Chemistry and materials science are widely regarded as potential killer application fields for quantum hardware. While the dream of unlocking unprecedented simulation capabilities remains compelling, quantum algorithm development must adapt to the evolving constraints of the emerging quantum hardware in order to accomplish any advantage for the computational chemistry practice. At the same time, t...

End-to-End Simulation of Chemical Dynamics on a Quantum Computer

Elliot C. Eklund, Arkin Tikku, Patrick Sinnott, William J. Huggins, Guang Hao Low, Dominic W. Berry, Ivan KassalPublished: 2026-03-19
Simulations of chemical dynamics are a powerful means for understanding chemistry. However, classical computers struggle to simulate many chemical processes, especially non-adiabatic ones, where the Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down. Quantum computers could simulate quantum-chemical dynamics more efficiently than classical computers, but there is currently no complete quantum algorithm fo...

Hyperbolic and Semi-Hyperbolic Floquet Codes for Photonic Quantum Computing

Aygul Azatovna GalimovaPublished: 2026-02-26
Hyperbolic Floquet codes use only weight-2 measurements and can be implemented directly on hardware with native pair measurements. We construct hyperbolic and semi-hyperbolic Floquet codes from $\{8,3\}$, $\{10,3\}$, and $\{12,3\}$ tessellations via the Wythoff kaleidoscopic construction with the Low-Index Normal Subgroups (LINS) algorithm. The $\{10,3\}$ and $\{12,3\}$ families are new to hyperbo...

Data Obfuscation for Secure Use of Classical Values in Quantum Computation

Amal Raj, Vivek BalachandranPublished: 2026-03-18
Quantum computing often requires classical data to be supplied to execution environments that may not be fully trusted or isolated. While encryption protects data at rest and in transit, it provides limited protection once computation begins, when classical values are encoded into quantum registers. This paper explores data obfuscation for protecting classical values during quantum computation. To...

Constant-Depth Unitary Preparation of Dicke States

Malvika Raj Joshi, Francisca VasconcelosPublished: 2026-01-15
Dicke states serve as a critical resource in quantum metrology, communication, and computation. However, unitary preparation of Dicke states is limited to logarithmic depth in standard circuit models and existing constant-depth protocols require measurement and feed-forward. In this work, we present the first unitary, constant-depth protocols for exact Dicke state preparation. We overcome the loga...

The End of Rented Discovery: How AI Search Redistributes Power Between Hotels and Intermediaries

Peiying Zhu, Sidi ChangPublished: 2026-03-20
When a traveler asks an AI search engine to recommend a hotel, which sources get cited -- and does query framing matter? We audit 1,357 grounding citations from Google Gemini across 156 hotel queries in Tokyo and document a systematic pattern we call the Intent-Source Divide. Experiential queries draw 55.9\% of their citations from non-OTA sources, compared to 30.8\% for transactional queries -- a...

Increasing valley splitting in Si/SiGe by practically achievable heterostructure profiles

Lukas Cvitkovich, Peter Stano, Dominique Bougeard, Yann-Michel Niquet, Daniel LossPublished: 2026-03-20
Silicon spin qubits are marred by the valley degeneracy of the conduction band. In a nanodevice, the degeneracy is lifted by interfaces and alloy disorder, but the arising valley splitting is small, of order 100 $μ$eV in Si/SiGe quantum wells. Substantial efforts were invested both in theory and experiments to overcome the valley issue. Unfortunately, the existing recipes either rely on atomistic ...
