−A recipe for local simulation of strongly-correlated fermionic matter on quantum computers: the 2D Fermi-Hubbard model
Arash Jafarizadeh, Frank Pollmann, Adam Gammon-Smith • Published: 2024-08-26
The simulation of quantum many-body systems, relevant for quantum chemistry
and condensed matter physics, is one of the most promising applications of
near-term quantum computers before fault-tolerance. However, since the vast
majority of quantum computing technologies are built around qubits and discrete
gate-based operations, the translation of the physical problem into this
framework is a cruci...
Achieving Sub-Exponential Speedup in Gate-Based Quantum Computing for Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization
Tseng Ying-Wei, Kao Yu-Ting, Chang Yeong-Jar, Ou Chia-Ho, Chang Wen-Chih • Published: 2025-10-17
Recent quantum-inspired methods based on the Simulated Annealing (SA)
algorithm have shown strong potential for solving combinatorial optimization
problems. However, Grover's algorithm [1] in gate-based quantum computing
offers only a quadratic speedup, which remains impractical for large problem
sizes. This paper proposes a hybrid approach that integrates SA with Grover's
algorithm to achieve sub...

The field of gravitational wave (GW) detection is progressing rapidly, with
several next-generation observatories on the horizon, including LISA. GW data
is challenging to analyze due to highly variable signals shaped by source
properties and the presence of complex noise. These factors emphasize the need
for robust, advanced analysis tools. In this context, we have initiated the
development of a ...

Viviana Centritto, Ama Bandara, Heqi Deng, Masoud Babaie, Evgenii Vinogradov, Sergi Abadal, Eduard Alarcon • Published: 2025-10-15
Scaling quantum computers from a few qubits to large numbers remains one of
the critical challenges in realizing practical quantum advantage. Multi-core
quantum architectures have emerged as a promising solution, enabling
scalability through distributed quantum processing units (QPUs) interconnected
via classical and quantum links. However, the bottleneck of wired connections
persists, as densely ...
Emergent Discrete Time Crystals on Digital Quantum Computers: Boundary-Protected and Ancilla-Induced Disorder Mechanisms of Thermalization Slowdown
Kazuya Shinjo, Kazuhiro Seki, Seiji Yunoki • Published: 2025-10-15
Periodically driven (Floquet) systems typically evolve toward an
infinite-temperature thermal state due to continuous energy absorption. Before
reaching equilibrium, however, they can transiently exhibit long-lived
prethermal states that host exotic nonequilibrium phenomena, such as discrete
time crystals (DTCs). In this study, we investigate the relaxation dynamics of
periodically driven product ...
State-Specific Orbital Optimization for Enhanced Excited-States Calculation on Quantum Computers
Guorui Zhu, Joel Bierman, Jianfeng Lu, Yingzhou Li • Published: 2025-10-15
We propose a state-specific orbital optimization scheme for improving the
accuracy of excited states of the electronic structure Hamiltonian for the use
on near-term quantum computers, which can be combined with any overlap-based
excited-state quantum eigensolver. We derived the gradient of the overlap term
between different states generated by different orbitals with respect to the
orbital rotati...
Lattice surgery with Bell measurements: Modular fault-tolerant quantum computation at low entanglement cost
Trond Hjerpekjøn Haug, Timo Hillmann, Anton Frisk Kockum, Raphaël Van Laer • Published: 2025-10-15
Modular architectures are a promising approach to scaling quantum computers
to fault tolerance. Small, low-noise quantum processors connected through
relatively noisy quantum links are capable of fault-tolerant operation as long
as the noise can be confined to the interface. Finding protocols that implement
the quantum links between modules as efficiently as possible is essential
because inter-mod...
Performance Comparison of Gate-Based and Adiabatic Quantum Computing for Power Flow Analysis
Zeynab Kaseb, Matthias Moller, Peter Palensky, Pedro P. Vergara • Published: 2025-10-15
In this paper, we present the first direct comparison between gate-based
quantum computing (GQC) and adiabatic quantum computing (AQC) for solving the
AC power flow (PF) equations. Building on the Adiabatic Quantum Power Flow
(AQPF) algorithm originally designed for annealing platforms, we adapt it to
the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). The PF equations are
reformulated as a com...
A low-circuit-depth quantum computing approach to the nuclear shell model
Chandan Sarma, Paul Stevenson • Published: 2025-10-02
In this work, we introduce a new qubit mapping strategy for the Variational
Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) applied to nuclear shell model calculations, where
each Slater determinant (SD) is mapped to a qubit, rather than assigning qubits
to individual single-particle states. While this approach may increase the
total number of qubits required in some cases, it enables the construction of
simpler quantu...

Tan Le, Van Le, Sachin Shetty • Published: 2025-10-15
Indoor robotic systems within Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are increasingly
exposed to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that compromise localization,
control and telemetry integrity. We propose a privacy-aware malware detection
framework for indoor robotic systems, which leverages hybrid quantum computing
and deep neural networks to counter DoS threats in CPS, while preserving
privacy information. ...

The adoption of FPGAs in cloud-native environments is facing impediments due
to FPGA limitations and CPU-oriented design of orchestrators, as they lack
virtualization, isolation, and preemption support for FPGAs. Consequently,
cloud providers offer no orchestration services for FPGAs, leading to low
scalability, flexibility, and resiliency.
This paper presents Funky, a full-stack FPGA-aware orch...

Marco Canteri, James Bate, Ida Mishra, Nicolai Friis, Victor Krutyanskiy, Benjamin P. Lanyon • Published: 2025-10-17
The ability to establish entanglement between the nodes of future quantum
networks is essential for enabling a wide range of new applications in science
and technology. A promising approach involves the use of a powerful central
node capable of deterministically preparing arbitrary multipartite entangled
states of its matter-based qubits and efficiently distributing these states to
surrounding end...
Traces Propagation: Memory-Efficient and Scalable Forward-Only Learning in Spiking Neural Networks
Lorenzo Pes, Bojian Yin, Sander Stuijk, Federico Corradi • Published: 2025-09-16
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) provide an efficient framework for processing
dynamic spatio-temporal signals and for investigating the learning principles
underlying biological neural systems. A key challenge in training SNNs is to
solve both spatial and temporal credit assignment. The dominant approach for
training SNNs is Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT) with surrogate gradients.
However, BPT...

Dāvis Kažemaks, Laurens Versluis, Burcu Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Jérémie Decouchant • Published: 2025-10-17
Apache Spark is a widely adopted framework for large-scale data processing.
However, in industrial analytics environments, Spark's built-in schedulers,
such as FIFO and fair scheduling, struggle to maintain both user-level fairness
and low mean response time, particularly in long-running shared applications.
Existing solutions typically focus on job-level fairness which unintentionally
favors user...

Electrons floating on a solid neon exhibit long charge coherence times,
making them attractive for hybrid quantum systems. When combined with
high-quality, high-impedance superconducting resonators and a local magnetic

Ashwini Kannan, Jaya Vasavi Pamidimukkala, Avinash Dakshinamoorthy, Soham Bopardikar, Kalyan Dasgupta, Sanjib Senapati • Published: 2025-10-17
Protein folding is one of the age-old biological problems that refers to the
mechanism of understanding and predicting how a protein's linear sequence of
amino acids folds into its specific three dimensional structure.This structure
is critical, as a protein's functionality is inherently linked to its final
folded form. Misfolding can lead to severe diseases such as Alzheimer's and
cystic fibrosis...
Fundamental Limits to Cat-Code Qubits from Chaos-Assisted Tunneling
Lionel E. Martínez, Ignacio García-Mata, Diego A. Wisniacki • Published: 2025-10-16
We show that chaos-assisted tunneling (CAT) imposes an intrinsic limit to the
protection of Kerr-cat qubits. In the static effective description, tunneling
between the quasi-degenerate cat states can be exponentially suppressed,
ensuring long lifetimes. However, our Floquet analysis reveals that when the
nonlinearities increase, chaotic states mediate tunneling between the cat
states, producing la...
