As quantum computing progresses, the need for scalable solutions to address large-scale computational problems has become critical. Quantum supercomputers are the next upcoming frontier by enabling multiple quantum processors to collaborate effectively to solve large-scale computational problems. The emergence of quantum supercomputers necessitates an efficient interface to manage the quantum comm...

Enhancing Chemistry on Quantum Computers with Fermionic Linear Optical Simulation

Zack Hassman, Oliver Reardon-Smith, Gokul Subramanian Ravi, Frederic T. Chong, Kevin J. SungPublished: 2025-11-16
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...

Radial Fast Entangling Gates Under Micromotion in Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers

Phoebe Grosser, Monica Gutierrez Galan, Isabelle Savill-Brown, Alexander K. Ratcliffe, Haonan Liu, Varun D. Vaidya, Simon A. Haine, C. Ricardo Viteri, Joseph J. Hope, Zain MehdiPublished: 2025-11-19
Micromotion in radio-frequency ion traps is generally considered detrimental for quantum logic gates, and is typically minimized in state-of-the-art experiments. However, as a deterministic effect, it can be incorporated into quantum control frameworks aimed at designing high-fidelity quantum logic controls. In this work, we demonstrate that micromotion can be beneficial to the design of fast gate...

Measurement-Based Quantum Computation Using the Spin-1 XXZ Model with Uniaxial Anisotropy

Hiroki Ohta, Aaron Merlin Müller, Shunji TsuchiyaPublished: 2025-11-15
We demonstrate that the ground state of a spin-1 XXZ chain with uniaxial anisotropies, single-ion anisotropy $D$ and Ising-like anisotropy $J$, within the Haldane phase can serve as a resource state for measurement-based quantum computation implementing single-qubit gates. The gate fidelity of both elementary rotation gates and general single-qubit unitary gates composed of rotations about the $x$...

We propose a digital-controlled conveyor-belt shuttling method for silicon-based quantum processors, addressing the scalability challenges of conventional analog sinusoidal implementations. By placing a switch matrix and low-pass filters in a cryogenic environment, our approach synthesizes near-sinusoidal waveforms from a limited number of DC voltage levels. Simulation results demonstrate that the...

Quantum computing has traditionally centered around the discrete variable paradigm. A new direction is the inclusion of continuous variable modes and the consideration of a hybrid continuous-discrete approach to quantum computing. In this paper, we discuss some of the advantages of this modality, and lay out a number of potential applications that can make use of it; these include applications fro...

Optimizing two-dimensional isometric tensor networks with quantum computers

Sebastian Leontica, Alberto Baiardi, Julian Schuhmacher, Francesco Tacchino, Ivano TavernelliPublished: 2025-11-17
We propose a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for approximating the ground state of two-dimensional quantum systems using an isometric tensor network ansatz, which maps naturally to quantum circuits. Inspired by the density matrix renormalization group, we optimize tensors sequentially by diagonalizing a series of effective Hamiltonians. These are constructed using a tomography-inspired method o...

Albert Rico, Dmitry Grinko, Robin Krebs, Lin Htoo ZawPublished: 2025-11-17
We present a method to detect entanglement partitions of multipartite quantum systems, by exploiting their inherent symmetries. Structures like genuinely multipartite entanglement, $m$-separability and entanglement depth are detected as very special cases. This formulation enables us to characterize all the entanglement partitions of all three- and four- partite states and witnesses with unitary a...

Marco Ballarin, Juan José García-Ripoll, David Hayes, Michael LubaschPublished: 2025-11-19
For the preparation of high-dimensional functions on quantum computers, we introduce tensor network algorithms that are efficient with regard to dimensionality, optimize circuits composed of hardware-native gates and take gate errors into account during the optimization. To avoid the notorious barren plateau problem of vanishing gradients in the circuit optimization, we smoothly transform the circ...

Statistical Structure of Charge Disorder in Si/SiGe Quantum Dots

Saeed Samadi, Łukasz Cywiński, Jan A. KrzywdaPublished: 2025-10-15
Properties of quantum dot based spin qubits have significant inter-device variability due to unavoidable presence of various types of disorder in semiconductor nanostructures. A significant source of this variability is charge disorder at the semiconductor-oxide interface, which causes unpredictable, yet, as we show here, correlated fluctuations in such essential properties of quantum dots like th...

An extensive analysis of the spectrum of neutral manganese has been performed using spectra of manganese-neon and manganese-argon hollow cathode discharges measured using high resolution Fourier transform (FT) and grating spectroscopy over the range 151 - 5112 nm (1956 - 65876 cm-1). Wavelengths for 10426 spectral lines were extracted from the FT spectra, with uncertainties at least an order-of-ma...

We apply a first-principles-based atomistic model to investigate the BaTi(1-x)Zr(x)O3 phase diagram, focusing on both macroscopic and local structural changes. Our approach, which combines molecular dynamics with machine learning techniques, accurately captures the influence of Ti and Zr cations on their local environment and its evolution with composition and temperature. The computed phase diagr...

NN-AE-VQE: Neural network parameter prediction on autoencoded variational quantum eigensolvers

Koen Mesman, Yinglu Tang, Matthias Moller, Boyang Chen, Sebastian FeldPublished: 2024-11-23
A longstanding computational challenge is the accurate simulation of many-body particle systems. Especially for deriving key characteristics of high-impact but complex systems such as battery materials and high entropy alloys (HEA). While simple models allow for simulations of the required scale, these methods often fail to capture the complex dynamics that determine the characteristics. A long-th...

MessIRve: A Large-Scale Spanish Information Retrieval Dataset

Francisco Valentini, Viviana Cotik, Damián Furman, Ivan Bercovich, Edgar Altszyler, Juan Manuel PérezPublished: 2024-09-09
Information retrieval (IR) is the task of finding relevant documents in response to a user query. Although Spanish is the second most spoken native language, there are few Spanish IR datasets, which limits the development of information access tools for Spanish speakers. We introduce MessIRve, a large-scale Spanish IR dataset with almost 700,000 queries from Google's autocomplete API and relevant ...

Thermalizing channel states for rapid qubit heating

Ziyang You, Wenhui Huang, Libo Zhang, Song Liu, Youpeng Zhong, Yibo Gao, Hou IanPublished: 2025-11-19
Although known for negatively impacting the operation of superconducting qubits, thermal baths are shown to exert qubit control in a positive way, provided they are properly engineered. We demonstrate an experimental method to engineer the transduction of microwave driving into heat flow through a leaky resonator. Given the precise conversion, a qubit receiving the heat flow obtains a quasi-therma...
