Radio-Frequency Side-Channel Analysis of a Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

Giorgio Grigolo, Dorian Schiffer, Lukas Gerster, Martin Ringbauer, Paul ErkerPublished: 2026-03-06
Analogously to classical computers, quantum processors exhibit side channels that may give attackers access to potentially proprietary algorithms. We identify and exploit a previously unexplored side channel in trapped-ion quantum processors that arises from the radio-frequency (RF) signals used to modulate lasers for ion cooling, gate execution, and readout. In these quantum processors, acousto-o...

Performance Comparison of Gate-Based and Adiabatic Quantum Computing for AC Power Flow Problem

Zeynab Kaseb, Matthias Moller, Peter Palensky, Pedro P. VergaraPublished: 2025-10-15
We present the first direct comparison between gate-based quantum computing (GQC) and adiabatic quantum computing (AQC) paradigms for solving the AC power flow (PF) equations. The PF problem is reformulated as a combinatorial optimization problem. For the GQC approach, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is employed, while for the AQC approach, the problem is formulated as an Isi...

Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases extend the Landau paradigm of quantum matter by admitting distinct symmetry-preserving phases that lack any local order parameter. Demonstrating these phases at scale on programmable quantum processors is a key milestone in using quantum hardware to probe emergent many-body phenomena, yet it is impeded by the circuit depth normally required to capture no...

We present a new model of quantum computation rooted in the representation theory of the mass less sector of unitary irreducible representations of the extended Poincare group developed in [1].

Rovibrational energy levels of H$_2$O by quantum computing

Erik Lötstedt, Tamás SzidarovszkyPublished: 2026-03-06
We calculate rovibrational energy levels of H$_2$O using a trapped-ion quantum computer. We first derive the qubit form of Watson's Hamiltonian, including the rovibrational coupling terms. In a second step, we employ a variant of the quantum-selected configuration-interaction method to calculate rovibrational energy levels. A truncated form of the qubit Hamiltonian is used to generate correlated r...

Scattering phase shift in quantum mechanics on quantum computers

Peng Guo, Paul LeVan, Frank X. Lee, Yong ZhaoPublished: 2026-01-07
We investigate the feasibility of extracting infinite volume scattering phase shift on quantum computers in a simple one-dimensional quantum mechanical model, using the formalism established in Ref.~\cite{Guo:2023ecc} that relates the integrated correlation functions (ICF) for a trapped system to the infinite volume scattering phase shifts through a weighted integral. The system is first discretiz...

Universal quantum computation with group surface codes

Naren Manjunath, Vieri Mattei, Apoorv Tiwari, Tyler D. EllisonPublished: 2026-03-05
We introduce group surface codes, which are a natural generalization of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ surface code, and equivalent to quantum double models of finite groups with specific boundary conditions. We show that group surface codes can be leveraged to perform non-Clifford gates in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ surface codes, thus enabling universal computation with well-established means of performing logical Clif...

Heuristics for Shuttling Sequence Optimization for a Linear Segmented Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

J. Durandau, C. A. Brunet, F. Schmidt-Kaler, U. Poschinger, F. Mailhot, Y. Bérubé-LauzièrePublished: 2026-03-05
An algorithm for the generation of shuttling sequences is necessary for the operation of a linear segmented ion-trap quantum computer. The present work provides an implementation of an algorithm that produces sequences proved to be optimal for circuits with a quantum Fourier transform-like structure. Such optimality was proved in previous work of our group. We first present an approach for qubit m...

Computing Green's functions and improving ground state energy estimation on quantum computers with Liouvillian recursion

Jérôme Leblanc, Olivier Nahman-Lévesque, Julien Forget, Thomas Lepage-Lévesque, Simon Verret, Alexandre FoleyPublished: 2026-03-05
We present a quantum-classical hybrid implementation of the Liouvillian recursion method to compute many-body Green's functions using a quantum computer. From an approximate ground state preparation circuit, this algorithm produces the local ($r=r'$) and inter-site ($r\neq r'$) Green's functions $G_{rr'}(ω)$ by measuring observables generated recursively. We demonstrate the approach on a supercond...

Fault-Resilience of Dissipative Processes for Quantum Computing

James Purcell, Abhishek Rajput, Toby CubittPublished: 2025-02-27
Dissipative processes have long been proposed as a means of performing computational tasks on quantum computers that may be intrinsically more robust to noise. In this work, we prove two main results concerning the error-resilience capabilities of two types of dissipative algorithms: dissipative ground state preparation in the form of the dissipative quantum eigensolver (DQE), and dissipative quan...

We present a method for calculating the ground state energy of the Fermi-Hubbard model leveraging Rydberg atom processors and sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD). By exploiting the perturbative relationship between the Fermi-Hubbard and Heisenberg models, the procedure samples from the Heisenberg model as prepared on the Rydberg atom processor, and uses the samples to diagonalize the Fermi-...

Remote Entanglement in Lattice Surgery: To Distill, or Not to Distill

Sitong Liu, John Stack, Ke Sun, Roel Van Beeumen, Inder Monga, Katherine Klymko, Kenneth R. Brown, Erhan SaglamyurekPublished: 2026-03-06
Distributed quantum computing can potentially address the scalability challenge by networking processors through photon-mediated remote entanglement. Prior approaches assumed that remote Bell pairs require distillation, resulting in substantial overhead, to achieve sufficiently high fidelity before use. However, recent results show that lattice-surgery operations at logical qubit boundaries tolera...
