Multiconfiguration Pair-Density Functional Theory Calculations of Ground and Excited States of Complex Chemical Systems with Quantum Computers

Zhanou Liu, Yuhao Chen, Yingjin Ma, Xiao He, Yuxin DengPublished: 2026-02-11
Accurately describing strong electron correlation in complex systems remains a prominent challenge in computational chemistry as near-term quantum algorithms treating total correlation often require prohibitively deep circuits. Here we present a hybrid strategy combining the Variational Quantum Eigensolver with Multiconfiguration Pair-Density Functional Theory to efficiently decouple correlation e...

In this paper, we report on the resolution of nonlinear differential equations using IBM's quantum platform. More specifically, we demonstrate that the hybrid classical-quantum algorithm H-DES successfully solves a one-dimensional material deformation problem and the inviscid Burgers' equation on IBM's 156-qubit quantum computers. These results constitute a step toward performing physically releva...

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...

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...

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...

Two-Level System Spectroscopy from Correlated Multilevel Relaxation in Superconducting Qubits

Tanay Roy, Xinyuan You, David van Zanten, Francesco Crisa, Sabrina Garattoni, Shaojiang Zhu, Anna Grassellino, Alexander RomanenkoPublished: 2026-02-11
Transmon qubits are a cornerstone of modern superconducting quantum computing platforms. Temporal fluctuations of energy relaxation in these qubits are widely attributed to microscopic two-level systems (TLSs) in device dielectrics and interfaces, yet isolating individual defects typically relies on tuning the qubit or the TLS into resonance. We demonstrate a novel spectroscopy method for fixed-fr...

Coherence Protection for Mobile Spin Qubits in Silicon

Jan A. Krzywda, Yuta Matsumoto, Maxim De Smet, Larysa Tryputen, Sander L. de Snoo, Sergey V. Amitonov, Evert van Nieuwenburg, Giordano Scappucci, Lieven M. K. VandersypenPublished: 2026-02-09
Mobile spin qubit architectures promise flexible connectivity for efficient quantum error correction and relaxed device layout constraints, but their viability rests on preserving spin coherence during transport. While shuttling transforms spatial disorder into time-dependent noise, its net impact on spin coherence remains an open question. Here we demonstrate systematic noise mitigation during sp...

Recirculating Quantum Photonic Networks for Fast Deterministic Quantum Information Processing

Emil Grovn, Matias Bundgaard-Nielsen, Jesper Mørk, Dirk Englund, Mikkel HeuckPublished: 2026-02-11
A fundamental challenge in photonics-based deterministic quantum information processing is to realize key transformations on time scales shorter than those of detrimental decoherence and loss mechanisms. This challenge has been addressed through device-focused approaches that aim to increase nonlinear interactions relative to decoherence rates. In this work, we adopt a complementary architecture-f...

AgentCrypt: Advancing Privacy and (Secure) Computation in AI Agent Collaboration

Harish Karthikeyan, Yue Guo, Leo de Castro, Antigoni Polychroniadou, Udari Madhushani Sehwag, Leo Ardon, Sumitra Ganesh, Manuela VelosoPublished: 2025-12-08
As AI agents increasingly operate in complex environments, ensuring reliable, context-aware privacy is critical for regulatory compliance. Traditional access controls are insufficient because privacy risks often arise after access is granted; agents may inadvertently compromise privacy during reasoning by messaging humans, leaking context to peers, or executing unsafe tool calls. Existing approach...

Measuring Rényi entropy using a projected Loschmidt echo

Yi-Neng Zhou, Robin Löwenberg, Julian SonnerPublished: 2025-04-07
We present efficient and practical protocols to measure the second Rényi entropy (RE), whose exponential is known as the purity. We achieve this by establishing a direct connection to a Loschmidt echo (LE) type measurement sequence, applicable to quantum many-body systems. Notably, our approach does not rely on random-noise averaging, a feature that can be extended to protocols to measure out-of-t...

Experimental demonstration that qubits can be cloned at will, if encrypted with a single-use decryption key

Koji Yamaguchi, Leon Rullkötter, Ibrahim Shehzad, Sean J. Wagner, Christian Tutschku, Achim KempfPublished: 2026-02-11
The no-cloning theorem forbids the creation of identical copies of qubits, thereby imposing strong limitations on quantum technologies. A recently-proposed protocol, encrypted cloning, showed, however, that the creation of perfect clones is theoretically possible - if the clones are simultaneously encrypted with a single-use decryption key. It has remained an open question, however, whether encryp...
