The autoconjugacy of a generalized Collatz map
Many of the 2-adic properties of the 3x+1 map generalize to the analogous
mx+r map, where m and r are odd integers. We introduce the corresponding
autoconjugacy map, prove some simple properties of it and make some further
conjectures in the general setting, including weak versions of the periodicity
and divergent trajectories conjectures
Practical randomness amplification and privatisation with implementations on quantum computers
We present an end-to-end and practical randomness amplification and
privatisation protocol based on Bell tests. This allows the building of
device-independent random number generators which output (near-)perfectly
unbiased and private numbers, even if using an uncharacterised quantum device
potentially built by an adversary. Our generation rates are linear in the
repetition rate of the quantum device and the classical randomness
post-processing has quasi-linear complexity - making it efficient on a standard
personal laptop. The statistical analysis is also tailored for real-world
quantum devices.
Our protocol is then showcased on several different quantum computers.
Although not purposely built for the task, we show that quantum computers can
run faithful Bell tests by adding minimal assumptions. In this
semi-device-independent manner, our protocol generates (near-)perfectly
unbiased and private random numbers on today's quantum computers.Comment: Important revisions and improvements to v1. inc. new sections,
improvements to protocol itself and addition of full technical appendixes.

t|ket> : A retargetable compiler for NISQ devices
We present t|ket>, a quantum software development platform produced by Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd. The heart of t|ket> is a language-agnostic optimising compiler designed to generate code for a variety of NISQ devices, which has several features designed to minimise the influence of device error. The compiler has been extensively benchmarked and outperforms most competitors in terms of circuit optimisation and qubit routing
Some more weak Hubert spaces
We construct, by a variation of the method used to construct the Tsirelson spaces, a new family of weak Hilbert spaces which contain copies of lâ‚‚ inside every subspace
