Efficiently verifiable quantum advantage on near-term analog quantum simulators

Existing schemes for demonstrating quantum computational advantage are subject to various practical restrictions, including the hardness of verification and challenges in experimental implementation. Meanwhile, analog quantum simulators have been realized in many experiments to study novel physics.

Candidate for a self-correcting quantum memory in two dimensions

An interesting problem in the field of quantum error correction involves finding a physical system that hosts a “self-correcting quantum memory,” defined as an encoded qubit coupled to an environment that naturally wants to correct errors. To date, a quantum memory stable against finite-temperature effects is only known in four spatial dimensions or higher. Here, we take a different approach to realize a stable quantum memory by relying on a driven-dissipative environment.
