Local Quantum Mechanics

Initially proposed by Hugh Everett III as the “theory of the universal wave function,” the many worlds interpretation has since been developed and refined into one of the most influential ways of giving meaning to quantum mechanics. This volume explores the idea that if one adopts the many worlds interpretation, then...

Rethinking Quantum Circuits

These notes develop four interconnected ways of reading a quantum circuit. A circuit for us begins as an operational composition of gates; then, it becomes a diagram whose local equalities may be used as calculations; next, it becomes a protected process once errors, syndromes, and logical degrees of freedom are separa...

From Bits to Qubits: The Theory and Practice of Quantum Data Encoding

Encoding classical data into quantum systems is a foundational step in the execution of nearly all quantum algorithms, and a critical bottleneck in realizing practical quantum advantage. This review provides a comprehensive account of the concepts, algorithms, and practical considerations associated with quantum data e...

Neglecting non-locality: the response to EPR

The 1935 Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paper, “Can Quantum–Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?”, stands as a landmark in the foundational debates over quantum mechanics. While the paper has since become one of Einstein’s most cited works, it initially received little attention, and the fe...

Time reversal of complex evolution on a quantum computer

The Boltzmann-Loschmidt dispute in 1876-1877 discussed the problem of time reversal of ther- malization from time reversible classical equations of motion. Here, 150 years later, we highlight this problem in the frame of quantum computing. A quantum protocol is proposed that allows to perform a time reversal of complex...

Know Your Qubits, Know Your Users: Personas for Quantum Software

The advancement of quantum hardware and the intricacies of quantum computing make well-designed quantum software increasingly necessary. Due to the interdisciplinarity of the field, it is crucial to understand the perspectives and specific needs of involved stakeholders, for example, to balance the desired level of abs...
