Topic: Quantum Computing with Indefinite Causal Order
Presentation
Abstract:
Our understanding of the physical world deeply relies on the notion that events are ordered according to a time parameter. The event that precedes causes the event that follows. It was recently shown that quantum mechanics can be formulated without reference to time. This new formulation gives rise to a new resource called "Quantum SWITCH".
We first apply this resource to the field of quantum metrology and propose a novel approach to qubit thermometry using a quantum switch, that introduces an indefinite causal order in the probe-bath interaction, to significantly enhance the thermometric precision. We then apply this resource to the field of quantum communication, where we show that information can still be retained when two mutually unbiased quantum measurements are applied sequentially in superposition.
