A Note on Publicly Verifiable Quantum Money with Low Quantum Computational Resources

Fabrizio Genovese, Lev StamblerPublished: 2025-12-24
In this work we present a publicly verifiable quantum money protocol which assumes close to no quantum computational capabilities. We rely on one-time memories which in turn can be built from quantum conjugate coding and hardware-based assumptions. Specifically, our scheme allows for a limited number of verifications and also allows for quantum tokens for digital signatures. Double spending is pre...

Sound certification of memory-bounded quantum computers

Jan Nöller, Nikolai Miklin, Martin Kliesch, Mariami GachechiladzePublished: 2024-11-06
The rapid advancement of quantum hardware calls for the development of reliable methods to certify its correct functioning. However, existing certification tests often fall short: they either rely on flawless state preparation and measurement or lack soundness guarantees, meaning that they do not rule out incorrect implementations of the target operations by a quantum device. We introduce an appro...

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...

Distributed Quantum Computing via Adaptive Circuit Knitting

K. Grace Johnson, Aniello Esposito, Gaurav Gyawali, Xin Zhan, Rohit Ganti, Namit Anand, Raymond G. Beausoleil, Masoud MohseniPublished: 2026-03-12
Distributing quantum workloads over many Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) is a crucial step in scaling up quantum computers toward practical quantum advantage due to the limitations in size of a single QPU. In the absence of high-fidelity quantum interconnects, circuit knitting could provide a path to computing certain properties of large quantum systems on many QPUs of limited size in a distribute...

Experimental Realization of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithm on a Quantum Computer

Baptiste Claudon, Sergi Ramos-Calderer, Jean-Philip PiquemalPublished: 2026-03-09
Quantum algorithms present a quadratically improved complexity over classical ones for certain sampling tasks. For instance, the Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE) algorithm promises to speedup the estimation of the mean of certain functions, given access to the quantum state corresponding to the probability distribution to be sampled from. Classically, samples are often obtained by running steps ...

Uniqueness of imaginarity-assisted transformation from computationally universal to strictly universal quantum computation

Yasuaki Nakayama, Yuki Takeuchi, Seiseki AkibuePublished: 2026-03-12
The computational universality with an elementary gate set $\{H,CCZ\}$ can be transformed to the strict universality by using a maximally imaginary state $|+i\rangle$ and some non-imaginary ancillary qubits. From the viewpoint of operational resource theory, it would be intriguing to elucidate a resource for the universality transformation. In this paper, we explore a necessary and sufficient cond...

Unveiling clean two-dimensional discrete time crystals on a digital quantum computer

Kazuya Shinjo, Kazuhiro Seki, Tomonori Shirakawa, Rong-Yang Sun, Seiji YunokiPublished: 2024-03-25
In periodically driven (Floquet) systems, evolution typically results in an infinite-temperature thermal state due to continuous energy absorption over time. However, before reaching thermal equilibrium, such systems may transiently pass through a meta-stable state known as a prethermal state. This prethermal state can exhibit phenomena not commonly observed in equilibrium, such as discrete time c...

Error-Mitigated Hamiltonian Simulation: Complexity Analysis and Optimization for Near-Term and Early-Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers

Keisuke Murota, Synge Todo, Suguru EndoPublished: 2026-03-12
Simulating real-time dynamics under a Hamiltonian is a central goal of quantum information science. While numerous Hamiltonian-simulation quantum algorithms have been proposed, the effects of physical noise have rarely been incorporated into performance analysis, despite the non-negligible noise levels in quantum devices. In this work, we analyze noisy Hamiltonian simulation with quantum error mit...

A Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier and Converter

M. Malnou, B. T. Miller, J. A. Estrada, K. Genter, K. Cicak, J. D. Teufel, J. Aumentado, F. LecocqPublished: 2024-06-27
High-fidelity qubit measurement is a critical element of all quantum computing architectures. In superconducting systems, qubits are typically measured by probing a readout resonator with a weak microwave tone that must be amplified before reaching the room temperature electronics. Superconducting parametric amplifiers have been widely adopted as the first amplifier in the chain, primarily because...

Navig-AI-tion: Navigation by Contextual AI and Spatial Audio

Mathias N. Lystbæk, Haley Adams, Ranjith Kagathi Ananda, Eric J Gonzalez, Luca Ballan, Qiuxuan Wu, Andrea Colaço, Peter Tan, Mar Gonzalez-FrancoPublished: 2026-03-13
Audio-only walking navigation can leave users disoriented, relying on vague cardinal directions and lacking real-time environmental context, leading to frequent errors. To address this, we present a novel system that integrates a Vision Language Model (VLM) with a spatial audio cue. Our system extracts environmental landmarks to anchor navigation instructions and, crucially, provides a directional...

Fluxon Time-Delay Readout of a Superconducting Qubit Protected by a Spectral Gap in a Josephson Transmission Line

Shunsuke Kamimura, Aree Taguchi, Masamitsu Tanaka, Tsuyoshi YamamotoPublished: 2026-03-13
We theoretically investigate a readout scheme of the quantum state of a superconducting qubit based on time delay of a single flux quantum (SFQ), also known as a fluxon, propagating in a Josephson transmission line (JTL). We concretely study the time-delay readout based on capacitive coupling between a transmon qubit and a JTL, and we evaluate the time delay depending on the qubit state. We also r...

Color it, Code it, Cancel it: k-local dynamical decoupling from classical additive codes

Minh T. P. Nguyen, Maximilian Rimbach-Russ, Stefano BoscoPublished: 2025-08-11
Dynamical decoupling is a central technique in quantum computing for actively suppressing decoherence and systematic imperfections through sequences of single-qubit operations. Conventional sequences typically aim to completely freeze system dynamics, often resulting in long protocols whose length scales exponentially with system size. In this work, we introduce a general framework for constructin...

On-Demand Correlated Errors in Superconducting Qubits from a Particle Accelerator

Ionizing radiation is a known source of correlated errors in superconducting quantum processors, inhibiting the functionality of quantum error correction surface codes. High-energy photons and charged particles deposit pair-breaking energy into these systems leading to excess quasiparticles near Josephson junctions that increase qubit decoherence. Previous investigations of this problem have relie...

Signatures of Reconnection and a Split Heliospheric Tail in High-Energy Energetic Neutral Atoms

M. Kornbleuth, M. Opher, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, Zhiyu Yin, K. Dialynas, Y. Chen, J. Giacalone, J. M. Sokół, M. Gkioulidou, I. Baliukin, V. Izmodenov, G. P. ZankPublished: 2026-03-13
The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement whether the heliospheric tail extends to $\sim$10,000 au in a comet-like shape or if it is short ($\sim$400 au) with a split. Energetic neutral atom (ENA) maps from Cassini/INCA at energies from 5.2 to 13.5 keV revealed a global structure e...
