We report the first experimental demonstration of quantum synchronization. This is achieved by performing a digital simulation of a single spin-$1$ limit-cycle oscillator on the quantum computers of the IBM Q System. Applying an external signal to the oscillator, we verify typical features of quantum synchronization and demonstrate an interference-based quantum synchronization blockade. Our results show that state-of-the-art noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers are powerful enough to implement realistic dissipative quantum systems. Finally, we discuss limitations of current quantum hardware and define requirements necessary to investigate more complex problems.

We develop an analytical framework to study the synchronization of a quantum self-sustained oscillator to an external signal. Our unified description allows us to identify the resource on which quantum synchronization relies, and to compare quantitat ively the synchronization behavior of different limit cycles and signals. We focus on the most elementary quantum system that is able to host a self-sustained oscillation, namely a single spin 1. Despite the spin having no classical analogue, we first show that it can realize the van der Pol limit cycle deep in the quantum regime, which allows us to provide an analytical understanding to recently reported numerical results. Moving on to the equatorial limit cycle, we then reveal the existence of an interference-based quantum synchronization blockade and extend the classical Arnold tongue to a snake-like split tongue. Finally, we derive the maximum synchronization that can be achieved in the spin-1 system, and construct a limit cycle that reaches this fundamental limit asymptotically.
Uncovering the origin of the arrow of time remains a fundamental scientific challenge. Within the framework of statistical physics, this problem was inextricably associated with the second law of thermodynamics, which declares that entropy growth pro ceeds from the systems entanglement with the environment. It remains to be seen, however, whether the irreversibility of time is a fundamental law of nature or whether, on the contrary, it might be circumvented. Here we show that, while in nature the complex conjugation needed for time reversal is exponentially improbable, one can design a quantum algorithm that includes complex conjugation and thus reverses a given quantum state. Using this algorithm on an IBM quantum computer enables us to experimentally demonstrate a backward time dynamics for an electron scattered on a two-level impurity.
Quantum network coding has been proposed to improve resource utilization to support distributed computation but has not yet been put in to practice. We investigate a particular implementation of quantum network coding using measurement-based quantum computation on IBM Q processors. We compare the performance of quantum network coding with entanglement swapping and entanglement distribution via linear cluster states. These protocols outperform quantum network coding in terms of the final Bell pair fidelities but are unsuitable for optimal resource utilization in complex networks with contention present. We demonstrate the suitability of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices such as IBM Q for the study of quantum networks. We also identify the factors that limit the performance of quantum network coding on these processors and provide estimates or error rates required to boost the final Bell pair fidelities to a point where they can be used for generation of genuinely random cryptographic keys among other useful tasks. Surprisingly, the required error rates are only around a factor of 2 smaller than the current status and we expect they will be achieved in the near future.
Pricing interest-rate financial derivatives is a major problem in finance, in which it is crucial to accurately reproduce the time-evolution of interest rates. Several stochastic dynamics have been proposed in the literature to model either the insta ntaneous interest rate or the instantaneous forward rate. A successful approach to model the latter is the celebrated Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework, in which its dynamics is entirely specified by volatility factors. On its multifactor version, this model considers several noisy components to capture at best the dynamics of several time-maturing forward rates. However, as no general analytical solution is available, there is a trade-off between the number of noisy factors considered and the computational time to perform a numerical simulation. Here, we employ the quantum principal component analysis to reduce the number of noisy factors required to accurately simulate the time evolution of several time-maturing forward rates. The principal components are experimentally estimated with the $5$-qubit IBMQX2 quantum computer for $2times 2$ and $3times 3$ cross-correlation matrices, which are based on historical data for two and three time-maturing forward rates. This manuscript is a first step towards the design of a general quantum algorithm to fully simulate on quantum computers the Heath-Jarrow-Morton model for pricing interest-rate financial derivatives. It shows indeed that practical applications of quantum computers in finance will be achievable in the near future.
Entanglement properties of IBM Q 53 qubit quantum computer are carefully examined with the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) technology. We study GHZ-like states with multiple qubits (N=2 to N=7) on IBM Rochester and compare their maximal viola tion values of Mermin polynomials with analytic results. A rule of N-qubits orthogonal measurements is taken to further justify the entanglement less than maximal values of local realism (LR). The orthogonality of measurements is another reliable criterion for entanglement except the maximal values of LR. Our results indicate that the entanglement of IBM 53-qubits is reasonably good when N <= 4 while for the longer entangle chains the entanglement is only valid for some special connectivity.
