Time-Reversal Selection Rules for Quantum Error Correction
We apply time-reversal symmetry to quantum codes and show that it imposes parity selection rules on the physical error algebra. A time-reversal-invariant logical qubit on an odd number of spins is a Kramers doublet, forcing every even-weight Pauli to act as a scalar. Consequently, all even-weight Knill--Laflamme conditions hold automatically, so single-qubit error detection...
Approximate Quantum Error Correction at Chiral Topological Edges
Topologically ordered phases naturally realize quantum error correction through nonlocal encoding of quantum information. More recently, conformal field theories have been shown to realize approximate quantum error-correcting codes, but such constructions generally require fine tuning to criticality. Here we introduce a family of approximate quantum error-correcting codes re...
Criteria for Feasible Monte Carlo Stochastic Simulations of Bosonic Markovian Open Quantum Dynamics
The Monte Carlo sampling of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) based on the quasiprobability distribution function, such as the Glauber--Sudarshan P, Wigner, and Husimi Q functions provides a powerful framework for investigating bosonic open quantum many-body dynamics described by the Gorini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan--Lindblad (GKSL) equation, while considering the e...
Towards fault-tolerance with universal phase-error-transparent gates for high-spin cat codes
High-dimensional nuclear spins offer a hardware-efficient route to quantum error correction (QEC), with the spin cat code providing intrinsic robustness against phase errors -- the dominant noise channel in donor-in-silicon architectures. However, realizing the full potential of this encoding requires gate operations that preserve its error-correcting properties. In this wor...
Quantum error correction with global control
Reaching fault tolerance means scaling qubit counts by orders of magnitude, a jump that conventional superconducting architectures cannot sustain without solving the so-called `wiring problem'. Global control sidesteps this bottleneck, but implementing quantum error correction (QEC) on previously proposed global architectures incurs extremely steep overhead costs, due to the...
Symmetry-guided construction and exact certification of absolutely maximally entangled states
We construct Hermitian self-dual maximum-distance-separable codes with parameters $[12,6,7]_{25}$, $[18,9,10]_{121}$, and $[18,9,10]_{169}$. Through the nonbinary stabilizer construction these codes define $\text{AME}(12,5)$, $\text{AME}(18,11)$, and $AMD(18,13)$ states, and one-party projection gives $\text{AME}(17,11)$ and $\text{AME}(17,13)$. The $[12,6,7]_{25}$ code, whi...
Multi-cavity strong coupling to an electron spin ensemble: spectral and dark-state signatures
Spin ensembles are considered as potential candidates for quantum memory and quantum enhanced sensing applications. Here, we explore the controlled coupling of multiple superconducting microwave cavities to a spin ensemble, which shows signatures of strong coupling and, due to the multi-mode character, the formation of dark states. In particular, the latter are of interest,...
The Locality Gap: A Thermodynamic Law for Objective Facts
Objective facts in quantum Darwinism are values recorded redundantly in many independently accessible fragments of the environment. Redundancy does not create additional logical information, so its thermodynamic meaning has remained unclear. We show that it creates an exact work asymmetry between controllers with different access architectures. For a record cloud $F$ and a p...
Control and Quantum-AI Integration
Neural Flux Attachment: From Bose Condensates to Chiral Topological Matter
Can one neural wave function describe both a Bose condensate and a chiral topological liquid? We introduce ChernFormer, which combines a fermionic transformer with a fixed Chern-Simons phase that attaches one statistical vortex to every particle pair. Each factor changes sign under exchange, so their product is exactly bosonic. The fixed phase changes statistics but not prob...
A freely moving quantum Hall (QH) interface may end on a physical edge or topological boundary, but fixed-edge theory cannot determine what endpoint data make such a termination consistent. Here we formulate an open-worldsheet junction framework in which the embedding, material charge, anomaly flow, and topological boundary condition are organized together. The endpoint is s...

Bell nonlocality from twisted statistics
We investigate Bell correlations for a free real quantum scalar field on the noncommutative Moyal plane. Although the free field dynamics and the one-particle sector remain unchanged, the deformation enters through twisted multiparticle statistics and its Fock-space dressing representation. A classical external source coupled locally to the twist-dressed quantum field prepar...
Dimension-Free Polylogarithmic Quantum Shadow Tomography from Sequential Pretty-Good Measurements
\textit{Shadow tomography} is a fundamental problem in quantum information theory. Given multiple copies of an unknown $d$-dimensional quantum state $ρ$ and a known collection of observables ${E_1,\ldots,E_m}$, the goal is to estimate all expectation values $\{\Tr(ρE_i)\}_{i=1}^m$ to additive accuracy $\varepsilon$ with probability at least $1-δ$. An elusive open question fr...
Multi-State Geometry of Density Matrices and Rectification Sum Rules
The geometry of quantum states has emerged as a key ingredient in understanding the linear and nonlinear responses of quantum materials. To date, however, the connection between geometry and nonlinear response is best understood for clean, noninteracting systems at zero temperature. In this work, we develop a theory of multi-state geometry for density matrices and use it to...
The Quantum Mechanics of Rare Events: From Quantum Walks to Stochastic Inflation
Rare fluctuations in physical systems depend on the detailed microphysics responsible for the fluctuations. In classical statistical systems, the large deviation principle has elucidated the role of semi-classics in describing this regime, and has simultaneously provided a the mathematical foundation of statistical mechanics. Large deviation theory for quantum system is cons...
As quantum computing continues to demonstrate promise and attract growing attention, there is an increasing need for more precise experiments to advance the development of quantum devices, as well as higher circuit throughput to validate more domain applications. However, this need is hindered by a memory bottleneck at the quantum control system layer, arising from limited o...
On Optimal Quantum Data Hiding and Maximal Separable Ball
Quantum data hiding asks how much distinguishing power can be lost when global measurements are restricted to local measurements and classical communication. In this work, we establish sharp results and improved bounds for several natural classes of restricted measurements. For bipartite systems on $\mathbb C^n\otimes\mathbb C^m$, we prove that the optimal data-hiding ratios...
The precision of transport observables can be bounded by the entropy production and the activity of the transport process via kinetic and thermokinetic uncertainty relations. In linear bosonic systems, such uncertainty relations can provide tight bounds when the activity is replaced by a local activity of the measurement contact of interest---even in the strong-coupling regi...
Nonlinear Compton scattering in a quantized pump field
We develop a fully quantized theory of nonlinear Compton scattering driven by a single-mode quantum field. Exact quantum-Volkov states retain pump depletion, back-action, and final-state correlations through displaced or squeezed-displaced Fock-state ladders. A finite Fock-state pump produces discrete photon-transfer edges and a terminal spectral cutoff. In the bright, weakl...
Exponential logical-error reduction in quantum memories via optimal syndrome-measurement timing
Syndrome-measurements timing is usually treated as a fixed clock cycle of a quantum error-correcting code. For quantum memories, however, the intra-measurement interval is itself an optimizable control parameter: measuring too rarely allows idling errors to accumulate, whereas measuring too often introduces measurement-induced faults. We propose a phenomenological logical-no...
Non-Gaussian states can exhibit large quantum Fisher information (QFI) in quantum sensing. In optical systems, however, its generation is often probabilistic via the boson-sampling type conditional operation and thus its generation rate is limited. This probabilistic generation of non-Gaussian resource should be taken into account for evaluation of the sensing performance. T...
Global vs. Product Observables in Bipartite Quantum Systems: The Sharp Bound
To probe a bipartite quantum system, one may use arbitrary global operators or restrict to product operators acting separately on the two subsystems. We determine the sharp universal comparison between the resulting norms. For every $z\in M_n\otimes M_m$, we prove $\|z\|_1\leq\sqrt{2}\min\{n,m\}\|z\|_\varepsilon$, where $\|\cdot\|_1$ is the trace norm and $\|\cdot\|_\varepsi...
Anyon-Impurity Bound States in Quantum-Engineered Fractional Chern Insulators
Mobile impurities provide a powerful means of probing correlated and topological quantum matter, through their dressing by the surrounding medium and the practical probes granting access to the resulting composite object. Motivated by the recent observation of anyon-impurity composites in the solid state, as well as recent realizations of Laughlin-type states in engineered l...
Warm-Starting MaxCut Relaxation via Low-Depth Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm
Quantum optimization has attracted growing interest as quantum hardware continues to improve, yet state-of-the-art classical solvers remain a formidable benchmark for practical utility. Rather than seeking a fully quantum replacement for classical optimization, we propose a hybrid strategy that uses quantum information to enhance leading classical heuristics. Specifically, w...
Quantum fluctuation relations in first-detection processes
We derive two quantum fluctuation relations for systems undergoing repeated projective measurements. These fluctuation relations characterize the work that can be extracted from a quantum device when a first-detection event triggers a mechanical operation leading to positive work production. The correction to the standard quantum Jarzynski equality depends logarithmically on...
Error-detected surgery on Iceberg codes
We construct explicit error-detecting surgery gadgets---small systems of auxiliary qubits and checks---for the high-rate Iceberg codes $[[2N,2N-2,2]]$, to perform fault-detected measurements of logical Pauli products. The construction follows the perspective of surgery as the gauging of a logical operator, regarded as a symmetry of the code. We give a complete classification...
Dual-Faraday-laser-pumped cesium beam clock with $7.7\times 10^{-13}/\sqrtτ$ frequency stability
Compact cesium beam clocks are major frequency references for deployable timing systems. However, further improvement of their short-term frequency stability is limited by the clock signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Although two-laser optical pumping can increase the effective atomic utilization, the achievable clock SNR has long been limited by laser-induced frequency-to-amplitu...
Cold heavy molecules are promising systems for exploring nuclear $\mathcal{P}$- and $\mathcal{CP}$-violating phenomena in search of new physics beyond the Standard Model. However, most proposed experimental strategies and their early realizations to date have been limited to proof-of-principle molecular species with effectively spin-zero nuclei that are not sensitive to nucl...
Master equation for systems interacting with linearized gravity
We investigate the open quantum dynamics of a system of two masses interacting with an environment of linearized gravitational waves. We formulate the analysis in terms of the observable proper distance between the two masses, and show that the canonical variables obtained from the standard Lagrangian, expressed in terms of the Fermi normal coordinates, are not suitable for...
Hadamard sensing channel: deterministic artifact suppression for quantum sensors
Dynamical decoupling sequences are essential for nanoscale quantum sensing, but the finite duration of microwave pulses generates spurious responses. While phase randomization (PR) protocol can suppress these artifacts, they rely on probabilistic averaging. This introduces an inherent statistical variance that demands excessive sequence lengths and stringent hardware capabil...
A Moore--Read interface carries a chiral Majorana mode on a boundary whose geometry may itself fluctuate. Fixed-edge theory does not determine how this neutral mode should be transported when the interface bends and moves, or how its dynamics couples to the fluctuating shape. Here we construct a spatially reparametrization-invariant Majorana theory on the nonrelativistic wor...
A freely moving quantum Hall interface is fundamentally different from an ordinary edge fixed by an external confining potential. Since a normal displacement changes the areas occupied by the adjacent incompressible phases, the interface geometry and charge dynamics cannot be treated as independent degrees of freedom. We formulate this problem for interfaces between Abelian...
Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Simulation with Optimal Query Complexity
We give a query-optimal algorithm for simulating a general $n$-qubit time-dependent Hamiltonian $H(t)$ on $[0,T]$, assuming that $H$ is Lipschitz continuous and $\|H(t)\|\leqα$. In the standard $\mathrm{HAM\mbox{-}T}$ access model, the algorithm approximates the time-ordered propagator $U_H(T)$ to error $\varepsilon$ using $$ O\left( αT+\frac{\log(1/\varepsilon)} {\log(e+\lo...
Balanced Routing for Symmetric Quantum Circuits
Mapping quantum programs to restricted physical chips requires SWAP operations, incurring depth and error penalties. In symmetric programs, this routing overhead breaks theoretical symmetry because identical logical roles experience unequal shuffling. While often attributed to hardware topology alone, we show this is a two-level phenomenon. A qubit patch's shape dictates if...
A quantum framework for event graphs
Graph representations of discrete events provide a natural foundation for machine-learning models of anomaly detection, yet they also suggest a deeper quantum description in which graph structure gives rise to interacting quantum degrees of freedom. We develop a quantum framework based on a directed participant graph whose edges represent events connecting pairs of source an...
Partition Functions of Hermitian and PT-Symmetric Oscillators from Integrable Models
We develop an ODE/IM-based formulation for the thermal partition function and the spectral zeta function of the homogeneous Hermitian and PT-symmetric oscillators. For both classes of systems, the quantization condition can be expressed using the counting function $a(E)$, which can be solved via the Destri-de Vega equation of the integrable model. We then express the partiti...
Measurement-induced entanglement Hamiltonian
We study the entanglement Hamiltonian of an infinite hopping chain in its ground state, after partial projective measurements in the occupation basis. For a segment separated by two measurement regions from the rest of the chain, we show that the reduced density matrix can be related to a grand-canonical state via a conformal mapping and a gauge transformation in the underly...
Geometry-Only CSL/DP Ratios and the Nonuniqueness of Decoherence Kernels
We study idealized levitated protocols that create spatial superpositions of massive test particles. For each protocol, we compare the dimensionless contrast-loss exponent of mass-proportional continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) with the Diósi--Penrose (DP) self-energy exponent $E_Gτ/\hbar$. We first prove that the point-particle CSL separation kernel has an exact rand...
Field-Space Entanglement Dynamics Between Tunnel-Coupled Luttinger Liquids
Entanglement dynamics depend not only on how a quantum system is partitioned, but critically on how interactions across that partition are structured. For a spatial bipartition of a locally interacting system, entanglement is generated near the boundary and then propagates into the bulk. By contrast, when two extended quantum fields are coupled locally along their entire len...
Dynamical phase transition in generalized Dicke model with strongly interacting trapped Rydberg ions
We study dynamical phase transitions in the generalized dissipative Dicke model in an array of trapped Rydberg ions, where their density-density interactions compete with the collective spin-phonon coupling, laser driving and dissipation. This setting offers a versatile approach to study equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium many-body phenomena, as parameters, such as the I...
Exponential Speedup of Entanglement Generation by Quantum Mpemba Effects
Entanglement is a key resource for quantum technologies. We show that protocols employing quantum Mpemba effects allow one to exponentially accelerate the generation of entanglement, or to slow down the decay thereof. Two entanglement Mpemba effects with different operational meaning are introduced, focusing either on the task of rapidly generating a certain threshold value...
A Scale-Invariant Theory of the Universe
Modern physics has achieved extraordinary empirical success while retaining much of the absolute, unobservable structure introduced by Newton, largely without questioning its necessity. We investigate how far this structure can be eliminated by adopting a relational ontology guided by Leibniz's principle of sufficient reason. Removing absolute position, orientation, time and...
Learning to Rank Tensor Network Contraction Plans for GPU-Accelerated Quantum Circuit Simulation
Classical simulation remains essential for developing and validating quantum algorithms, but its cost grows rapidly with circuit size. Tensor-network contraction can reduce this cost by exploiting circuit structure, although its efficiency depends strongly on the chosen contraction plan. On GPUs, plans with similar theoretical complexity may perform very differently because...
Robust logarithmic lower bound on shared-resource cost for $f$-routing
In one-round $f$-routing, Alice receives an $n$-bit string and an unknown qubit, while Bob receives another $n$-bit string. They exchange one simultaneous message each, and the value of $f$ determines which party must recover the qubit. Message lengths, local systems, and local operations are unrestricted. We charge only $E_{\dim}(ρ_{LR})=\log_2\min\{\operatorname{rank}ρ_L,\...
QSCI-CMP: Quantum-Selected Configuration Interaction with Chemically Motivated Preselection
We present QSCI-CMP, a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm for molecular ground-state calculations that reduces both the query count and the gate count of sample-based quantum diagonalization with amplitude amplification (SQD-AA). SQD-AA mitigates the measurement bottleneck of quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) by amplifying the basis states that have not yet b...
Quantum One-Way Functions and Related Cryptographic Primitives
Quantum cryptographic primitives beyond key distribution remain a less well understood area of research. In classical cryptography, one-way functions underpin nearly all standard cryptographic protocols, motivating the search for meaningful quantum analogues and for a clear understanding of the physical and computational mechanisms that could enforce one-wayness. In this art...
Transverse quantum-state characterization of programmable electron optics
Programmable electron optics -- electronically controlled phase plates -- underpin proposals from dose-efficient phase imaging to shaped-electron X-ray sources, nearly all assuming a pure, fully coherent delivered wave whose purity has never been measured. Here we reconstruct the transverse density matrix of a microelectromechanical electrostatic spiral phase plate by mixed-...
Finite Quantum Histories: Holonomy Spectra, Minimal Clocks, and Exact Clock-Change Covariance
We solve cyclic finite-dimensional quantum histories for arbitrary time-dependent unitary steps, without assuming that one step has finite order. The propagation Hamiltonian is a unitary connection Laplacian on a cycle; its complete gauge invariant is the monodromy $M=U_{L-1}\cdots U_0$. Its spectrum is $λ_{a,k}=1-\cos((2πk-θ_a)/L)$, where $e^{iθ_a}\in\mathrm{spec}(M)$. Thus...
Improved regret bounds for structured online learning of quantum states
Quantum state tomography is fundamental to quantum information processing but becomes infeasible at scale due to the exponential growth of the state space. Shadow tomography alleviates this challenge by focusing on predicting measurement outcomes rather than reconstructing the full state. Its online variant models adaptive and potentially adversarial measurement scenarios, w...
We investigate the entanglement entropy of a class of $N$-particle excited state of fermions confined in a two-dimensional harmonic trap rotating at an angular frequency $Ω$. The excited state is constructed by filling a particular set of $N$ single-particle energy levels.
