New linear programming bounds for QECCs! If I read the results correctly this is vastly general and includes all physically realized codes for CV systems.

Continuous Variable Quantum MacWilliams Identities
We derive bounds on general quantum error correcting codes against the displacement noise channel. The bounds limit the distances attainable by codes and also apply in an approximate setting. Our main...

Happy to announce that I just moved to Lausanne to work at EPFL in the new group headed by Thomas Vidick!

Going skiing on the first day after a move definitely makes for a fun start. :)

Happy holidays everybody! If you get bored feasting or need to take a rest from rewatching Home Alone for the 20th time -- here a little paper from us: arxiv.org/abs/2412.17909 .
We show that GKP codes form CV 2-designs and how to use this to design class. shadow protocols.
Continuous-variable designs and design-based shadow tomography from random lattices
We investigate state designs for continuous-variable quantum systems using the aid of lattice-like quantum states. These are code states of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes. We show that for an n...

Factoring an integer with three oscillators and a qubit
A common starting point of traditional quantum algorithm design is the notion of a universal quantum computer with a scalable number of qubits. This convenient abstraction mirrors classical computatio...

Hi all!

I just uploaded my recently defended thesis, I hope you like it. Hit me up if you want to chat about anything GKP/QEC or life. :)

The fabulous world of GKP codes
Quantum error correction is an essential ingredient in the development of quantum technologies. Its subject is to investigate ways to embed quantum Hilbert spaces into a physical system such that this...
