Combining dynamical decoupling with fault-tolerant quantum computation
We study how dynamical decoupling (DD) pulse sequences can improve the reliability of quantum computers. We prove upper bounds on the accuracy of DD-protected quantum gates and derive sufficient conditions for DD-protected gates to outperform unprotected gates. Under suitable conditions, fault-tolerant quantum circuits constructed from DD-protected gates can tolerate stronger noise and have a lower overhead cost than fault-tolerant circuits constructed from unprotected gates. Our accuracy estimates depend on the dynamics of the bath that couples to the quantum computer and can be expressed either in terms of the operator norm of the bath’s Hamiltonian or in terms of the power spectrum of bath correlations; we explain in particular how the performance of recursively generated concatenated pulse sequences can be analyzed from either viewpoint. Our results apply to Hamiltonian noise models with limited spatial correlations
Patch-based Progressive 3D Point Set Upsampling
We present a detail-driven deep neural network for point set upsampling. A
high-resolution point set is essential for point-based rendering and surface
reconstruction. Inspired by the recent success of neural image super-resolution
techniques, we progressively train a cascade of patch-based upsampling networks
on different levels of detail end-to-end. We propose a series of architectural
design contributions that lead to a substantial performance boost. The effect
of each technical contribution is demonstrated in an ablation study.
Qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method significantly
outperforms the state-of-the-art learning-based and optimazation-based
approaches, both in terms of handling low-resolution inputs and revealing
high-fidelity details.Comment: accepted to cvpr2019, code available at https://github.com/yifita/P3
