Digital signatures with classical shadows on near-term quantum computers

Pradeep Niroula, Minzhao Liu, Sivaprasad Omanakuttan, David Amaro, Shouvanik Chakrabarti, Soumik Ghosh, Zichang He, Yuwei Jin, Fatih Kaleoglu, Steven Kordonowy, Rohan Kumar, Michael A. Perlin, Akshay Seshadri, Matthew Steinberg, Joseph Sullivan, Jacob Watkins, Henry Yuen, Ruslan ShaydulinPublished: 2026-02-04
Quantum mechanics provides cryptographic primitives whose security is grounded in hardness assumptions independent of those underlying classical cryptography. However, existing proposals require low-noise quantum communication and long-lived quantum memory, capabilities which remain challenging to realize in practice. In this work, we introduce a quantum digital signature scheme that operates with...

Vistas of Algebraic Probability: Quantum Computation and Information

Antonio Falcó, Hermann G. MatthiesPublished: 2026-02-04
Kolmogorov's foundation of probability takes measure spaces, $σ$-algebras, and probability measures as basic objects. It is, however, widely recognized that this classical framework is inadequate for random phenomena involving quantum effects, and more generally for \emph{quantum-like} situations. A broader formulation is provided by an algebraic viewpoint: one starts from an algebra of random var...

A Quantum Computing Framework for VLBI Data Correlation

Lei LiuPublished: 2026-02-04
We present a quantum computing framework for VLBI data correlation. We point out that a classical baseband time series data of length $N$ can be embedded into a quantum superposition state using amplitude encoding with only $\log_2 N$ qubits. The basic VLBI correlation and fringe fitting operations, including fringe rotation, Fourier transform, delay compensation, and cross correlation, can be imp...

Data Verification is the Future of Quantum Computing Copilots

Junhao Song, Ziqian Bi, Xinliang Chia, William Knottenbelt, Yudong CaoPublished: 2026-02-03
Quantum program generation demands a level of precision that may not be compatible with the statistical reasoning carried out in the inference of large language models (LLMs). Hallucinations are mathematically inevitable and not addressable by scaling, which leads to infeasible solutions. We argue that architectures prioritizing verification are necessary for quantum copilots and AI automation in ...

Quantum Computing for Electronic Circular Dichroism Spectrum Prediction of Chiral Molecules

Amandeep Singh Bhatia, Sabre KaisPublished: 2026-02-03
Electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy captures the chiroptical response of molecules, enabling absolute configuration assignment that is vital for enantioselective synthesis and drug design. The practical use of ECD spectra in predictive modeling remains restricted, as existing approaches offer limited confidence for chiral discrimination. By contrast, theoretical ECD calculations deman...

Optimal Effective Hamiltonian for Quantum Computing and Simulation

Hao-Yu Guan, Xiao-Long Zhu, Yu-Hang Dang, Xiu-Hao DengPublished: 2026-02-03
The effective Hamiltonian serves as the conceptual pivot of quantum engineering, transforming physical complexity into programmable logic; yet, its construction remains compromised by the mathematical non-uniqueness of block diagonalization, which introduces an intrinsic "gauge freedom" that standard methods fail to resolve. We address this by establishing the Least Action Unitary Transformation (...

An Evaluation of the Remote CX Protocol under Noise in Distributed Quantum Computing

Leo Sünkel, Michael Kölle, Tobias Rohe, Claudia Linnhoff-PopienPublished: 2026-02-03
Quantum computers connected through classical and quantum communication channels can be combined to function as a single unit to run large quantum circuits that each device is unable to execute on their own. The distributed quantum computing paradigm is therefore often seen as a potential pathway to scaling quantum computing to capacities necessary for practical and large-scale applications. Wheth...

AQER: a scalable and efficient data loader for digital quantum computers

Kaining Zhang, Xinbiao Wang, Yuxuan Du, Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Dacheng TaoPublished: 2026-02-02
Digital quantum computing promises to offer computational capabilities beyond the reach of classical systems, yet its capabilities are often challenged by scarce quantum resources. A critical bottleneck in this context is how to load classical or quantum data into quantum circuits efficiently. Approximate quantum loaders (AQLs) provide a viable solution to this problem by balancing fidelity and ci...

Quantum technologies have surpassed classical systems by leveraging the unique properties of superposition and entanglement in photons and matter. Recent advancements in integrated quantum photonics, especially in silicon-based and lithium niobate platforms, are pushing the technology toward greater scalability and functionality. Silicon circuits have progressed from centimeter-scale, dual-photon ...

Sub-Riemannian geometry of measurement based quantum computation

Lukas Hantzko, Arnab Adhikary, Robert RaussendorfPublished: 2025-08-25
The computational power of quantum phases of matter with symmetry can be accessed through local measurements, but what is the most efficient way of doing so? In this work, we show that minimizing operational resources in measurement-based quantum computation on subsystem symmetric resource states amounts to solving a sub-Riemannian geodesic problem between the identity and the target logical unita...

Requirements for Teleportation in an Intercity Quantum Network

Soubhadra Maiti, Guus Avis, Sounak Kar, Stephanie WehnerPublished: 2026-02-04
We investigate the hardware requirements for quantum teleportation in an intercity-scale network topology consisting of two metropolitan-scale networks connected via a long-distance backbone link. Specifically, we identify the minimal improvements required beyond the state-of-the-art to achieve an end-to-end expected teleportation fidelity of $2/3$, which represents the classical limit. To this en...

Evolutionary Mapping of Neural Networks to Spatial Accelerators

Alessandro Pierro, Jonathan Timcheck, Jason Yik, Marius Lindauer, Eyke Hüllermeier, Marcel WeverPublished: 2026-02-04
Spatial accelerators, composed of arrays of compute-memory integrated units, offer an attractive platform for deploying inference workloads with low latency and low energy consumption. However, fully exploiting their architectural advantages typically requires careful, expert-driven mapping of computational graphs to distributed processing elements. In this work, we automate this process by framin...

Quantum dots in SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructures host coherent electron spin qubits, which are promising for future quantum computers. The silicon quantum well hosts near-degenerate electron valley states, creating a low-lying excited state that is known to reduce spin qubit readout and control fidelity. The valley energy splitting is dominated by the microscopic disorder in the SiGe alloy and at the...

Chiara Vercellino, Giacomo Vitali, Paolo Viviani, Alberto Scionti, Olivier Terzo, Bartolomeo Montrucchio, Pascal Jahan Elahi, Ugo VarettoPublished: 2026-02-04
Achieving ubiquitous global connectivity requires integrating satellite and terrestrial networks, particularly to serve remote and underserved regions. In this work, we investigate the design and optimization of Space-Terrestrial Integrated Networks (STINs) using a hybrid quantum-classical approach. We formalize three key combinatorial optimization problems: the Satellite Selection Problem (SSP), ...

Sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) offers a powerful route to accurate quantum chemistry on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices by combining quantum sampling with classical diagonalization. Here we introduce HSQD, a novel half-qubit SQD approach that halves the qubit requirement for simulating a chemical system and drastically reduces overall circuit depth and gate counts, supp...

The collection consists of two main components: an Automated Speech Recognit...
