Disassembling qLDPC codes for depth-optimal parity-check circuitsTier 3

Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes offer a promising route to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing, but their practical implementation requires efficient circuits for syndrome extraction. Many qLDPC families are assembled from a small set of components through explicit constructions that imprint edge symmetries on their Tanner graphs. We show that these symm...

Lensing and enhanced single atom detection via a single-pixel nanostructureTier 3

We propose and demonstrate a general mechanism for nanoscale lensing based on the phase gradient imposed by a single nanostructure scattering light in its near-field. We verify this effect using an optical waveguide on a substrate, with single atoms serving as quantum probes that sample the near-field intensity through their fluorescence. This quantum probing technique provi...

Cornell Researchers Lower Tantalum Qubit Deposition Temperature to 200°C Using Krypton Gas SputteringTier 2

<p>A research team led by Cornell University Assistant Professor Valla Fatemi has developed a low-temperature fabrication process for tantalum-based superconducting qubits, resolving a major manufacturing bottleneck for superconducting quantum processing units (QPUs). Detailed in Nature Materials ("Krypton-sputtered tantalum films for scalable high-performance quantum device...

Imaginary time evolution of a quantum system through analytic continuation from real-time quantum simulationTier 3

Though quantum computing naturally offers an advantage for simulations of real-time quantum systems, implementing Imaginary-Time Evolution (ITE) is comparatively more difficult. Nevertheless, quantum implementations of ITE are useful both in cases where classical implementations have associated sign problems, and also as an exact method of preparing eigenstates on quantum co...
