Majorana zero modes and topological quantum computation

S. Das Sarma, Michael Freedman, Chetan Nayak · 26 Oct 2015

Abstract We provide a current perspective on the rapidly developing field of Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in solid-state systems. We emphasise the theoretical prediction, experimental realisation and potential use of MZMs in future information processing devices through braiding-based topological quantum computation (TQC). Well-separated MZMs should manifest non-Abelian braiding statistics suitable for unitary gate operations for…

Quantum algorithms: an overview

Ashley Montanaro · 12 Jan 2016

Abstract Quantum computers are designed to outperform standard computers by running quantum algorithms. Areas in which quantum algorithms can be applied include cryptography, search and optimisation, simulation of quantum systems and solving large systems of linear equations. Here we briefly survey some known quantum algorithms, with an emphasis on a broad overview of their applications…

Practical challenges in quantum key distribution

Eleni Diamanti, Hoi-Kwong Lo, Bing Qi et al. · 7 Nov 2016

Abstract Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises unconditional security in data communication and is currently being deployed in commercial applications. Nonetheless, before QKD can be widely adopted, it faces a number of important challenges such as secret key rate, distance, size, cost and practical security. Here, we survey those key challenges and the approaches that are…

Interfacing spin qubits in quantum dots and donors—hot, dense, and coherent

Lieven M. K. Vandersypen, Hendrik Bluhm, James S. Clarke et al. · 22 Aug 2017

Abstract Semiconductor spins are one of the few qubit realizations that remain a serious candidate for the implementation of large-scale quantum circuits. Excellent scalability is often argued for spin qubits defined by lithography and controlled via electrical signals, based on the success of conventional semiconductor integrated circuits. However, the wiring and interconnect requirements for quantum…

Building logical qubits in a superconducting quantum computing system

Jay Gambetta, Jerry M. Chow, Matthias Steffen · 13 Jan 2017

Abstract The technological world is in the midst of a quantum computing and quantum information revolution. Since Richard Feynman’s famous ‘plenty of room at the bottom’ lecture (Feynman, Engineering and Science 23 , 22 (1960)), hinting at the notion of novel devices employing quantum mechanics, the quantum information community has taken gigantic strides in understanding…

npj Quantum Information template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the npj Quantum Information format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the npj Quantum Information template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does npj Quantum Information use?
npj Quantum Information uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. npj Quantum Information 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to npj Quantum Information?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready npj Quantum Information document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the npj Quantum Information template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the npj Quantum Information format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is npj Quantum Information?
Nature Portfolio journal (Springer Nature). It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by Springer Nature.
Can I export a submission-ready npj Quantum Information PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official npj Quantum Information template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the npj Quantum Information template cost?
You can start writing in the npj Quantum Information template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready npj Quantum Information PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
