Research contents

We work on fundamental problems in quantum information theory to understand the information processing in the most fundamental level and to break the limits in today's technologies. The research topics include quantum algorithms, quantum protocols, quantum software, quantum certification and quantum error mitigation.

Research results

◻ Quantum protocols

[1] Contrasting to point-to-point communication, quantum network channels contain advantages over classical counterparts with channel capacities. We have shown higher channel capacities in interferences channels of four parties.

[2] We have also devised a protocol for preserving optimal measuremements in long-distance quantum communication.

◻ The development of Quantum Algorithms

[3] We are interested in quantum algorithms that outperfom classical cones. Our results include a generalization of quantum amplitude amplification

[4] and an improvement of quantum machine learning with probabilistic kernel tricks.

◻ Quantum Performance Verification

[5] We are interested to certify the properties existing in quantum but not classical systems. We have verified contextual advantages in quantum measurements

[6] and certified randomness in quantum measurements.

◻ Error Control

[7] The currently available quantum systems contain various types of noise. We have performed quantum tomography on realistic systems and verified crosstalk errors in measurements.

[8] We have developed a quantum protocol to mitigate errors in quantum measurements.
