Constant-Depth Unitary Preparation Achieves Exact Dicke States with Polynomial Ancillae
Researchers Vasconcelos and Joshi introduced the first unitary, constant‑depth protocols that prepare exact Dicke states. By exploiting global CZ interactions in neutral‑atom and trapped‑ion platforms, they achieve preparation with only polynomially many ancilla qubits. Adding a quantum FAN‑OUT operation upgrades the method to the QAC⁰_f class, enabling arbitrary‑weight Dicke states in constant depth. This work overturns the long‑standing logarithmic‑depth barrier that has limited Dicke‑state synthesis in standard circuit models.
