Integrating quantum mechanics into drug discovery marks a decisive shift from empirical trial-and-error toward quantitative precision. However, the prohibitive cost of ab initio molecular dynamics has historically forced a compromise between chemical accuracy and computational scalability. This paper identifies the convergence of High-Performance Computing (HPC), Machine Learning (ML), and Quantum...

Davide Castaldo, Markus ReiherPublished: 2026-03-19
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...

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...

A Flexible GKP-State-Embedded Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation Configuration Based on a Three-Dimensional Cluster State

Peilin Du, Jing Zhang, Tiancai Zhang, Rongguo Yang, Kui Liu, Jiangrui GaoPublished: 2026-03-19
The integration of diverse quantum resources and the exploitation of more degrees of freedom provide key operational flexibility for universal fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work, we propose a flexible Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill-state-embedded fault-tolerant quantum computation architecture based on a three-dimensional cluster state constructed in polarization, frequency, and orbital a...

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...

Quantum computers represent a new computational paradigm with steadily improving hardware capabilities. In this article, we present the first study exploring how current quantum computers can be used to classify different neutrino event types observed in neutrino telescopes. We investigate two quantum machine learning approaches, Neural Projected Quantum Kernels (NPQKs) and Quantum Convolutional N...

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...

Implementation of non-local arbitrary two-qubit controlled gates via geometric quantum computation with Rydberg anti-blockade

Le-Jiang Yu, Jia Zheng, Kun Pu, Chao GaoPublished: 2026-03-18
In the context of Rydberg anti-blockade, this paper proposes a new scheme for a high-fidelity controlled-unitary gate based on non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation. Under specific detuning and interaction conditions, the scheme achieves a suitable evolution path for non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation through reverse engineering of pulse parameters. Numerical simulations show that t...

Digital-Analog Quantum Computing with Qudits

Alatz Alvarez-Ahedo, Mikel Garcia de Andoin, Mikel SanzPublished: 2025-12-19
Digital-analog quantum computing with two-level systems is a computational paradigm that combines an analog Hamiltonian with single-qubit gates to achieve universality. We extend this framework to $d$-level systems by conjugating an analog Hamiltonian block with single-qudit gates drawn from the Weyl-Heisenberg basis, which provides a natural set of operations for qudit architectures. More specifi...

Performance Testing of ChaCha20-Poly1305 for Internet of Things and Industrial Control System devices

Kristján Orri Ragnarsson, Jacky MallettPublished: 2026-03-19
Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and many simple Internet of Things (IoT) devices, commonly communicate using unencrypted or unauthenticated protocols. For ICS this is an historical carryover since the introduction of these systems predated practical lightweight cryptography. As the processing power of small devices has grown exponentially at the same time as new, more efficient encryption algori...

Benchmarking Single-Qubit Gates on a Neutral Atom Quantum Processor

Artem Rozanov, Boris Bantysh, Ivan Bobrov, Gleb Struchalin, Stanislav StraupePublished: 2025-09-08
We present benchmarking results for single-qubit gates implemented on a neutral atom quantum processor using Direct Randomized Benchmarking (DRB) and Gate Set Tomography (GST). The DRB protocol involves preparing stabilizer states, applying $m$ layers of native single-qubit gates, and measuring in the computational basis, providing an efficient error characterization under a stochastic Pauli noise...

Congestion Control for Spraying with Congested Paths

Barak Gerstein, Mark Silberstein, Isaac KeslassyPublished: 2025-09-09
Packet spraying approaches are increasingly deployed in datacenter networks. However, their combination with existing congestion control algorithms (CCAs) may lead to poor QoS, especially when some of the paths are congested. In this paper, we first model the throughput collapse of a wide array of CCAs when some of the paths are congested. We explain that since CCAs are typically designed for si...

Resonances, Recurrence Times and Steady States in Monitored Noisy Qubit Systems

Shuanger Ma, Sabine Tornow, Eli BarkaiPublished: 2026-03-19
We study non-equilibrium steady states and recurrence times in noisy, stroboscopically monitored qubit systems using complete measurements. In the noiseless limit, recurrence times are integer-quantized, with dips to lower integers when sampling approaches revival conditions associated with ergodicity breaking. Using an IBM quantum platform, we find that quantization is robust when sampling far fr...

Single snapshot non-Markovianity of Pauli channels

Alireza Seif, Moein Malekakhlagh, Swarnadeep Majumder, Luke C. G. GoviaPublished: 2026-02-13
Pauli channels are widely used to describe errors in quantum computers, particularly when noise is shaped via Pauli twirling. A common assumption is that such channels admit a Markovian generator, namely a Pauli-Lindblad model with non-negative rates, but the validity of this assumption has not been systematically examined. Here, using CP-indivisibility as our criterion for non-Markovianity, we st...

XCOM: Full Mesh Network Synchronization and Low-Latency Communication for QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit)

Diego Martin, Luis H. Arnaldi, Kenneth Treptow, Neal Wilcer, Sho Uemura, Sara Sussman, David I Schuster, Gustavo CanceloPublished: 2026-03-19
Quantum computing experiments and testbeds with large qubit counts have until recently been a privilege afforded only to large companies or quantum technologies where scaling to hundreds or thousands of qubits does not require a substantial increase in quantum control hardware (neutral atoms, trapped ions, or spin defects). Superconducting and spin qubit testbeds critically depend on scaling their...

Line search by quantum logic spectroscopy enhanced with squeezing and statistical tests

Ivan Vybornyi, Shuying Chen, Lukas J. Spieß, Piet O. Schmidt, Klemens HammererPublished: 2025-05-26
In quantum logic spectroscopy, internal transitions of trapped ions and molecules can be probed by measuring the motional displacement caused by an applied light field of variable frequency. This provides a solution to ``needle in a haystack'' problems, such as the search for narrow clock transitions in highly charged ions, recently discussed by S. Chen et al. (Phys. Rev. Applied 22, 054059). The ...

Suppressing crosstalk for Rydberg quantum gates

Gina Warttmann, Florian Meinert, Hans Peter Büchler, Sebastian WeberPublished: 2025-07-14
We present a method to suppress crosstalk from implementing controlled-Z gates via local addressing in neutral atom quantum computers. In these systems, a fraction of the laser light that is applied locally to implement gates typically leaks to other atoms. We analyze the resulting crosstalk in a setup of two gate atoms and one neighboring third atom. We then perturbatively derive a spin-echo-insp...
