Suppressing the Motion of Rydberg Atoms in Inhomogeneous Electric Fields via Stark Echo
Rydberg atoms possess strong electric dipole transitions and tunable energy levels, making them promising candidates for microwave to optical conversion on integrated superconducting atom chips. Achieving strong coupling of the atoms to e.g. the microwave field of an on-chip resonator requires placing the atoms within tens of micrometers from the chip surface. However, inhom...
Superconducting resonators coupled to semiconductor quantum dots provide a powerful platform to investigate light-matter interaction and decoherence mechanisms in solid-state quantum systems. Here we study a hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture consisting of a GaAs double-quantum-dot charge qubit capacitively coupled to a high-impedance, frequency-tunable SQUI...
The dynamic 4.8.8 Floquet code
Fault-tolerant quantum memories depend on the syndrome extraction circuit as much as on the underlying code. Ancilla-free or dynamic circuits are an effective way to improve this circuit layer. For the 6.6.6 honeycomb Floquet code, making the circuit dynamic raises the threshold and lowers the qubit overhead, but at the cost of halving the spatial code distance. A dynamic co...
Entanglement-assisted continuous-variable concatenated codes for encoding qubits or oscillators
Entanglement-assisted (EA) stabilizer codes enhance the rate of error correction in relation to codes with no pre-shared entanglement. Meanwhile, bosonic error-correcting codes, such as the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code, can be concatenated with qubit stabilizer codes to significantly reduce the logical failure probability of those stabilizer codes. First, we combine...
Topological insulators have attracted numerous attentions recent years, where the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is one of the most studied models. While the interacting version of it has been explored recently, the interplay between interactions and long-range hoppings merit further investigations. In this work, we uncover a rich phase diagram of the interacting SSH model...
SCOPE: A Syndrome-Driven Control Plane for QEC-Enabled Quantum Networks
As quantum networks evolve from experimental testbeds to fault-tolerant systems, the primary performance metric shifts from physical link fidelity to end-to-end logical error rate. However, current control planes remain ill-equipped for this transition: routing decisions are typically decoupled from Quantum Error Correction (QEC) strategies, relying on topology or scalar fid...

Operation Mpemba effect: Breakdown of resource-Markovianity of free dynamics
The Mpemba effect refers to faster relaxation of states that are initially farther from equilibrium, yet its characterization is often tied to a chosen distance or resource measure. We introduce resource-Markovianity, an extended concept of quantum Markovianity to quantum resource theories, and formulate the resource Mpemba effect operationally as the breaking of resource-Ma...
Who Earns the Safety? Intervention-Aware Quantum Predictive Control with Safety Attribution
Hard safety filters are increasingly placed downstream of learned controllers to guarantee constraint satisfaction at run time. Yet a filtered controller that never violates a constraint may still have learned nothing about safety: the filter can silently repair an incompetent upstream policy, so that post-filter success measures the filter, not the policy. We argue that saf...
From Pauli Strings to Quantum Dynamics: A Unified Characterization
Understanding the dynamical properties of quantum systems is an essential task in quantum computing, quantum control, and many-body physics. Tools such as representation theory and Lie theory provide crucial information on reachability and computational power. However, this information can be difficult to access exactly or compute efficiently for arbitrary generating sets. H...
Adaptive directional gradients for parameterised quantum circuits
Training parameterised quantum circuits (PQCs) on quantum hardware is bottlenecked by the measurement cost of gradient estimation, which under the parameter-shift rule scales linearly in the number of trainable parameters and dominates the total shot budget of training at scale. In this work, we propose a framework of forward gradient estimators for PQCs, based on the forwar...
Leveraging Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interference for accelerating diabatic quantum annealing
Diabatic quantum annealing with variationally optimized schedules can exhibit exponential speedups over conventional adiabatic quantum annealing, as was demonstrated numerically for a frustrated Ising ring model by C{ô}t{é} et al. Here we identify Landau-Zener-St{ü}ckelberg interference as the underlying mechanism for this speedup, and based on this insight we propose a vari...
The river-crossing problem, also known as Zermelo's navigation problem, is a classic example of an optimization problem with practical relevance and a scalable degree of complexity. It asks for the optimal trajectory of a vessel moving through a water flow field and provides a setting in which physics, variational methods, and optimization are naturally intertwined. We state...
Hardware-Aware QAOA for Honeypot Traffic Partitioning on 100+ Qubit IBM Quantum Processors
Denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) mitigation requires separating malicious traffic from benign traffic while minimizing disruption to legitimate users. Prior work proposed mapping honeypot traffic partitioning to a weighted MaxCut problem and solving the resulting graphs with variational quantum algorithms. We extend this proof of principle dir...
Impact of gate-voltage noise on silicon spin-qubit variational quantum eigensolvers
Quantum computers offer a route to outperform classical methods in tasks such as molecular simulation, motivating hybrid algorithms like the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) for near-term devices. Silicon spin qubits are a promising platform for scalable quantum computation, but their performance is limited by hardware imperfections -- most notably charge-noise-induced...
Commercial and Industry Context
To explore the pathways toward establishing a global quantum network, we investigate several link architectures for transatlantic quantum entanglement distribution over a 6,500 km ground distance. We define free-space link configurations involving satellites and stratospheric high altitude platforms (HAPs), using today's technology and without relying on quantum memories and...
The Map of Parameter Space in Double Microwave Shielding
Double microwave shielding employs $σ^{+}$- and $π$-polarized microwave fields, tuned close to the lowest rotational transition, to engineer a long-range repulsive barrier between polar molecules. By preventing molecules from reaching the short range, this technique suppresses detrimental two-body losses and recently enabled the realization of molecular Bose-Einstein condens...
Relativistic Effects in Spin Correlations Induced by QED Scattering and Wigner Rotations
We study the relativistic nature of the interactions that, at tree level, generate spin correlations between two electrons in Møller scattering, as well as in an extended process involving a witness particle $C$. The corresponding processes, $e^{-}e^{-}\rightarrow e^{-}e^{-}$ and $e^{-}e^{-}C\rightarrow e^{-}e^{-}C$, are analyzed both in the center-of-mass frame and, for the...

Powder X-ray diffraction confirms that all samples c...

Topological defects and scalar field modes in warped geometries
We develop a general framework for investigating the influence of topological defects on the local characteristics of a quantum scalar field in a warped geometry background. The Ricci tensor and curvature scalar are decomposed into contributions from the warp factor, the radial geometry and the angular defect structure. For an arbitrary curvature coupling parameter, the fiel...
Complexity-driven transitions in quantum observation
Observing the physical world is a foundational pursuit in science. In the quantum realm, however, observation necessitates a fundamental quantum-to-classical conversion: destructive measurements irreversibly project quantum states into classical data, inevitably incurring a loss of information. What physical principles govern this information loss, and how can we construct o...
In this paper, we continue a line of research initiated by Basu, Brakensiek, and Putterman [2026] studying the sparsifiability of Hamiltonians. We focus particularly on the sparsifiability of the widely-studied Quantum Cut (QC) Hamiltonians. Our main result is that in an $n$-qubit system, any $n$-qubit QC Hamiltonian can be sparsified to $\widetilde{O}(n /\varepsilon^2)$ man...
Sambe Approach to Floquet-Lindblad Open Quantum Systems
We study driven and open quantum systems described by a time-periodic Lindblad master equation. In closed systems, the stroboscopic dynamics can always be described by an effective time-independent Floquet Hamiltonian; this idea is the basis of Floquet engineering. However, in the presence of dissipation, the existence of an effective time-independent Floquet Lindbladian is...
A Bell-State Extension of Loop-Back Quantum Key Distribution
Bidirectional quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols face persistent challenges related to classical disclosure, confinement of the signal space to predictable subspaces, and limited detectability under substitution or entanglement-swapping attacks. In this work, we present a Bell-state extension of the Loop-Back QKD architecture that improves efficiency and detectability...
Optomechanically controlled response amplification for enhanced quantum sensing
We show that strongly amplified dynamical responses in cavity optomechanical systems can be harnessed for enhanced quantum sensing. By tuning the optomechanical interaction to a regime of enhanced susceptibility, weak perturbations produce disproportionately large changes in the system response, leading to substantially improved estimation precision. Using Gaussian estimatio...
Analog quantum simulation of chiral magnetic dynamics using optical superlattices
We propose an analog quantum simulation of chiral magnetic dynamics using ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice. The massive Schwinger model in the zero gauge coupling limit maps onto the Rice-Mele model, with the fermion mass and topological angle encoded in the superlattice parameters. We study the real-time dynamics of the vector current following two quench protocol...
Parahydrogen Cooling of Nuclear Spin Chains at Hypogeomagnetic Fields
Solution-state molecular nuclear spin networks are promising quantum simulators because their scalar-coupling Hamiltonians are chemically programmable, precisely measurable, and coherent at room temperature. Their main limitation for quantum information science is initialization: thermal Boltzmann polarization produces highly mixed, high-entropy states. Here, we use parahydr...
Phase-only control of GRAPE shaped pulses
We compare phase-only control with phase-and-amplitude control when designing shaped pulses using the GRAPE algorithm, and explain why phase-only control has significant advantages. Trotterisation can be used to simulate amplitude modulation with phase modulation, indicating that the two approaches are fundamentally equivalent. Pulses designed by either method can be interco...
Quantum Algorithms for Modulated Circulant Matrix Vector Multiplication
Modulated circulant matrices form a special class of N-parametric circulant matrices, recently introduced in the literature, with a structured spectral decomposition based on a Vandermonde type basis. Motivated by this definition, in this work we define the Modulated Quantum Fourier Transform (MQFT), a quantum primitive tailored to this matrix family.
Entanglement Generation through Coherent and Non-Coherent Control
The controlled generation of quantum entanglement from separable states remains a central challenge in quantum information science. Here, we investigate entanglement generation using two related control paradigms: coherent path superposition of local unitary operations and stochastic implementations of Pauli channels under coherent control. We show that entangled states belo...
Conceptual and Geometric Foundations for a Teleparallel Approach to Quantum Gravity
We revisit quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS) as a semi-classical framework for quantum matter on classical geometries, emphasizing its limitations, including vacuum ambiguity and background dependence. We briefly review major approaches to quantum gravity (QG), including Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), string theory, and asymptotic safety, highlighting their conce...
Probabilistically Checking Quantum Proofs, with Interaction
The model of interactive oracle proofs (IOP) generalizes the notion of probabilistically checkable proof (PCP), in which a static proof is verified probabilistically by querying a small number of bits, to the interactive setting: a polynomial-time verifier interacts with an unbounded prover, but is restricted to only reading a small number of bits, in total, from the message...
Algebraic Kolmogorov--Arnold representation theorem for quantum measurement
We establish an operational framework connecting the classical Kolmogorov--Arnold (KA) representation theorem to quantum information theory. By introducing and proving an algebraic, bounded-degree polynomial version of the theorem, we demonstrate that any target physical property of an unentangled multi-qubit product state can be exactly decomposed using a finite, fixed set...
Single plasmon transport in one dimensional nanowire
We introduce a unified theoretical framework for single-plasmon transport in one-dimensional nanowires, bridging the quantized electromagnetic Green's tensor formalism with effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian models. This approach naturally incorporates propagating surface plasmon polaritons, high-order modes dissipative channels, and intrinsic losses. We investigate both th...
Strong-field control of the $Z$-boson resonance in $e^+e^-$ collisions
Resonant $Z$-boson production is a cornerstone of precision electroweak physics, with its vacuum line shape set by the $Z$ mass, width, and collision kinematics. We show that a strong laser field can significantly alter this picture. By treating the field nonperturbatively, we find that laser dressing of the incoming fermions alters the effective collision kinematics and ope...
Classical Stochasticity Using Quantum Computers
We suggest that quantum algorithms can be used to model classical stochastic simulations as the measurement process is inherently random. To illustrate, we solve the classical Lorenz system with stochastic behavior using a Python random number generator. We compare the classical stochasticity of the Lorenz system with the measured output of the system obtained using quantum...
Energy Transport in Randomly Coupled Quantum Systems: A Perturbative Approach
We study energy transport between two quantum systems coupled through a random interaction. The central feature of our approach is to model the coupling as a Gaussian random matrix, which enables a simple and systematic perturbative expansion. In the large-$N$ limit, we derive explicit expressions for the energy transfer rate and heat conductance up to second order in the co...
Range-controlled entanglement in Lindbladian skin states of monitored fermions
Reservoir engineering can stabilize states inaccessible to unitary dynamics. Directed particle-conserving dissipation creates Lindbladian skin states, where Pauli exclusion turns edge accumulation into a many-body density imbalance. In a monitored fermion chain with tunable hopping range, we identify, within a Gaussian trajectory approximation, two finite-size scaling regime...
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) has emerged as a fundamentally secure approach to communication in the era of quantum computing, offering protection against threats posed to classical cryptographic schemes such as RSA and Diffie-Hellman. This thesis presents a comprehensive performance analysis of satellite-based QKD protocols, focusing on both prepare-and-measure and entangl...
Dynamic scaling and Family-Vicsek universality in the Hubbard model at infinite temperature
We study Family-Vicsek scaling of charge, spin, and energy fluctuations in the one-dimensional Hubbard model at infinite temperature. Using a quantum generating function approach, we compute time-dependent cumulants of transferred conserved quantities and analyze how the corresponding roughness depends on subsystem size and time. We start by focusing on a single interface at...
The Transformation-Response Framework: An Operational Reformulation of Quantum Mechanics
We present the transformation-response framework, an operational reformulation of quantum mechanics. A quantum state is not a Hilbert space object but the catalog of a system's responses to all physical transformations: for each operation $g$ from the system's local group $G$, an interference experiment gives a complex value $χ(g)$. The collection $\{χ(g): g\in G \}$ is the...
Controlling multiparameter quantum estimation in exciton-optomechanics system
Multiparameter quantum estimation has emerged as a central task in quantum metrology. In this work, we investigate multiparameter quantum estimation in a hybrid exciton--optomechanical (EOM) system. The system consists of a semiconductor quantum well embedded inside a driven optomechanical microcavity, where the excitonic, optical, and mechanical modes interact coherently th...
Quantum Mechanical Studies of Photodissociation Dynamics on Quantum Computers
Theoretical quantum dynamics calculations scale deeply with system size, rendering classical calculations intractable for complex systems.

Here, we present a quantum algorithm to study photodissociation dynamics on quantum computers, benchmarked on the NOCl molecule...
Impact of the Unruh effect on the estimation precision of Gaussian channel parameters
Gaussian quantum channels constitute a pivotal physical framework for characterizing the dynamics of Gaussian quantum states. Extensive scholarly attention has been devoted to the estimation of parameters associated with Gaussian channels. However, while previous research has predominantly focused on parameter estimation within inertial frames, the noninertial scenario, part...

Atomic clocks have made time and frequency the most precisely measured quantities in physics, progressing from microwave standards that realize the SI second to optical clocks that now reach unprecedented levels of precision.

Energy-Efficient Satellite Wake-Up via Bosonic Identification: The Role of Synchronization
The information-theoretic concept of identification describes a sender-receiver architecture in which the receiver only checks whether a particular message was sent or not, thereby promising a low-energy receiver design. In low received-energy regimes, quantum receivers are a promising tool for studying the system limits. However, the known information-theoretically optimal...
Time Evolution of Heat Conduction in a Generalized Model of Brownian Motion
We investigate the properties of heat conduction in a network of harmonic oscillators interacting with heat baths, described by a generalized model of Brownian motion. This model includes noise and dissipation terms in both the momentum and position equations.

Randomized simulation of quantum channels using small ancilla
We study the problem of implementing a quantum channel using a small ancilla with classical randomization and postselection on an output failure flag. The simulation is probabilistic, but exact conditioned on success. We prove that any unital channel on a $d$-dimensional system can be simulated with ancilla dimension $k$ and success probability $Ω(\frac{k}{\log d})$. Equival...
Algebra of Bivariate-Bicycle Surface Codes
We relate the properties of bivariate-bicycle-surface (BBS) codes, constructed from a pair of bivariate polynomials over a finite field, to the number and location of their common roots in the extension field. The number of roots $(x,y)$ with finite, non-zero coordinates -- counted with algebraic multiplicity -- determines the dimension of the codes. This dimension is invari...
Visual-to-Code Authoring, Tensor-Network Debugging, and Quantum-Circuit Inspection Tools in Python
