Quantum Desynchronization of Limit Cycles
It is well known from classical physics that weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators may spontaneously lock their phases. Just like classical synchronization is known to break down due to noise induced phase slips, we show here how the synchronization of continuous variable quantum systems breaks down by proliferation of quantum phase slips. Within a Keldysh path integral...
Quantum optimization beyond QUBO for industrial logistics and scheduling
The increasing complexity of industrial scheduling and transport routing problems motivates the study of alternative optimization formulations and computational paradigms. In this work, we study how higher-order unconstrained binary optimization (HUBO) formulations of such problems map onto quantum optimization workflows in both noisy and fault-tolerant regimes. We consider...
Programmable Dissipation via Partial Quantum Error Correction
Noise is typically treated as the adversary of quantum information processing. For open quantum dynamics, however, dissipation is part of the target physics, creating a tension with fault-tolerant architectures designed to suppress decoherence. Here we show that logical noise can instead be turned into a calibrated resource. We treat the error-correction cycle as a programma...
End-to-End Molecular Dynamics with a Langevin Thermostat on Quantum Circuits
We construct a quantum-circuit framework for finite-temperature molecular dynamics in the canonical ensemble (NVT) with a Langevin thermostat, connecting canonical state preparation to subsequent physical-property readouts. The classical nuclear phase-space distribution is encoded as a Koopman--von Neumann (KvN) wave function, and canonical state preparation is formulated as...
Observation of Electrically Tunable Chirality Inversion in a Slow-Light Waveguide
We identify chiral inversion points in slow-light, glide-plane-symmetric, photonic-crystal waveguides, defined as fixed locations where the local optical chirality changes sign over a narrow wavelength range. We experimentally access this behaviour using a waveguide-embedded InAs/InGaAs quantum dot. The slow-light spectral region is determined from time-integrated and time-r...
Driven-dissipative qubit-resonator dynamics, which are the basis of most dispersive superconducting qubit measurement schemes, are often modeled with Lindblad master equations built from subsystem local jump operators, even when the qubit and resonator are appreciably hybridized. In this work we revisit this setting using a microscopic Bloch-Redfield approach, where dissipat...
Quantum Networks Using Color Defects in Diamond: Principles, Progress, and Perspectives
Large-scale quantum networks will enable entirely new applications of quantum information science in fields such as quantum communication, distributed quantum computing, sensing, and metrology. To build nodes of such networks, diamond color defects are one of the promising candidates. Their excellent optical properties, fast spin-qubit control, and long spin coherence times...
We investigate the indistinguishability of Raman photons generated from two trapped $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions using few-nanosecond excitation pulses. We elucidate how spontaneous scattering back to the initial state affects Hong-Ou-Mandel interference. We identify the mean number of back-decays as a measurable single-emitter quantity that correlates with achievable interference vis...
Control and Quantum-AI Integration
Qubit-efficient variational algorithm for nuclear structure
In this work, we compare three qubit-mapping strategies to study the structure of the nuclear ground state within the shell model description employing the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) approach. Although the initial point for different mappings is a Hamiltonian matrix in many-body particle basis or Slater determinant (SD) basis, the structure of the trial wavefuncti...
We propose and demonstrate a dynamical mirror compensation scheme to restore velocity immunity in a large-area dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope. In an ideal Mach-Zehnder configuration, the phase shift is inherently immune to atomic velocity, but this property is broken by the Earth's rotation via the Coriolis effect. We overcome this by actively rotating the Raman mirrors...
As with classical neural networks, quantum machine learning (QML) models are vulnerable to small input perturbations that can significantly alter output predictions. Certifying the robustness of QML models, particularly on NISQ hardware, is therefore a fundamental step toward trustworthy quantum AI. This chapter reviews our recently developed comprehensive formal framework f...
Claim against Measurement: Statistical Artefacts in Quantum Error Mitigation Benchmarks
QEM is widely regarded as a plausible bridge from NISQ devices to FTQC. Yet the empirical studies used to assess the effectiveness of QEM techniques on concrete problems have received comparatively little scrutiny with respect to the validity of their conclusions. We systematically review 81 recent QEM papers using an eight-criterion framework covering statistical rigour, re...
Commercial and Industry Context
We show that bright squeezed vacuum light, combined with a single-shot quadrature measurement of the post-interaction light, enables the ultrafast generation of macroscopic quantum states in matter. Although in the weak-coupling regime multiphoton quantum light leaves the unconditional matter state as a classical mixture due to light--matter entanglement, quadrature-based he...
Finite-key feasibility of geostationary quantum key distribution
Quantum key distribution (QKD) via geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites offers a compelling route to continuous, continental-scale secure communications. However, operation in this regime entails extreme channel loss and significant background noise, particularly if daylight operation is desired. We present a comprehensive end-to-end feasibility study of a decoy-state...

Analytical model for structured light propagation through a turbulent atmosphere
We develop a straightforward analytical framework for the propagation of spatial light modes through a turbulent atmosphere. Built upon the split-step approach with the mode-based optical field representation, it directly assesses how turbulence-induced phase fluctuations deplete the optical power in the original mode and re-distribute it into neighboring spatial modes. Impo...
Improved sample complexity bound for sample-based Lindbladian simulation
We establish improved sample-complexity bounds for sample-based Lindbladian simulation based on the Wave Matrix Lindbladization (WML) algorithm. For a jump operator $L$ with dimension $d$, we derive an explicit non-asymptotic sample complexity bound $n_d^*(t,\varepsilon) \le \left( \frac{2d+3}{8} \right) \|L\|_\infty^2 \left( \frac{t^2}{\varepsilon} \right)$, holding for sim...
Quantum Synchronization of Fock States
Synchronization, a ubiquitous phenomenon in classical systems, has recently been extended to the quantum domain. Here, we show quantum synchronization of a bosonic mode exhibiting a Fock state-like limit cycle, manifesting as a steady state with a negative Wigner function. We demonstrate that this non-classical state can be phase-locked to an external drive, achieving synchr...
Indefinite Causal Order Reverses the Real-Complex Hierarchy
Can causal relations be subject to quantum indefiniteness, similar to other physical properties? The process-matrix framework formalises this possibility: valid processes are defined by what local laboratories can implement, without assuming a global causal order. Standardly, the local labs are assumed to implement arbitrary quantum instruments. We ask what happens when symm...
Non-Abelian Mixer for QAOA on Hybrid Oscillator-Qubit Quantum Processors
The realization of universal control in hybrid oscillator-qubit quantum processors enables the systematic design and implementation of quantum algorithms. However, the algorithmic development for such platforms remains at an early stage. While the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) has been extensively studied in both continuous-variable (CV) and discrete-vari...
Tunneling phase diagram: A machine-learning framework for multidimensional kinetic isotope effects
The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) is the conventional probe for quantum tunneling, yet its composite nature conflates tunneling with zero-point energy and classical kinetics. Here, we introduce the tunneling phase diagram, a machine-learning framework that decouples true tunneling strength by decoding the nonlinear relationship between KIE and the tunneling factor (\k{appa})....
Koopman--von Neumann Molecular Dynamics for Green--Kubo Transport Coefficients
We formulate the Green--Kubo transport coefficients of classical molecular dynamics as a readout problem for quantum algorithms using the Koopman--von Neumann (KvN) representation. Both NVE and Nosé--Hoover-type NVT dynamics are derived as unitary evolutions on Hilbert spaces associated with the corresponding classical phase spaces. Numerical benchmarks on finite grids show...
Ground-state preparation is a fundamental task in quantum simulation, because the overlap of the prepared state with the true ground state significantly affects the overall cost of subsequent quantum algorithms. We propose a three-stage framework in which a matrix product state (MPS) of an $N$-site system obtained by the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is loaded...
Simulation of smooth models of potentials with singular point using Many-Interacting-Worlds Method
The deterministic many-interacting-worlds method proposed in 2014 showed potential among the numerous interpretation of quantum mechanics. The successful application of this method in harmonic oscillator has been promoted for a long time. In this article we continue the idea about using this method to solve some bounded systems different from harmonic oscillator potential an...
Alternative adiabatic quantum dynamics with algorithmic applications
In adiabatic quantum computing the aim is to track an eigenstate as the Hamiltonian changes. In the usual setup this is achieved using the natural time-dependent Hamiltonian evolution of the system and the main technical tool is the adiabatic theorem. We propose several alternative processes that achieve the same goal, but can easily be implemented on a gate-based quantum co...
Asymptotic magic state distillation with almost linear rate
The overhead exponent -- characterizing the scaling of the number of noisy magic states with respect to the target distillation error -- has been a central quantity to benchmark magic state distillation protocols. On the other hand, a related but less investigated quantity motivated by an information-theoretic viewpoint is the asymptotic distillation rate, the largest ratio...
Quantum Mechanics: Problems and Paradoxes
This book examines a number of problems of quantum mechanics, most of which are not usually discussed. What is the origin of probabilities in the mechanics of the microworld? What is the nature of Planck's constant h? What is the nature of probability amplitudes? What is the wave function? A system of axioms for quantum theory is formulated. A model is studied according to w...
On the question of noise as a resource in quantum computing
Noise is usually regarded as the main obstacle to achieving a scalable quantum advantage, but recent evidence in quantum reservoir computing [L. Domingo, F. Borondo, and G. G. Carlo. Taking advantage of noise in quantum reservoir computing, Scientific Reports, 13:8790, 2023] suggests that certain channels can, in appropriate regimes, improve performance by enriching the rese...
Elfs, transducers and quantum walks
Electric flow sampling (elfs) is a new tool in the quantum walk toolbox and a useful primitive for solving search, sampling and optimization problems on graphs. We refine this tool by showing that there exists a zero-error transducer for implementing elfs. More broadly, we establish a zero-error transducer for reflecting about the intersection of two subspaces, yielding an e...
Hidden Ising models from the generalized Yang-Baxter equation
We introduce a one dimensional spin $\frac{1}{2}$ Hamiltonian with multi-site interactions, but still local. The algebra of its Hamiltonian densities resembles that of the transverse field Ising model. Using this fact we show that its spectrum is free-fermionic but with a huge degeneracy for each level. The source of the degeneracy is a set of local conserved quantities that...
A Neutral-Atom Quantum Compiler with Application-Specific Layout and Hub-Assisted Shuttling
Compiling arbitrary-connectivity NISQ circuits onto monolithic single-zone neutral-atom devices is constrained by a finite interaction range and a minimum separation between simultaneously addressable sites. Under the minimum-separation constraint, the SWAP-only configuration of our pipeline does not return a schedule within a practical time budget on a range of circuits, in...
Quantitative semidefinite certificates for ground-state energies of Pauli Hamiltonians
The $k$-local Hamiltonian problem is a central model for quantum many-body systems and Hamiltonian complexity. Semidefinite programming and noncommutative sum-of-squares hierarchies provide systematic certificates for ground-state energies, but existing finite-convergence results give no quantitative guarantee on the accuracy of the low hierarchy levels accessible in computa...
Quadratic Sums-of-Powers for Fixed-Parameter Tractable Quantum-Circuit Simulation
Strongly simulating a quantum circuit, that is, computing an output amplitude, amounts to summing the circuit's Feynman paths, a weighted count over assignments to the Boolean ``path'' variables. The circuit's gates induce correlations among these variables, forming a graph whose structure determines the hardness of the simulation task. This sum-of-powers viewpoint underlies...
Evaluating Parameter Transfer in FALQON Across Graph Families
We evaluate FALQON parameter transfer for Max-Cut, transferring sequences from small donors ($n \in \{8,10,12\}$) to 14-node recipients. Using 3-regular and Erdős-Rényi families, we show that transfer success is dictated by the recipient graph, not the donor. Transfer excels for dense recipients -- achieving high approximation ratios regardless of the donor -- but remains ch...
Dynamical Casimir photons from rotation of a nonspherical particle
We consider a non-spherical neutral particle spinning in free space and interacting with the electromagnetic quantum vacuum. When the rotation axis is orthogonal to the particle symmetry axis, the scattered field develops frequency sidebands that induce the parametric emission of dynamical Casimir photon pairs. Under the structural constraint of a maximum tip velocity, the e...
Enhanced Density Fluctuations Near a Disordered Chiral Topological Transition
The universal statistics of density fluctuations of localized quantum states may offer unprecedented opportunities to probe and understand quantum transport in connection with dimensionality, coherence, symmetry and disorder. To date, the possible role of topological phase transitions in the fluctuation statistics is not studied yet. Using a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain subjec...
Toward Practical Two-Way Covert Communication
We study two-way covert communication schemes, where information is transmitted by passively modulating a reflected signal back to the source. We consider optical systems, described by quantum bosonic channels. While broadband classical and quantum light sources offer high covert throughput in theory, the associated mode-matching and phase-synchronization requirements make t...
Gate Parameter Lee-Yang Zeros and Dynamical Phases in Quantum Circuits
We propose gate-parameter Lee-Yang zeros of Loschmidt amplitudes as probes of dynamical phases in finite quantum circuits. We illustrate this approach using a brickwork model, where the time evolution is generated by repeated application of a Floquet operator. The Loschmidt amplitude can be expressed as a rational function of the gate parameters. At fixed system size and lar...
Chain rules for conditional entropies in quantum cryptography: limitations and improvements
Security proofs in quantum cryptography rely on conditional entropies. In a many-round protocol, their estimation is a challenging task; one must account for the most general attacks by an eavesdropper, including those that are not independently and identically distributed (i.i.d.) across all rounds. Chain rules address this problem by relating the conditional entropy of a s...
Quantum tomography can reconstruct fine phase-space structures that are not necessarily resolved by measurement itself. We show that the effective resolution of tomography is determined by a sampling operator linked to the Gram matrix of the measurement, which defines the experimentally accessible degrees of freedom and reconstruction bandwidth of the quantum state. Acting a...
Incompleteness is necessary for activation of nonlocality without entanglement
A set of orthogonal product states is said to exhibit "quantum nonlocality without entanglement" if it is locally indistinguishable, i.e. no sequence of local operations and classical communication (LOCC) can perfectly discriminate the states. Building on this foundational idea, recent studies have highlighted the phenomenon of "genuine activation of hidden nonlocality", whe...
Quantum algorithms for density functional theory with minimal readout
While quantum computers have shown significant promise for electronic structure calculations, their potential to accelerate density functional theory (DFT) calculations remains unclear. In this work, we present a qubit-efficient encoding scheme for wavefunctions in Kohn--Sham (KS) DFT, together with a quantum algorithm that computes all occupied orbitals simultaneously. We f...
Starting from the exact Projected Central Limit Theorem on hyperspheres, we rederive the Beta distribution for subsystem occupation probabilities and Lubkin's purity formula from elementary hyperspherical moments, quantifying the finite-size ``platykurtic'' suppression of tails relative to the Gaussian approximation used in standard eigenstate-thermalization and typicality t...
Non-Perturbative Closed Form for the Typical Bipartite Mutual Information of Haar-Random States
The average bipartite quantum mutual information $\langle I(A{:}B)\rangle$ of Haar-random pure states can be expressed exactly through Page's formula in terms of digamma functions. We show that this quantity admits a single non-perturbative closed form: $\langle I(A{:}B)\rangle = (d_A^2-1)(d_B^2-1)\,\mathcal{G}(d_A,d_B,d_E)$, where $\mathcal{G}$ is given by an explicit conve...
Bound-state-protected phase metrology for a quantum emitter in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger bath
We study local phase estimation for a single quantum emitter coupled to a bosonic Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) bath within a microscopic lattice model. Dimerization opens a central gap supporting an in-gap emitter-bath bound state, which suppresses complete relaxation of the emitter coherence. A Dyson-equation analysis yields the local bath Green's function, the in-gap bound-s...
Tripartite Interactions Induced Strongly Correlated Quantum Emissions
Efficient generation of multiquanta emission is crucial for quantum information processing but remains challenging due to its typical reliance on higher-order quantum processes. Here, we theoretically demonstrate strongly correlated photon-phonon emission enabled by direct tripartite interaction. This interaction facilitates the formation of high-order multiquanta states wit...
For treating correlated electronic systems on quantum computers, we propose a quantum-classical hybrid scheme for dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). In the quantum part of the scheme, we use modified quantum phase estimation (QPE) circuits suitable for the one-particle Green's function (GF) at a finite temperature so that we can extract spectral amplitudes and the excitatio...
