated to construct a structured block-monomial subgroup of coordinate permutations. Several explicit examples show how to generate these codes from first principles without relying on numerical searches. An appendix extends the analysis to BCH-based product constructions.

Mutually unbiased bases as extremal probes of isotropic random Hamiltonians

Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are central finite structures in quantum information. We ask whether complete MUB systems have an extremal probing property beyond their projective \(2\)-design identities. For an isotropic Gaussian traceless Hamiltonian, we prove that, among labeled unions of \(d+1\) orthonormal bases, a complete MUB union has the stochastically largest sampled maximum. Each basis induces the same regular-simplex Gaussian block; mutual unbiasedness eliminates cross-block covariance, joint Gaussianity yields independence, and a centered-convex Gaussian correlation inequality makes this independent coupling extremal. We also derive a radial-mixture extension and prove exact MUB-family collapse for fully matched diagonal-cost constructions.

Beyond sensitivity: mechanism-resolved error budgets for designing quantum sensors

Quantum sensors are specified by a headline sensitivity, yet applications also demand accuracy and reliability. The dominant limiter of one metric is often known, but no method resolves how interacting mechanisms combine into a signed, per-mechanism budget for each metric. We introduce a framework that computes a sensor's sensitivity, accuracy, and robustness from one open-system simulation and attributes each to its limiting mechanism. For a nitrogen-vacancy diamond ensemble the attribution inverts across metrics: dephasing limits sensitivity, the thermal ground-state shift limits accuracy, and optical leakage limits robustness. At identical sensitivity the recovered-field bias spans $8$ to $1500$\,nT, so tuning to sensitivity alone can miss the accuracy target by two orders of magnitude. The same modeling transfers to a cesium optically pumped magnetometer recording a human magnetocardiogram. As a digital twin, it predicts the gain from addressing each limiter, so sensors can be designed to the required metrics.
