Article Abstract

In the field of continuous-variable quantum information processing, non-Gaussian states with negative values of the Wigner function are crucial for the development of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer. While several non-Gaussian states have been generated experimentally, none have been created using ultrashort optical wave packets, which are necessary for high-speed quantum computation, in the telecommunication wavelength band where mature optical communication technology is available. In this paper, we present the generation of non-Gaussian states on wave packets with a short 8-ps duration in the 1545.32 nm telecommunication wavelength band using photon subtraction up to three photons. We used a low-loss, quasi-single spatial mode waveguide optical parametric amplifier, a superconducting transition edge sensor, and a phase-locked pulsed homodyne measurement system to observe negative values of the Wigner function without loss correction up to three-photon subtraction. These results can be extended to the generation of more complicated non-Gaussian states and are a key technology in the pursuit of high-speed optical quantum computation.

Selective engagement of long-latency reflexes in postural control through wobble board training.

Sci Rep

Long-latency reflexes (LLRs) are critical precursors to intricate postural coordination of muscular adaptations that sustain equilibrium following abrupt disturbances. Both disturbances and adaptive responses reflect excursions of postural control from quiescent Gaussian stability under a narrow bell curve, excursions beyond Gaussianity unfolding at many timescales. LLRs slow with age, accentuating the risk of falls and undermining dexterity, particularly in settings with concurrent additional tasks.

Wignerian symplectic covariance approach to the interaction-time problem.

Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH University of Krakow, al. Mickiewicza 30, 30-059, Kraków, Poland.

The concept of the symplectic covariance property of the Wigner distribution function and the symplectic invariance of the Wigner-Rényi entropies has been leveraged to estimate the interaction time of the moving quantum state in the presence of an absolutely integrable time-dependent potential. For this study, the considered scattering centre is represented initially by the Gaussian barrier. Two modifications of this potential energy are considered: a sudden change from barrier to barrier and from barrier to well.

The quadratic cost functions, exemplified by mean-square-error, often exhibit limited robustness and flexibility when confronted with impulsive noise contamination. In contrast, the generalized maximum correntropy (GMC) criterion, serving as a robust nonlinear similarity measure, offers superior performance in such scenarios. In this paper, we develop a recursive constrained adaptive filtering algorithm named recursive generalized maximum correntropy with a forgetting factor (FF-RCGMC).

With the growing size of the system, this distributed Kalman filter (DKF) is widely used in multi-sensor networks. However, it is difficult for DKF to accurately estimate state values in non-Gaussian noise environments. In this paper, a regression equation is first constructed to contain all sensor node information.
