We show that postselection offers a nonclassical advantage in metrology. In every parameter-estimation experiment, the final measurement or postprocessing incurs some cost. Postselection can improve rate of Fisher information (the average learned about an unknown parameter from experimental trial) to This improvement, we show, stems negativity quasiprobability distribution, quantum extension probability distribution. classical theory, which all observables commute, our distribution be...

Abstract Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) strongly modulate the shallow electric potential in piezoelectric materials. In semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs, SAWs can thus be employed to transfer individual electrons between distant quantum dots. This mechanism makes SAW technologies a promising candidate convey information through circuit of logic gates. Here we present two essential building blocks SAW-driven circuit. First, implement directional coupler allowing partition...

In a recent paper [Das, Modak, and Bera, Phys. Rev. A 107, 042413 (2023)], Das et al. claim that Kirkwood-Dirac negativity is not required to achieve anomalous values of the quantum Fisher information encoded in postselected (filtered) particles. We argue this wrong. Further, we show optimal metrology directly proportional total nonclassicality.

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can create moving quantum dots in piezoelectric materials. Here we show how electron-spin qubits located on dynamic be entangled. Previous theoretical and numerical models of quantum-dot entanglement generation have been insufficient to study dynamics realistic experimental devices. We utilize state-of-the-art graphics processing units simulate the wave function two electrons carried by a SAW through 2D semiconductor heterostructure. build methodology implement...

In this paper we present a protocol for the implementation of positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) on massive fermionic qubits.

Our defines set pulse sequences, necessary manipulation ideal qubit basis, that avoids errors associated with excitations outside computational subspace. A novel scheme manipulates adiabatically, while also retaining high speed and ability to perform general single-qubit rotation. This basis generates spatially localized logical states, making readout straightforward. consider...
