Universal Weakly Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation via Code Switching in the [[8,3,2]] Code

Shixin Wu, Dawei Zhong, Todd A. Brun, Daniel A. LidarPublished: 2026-03-16
Code-switching offers a route to universal, fault-tolerant quantum computation by circumventing the limitation implied by the Eastin-Knill theorem against a universal transversal gate set within a single quantum code. Here, we present a fault-tolerant code-switching protocol between two versions of the $[[8, 3, 2]]$ code. One version supports weakly fault-tolerant single-qubit Clifford gates, whil...

Velocity-Enabled Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms

Ohad Lib, Hendrik Timme, Maximilian Ammenwerth, Flavien Gyger, Renhao Tao, Shijia Sun, Immanuel Bloch, Johannes ZeiherPublished: 2026-03-16
Realizing error-corrected logical qubits is a central goal for the current development of digital quantum computers. Neutral atoms offer the opportunity to coherently shuttle atoms for realizing efficient quantum error correction based on long-range connectivity and parallel atom transport. Nevertheless, time overheads in shuttling atoms and complex control hardware pose challenges to scaling curr...

Analog-Digital Quantum Computing with Quantum Annealing Processors

Rahul Deshpande, Majid Kheirkhah, Chris Rich, Richard Harris, Jack Raymond, Emile Hoskinson, Pratik Sathe, Andrew J. Berkley, Stefan Paul, Brian Barch, Daniel A. Lidar, Markus Müller, Gabriel Aeppli, Andrew D. King, Mohammad H. AminPublished: 2026-03-16
Quantum annealing processors typically control qubits in unison, attenuating quantum fluctuations uniformly until the applied system Hamiltonian is diagonal in the computational basis. This simplifies control requirements, allowing annealing QPUs to scale to much larger sizes than gate-based systems, but constraining the class of available operations. Here we expand the class by performing analog-...

A complete architecture for cavity-free quantum networking based on collective enhancement in Rydberg atom ensembles is presented. The protocol exploits Rydberg blockade and phase-matched directional emission to eliminate optical cavities without sacrificing performance. The architecture comprises three steps: (i) local control-ensemble entanglement via Rydberg blockade with fidelity $F_{\mathrm{g...

Adaptive Control of Stochastic Error Accumulation in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

Tirtha HaquePublished: 2026-03-16
In realistic hardware for quantum computation that possesses fault-tolerance, non-stationary noise and stochastic drift lead to logical failure from the temporal accumulation of errors, not from independent events. Static decoding and fixed calibration techniques are structurally incompatible with this situation because they do not take into account temporal correlations between errors or control-...

Neutron-nucleus dynamics simulations for quantum computers

Soorya Rethinasamy, Ethan Guo, Alexander Wei, Mark M. Wilde, Kristina D. LauneyPublished: 2024-02-22
With a view toward addressing the explosive growth in the computational demands of nuclear structure and reactions modeling, we develop a novel quantum algorithm for neutron-nucleus simulations with general potentials, which provides acceptable bound-state energies even in the presence of noise, through the noise-resilient training method. In particular, the algorithm can now solve for any band-di...

Quantum computing of nonlinear reacting flows via the probability density function method

Jizhi Zhang, Ziang Yang, Zhaoyuan Meng, Zhen Lu, Yue YangPublished: 2025-12-08
Quantum computing offers the promise of speedups for scientific computations, but its application to reacting flows is hindered by nonlinear source terms, the challenges of time-dependent simulations, and the difficulty of extracting meaningful physical quantities from quantum states. We employ a probability density function (PDF) formulation to transform the nonlinear reacting-flow governing equa...

Weyl's Relations, Integrable Matrix Models and Quantum Computation

B. Sriram Shastry, Emil A. Yuzbashyan, Aniket PatraPublished: 2025-06-20
Starting from a generalization of Weyl's relations in finite dimension $N$, we show that the Heisenberg commutation relations can be satisfied in a specific $N-1$ dimensional subspace, and display a linear map for projecting operators to this subspace. This setup is used to construct a hierarchy of parameter-dependent commuting matrices in $N$ dimensions. This family of commuting matrices is then ...

Solving large-scale sparse linear systems is a challenging computational task due to the introduction of non-zero elements, or "fill-in." The Graph Partitioning Problem (GPP) arises naturally when minimizing fill-in and accelerating solvers.

Quantum walks, the quantum analogue of the classical random walk, have been shown to underpin quantum algorithms for fluid dynamics. We propose the quantum half-adder gate method for quantum walks as a good benchmark algorithm, specifically to compare native two-qubit gate and native multiqubit gate implementations. Neutral atom hardware is a promising choice of platform for implementing quantum w...
