PRX Quantum 3, 020364 (2022) - Published 28 June, 2022

Generating the ground state of a free massive scalar bosonic quantum field theory: two quantum algorithms with nearly optimal runtimes are devised, delivering super-quadratic speedup over the state-of-the-art.

Avoiding Barren Plateaus Using Classical Shadows

Stefan H. Sack, Raimel A. Medina, Alexios A. Michailidis, Richard Kueng, and Maksym Serbyn

PRX Quantum 3, 020365 (2022) - Published 29 June, 2022

Variational quantum algorithms are augmented by an additional subroutine that efficiently detects signatures of barren plateaus – unfavorable parameter regions that prevent optimization due to vanishing gradients.

Characterization of Quantum Betting Tasks in Terms of Arimoto Mutual Information

Andrés F. Ducuara and Paul Skrzypczyk

PRX Quantum 3, 020366 (2022) - Published 30 June, 2022

Using the framework of quantum resource theories, inspired by the concepts of betting and risk aversion, a broad and continuous family of four-way correspondences between important information-theoretic quantities and operational tasks is established.
