Carla Rieger, Albert T. Schmitz, Gehad Salem, Massimiliano Incudini, Sofia Vallecorsa, Anne Y. Matsuura, Michele Grossi, Gian Giacomo GuerreschiPublished: 2026-02-09
Quantum chemistry and materials science are among the most promising areas for demonstrating algorithmic quantum advantage and quantum utility due to their inherent quantum mechanical nature. Still, large-scale simulations of quantum circuits are essential for determining the problem size at which quantum solutions outperform classical methods.

Viviana Centritto, Ama Bandara, Heqi Deng, Masoud Babaie, Evgenii Vinogradov, Sergi Abadal, Eduard AlarconPublished: 2025-10-15
Scaling quantum computers from a few qubits to large numbers remains one of the critical challenges in realizing practical quantum advantage. Multi-core quantum architectures have emerged as a promising solution, enabling scalability through distributed quantum processing units (QPUs) interconnected via classical and quantum links. However, the bottleneck of wired connections persists, as densely ...

Efficient circuit compression by multi-qudit entangling gates in linear optical quantum computation

Apurav, Jaskaran SinghPublished: 2026-02-09
Linear optical quantum computation (LOQC) offers a promising platform for scalable quantum information processing, but its scalability is fundamentally constrained by the probabilistic nature of non-local entangling gates. Qudit circuit compression schemes mitigate this issue by encoding multiple qubits onto qudits. However, these schemes become inefficient when only a subset of the encoded qubits...

Improved entanglement-based high-dimensional optical quantum computation with linear optics

Huan-Chao Gao, Guo-Zhu Song, Hai-Rui WeiPublished: 2026-02-08
Quantum gates are the essential block for quantum computer. High-dimensional quantum gates exhibit remarkable advantages over their two-dimensional counterparts for some quantum information processing tasks. Here we present a family of entanglement-based optical controlled-SWAP gates on $\mathbb{C}^{2}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{d}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{d}$. With the hybrid encoding, we encode the control qu...

TensorHyper-VQC: A Tensor-Train-Guided Hypernetwork for Robust and Scalable Variational Quantum Computing

Jun Qi, Chao-Han Huck Yang, Pin-Yu Chen, Min-Hsiu HsiehPublished: 2025-08-01
Variational Quantum Computing (VQC) faces fundamental scalability barriers, primarily due to barren plateaus and sensitivity to quantum noise. To address these challenges, we introduce TensorHyper-VQC, a novel tensor-train (TT)-guided hypernetwork framework that significantly improves the robustness and scalability of VQC. Our framework fully delegates the generation of quantum-circuit parameters ...

A method of an on-demand beamsplitter for trapped-ion quantum computers

Takanori NishiPublished: 2025-08-27
Quantum information processing using local modes of trapped ions has been applied to implementing bosonic quantum error correction codes and conducting efficient quantum simulation of bosonic systems. However, control of entanglement among local modes remains difficult because entanglement among resonant local modes is governed by the Coulomb interaction, which is not switchable. We propose a meth...

Yong Liu, Guangyao Huang, Yizhi Wang, Junjie WuPublished: 2025-06-10
Solving quantum many-body systems is one of the most significant regimes where quantum computing applies. Currently, as a hardware-friendly computational paradigms, variational algorithms are often used for finding the ground energy of quantum many-body systems. However, running large-scale variational algorithms is challenging, because of the noise as well as the obstacle of barren plateaus. In t...

Measurement-Based Preparation of Higher-Dimensional AKLT States and Their Quantum Computational Power

Wenhan Guo, Mikhail Litvinov, Tzu-Chieh Wei, Abid Khan, Kevin C. SmithPublished: 2026-02-06
We investigate a constant-time, fusion measurement-based scheme to create AKLT states beyond one dimension. We show that it is possible to prepare such states on a given graph up to random spin-1 `decorations', each corresponding to a probabilistic insertion of a vertex along an edge. In investigating their utility in measurement-based quantum computation, we demonstrate that any such randomly dec...

Putting fermions onto a digital quantum computer

Riley W. Chien, Mitchell L. Chiew, Brent Harrison, Jason Necaise, Weishi Wang, Maryam Mudassar, Campbell McLauchlan, Thomas M. Henderson, Gustavo E. Scuseria, Sergii Strelchuk, James D. WhitfieldPublished: 2026-02-06
Quantum computers are expected to become a powerful tool for studying physical quantum systems. Consequently, a number of quantum algorithms for studying the physical properties of such systems have been developed. While qubit-based quantum computers are naturally suited to the study of spin-1/2 systems, systems containing other degrees of freedom must first be encoded into qubits. Transformations...

Charge-$4e$ superconductor with parafermionic vortices: A path to universal topological quantum computation

Zhengyan Darius Shi, Zhaoyu Han, Srinivas Raghu, Ashvin VishwanathPublished: 2026-02-06
Topological superconductors (TSCs) provide a promising route to fault-tolerant quantum information processing. However, the canonical Majorana platform based on $2e$ TSCs remains computationally constrained. In this work, we find a $4e$ TSC that overcomes these constraints by combining a charge-$4e$ condensate with an Abelian chiral $\mathbb{Z}_3$ topological order in an intertwined fashion. Remar...

No Word Left Behind: Mitigating Prefix Bias in Open-Vocabulary Keyword Spotting

Yi Liu, Chuan-Che, Huang, Xiao QuanPublished: 2026-02-09
Open-vocabulary keyword spotting (OV-KWS) enables personalized device control via arbitrary voice commands. Recently, researchers have explored using audio-text joint embeddings, allowing users to enroll phrases with text, and proposed techniques to disambiguate similar utterances. We find that existing OV-KWS solutions often overly bias the beginning phonemes of an enrollment, causing false trigg...

Differentiable Logical Programming for Quantum Circuit Discovery and Optimization

Antonin SulcPublished: 2026-02-09
Designing high-fidelity quantum circuits remains challenging, and current paradigms often depend on heuristic, fixed-ansatz structures or rule-based compilers that can be suboptimal or lack generality. We introduce a neuro-symbolic framework that reframes quantum circuit design as a differentiable logic programming problem. Our model represents a scaffold of potential quantum gates and parameteriz...

A cavity-mediated reconfigurable coupling scheme for superconducting qubits

Shinyoung Hwang, Sangyeon Lee, Eunjong KimPublished: 2026-02-09
Superconducting qubits have achieved remarkable progress in gate fidelity and coherence, yet their typical nearest-neighbor connectivity presents constraints for implementing complex quantum circuits. Here, we introduce a cavity-mediated coupling architecture in which a shared cavity mode, accessed through tunable qubit-cavity couplers, enables dynamically reconfigurable interactions between non-a...

The Use of AI Tools to Develop and Validate Q-Matrices

Kevin Fan, Jacquelyn A. Bialo, Hongli LiPublished: 2026-02-09
Constructing a Q-matrix is a critical but labor-intensive step in cognitive diagnostic modeling (CDM). This study investigates whether AI tools (i.e., general language models) can support Q-matrix development by comparing AI-generated Q-matrices with a validated Q-matrix from Li and Suen (2013) for a reading comprehension test. In May 2025, multiple AI models were provided with the same training m...

QUOKA: Query-Oriented KV Selection For Efficient LLM Prefill

Dalton Jones, Junyoung Park, Matthew Morse, Mingu Lee, Chris Lott, Harper LangstonPublished: 2026-02-09
We present QUOKA: Query-oriented KV selection for efficient attention, a training-free and hardware agnostic sparse attention algorithm for accelerating transformer inference under chunked prefill. While many queries focus on a smaller group of keys in the attention operator, we observe that queries with low cosine similarity with respect to the mean query interact more strongly with more keys and...

Numerical solution of the two-dimensional Calderon problem for domains close to a disk

Vladimir A. Sharafutdinov, Konstantin V. StorozhukPublished: 2026-02-09
For a compact Riemannian surface $(M,g)$ with non-empty boundary $Γ$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (DtN-map) $Λ_g:C^\infty(Γ)\to C^\infty(Γ)$ is defined by $Λ_gf=\left.\frac{\partial u}{\partialν}\right|_Γ$, where $ν$ is the unit outer normal vector to the boundary and $u$ is the solution to the Dirichlet problem $Δ_gu=0,\ u|_Γ=f$. The Calderón problem consists of recovering a Riemannian surf...
