Enhancing Optical Imaging via Quantum Computation

Aleksandr Mokeev, Babak Saif, Mikhail D. Lukin, Johannes BorregaardPublished: 2025-09-11
Extracting information from weak optical signals is a critical challenge across a broad range of technologies. Conventional imaging techniques, constrained to integrating over detected signals and classical post-processing, are limited in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) from shot noise accumulation in the post-processing algorithms. We show that these limitations can be circumvented by coherently enco...

The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), as the high-performance computing (HPC) facility for the Department of Energy's Office of Science, recognizes the essential role of quantum computing in its future mission.

Special Issue: Commemorating the 110th Anniversary of TANG Au-chin's Birthday Calculation of the Green's function on near-term quantum computers via Cartan decomposition

Lingyun Wan, Jie Liu, Jinlong YangPublished: 2025-09-11
Accurate computation of the Green's function is crucial for connecting experimental observations to the underlying quantum states. A major challenge in evaluating the Green's function in the time domain lies in the efficient simulation of quantum state evolution under a given Hamiltonian-a task that becomes exponentially complex for strongly correlated systems on classical computers. Quantum compu...

QubitHammer: Remotely Inducing Qubit State Change on Superconducting Quantum Computers

Yizhuo Tan, Navnil Choudhury, Kanad Basu, Jakub SzeferPublished: 2025-04-10
To address the rapidly growing demand for cloud-based quantum computing, various researchers are proposing shifting from the existing single-tenant model to a multi-tenant model that expands resource utilization and improves accessibility. However, while multi-tenancy enables multiple users to access the same quantum computer, it introduces potential for security and reliability vulnerabilities. I...

Adaptive Quantum Computers: decoding and state preparation

Niels M. P. NeumannPublished: 2025-09-10
Interacting with a standard computer can enhance the capabilities of current quantum computers already today, particularly by offloading certain computations to the standard computer. Quantum computers that interact with standard computers to perform computations are called adaptive quantum computers. This work formalizes a model that describes these adaptive quantum computers. As quantum computer...

Atomic diffraction by patterned holes in hexagonal boron nitride: a comparison between semi-classical and quantum computational models

Eivind Kristen Osestad, Ekaterina Zossimova, Michael Walter, Johannes FiedlerPublished: 2025-09-10
The diffraction of atoms and molecules through tiny, sub-nanometre holes in atomically thin membranes is a promising approach for advancing atom interferometry sensing and atomic holography. However, dispersion interactions, such as the Casimir-Polder force, pose a significant challenge by attracting diffracting particles to the membrane, limiting the minimum hole size. This paper presents a numer...

Talha Azfar, Osama Muhammad Raisuddin, Ruimin Ke, Jose Holguin-VerasPublished: 2025-05-02
The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is a fundamental combinatorial optimization challenge with broad applications in logistics and transportation. In this work, we present a quantum-assisted framework that integrates the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) with a link-based formulation of VRP. Our approach encodes flow conservation and subtour elimination directly into the cost Hamilto...

In this work, we evaluate an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to optimize a given circuit in such a way that it reduces the required communication when executed in the Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) paradigm. We evaluate our approach for a state preparation task using Grover circuits and show that it is able to reduce the required global gates by more than 89% while still achieving high fidelity a...

Fusion for High-Dimensional Linear Optical Quantum Computing with Improved Success Probability

Gözde Üstün, Eleanor G. Rieffel, Simon J. Devitt, Jason SaiedPublished: 2025-05-22
Type-II fusion is a probabilistic entangling measurement that is essential to measurement-based linear optical quantum computing and can be used for quantum teleportation more broadly. However, it remains under-explored for high-dimensional qudits. Our main result gives a Type-II fusion protocol with proven success probability approximately $2/d^2$ for qudits of arbitrary dimension $d$. This gener...

The simulation of large-scale classical systems in exponentially small space on quantum computers has gained attention. The prior work demonstrated that a quantum algorithm offers an exponential speedup over any classical algorithm in simulating classical dynamics with long-range interactions. However, many real-world classical systems, such as those arising from partial differential equations, ex...

Matee ur Rehman, Paul Winter, Fabio Revuelta, Alejandro SaenzPublished: 2025-09-12
Recent advancements in optical tweezers enable the trapping of arbitrary numbers of neutral atoms and molecules, even arrays of tweezers with variable geometry can be realized.

Spin-qubit Noise Spectroscopy of Magnetic Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Physics

Mark Potts, Shu ZhangPublished: 2025-09-12
We propose using spin-qubit noise magnetometry to probe dynamical signatures of magnetic Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) physics. For a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center coupled to two-dimensional XY magnets, we predict distinctive features in the magnetic noise spectral density in the sub-MHz to GHz frequency range. In the quasi-long-range ordered phase, the spectrum exhibits a temperature-depen...

Quantum Dissipative Continuous Time Crystals

Felix Russo, Thomas PohlPublished: 2025-03-20
Continuous time crystals, i.e., nonequilibrium phases with a spontaneously broken continuous time-translational symmetry, have been studied and recently observed in the long-time dynamics of open quantum systems. Here, we investigate a lattice of interacting three-level particles and find two distinct time-crystal phases that cannot be described within mean-field theory. Remarkably, one of them em...

SU(3) rigid triaxiality in $^{154}$Sm

Chunxiao Zhou, Xue Shang, Tao WangPublished: 2025-09-12
The $^{154}$Sm nucleus, which has long been regarded as a typical quantum system exhibiting axial symmetry, has been recently suggested to exhibit a small degree of triaxiality by Otsuka \textit{et al.}. This small triaxiality was recently observed using the $\gamma$ decay of the $^{154}$Sm isovector giant dipole resonance. Thus further studying this small triaxiality is very necessary for underst...

For various optimization problems, the classical time to solution is super-polynomial and intractable to solve with classical bit-based computing hardware to date. Digital and quantum annealers have the potential to identify near-optimal solutions for such optimization problems using a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem formulation. This work benchmarks two use cases to eva...

Md Nahidul Islam Opu, Fatima Islam Mouri, Rick Kazman, Yuanfang Cai, Shaiful ChowdhuryPublished: 2025-07-02
Predicting a mobile app's popularity before its first release can provide developers with a strategic advantage in a competitive marketplace, yet it remains a challenging problem. This study explores the extent to which internal software metrics, measurable from source code before deployment, can predict an app's popularity (i.e., ratings and downloads per year) at inception. For our analysis, we ...
