Correction of chain losses in trapped ion quantum computers

Nolan J. Coble, Min Ye, Nicolas DelfossePublished: 2025-11-20
Neutral atom quantum computers and to a lesser extent trapped ions may suffer from atom loss. In this work, we investigate the impact of atom loss in long chains of trapped ions. Even though this is a relatively rare event, ion loss in long chains must be addressed because it destabilizes the entire chain resulting in the loss of all the qubits of the chain. We propose a solution to the chain loss...

Medusa: Detecting and Removing Failures for Scalable Quantum Computing

Karoliina Oksanen, Quan Hoang, Alexandru PalerPublished: 2025-11-20
Quantum circuits will experience failures that lead to computational errors. We introduce Medusa, an automated compilation method for lowering a circuit's failure rate. Medusa uses flags to predict the absence of high-weight errors. Our method can numerically upper bound the failure rate of a circuit in the presence of flags, and fine tune the fault-tolerance of the flags in order to reach this bo...

Jingcheng Dai, Atharva Vidwans, Eric H. Wan, Alexander X. Miller, Micheline B. SoleyPublished: 2025-11-20
Recent advancements in quantum algorithms have reached a state where we can consider how to capitalize on quantum and classical computational resources to accelerate molecular resonance state identification. Here we identify molecular resonances with a method that combines quantum computing with classical high-throughput computing (HTC). This algorithm, which we term qDRIVE (the quantum deflation ...

On the Potential of Microtubules for Scalable Quantum Computation

Nick E. Mavromatos, Andreas Mershin, Dimitri V. NanopoulosPublished: 2025-05-26
We examine the quantum coherence properties of tubulin heterodimers arranged into the protofilaments of cytoskeletal microtubules. In the physical model proposed by the authors, the microtubule interiors are treated as high-Q quantum electrodynamics (QED) cavities that can support decoherence-resistant entangled states under physiological conditions, with decoherence times of the order of $\mathca...

How "Quantum" is your Quantum Computer? Macrorealism-based Benchmarking via Mid-Circuit Parity Measurements

Ben Zindorf, Lorenzo Braccini, Debarshi Das, Sougato BosePublished: 2025-11-19
To perform meaningful computations, Quantum Computers (QCs) must scale to macroscopic levels - i.e., to a large number of qubits - an objective pursued by most quantum companies. How to efficiently test their quantumness at these scales? We show that the violation of Macrorealism (MR), being the fact that classical systems possess definite properties that can be measured without disturbances, prov...

Achieving Utility-Scale Applications through Full Stack Co-Design of Fault Tolerant Quantum Computers

Katerina Gratsea, Matthew OttenPublished: 2025-10-30
Quantum computing promises revolutionary advances in modeling materials and molecules. However, the up-to-date runtime estimates for utility-scale applications on certain quantum hardware systems are in the order of years rendering quantum computations impractical. Our work incorporates state-of-the-art innovations in all key aspects of the fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) stack to show how...

We present and open source a quantum circuit simulator tailored to chemistry applications. More specifically, our simulator can compute the Born-rule probabilities of samples obtained from circuits containing passive fermionic linear optical elements and controlled-phase gates. We support both approximate and exact calculation of probabilities, and for approximate probability calculation, our simu...

Jet evolution in a quantum computer: quark and gluon dynamics

Nuno Filipe Castro, José Guilherme Milhano, Maria Gabriela Jordão OliveiraPublished: 2025-02-05
The intrinsic quantum nature of jets and the Quark-Gluon Plasma makes the study of jet quenching a promising candidate to benefit from quantum computing power. Standing as a precursor of the full study of this phenomenon, we study the propagation of SU(3) partons in Quark-Gluon Plasma using quantum simulation algorithms. The algorithms are developed in detail, and the propagation of both quarks an...

All You Need is pi: Quantum Computing with Hermitian Gates

Ben Zindorf, Sougato BosePublished: 2024-02-19
Universal gate sets for quantum computation, when single and two qubit operations are accessible, include both Hermitian and non-Hermitian gates. Here we {utilize the fact} that any single-qubit operator may be implemented as two Hermitian gates, and thus a purely Hermitian universal set is possible. This implementation can be used to prepare high fidelity single-qubit states in the presence of am...

Ultralight dark matter candidates, such as axions and dark photons, are leading dark matter candidates. They may couple feebly to photons, sourcing oscillating electromagnetic signals in the presence of magnetic field. The Earth resonant cavity formed between the ground and the ionosphere provides a natural waveguide that can amplify such signals. We carry out a project aiming to search for new ph...

Sample-Based Krylov Quantum Diagonalization for the Schwinger Model on Trapped-Ion and Superconducting Quantum Processors

Emil Otis Rosanowski, Jurek Eisinger, Lena Funcke, Ulrich Poschinger, Ferdinand Schmidt-KalerPublished: 2025-10-30
We apply the recently proposed Sample-based Krylov Quantum Diagonalization (SKQD) method to lattice gauge theories, using the Schwinger model with a $θ$-term as a benchmark. SKQD approximates the ground state of a Hamiltonian, employing a hybrid quantum-classical approach: (i) constructing a Krylov space from bitstrings sampled from time-evolved quantum states, and (ii) classically diagonalizing t...

Efficient and Accurate Spatial Mixing of Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials for Materials Science

Fraser Birks, Matthew Nutter, Thomas D Swinburne, James R KermodePublished: 2025-02-26
Machine-learned interatomic potentials can offer near first-principles accuracy but are computationally expensive, limiting their application to large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. Inspired by quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics methods we present ML-MIX, a CPU- and GPU-compatible LAMMPS package to accelerate simulations by spatially mixing interatomic potentials of different complexitie...

Tripartite Entanglement Generation in Atom-Coupled Dual Microresonators System

Abhishek Mandal, Joy Ghosh, Maruthi Manoj Brundavanam, Shailendra K VarshneyPublished: 2025-11-20
In this work, we investigate the emergence and control of genuine tripartite entanglement in a hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamics architecture consisting of two linearly coupled single mode resonators, one of which interacts coherently with a two level atom. An analytical framework is developed in a weak driving regime, where the system dynamically supports a delocalized hybrid excitation share...

Xiaosong Ren, Zhanping Jin, Xiaotong Zou, Xiaole Zhang, Xue Feng, Fang Liu, Kaiyu Cui, Yidong Huang, Wei ZhangPublished: 2025-11-20
The development of quantum internet demands on-chip quantum processor nodes and interconnection between the nodes. Path-encoded photonic qubits are suitable for on-chip quantum information processors, while time-bin encoded ones are good at long-distance communication. It is necessary to develop an on-chip converter between the two encodings to satisfy the needs of the quantum internet. In this wo...

Otto Savola, Alexandru PalerPublished: 2025-11-20
Neutral-atom quantum computers encode qubits in individually trapped atoms arranged in optical lattices. Achieving defect-free atom configurations is essential for high-fidelity quantum gates and scalable error correction, yet stochastic loading and atom loss during rearrangement hinder reliable large-scale assembly. This work presents ATLAS, an open-source atom transport algorithm that efficientl...

We analyse the formation of troughs in the continuous spectra of sources in redshift range $5-15$ for two reionization histories followed from the distant galaxy spectra and CMB anisotropy.
