High-Fidelity Remote Graph State Preparation for Blind Quantum Computation

Abstract

Measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) relies on entangled graph states, yet existing remote state preparation (RSP) protocols prepare only separable states, requiring subsequent entangling gates on the remote server. Here, we introduce Remote Graph State Preparation (RGSP), a framework that prepares arbitrary graph states directly from a single high-dimensional photonic qudit. By encoding multiple qubits and their graph connectivity into the photon's structured phase profile, RGSP can reduce or, for small computations, completely eliminate the need for server-side entangling operations among qubits. We show that under a reasonable noise model the resulting state fidelity is independent of the graph topology. Under cumulative fiber phase drift, we demonstrate that this fidelity is significantly enhanced by a ``highest-weight-first'' mode reordering strategy. Finally, we show that RGSP enables reduced-SWAP universal blind quantum computing on arbitrary topologies, reducing qubit overhead e.g., for a six-qubit Quantum Fourier Transform from $420$ RSP qubits with a standard brickwork topology to $48$ RSP qubits. These results establish RGSP as a resource-efficient, topology-invariant primitive for quantum-secured cloud computing.

The Quantum Eraser Paradox

The Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser experiment is commonly interpreted as implying that in quantum mechanics a choice made at one time can influence an earlier event. We here suggest an extension of the experiment that results in a paradox when analysed in a local realist interpretation combined with backward causation (``dynamical retrocausality''). We argue that resolving the paradox requires giving up the idea that, in quantum mechanics, a choice can influence the past in this way, and that it instead requires a violation of Statistical Independence without (what most people think of as) retrocausality. Finally, we propose an implementation of the experiment that we believe to be possible with existing technology. This new experiment can distinguish between different types of hidden-variables theories in a way that Bell-type tests cannot: unlike in a Bell test, the measurement setting here is set by an earlier outcome, which makes the consistency of the backwards influence itself testable. We classify the fixed-point (consistency-enforcing) hidden-variables models of the experiment, which can reproduce quantum mechanics only if the backwards influence has no observable effect.

Quantum simulation of wave optics in weakly inhomogeneous media using block-encoding

We propose a quantum algorithm that simulates the propagation of a light field through a weakly inhomogeneous medium. In the paraxial approximation, the wave equation in an inhomogeneous material takes the form of the Schrödinger equation with a time-dependent Hamiltonian. This reduction is used to simulate wave optical dynamics on a quantum computer. Beam propagator operators for a short propagation distance are constructed using an efficient and flexible block-encoding that enables the simulation of various optical setups. The algorithm is showcased by simulating the propagation of a one-dimensional Gaussian beam through a lens of finite thickness, and the resulting spherical aberration is demonstrated.

Clifford gates with logical transversality for self-dual CSS codes

Quantum error-correcting codes with high encoding rate are good candidates for large-scale quantum computers as they use physical qubits more efficiently than codes of the same distance that encode only a few logical qubits. Some logical gate of a high-rate code can be fault-tolerantly implemented using transversal physical gates, but its logical operation may depend on the choice of a symplectic basis that defines logical Pauli operators of the code. In this work, we focus on $[\![n,k,d]\!]$ self-dual Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes with $k \geq 1$ and prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the code to have a symplectic basis such that (1) transversal logical Hadamard gates $\bigotimes_{j=1}^{k} \bar{H}_j$ can be implemented by transversal physical Hadamard gates $\bigotimes_{i=1}^{n} H_i$, and (2) for any $(a_1,\dots,a_k)\in\{-1,1\}^k$, transversal logical phase gates $\bigotimes_{j=1}^{k} \bar{S}_j^{a_j}$ can be implemented by transversal physical phase gates $\bigotimes_{i=1}^{n} S_i^{b_i}$ for some $(b_1,\dots,b_n)\in\{-1,1\}^n$. Self-dual CSS codes satisfying the conditions include any codes with odd $n$. We also generalize the idea to concatenated self-dual CSS codes and show that certain logical Clifford gates have multiple transversal implementations, each by logical gates at a different level of concatenation. Several applications of our results for fault-tolerant quantum computation with low overhead are also provided.
