## Efficient Arbitrary Simultaneously Entangling Gates on a trapped-ion quantum computer. (arXiv:1905.09294v1 [quant-ph])

Efficiently entangling pairs of qubits is essential to fully harness the
power of quantum computing. Here, we devise an exact protocol that
simultaneously entangles arbitrary pairs of qubits on a trapped-ion quantum
computer. The protocol requires classical computational resources polynomial in
the system size, and very little overhead in the quantum control compared to a
single-pair case. We demonstrate an exponential improvement in both classical
and quantum resources over the current state of the art. We implement the

## Transition from the mean-field to the bosonic Laughlin state in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate. (arXiv:1905.09594v1 [cond-mat.quant-gas])

We consider a weakly-interacting Bose-Einstein condensate that rotates in
either a harmonic, or a weakly-anharmonic trapping potential. Performing
numerical calculations, we investigate the behaviour of the gas in these two
cases as the angular momentum, or equivalently as the rotational frequency of
the trap increases. While in the case of a purely-harmonic potential the gas
makes a transition from the mean-field regime to the correlated, "Laughlin",
regime, in the case of anharmonic confinement the mean-field approximation

## Verification of independent quantum devices. (arXiv:1905.09790v1 [quant-ph])

Quantum computers are on the brink of surpassing the capabilities of even the
most powerful classical computers. This naturally raises the question of how
one can trust the results of a quantum computer when they cannot be compared to
classical simulation. Here we present a scalable verification technique that
exploits the principles of measurement-based quantum computing to link quantum
circuits of different input size, depth, and structure. Our approach enables

## Throwing bridges: where and how can classical and quantum view be connected?. (arXiv:1905.09323v1 [quant-ph])

We have proposed in several recent papers a critical view of some parts of
quantum mechanics (QM) that is methodologically unusual because it rests on
analysing the language of QM by using some elementary but fundamental tools of
can be questioned and establishes new links with a classical view, which is
significant in the debate on the interpretations of QM. We propose here a brief

## Efficient variational approach to dynamics of a spatially extended bosonic Kondo model. (arXiv:1905.09615v1 [cond-mat.str-el])

We develop an efficient variational approach to studying dynamics of a
localized quantum spin coupled to a bath of mobile spinful bosons. We use
parity symmetry to decouple the impurity spin from the environment via a
canonical transformation and reduce the problem to a model of the interacting
bosonic bath. We describe coherent time evolution of the latter using bosonic
Gaussian states as a variational ansatz. We provide full analytical expressions
for equations describing variational time evolution that can be applied to

## Can three-body recombination purify a quantum gas?. (arXiv:1905.09811v1 [cond-mat.quant-gas])

Three-body recombination in quantum gases is traditionally associated with
heating, but it was recently found that it can also cool the gas. We show that
in a partially condensed three-dimensional homogeneous Bose gas three-body loss
could even purify the sample, that is, reduce the entropy per particle and
increase the condensed fraction $\eta$. We predict that the evolution of $\eta$
under continuous three-body loss can, depending on small changes in the initial

## Quantum phase-sensitive diffraction and imaging using entangled photons. (arXiv:1905.09357v1 [quant-ph])

We propose a novel quantum diffraction imaging technique whereby one photon
of an entangled pair is diffracted off a sample and detected in coincidence
with its twin. The image is obtained by scanning the photon that did not
interact with matter. We show that when a dynamical quantum system interacts
with an external field, the phase information is imprinted in the state of the
field in a detectable way. The contribution to the signal from photons that

## Certified Quantum Randomness from Untrusted Light. (arXiv:1905.09665v1 [quant-ph])

A remarkable aspect of quantum theory is that certain measurement outcomes
are entirely unpredictable to all possible observers. Such quantum events can
be harnessed to generate numbers whose randomness is asserted based upon the
underlying physical processes. We formally introduce and experimentally
demonstrate an ultrafast optical quantum randomness generator that uses a
totally untrusted photonic source. While considering completely general quantum
attacks, we certify randomness at a rate of $1.1\,\mathrm{Gbps}$ with a

## Interaction-Induced Wave Function Collapse Respects Conservation Laws. (arXiv:1803.02687v5 [quant-ph] UPDATED)

Because quantum measurements have probabilistic outcomes they can seem to
violate conservation laws in individual experiments. Despite these appearances,
strict conservation of momentum, energy, and angular momentum can be shown to
be consistent with the assumption that the entangling interactions that
constitute measurements induce a real collapse of the wave function. The
essential idea is that measured systems always have some pre-existing
entanglement relations with (usually larger) systems, and that apparent changes

## Controlling single-photon detector ID210 with bright light. (arXiv:1905.09380v1 [quant-ph])

We experimentally demonstrate that a single-photon detector ID210
commercially available from ID Quantique is vulnerable to blinding and can be
fully controlled by bright illumination. In quantum key distribution, this
vulnerability can be exploited by an eavesdropper to perform a faked-state
attack giving her full knowledge of the key without being noticed. We consider
the attack on standard BB84 protocol and a subcarrier-wave scheme, and outline
a possible countermeasure.
