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...

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...

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...

State-adaptive quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing

D. -S. WangPublished: 2025-08-08
We present a theoretical framework for state-adaptive quantum error correction that bridges the gap between quantum computing and error correction paradigms. By incorporating knowledge of quantum states into the error correction process, we establish a new capacity regime governed by quantum mutual information rather than coherent information. This approach reveals a fundamental connection to enta...

Vasily Bokov, Lisa Kohl, Sebastian Schmitt, Vedran DunjkoPublished: 2026-01-29
Quantum machine learning (QML) is often listed as a promising candidate for useful applications of quantum computers, in part due to numerous proofs of possible quantum advantages. A central question is how small a role quantum computers can play while still enabling provable learning advantages over classical methods. We study an especially restricted setting in which a quantum computer is used o...

Distributed Phase-Insensitive Displacement Sensing

Piotr T. Grochowski, Matteo Fadel, Radim FilipPublished: 2026-02-03
Distributed quantum sensing leverages quantum correlations among multiple sensors to enhance the precision of parameter estimation beyond classical limits. Most existing approaches target phase estimation and rely on a shared phase reference between the signal and the probe, yet many relevant scenarios deal with regimes where such a reference is absent, making the estimation of force or field ampl...

Classically Spoofing System Linear Cross Entropy Score Benchmarking

Andrew Tanggara, Mile Gu, Kishor BhartiPublished: 2024-05-01
In recent years, several experimental groups have claimed demonstrations of ``quantum supremacy'' or computational quantum advantage. A notable first claim by Google Quantum AI revolves around a metric called the Linear Cross Entropy Benchmarking (Linear XEB), which has been used in many quantum supremacy experiments since. The complexity-theoretic hardness of spoofing Linear XEB, however, depends...

Robust Tripartite Entanglement Generation via Correlated Noise in Spin Qubits

Sander Driessen, Ji Zou, Even Thingstad, Jelena Klinovaja, Daniel LossPublished: 2025-06-25
We investigate the generation of genuine tripartite entanglement in a triangular spin-qubit system due to spatially correlated noise. In particular, we demonstrate how the formation of a highly entangled dark state -- a W state -- enables robust, long-lived tripartite entanglement. Surprisingly, we find that environmentally induced coherent coupling does not play a crucial role in sustaining this ...

Gihwan Kim, Andreas Butler, Oskar PainterPublished: 2026-02-03
Superconducting quantum circuits typically use capacitive charge-based linear coupling schemes to control interactions between elements such as qubits. While simple and effective, this coupling scheme makes it difficult to satisfy competing circuit design requirements such as maintaining large qubit anharmonicity and coherence along with a high degree of qubit connectivity and packing density. Mor...

Quantum spin-heat engine with trapped ions

André R. R. Carvalho, Liam J. McClelland, Erik W. Streed, Joan VaccaroPublished: 2026-02-03
We propose an ion-trap implementation of the Vaccaro, Barnett and Wright et al. spin-heat engine (SHE); a hypothetical engine that operates between energy and spin thermal reservoirs rather than two energy reservoirs. The SHE operates in two steps: first, in the work extraction stage, heat from a thermal energy reservoir is converted into optical work via a two photon Raman transition resonant wit...
