Hardware and Error Correction

  • Coherent room-temperature dipole synchronization in nanocavity sheets

    Plasmonic nanocavities enable the synchronization of spatially distant emissive dipoles through strong near-field coupling in sub-nm gaps. We report formation of a room-temperature synchronized dipole state in locally-ordered plasmonic nanogap 2D arrays under non-resonant continuous-wave pumping. Unlike lasers, photonic Bose-Einstein condensates, or exciton-polariton condens...

  • Breakeven demonstration of quantum low-density parity-check codes

    High-rate quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are a leading candidate for fault-tolerant quantum computing. They feature higher encoding rates than planar alternatives such as the surface code, but their implementation often entails significant hardware hurdles like the need for long-range couplers. We leverage the flexibility of a trapped-ion quantum computer to...

  • Nonreversible Gauge Fields in Fokker--Planck Dynamics: Supersymmetric Hamiltonians and Learned Finite Forces

    We formulate stationary-density-preserving nonreversible perturbations of Fokker--Planck dynamics as gauge fields that deform relaxation spectra while leaving the invariant state fixed. When detailed balance holds, a similarity transformation maps the reversible Fokker--Planck operator to a Witten-Laplacian-type supersymmetric Hamiltonian; nonreversible gauges then appear as...

  • A framework for low-overhead quantum fault tolerance via spacetime lifting

    Fault-tolerant quantum computation is inherently a spacetime problem, requiring not merely good static quantum error-correcting codes but also low-overhead protocols for protecting and manipulating encoded quantum information over time. Fault complexes provide a homological framework for treating such protocols as single spacetime objects. In this work, we initiate the study...

  • Deployed trusted-node quantum key distribution over 300 km with a multi-core fiber access link

    Quantum key distribution (QKD) is increasingly considered for deployment in realistic communication networks, where long distances, heterogeneous fiber infrastructure, and coexistence with classical traffic present substantial challenges. Here, we demonstrate trusted-node QKD between Linköping University and the Stockholm hub of the Swedish national quantum communication inf...

  • Forbidden transitions in superconducting artificial atoms

    Artificial atoms built from Josephson junctions have become a powerful tool to explore the limits of quantum optics due to their strong coupling to electromagnetic fields and their sensitivity to changes at the single-photon level. This sensitivity to quantum fluctuations complements their metrological and computational use, which are based on the precise oscillating frequen...

  • Barbell Codes: qLDPC Codes for Superconducting Quantum Hardware

    The major challenge on the way to fault-tolerant quantum computing comes from the insufficient quality of hardware components and the difficulty of scaling their number without further compromising fidelity. Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) codes offer a promising solution by encoding logical qubits with low overhead and at a comparatively high code distance. However...

  • Quantum computing for accurate large-scale electronic-structure calculations: DFT-embedded, post-processed quantum-selected configuration interaction

    We present a multilevel embedding framework for quantum chemistry calculations on a quantum computer. In our framework, a quantum algorithm treats the strongly correlated active space, while a high-level wave-function method such as coupled cluster theory or multireference perturbation theory recovers the remaining correlation in the surrounding region. A sampling-based quan...

Control and Quantum-AI Integration

  • Quantum element-wise transforms

    Quantum algorithms for basic numerical linear algebraic tasks have proven essential for translating diverse problems to a unified quantum computational context. Many of these tasks -- e.g., applying a polynomial function to the spectrum of a matrix embedded in a unitary process (a so-called block encoding), or taking linear combinations of block encodings -- are well-address...

  • Benchmarking Floquet Master Equations for Periodically Driven Open Quantum Systems

    The dynamics of open quantum systems is commonly described by quantum master equations derived under the assumption of weak system-bath coupling and a separation of timescales between system and bath. When the system is additionally subjected to a periodic driving, the validity of the resulting Floquet master equations is further restricted to regimes of weak or high-frequen...

  • Shattering the Symmetry Trap in Fixed-Ansatz VQE: An Accelerated ADAPT-VQE Study of Three Pillar Molecules under Bravyi-Kitaev Mapping

    Fixed-ansatz Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE), such as the Unitary Coupled Cluster with Singles and Doubles (UCCSD) framework, frequently suffer from severe initialization paralyzation and zero-gradient traps when evaluated using the non-local Bravyi-Kitaev (BK) fermion-to-qubit mapping. In this work, we systematically demonstrate how the Adaptive Derivative-Assembled...

  • Periodic Symmetry-Adapted Encoding: Qubit Reduction in Crystalline Electronic Structure

    We extend the symmetry-adapted encoding (SAE) framework to periodic electronic structure, enabling qubit-efficient quantum simulation of crystalline materials. By constructing a $Γ$-point supercell Hamiltonian from a folded $k$-point calculation and systematically identifying all applicable space-group symmetry generators -- including spin-parity, point-group, and crystal tr...

  • Symmetries and overparametrization properties of Hamiltonian variational ansatzes for the $(1+1)$d $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory

    We perform detailed studies of five Hamiltonian variational ansatzes (HVA) based on the Hamiltonian of the $(1+1)$d $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory. The ansatzes are designed to respect local and global symmetries of the original Hamiltonian and therefore act on a finely segmented state Hilbert space. Following Larocca et al. (2023), we numerically study the dimension of...

  • A universal and efficient hybrid digital-analog fermionic quantum simulator

    We present a universal framework to harness fermionic ultracold atom platforms for quantum simulation, showing how variational algorithms on existing hardware can simulate many-body systems well beyond the hardware's native Hamiltonian. Our analysis provides evidence that one can quantum simulate the ground-state properties of a broad class of gapless target Hamiltonians of...

  • Enhancement of charge correlations and real-space topological marker on an interacting non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model

    We investigate the interacting non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, focusing on the interplay between topology and charge ordering. Using a real-space topological marker, charge correlations, and the complex many-body spectrum, we map out the phase diagram under periodic and open boundary conditions. We show that the topological marker remains a robust diagnostic...

Starting from three physically motivated considerations, forward and backward nonlinear stochastic differential equations are derived via the Ito calculus. Kinematic...

  • Nanostructure modelling with early fault tolerant quantum computers

    Semiconductor nanostructures are central to many developing technologies. Notably, double quantum dots are especially important for semiconductor spin-qubit architectures, quantum sensing applications, and quantum-dot solar cells. Accurate modelling is highly desirable but conventional methods can struggle when dynamics involve more than two interacting electrons. In this wo...

  • Quantum Thermal Logic Gates

    We propose a new concept for quantum thermal logic gates -- analogous to classical electronic logic gates -- that exploit the heat current in a coupled quantum-dot system tunnel-coupled to metallic thermal reservoirs for logic operations in quantum circuits. We obtained a remarkable one-to-one correspondence with the structure of classical electronic logic gate circuits. An...

  • Robustness of Entanglement Manipulation for almost i.i.d. sources

    We study the robustness of asymptotic entanglement manipulation beyond the exact i.i.d. regime, focusing on Mazzola--Sutter--Renner (MSR) almost i.i.d. sources, which allow a sublinear number of deviations from a tensor-power structure. For pure MSR sources along a bipartite reference state $|φ\rangle_{AB}$, we prove that the entanglement concentration rate is robust: every...

  • A closed system setting for quantum thermalisation in free fermions

    We study thermalisation and the possible occurrence of the Mpemba effect in a closed quantum setting that mimics the interaction of a system with thermal reservoirs coupled only at its boundaries. Specifically, we consider a tripartite geometry in which a finite chain, initially prepared at a finite temperature, is suddenly connected on both sides to two semi-infinite chains...

  • Reliability of asymptotic work extraction

    Extracting work from quantum states is a fundamental task in quantum thermodynamics. Previous studies have primarily focused on determining the best achievable rate of work extraction, and remarkably, this characterization appeared to remain unchanged regardless of the choice of allowed processes: whether one considers the operationally motivated class of energy-conserving t...

  • Quantum enhanced rare event discovery and sampling

    Financial crashes, cascading failures in infrastructure, and critical errors in AI systems are frequently triggered by events that occur with extremely small probability. Efficiently discovering and sampling events with probability below a threshold is therefore of critical interest. Yet this task is highly non-trivial using existing classical or quantum methods. Being rare,...

  • Quantum Algorithms for Triangle Cut Sparsification

    Triangles capture higher-order structures in graphs and are fundamental to applications such as clustering and network analysis. To enable efficient use of such structures at scale, we study the problem of \emph{triangle cut sparsification}, which aims to reduce the graph size while approximately preserving triangle counts across every cut. We investigate \emph{quantum algor...

  • Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of collapse models in the strongly non-Gaussian regime

    Standard objective collapse models offer a unified approach to the quantum measurement problem but predict an unphysical, indefinite increase in the energy of the system. The dissipative Diósi-Penrose (dDP) model resolves this heating issue by introducing a linear friction mechanism. However, this modification induces complex, non-Gaussian phase-space dynamics. We rigorously...

  • Multiple Quantum Hypothesis Testing: One-Shot Pairwise Bounds and Sharp Asymptotics

    We consider Bayesian discrimination among multiple quantum states and establish a dimension-free one-shot upper bound on the minimum probability of error in terms of the sum of pairwise errors. This resolves a conjecture of Audenaert and Mosonyi [J. Math. Phys. 55 (2014)] and improves the multiple quantum Chernoff bound of Li [Ann. Statist. 44 (2016)] by removing its dimensi...

  • Semidefinite-programming hierarchies for classically simulable state families

    Identifying whether a state family admits an irreducible quantum advantage is a fundamental task in quantum resource theory and quantum information processing. Here we study classically simulable state families, namely those residing within the convex hull of pairwise commuting families and therefore admitting a classical explanation. We develop a complete semidefinite-progr...

  • Charge-Conjugation Violation and Population Asymmetry in Bipartite Fermionic Lattices

    Charge conjugation violation (CCV) is a central concept in particle physics and appears also for quasiparticles in quantum many-body systems, which typically relies on an embedded external symmetry breaking to the underlying system. An open question is how an intrinsic CCV mechanism could emerge and what its macroscopic consequences would be. We establish sublattice kinks in...

  • Ferroelectric brightening of spin forbidden dark excitons in a WSe2/hybrid perovskite heterostructure

    Long-lived dark excitons in monolayer WSe2 present promising candidates for carrying spin and valley information, but their optical access and spin manipulation have conventionally required the use of strong external magnetic fields. Here, using a ferroelectric hybrid perovskite heterostructure, we leverage the ferroelectric proximity effect to break the WSe2's in-plane rota...

  • Quantum-limited estimation of atmospheric turbulence via spatial mode decomposition

    We establish the ultimate precision limit for estimating the optical spatial coherence radius (Fried parameter) within a quantum metrological framework. In the weak field regime, we show that spatial-mode decomposition -- originally introduced for superresolution imaging -- enables substantially more precise estimation than conventional direct imaging when the receiver apert...

  • Efficient Quantum Circuit Construction of Controlled Time-Evolution for Arbitrary Pauli-Sum Hamiltonians

    Controlled time-evolution circuits select forward or backward Hamiltonian time evolution according to the state of an ancilla qubit. They are fundamental building blocks in quantum eigenvalue transformation of unitaries, Hamiltonian filtering, and related quantum algorithms. A direct realization adds ancilla control to the elementary gates of the time-evolution circuit and t...

  • Polymer quantum mechanics on compact configuration spaces

    "Polymer quantum mechanics" is the name given to a quantization scheme inspired by loop quantum gravity in which the configuration space of the theory is chosen to have a discrete topology. Polymer quantization yields a representation of the canonical commutation relations that is genuinely distinct from the conventional "Schrödinger" representation. In this paper, we summar...

  • Magnetic flux as a quantized Lorentz pseudoscalar and its relation to electric charge quantization

    In this paper, we re-examine the well-known question of why electric charges exist only in quantized portions. In this context, we revisit the motion of a charged particle in a field-free region around a current-carrying solenoid. Solving the corresponding Schrödinger equation leads to a simultaneous quantization condition for the magnetic flux and the electric charge. We al...

  • Broadband AC Magnetic Field Sensing via Continuous wave optically detected magnetic resonance with NV Centers in diamond

    The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond has attracted considerable attention as a highly sensitive quantum sensor that can operate at room temperature. In particular, continuous-wave optically detected magnetic resonance (CW-ODMR) is promising for a wide range of applications because of its simplicity. However, conventional AC magnetic-field sensing schemes based on CW-O...

  • Non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics of a memory-bearing open-system process

    We show the emergence of memory effects in the dynamics of a driven two-level system interacting with a composite environment, and analyze their influence on work, heat and entropy production. We further investigate how the interplay between driving, dissipation and memory effects, stemming from the finiteness of the environment, shapes the thermodynamic response of the syst...

  • No-go theorems on simulating uncertainty principle's signatures

    Uncertainty principle, one of the most iconic features of quantum mechanics, was originally viewed as a fundamental limitation. Since the inception of quantum information science, researchers began to use it to achieve quantum advantages. To better understand the origin of these advantages, an essential question is: To what extent can the uncertainty principle's signatures b...

  • Tight relation between the physical effects of a quantum measurement and the information gained about an observable

    The dynamics of quantum measurements defines a precise relation between the information gained about one physical property of a system and the observable changes in another physical property of the same system. Here, we express this relation in terms of the Hilbert space superpositions of the corresponding eigenstates and show how the probability of an observable physical ch...

  • Optimal convex approximation of quantum channels based on $α$-affinity

    Determining the minimal distance between a target channel and a convex hull of predefined set of implementable channels is a fundamental problem in quantum resource theory, and provides key guidance for experimental implementations.

  • Information-Geometric Bound on the Robustness of Entanglement Generation

    Entanglement generation is a central resource for quantum information processing, quantum networking, and quantum sensing. In practical implementations, however, entangling interactions are inevitably subject to uncertainty and fluctuations in the interaction strength. We investigate the robustness of entanglement generation in the presence of such imperfections and establis...

  • Learning Hamiltonians at Long Times

    We study the problem of learning an unknown $n$-qubit Hamiltonian $H$ from $U = e^{-iHt}$ for a single time $t$, where $t$ may be arbitrarily large. For broad families of local Hamiltonians, we prove that, with high probability over $H$ and $t$, any sum of local observables $A$ that is normalized and orthogonal to $H$ satisfies $\tfrac{1}{2^n}\|[U(t),A]\|_F^2 \geq 1/\text{po...

  • Quantum Radar Cross Section with two-photon entangled states

    We study two-photon entangled states for quantum radar cross section (QRCS), which is an extension of a single-photon QRCS formula. Since signal-idler entanglement does not provide any enhancement of the QRCS [Brandsema's PhD Thesis (2017)], we focus on signal-signal entanglement and derive the corresponding biphoton QRCS. We show that it can provide an enhancement over the...

  • A Class of Multipartite Entangled States Based on State Transitions

    We introduce Transition states (T states), denoted by $\ket{T_k^n}$, as a class of multipartite entangled states characterized by a fixed number of state transitions between adjacent qubits. These states form equal-amplitude superpositions over all states with a specified transition count. Unlike Bell states based on two-qubit correlations, GHZ states characterized by global...

  • Thermalization with Gaussian Quantum Cellular Automata

    We study the long-time dynamics of many-body bosonic lattice systems under translation-invariant Gaussian quantum cellular automata. We formulate two sets of conditions on GQCAs which separately guarantee thermalization of any state on the local Weyl algebra to the infinite temperature state, whenever the state is locally normal and has uniformly bounded particle density. Ou...

  • On the Cryptographic Structure Required for Verifying Qubits

    Classically testing for the presence of anti-commuting operators on a quantum device is a critical tool underpinning recent progress in classical verification of quantum computation. While such tests can be based on cryptographic assumptions, known constructions rely on highly structured assumptions, e.g. trapdoor claw-free functions. In this work, we seek to explain this st...
