Abstract

Many quantum platforms naturally host Hamiltonians with power-law or even all-to-all connectivity, which may potentially process quantum information in a way much faster than conventional gate-based models. For such non-geometrically-local Hamiltonians, it is then important to both come up with fast protocols and understand the ultimate limit for realizing various information processing tasks. In this talk, I will first overview this quantum speed limit topic, and then dive into the particular task of quantum routing, i.e. permuting unknown quantum states on the qubits. I aim to show [1] a provably optimal Hamiltonian routing protocol on the star graph that is asymptotically faster than gate-based routing; [2] a lower bound on the time to realize the shift unitary using 1d power-law interactions which, perhaps surprisingly, can be much slower than the time for the conventional Lieb-Robinson light cone to spread across the whole system. The latter result shares interesting connections to the classification of 1d quantum cellular automata and symmetry-protected topological order.
