Quantum computational resources and validation protocols for a three-mode non-Gaussian trilinear Hamiltonian
Abstract
Non-Gaussian interactions are a key ingredient for achieving universality in continuous-variable quantum computation, yet their experimental characterization and the validation of their correct implementation remain challenging tasks. In this work, we focus on a three-mode non-Gaussian trilinear Hamiltonian that has recently been realized in superconducting microwave platforms, and present a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the computational resources it generates, together with experimentally accessible protocols to validate their presence. We systematically investigate its ability to generate two key resources for quantum computation: multipartite entanglement and Wigner negativity. In particular, using displaced-parity Bell tests, we demonstrate the generation of nonlocal states and thereby provide an operational certification of multipartite entanglement in the non-Gaussian states produced by the dynamics. We further quantify the Wigner logarithmic negativity and benchmark it against that of established non-Gaussian resource states. Building on this resource-based characterization, we introduce a measurement-efficient protocol for the experimental validation of the Hamiltonian implementation without requiring full reconstruction of the Wigner function. The protocol combines the measurement of zero-variance observables (nullifiers and stabilizers) with a limited number of targeted phase-space measurements, leading to a drastic reduction of the experimental overhead.
