Hardware and Error Correction

  • Design of monolithic microcavities for enhancing organic quantum emitters

    Single organic molecules are a well-established platform for high-quality single-photon generation: they can emit lifetime-limited photons with high purity and indistinguishability. However, their emission is accompanied by a pronounced red-shifted phonon sideband and higher-order vibrational peaks, which reduce the fraction of photons emitted into the desired narrowband zer...

  • Contextuality in the $n$-qubit Pauli group

    The $n$-qubit Pauli group is an essential ingredient to most quantum applications, from computing and error correction to benchmarking and simulation. Despite comprising merely a discrete set of operators, it exhibits many quintessential features of quantum theory, including contextuality, which has been identified as a key resource to quantum advantage in a variety of diffe...

  • Continuous-variable state moments from randomized homodyne and heterodyne measurements

    Continuous-variable (CV) quantum states are naturally characterized by their moments, defined as expectation values of products of single- or multimode ladder operators. Many CV Hamiltonians and quantum algorithms are formulated directly in terms of these moments, and therefore an efficient procedure to estimate moments with limited state measurements is necessary. In this p...

  • Do Not Let CNOTs Overwhelm the Decoder: Scheduling Transversal Gates for Fast FTQC

    Transversal CNOT (TCNOT) gates can accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC) in the surface code by reducing the number of syndrome extraction rounds required between logical operations from $O(d)$ to $O(1)$. This is particularly attractive for quantum platforms with long-range connectivity, such as neutral atoms. However, dense TCNOT schedules substantially incre...

  • Experimental quantum telecloning across silicon photonic chips

    Telecloning -- the combination of quantum teleportation and cloning -- offers a powerful mechanism to disseminate unknown quantum states to multiple spatially separated recipients with optimal fidelity. Despite its conceptual importance for quantum networks, an experimental demonstration of symmetric qubit quantum telecloning remains elusive, particularly due to the challeng...

  • Full-Stack High-Volume Quantum Networking Architecture based on Photonic-Integrated Tin Vacancy Centers in Diamond

    Solid state quantum emitters are a leading platform for photonic quantum networking with memory nodes. However, the inhomogeneous distribution of quantum emitters, as well as several environmental factors (i.e. strain and electric fields) spread the frequency spectrum of the qubits, making them distinguishable and therefore not a reliable resource for distributed quantum ent...

  • Efficient Quantum Modular Reduction: Crandall reduction and its Fault-tolerant resource analysis

    Modular arithmetic is central to quantum algorithms for cryptographic problems, including Shor's algorithm and Grover-based cryptanalysis, with modular reduction contributing substantially to circuit cost. Pseudo-Mersenne moduli $q=2^n-c$ allow classical Crandall reduction to replace division with folding and constant arithmetic, providing a structural opportunity for more e...

  • Trapping Sets of Detector Error Models

    Message-passing decoders are among the most promising candidates for scalable quantum error correction, yet their behavior in the low-error-rate regime remains poorly understood under realistic circuit-level noise. In this work, we introduce a systematic framework for identifying the graph structures that govern decoder failures and for using them to predict the resulting er...

Control and Quantum-AI Integration

  • Quantum-limited imaging using diffractive optical neural networks

    We cast general imaging as multiparameter quantum estimation of band-limited spatial-frequency amplitudes. For separable (single-copy) measurements, we compute precision limits using semidefinite programming to evaluate the Nagaoka-Hayashi Cramér-Rao bound. We then introduce an architecture for a measurement apparatus based on diffractive optical neural networks and photon c...

  • Hamilton-Zero: A Neural Tensor-Network Foundation Model for Ground States of Arbitrary Quadratic Qubit Hamiltonians

    A central promise of useful quantum advantage is the ability to compute ground states of Hamiltonian systems beyond the reach of classical simulation methods. Here we demonstrate that this problem can be effectively amortized across an arbitrary and universal set of Hamiltonians by a foundation model with $\sim0.5$B variational parameters, trained with contemporary technique...

  • CoQui: A Coordinate-Conditioned Quantum Implicit Generative Adversarial Network for End-to-End Image Generation

    Quantum generative adversarial networks (QGANs) have attracted increasing attention for image generation using parameterized quantum circuits. Existing amplitude-based approaches face two key limitations: pixel locations are typically encoded by computational-basis indices or address qubits, causing quantum resources to grow with image resolution; meanwhile, jointly decoding...

  • Antibunching Enhancement via Non-Markovianity in a Hybrid Optical-Microwave Cross-Cavity

    Unconventional photon blockade (UPB) provides an attractive route for generating antibunched light through quantum interference without requiring strong nonlinear coupling. In conventional Markovian systems, irreversible dissipation progressively destroys the phase coherence, even limiting the achievable single-photon purity. Here we propose a scheme for imposing non-Markovi...

  • Efficient Compilation for Hamiltonian Simulation via Global Binary Symplectic Form Simplification

    Hamiltonian simulation is a core quantum workload, underpinning variational quantum algorithms and Trotterized time evolution. Such programs are expressed as Pauli exponential sequences, exhibiting structural patterns that are highly amenable to high-level synthesis and optimization. Existing compilers, however, fail to fully unlock the optimization potential of their global...

  • Exchange Fluctuation Theorems for Non-Markovian Baths in Quantum Collisional Model

    The quantum exchange fluctuation theorem relates the probabilities of observing heat transfer along and against the temperature gradient between thermal baths at different temperatures. We investigate how this relation generalizes when the baths exhibit non-Markovian dynamics. Using a microscopic collisional model, bath memory is generated through interactions between succes...

Commercial and Industry Context

  • State-resolved quantum transport of vortex electrons in accelerators

    We develop a density-matrix theory of vortex-electron transport in accelerator lattices. In a periodic round lattice, the protected object is a Lewis-Floquet orbital angular momentum (OAM) invariant rather than the instantaneous kinetic OAM. Ideal transport has a metaplectic lift; stochastic imperfections generate a Lindblad channel. Dipole noise produces removable centroid...

  • Probing Impurity Quantum Criticality with Entanglement Witnesses

    Entanglement is a defining feature of quantum mechanics, and its relation to quantum criticality is of considerable current interest. Here we show that measurable spin and charge fluctuations provide an entanglement witness of quantum criticality in the two-impurity Kondo model, which has experimental realizations in terms of coupled quantum dots and magnetic impurities adde...

  • Interface phases and dynamics in two-dimensional quantum magnets: A "holographic" approach from universality to quantum simulation

    We introduce a framework to classify quantum phases, phase transitions, and non-equilibrium dynamics of interfaces separating ordered bulk domains in 2D quantum magnets - equivalently, confining strings in dual lattice gauge theories - based on effective 1D Hamiltonians governing geometric fluctuations. Building on a "holographic" approach from [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 120601...

  • Proliferation Transitions for Non-Abelian Anyons

    We construct phase transitions that proliferate condensable anyons in general 2+1d topological orders, including non-abelian ones. The central tool that provides a systematic approach to this question is the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT). For a given topological order, we identify the relevant symmetry from the transparent lines generated by the condensable anyo...

  • Eigenstate Preparation Through Near-Optimal Eigenprobability Filtering

    Quantum simulation is expected to be a main application of quantum computers with realistic utility in quantum chemistry, materials science and beyond. However, preparing excited or general eigenstates is a central challenge, particularly when the desired eigenvalue is not known in advance, or when the overlap with the initial state is insufficient. We introduce the Dominant...

  • A Unified Quantum Interferometric Framework for Interaction-Free Measurement and Delayed-Choice Experiments

    A theoretical unified interferometric framework is developed for interaction-free measurement (IFM) and delayed-choice (DC) experiments. The proposed model leads to a quantum circuit based architecture in which an ancillary qubit coherently controls the interaction between a photon and a bomb, allowing the system to evolve in a superposition of interaction and non-interactio...

  • Conditional dependence and Scrooge ensembles in shallow random quantum circuits

    The output state of a 2D geometrically local shallow random quantum circuit does not have long range correlations due to its lightcone structure. But this changes if one measures a subset of the qubits: long-range entanglement can be induced by the measurement process, leading to conditional correlations between distant qubits. In this paper we investigate the structure of c...

  • Isospectral majorization and isoperimetric inequalities for coherent states on the Bloch sphere

    Let $\mathcal{P}_{N}$ be the $(N+1)$-dimensional Hilbert space of analytic polynomials of degree at most $N$. This is the natural environment to define $SU(2)$ (Bloch) coherent states. Let $Q_{ρ}$ be the Husimi function of a density operator $ρ$ on $% \mathcal{P}_{N}$. We prove an isospectral version of Lieb-Solovej inequality: if $ρ^{\downarrow }$ is obtained by placing the...

  • A sharp bound on spacetime distance from quantum entanglement

    Ryu-Takayanagi established how boundary entanglement encodes bulk area. We provide the metric counterpart: boundary mutual information imposes a rigorous lower bound on bulk geodesic separation that diverges logarithmically as correlations vanish. A multiscale iteration promotes this local inequality to a global obstruction to bulk connectivity. For parallel strips in AdS$_5...

  • Capability-Adaptive Cryptanalysis with Reduced-Space Quantum Verification

    Efficient integration of cryptanalytic evidence with quantum verification remains a fundamental challenge in hybrid classical-quantum cryptanalysis. This work presents a capability-adaptive cryptanalytic framework that unifies linear cryptanalysis, differential cryptanalysis, and side-channel leakage analysis within a common candidate-space reduction architecture, followed b...

  • Parity Mapping for Quantum Optimization on Frustrated Ising Rings

    The frustrated Ising ring is one of the simplest models exhibiting exponential closing spectral gaps, making it a paradigmatic and challenging benchmark for quantum annealing (QA). Ground-state preparation for this model has therefore been studied extensively in both continuous-time QA and digitized protocols such as the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). Her...

  • Floquet-Resolved Dissipation Selects Entanglement Beyond Population Spectroscopy

    Reliable quantum-state engineering in periodically driven devices requires more than reproducing their excitation spectrum: the environment must resolve the transitions of the driven system. We show that two dissipative descriptions of the same parametrically coupled qubits can yield closely similar period-averaged populations yet qualitatively different asymptotic entanglem...

  • Connecting the tensor-categorical formulation of anyon condensation with operator algebras and entropic order parameters

    Anyon condensation that describes the transition between topological quantum field theories can be formulated in the language of tensor categories or that of operator algebras. We deploy the formalism of Doplicher-Haag-Roberts bimodules over quasi-local $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-algebras recently developed in [1] to investigate anyon condensation, which is associated with an extensio...

  • The Min-Rains Relative Entropy Is Not Tight for Exact PPT Entanglement Distillation

    Exact entanglement distillation converts a noisy bipartite state into a maximally entangled state with zero error. Under completely PPT-preserving operations, the additive min-Rains relative entropy provides a single-letter upper bound on the regularized distillation rate. An interesting problem in entanglement theory dating back to 2016 has been whether this bound is always...

  • Numerical methods for the simulation of quantum walks and quantum annealing

    It is known that Chebyshev based polynomial approximation gives a near-optimal rate of convergence for calculating a function of a Hermitian matrix. However, previous work has not discussed the option of true minimax approximation, nor the specifics of writing a high performance implementation with a rigorous analysis of errors. This work provides such an analysis and an ope...

  • Enhancing the power of a quantum heat engine via control of the system--reservoir coupling

    The non-equilibrium properties of open quantum systems are determined by the microscopic laws governing energy exchange with their environment. In particular, an enhancement of the performance of quantum heat engines has been predicted by speeding up the dynamics through control of the system--bath interaction. However, direct microscopic control of heat transfer between the...

  • Efficient Assembly of a Defect-Free Quantum Register of 1024 Neutral-Atom Qubits

    Low-entropy arrays of atomic quantum systems in optical tweezers offer unique prospects for fundamental research on few- and many-body systems as well as for extended applications in quantum technology. The significance of this approach relies on the achievable system size, its uniformity, and the rate of qubit allocation. We propel the neutral-atom quantum-technology platfo...

  • Perfect State Transfer on Oriented Circulant Graphs: A Complete Classification

    The continuous-time quantum walk on an oriented circulant graph is determined by the Fourier eigenvalues of its Hermitian adjacency matrix. We classify perfect state transfer (PST) between distinct vertices in every nonempty oriented circulant graph. We show that each such graph is described by an odd primitive quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $Δ$, a set of gcd-cla...

  • The optimization landscape of peaked-circuit generation

    Peaked circuits are random quantum circuits whose measurement returns one bitstring far more often than chance. They are a candidate route to verifiable quantum advantage, and the bottleneck is classical generation. Aaronson and Zhang fix a random circuit, append a trainable brickwall of half that depth, and optimize it by gradient descent to raise the probability of one cho...

  • Limitations on Joint Coherence Transfer in Quantum Thermodynamics

    Coherences between different energy levels are strongly constrained by thermodynamics. Here we ask a related question: if several coherence transfers can be optimized separately, can they also be optimized simultaneously by the same thermodynamic process? We show that this is in general a compatibility problem. Using an energy-resolved Stinespring representation of thermal o...

  • Uniformly Stable Minimal Weyl--Heisenberg Measurements Approaching the SIC Benchmark

    Informational completeness (IC) guarantees that an inverse exists, not that it is statistically well conditioned. For minimal rank-one Weyl--Heisenberg (WH) measurements, covariance makes the nonidentity projector-Gram spectrum proportional to the fiducial's ambiguity intensities, with eigenvalues \(d|χ_φ(u)|^2\), turning stability into an explicit worst-direction design pro...

  • A uniform elliptic reduction, an order-matching criterion, and precision benchmarks for the strong-coupling Birman-Schwinger analysis of the lattice three-boson trimer

    We study the strong-coupling Birman-Schwinger analysis of the three-boson lattice Schroedinger operator at the exceptional quasimomentum K = pi. First, we provide an exact closed-form benchmark for the fiber Fredholm determinant at a distinguished flat momentum, valid for every quasimomentum K, obtained via a uniform elliptic reduction of the two-dimensional lattice integral...

  • Quantum Inequalities from the Second Law

    Quantum field theory allows local violations of the classical energy conditions, such as regions of negative energy density. The Ford-Roman quantum inequalities quantify how negative these regions can be and for how long. We present a derivation of these inequalities from the second law of thermodynamics, in an operational framework that couples the field to a small thermal...

  • A 12-CNOT Double Qubit Excitation Gate

    Effective implementation of high-level quantum gates is essential for practical quantum computing. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first reported 12-CNOT decomposition of the double qubit excitation operator, improving upon state-of-the-art (SOTA) implementations with 13 CNOTs. Our new circuit has the lowest CNOT count (12), lowest CNOT depth (10), and lowest to...

  • Scalar Finite-Proper-Time Field Theory as Spectral Operator Calculus

    We formulate a finite-proper-time construction for Euclidean scalar $λφ^4$ theory in which a retained endpoint $s_0$ is assigned to complete internal histories rather than independently to individual Schwinger segments. The theory is defined through paired open and closed spectral functions and their Fréchet/Duhamel hierarchy. Functional differentiation inserts operators alo...

  • Quantum Channel-Induced Geometry of the Uhlmann Phase in Qubit Systems

    We show that a cyclically controlled non-coherence-generating channel supplies a two-parameter family of closed Bloch trajectories, absent in the single-parameter (temperature) cycles of the thermal Uhlmann literature, whose associated Uhlmann phase develops a genuine vortex--antivortex structure on the channel-parameter torus. A qubit prepared in a pure state, which carries...

  • Tabletop reversibility of phase-covariant operations

    Irreversibility and time-translation symmetry are both fundamental in open quantum dynamics, and it is of great importance to study the interplay between them. In this paper, we study tabletop reversibility (TTR) for phase-covariant quantum operations and obtain sharply different conclusions for finite-dimensional and Gaussian systems. For finite-dimensional systems, we prov...

  • A Quantum/Classical Example Oracle Separation for Making Things Up

    We study the power of quantum examples, as compared to classical examples, in the PAC learning framework. Here, we have two learning algorithms, both with access to quantum computation, but one gets quantum examples, whereas the other gets classical examples. It was previously unknown whether there were learning tasks that can be efficiently performed but not by the latter....

  • The Dirac Information Carrier for Relativistic Quantum Computation

    Quantum computation has traditionally been formulated by postulating abstract information carriers and subsequently identifying physical systems that realize them. We adopt the opposite viewpoint and ask what computational structure is supplied by a fundamental relativistic quantum system itself. Focusing on the simplest nontrivial massive spin carrier, spin-1/2, we show tha...

  • Spin lifetime anisotropy in graphene induced by the SiO2 interface

    Understanding how common dielectric substrates influence the spin transport properties of graphene is essential for advancing graphene-based spintronic technologies. Here we use a comprehensive set of numerical simulations to reveal how a SiO$_2$ substrate modifies the spin texture and governs spin relaxation in graphene. Using first-principles density matrix dynamics simula...

  • Improved quantum sampling methods for molecular simulations

    Quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) methods use a quantum computer to identify dominant electronic configurations in the molecular ground state, while a classical computer diagonalizes the Hamiltonian within the reduced subspace spanned by those configurations. Sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD), a leading QSCI approach, uses iterative classical post-pr...

  • Exact dynamics of first-order system-bath coherence in bilinear bosonic models

    We investigate the exact dynamics of first-order system--bath coherence induced by excitation exchange in bilinear bosonic models. By solving the linear Heisenberg equations, we obtain the exact evolution of system and bath operators and evaluate the first-order coherence between the system mode and the collective bath mode directly coupled to it. We analyze how this coheren...

  • Dynamics of the spontaneous emission factor in multiple quantum well nanowire lasers

    The spontaneous emission factor - often known as the \b{eta} factor - is an important quantity in the description of quantum well lasers, influencing both the threshold power as well as the general shape of the light in-light out (L-L) curve. Past work on modelling multiple quantum well (MQW) nanowire laser devices has typically assumed that the \b{eta} factor is a constant...

  • Joint symmetry and dynamical accessibility in compact Hamiltonian encodings of set cover

    Which part of a Hamiltonian spectrum is physically relevant when both the initial state and interpolation preserve several symmetries? We address this question for a compact multi-register encoding of Minimum Set Cover. The represented symmetry combines register permutations with the faithful base action of the incidence automorphism group. We distinguish its fixed, symmetry...

  • On the Swapping Capacity of a Quantum Repeater

    We study the capacity of a memory-based quantum repeater in entanglement swapping between two quantum links with either single or multiple memories, which we refer to as the end-to-end (E2E) entanglement throughput, subject to a constraint on the minimum fidelity. In order to approximate the E2E entanglement throughput, we adopt queueing models, where quantum links can have...

  • Flood of multipartite Rains entanglement

    Multipartite entanglement admits phenomena such as the activation of genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) and the existence of inequivalent classes of entanglement, and existing bipartite entanglement measures have no unique generalization to this regime. In this work, we define the Rains, monsoon, hurricane, and squall entanglement as generalizations of the bipartite Rai...
