Indefinite Causal Order and Quantum Coordinates
Classically, the causal order of two timelike separated events $A$ and $B$ is fixed---either $A$ before $B$ or $B$ before $A$. This is no longer true in quantum theory, where it is possible to encount...

Experimental quantum-enhanced kernel-based machine learning on a photonic processor - Nature Photonics
A quantum kernel estimation by which feature data points are evaluated through the unitary evolution of two-boson Fock states is experimentally demonstrated on a photonic integrated processor. This model provides enhanced accuracy with respect to commonly used classical methods for several classification tasks.
