Antennas transmit information wirelessly from one location to another via electromagnetic waves. Miniaturizing them, however, is challenging since the radiation efficiencies of all traditional antennas, based on the principles of classical electromagnetics, plummet when their dimensions are shrunk to tiny fractions of the radiated wavelength. Lately, a new generation of antennas whose operations are underpinned by non-classical principles have been demonstrated and they can overcome this limitation. This enables embedded applications that were hitherto inaccessible. In addition, beam steering, which normally requires a large phased array (multiple antenna elements each much larger than the wavelength), can now be accomplished with a single element much smaller than the wavelength. Some of these antennas also have stealth attributes for secure and covert communication, which makes this new genre a disruptive new technology.
Quantum Markov models have been successfully used to accurately model various physical quantum systems in fields such as quantum optics, optomechanics and superconducting circuits and they provide the basis for (measurement-based) quantum feedback control. However, the quantum Ma…
An increase in earth observation missions has increased the demand of efficient design and optimization of satellite constellations. Maximizing coverage of the target while effectively utilizing the limited orbital resources is one of the critical design challenges for complex co…
Optimal power flow (OPF) solved by an interior-point method (IPM) requires repeatedly solving Newton linear systems. When variational quantum linear solvers (VQLS) are used, each IPM iteration involves an additional nested inner variational optimization loop, which can significan…
Maximal quantum leakage quantifies privacy against adversaries with arbitrary intentions. In this work, we prove that computing this leakage is equivalent to minimum-error quantum state discrimination with equal priors. This establishes a computable operational interpretation, ad…
The emergence of Quantum Software Engineering (QSE) responds to the need for systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of quantum software. Within this context, quantum computer certification represents a significant chall…
This letter proves realistic grid properties limit the applicability of quantum computers for power flow. Grids that split into two large regions meeting at only a few buses, common in transmission networks, force the pseudo condition number of the DC susceptance matrix to grow p…
