A minimal implementation of Yang-Mills theory on a digital quantum computer

Georg Bergner, Masanori Hanada, Emanuele MendicelliPublished: 2026-04-16
We present a minimal implementation of SU($N$) pure Yang-Mills theory in $3+1$ dimensions for digital quantum simulation, designed to enable quantum advantage. Building on the orbifold lattice simulation protocol with logarithmic scaling in the local Hilbert-space truncation, we introduce further simplified Hamiltonians. Furthermore, we test simple methods that improve the convergence to the infin...

Holonomic quantum computation: a scalable adiabatic architecture

Clara Wassner, Tommaso Guaita, Jens Eisert, Jose CarrascoPublished: 2025-02-24
Holonomic quantum computation exploits the geometric evolution of eigenspaces of a degenerate Hamiltonian to implement unitary evolution of computational states. In this work we introduce a framework for performing scalable quantum computation in atom experiments through a universal set of fully holonomic adiabatic gates. Through a detailed differential geometric analysis, we elucidate the geometr...

Entanglement-assisted circuit knitting: Distributed quantum computing using limited entanglement resources

Shao-Hua Hu, Po-Sung Liu, Jun-Yi WuPublished: 2025-10-30
Distributed quantum computing (DQC) provides a promising route toward scalable quantum computation, where entanglement-assisted LOCC and circuit knitting represent two complementary approaches. The former deterministically realizes nonlocal operations but demands extensive entanglement resources, whereas the latter requires no entanglement yet suffers from exponential sampling overhead. Here, we p...

Simulating the dynamics of an SU(2) matrix model on a trapped-ion quantum computer

Gavin S. Hartnett, Haoran Liao, Enrico RinaldiPublished: 2026-04-15
Matrix models are an important class of systems in string theory and theoretical physics, with applications to random matrix theory, quantum chaos, and black holes. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo simulations and gauge/gravity duality have been used to study these systems at thermal equilibrium, and the bootstrap program has been used to efficiently determine operator expectation values by imposing positi...

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-...

dqc_simulator: an easy-to-use distributed quantum computing simulator

Kenny CampbellPublished: 2026-04-15
Distributed quantum computing (DQC) is a promising proposal for overcoming the scalability challenges of quantum computing. However, the evaluation of DQC hardware and software is difficult due to the relative dearth of classical simulation tools available for DQC devices. In this work, we introduce dqc_simulator, a novel simulation toolkit, written in Python, which automates many of the most chal...

Plugging Leaks in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation and Verification

Theodoros Kapourniotis, Dominik Leichtle, Luka Music, Harold OllivierPublished: 2025-10-03
With the advent of quantum cloud computing, the security of delegated quantum computation has become of utmost importance. While multiple statistically secure blind verification schemes in the prepare-and-send model have been proposed, none of them achieves full quantum fault-tolerance, a prerequisite for useful verification on scalable quantum computers. In this paper, we present the first fault-...

Quantum computing for effective nuclear lattice model

Zhushuo Liu, Jia-ai Shi, Bing-Nan Lu, Xiaosi XuPublished: 2026-04-15
Nuclear lattice effective field theory has become an important framework for quantum many-body calculations in nuclear physics, yet its classical implementation remains increasingly challenging for more general interactions and larger systems. In this work, we develop a quantum-computing framework for a three-dimensional nuclear lattice model. We construct a variational quantum eigensolver framewo...

Spectral methods: crucial for machine learning, natural for quantum computers?

Vasilis Belis, Joseph Bowles, Rishabh Gupta, Evan Peters, Maria SchuldPublished: 2026-03-25
This article presents an argument for why quantum computers could unlock new methods for machine learning. We argue that spectral methods, in particular those that learn, regularise, or otherwise manipulate the Fourier spectrum of a machine learning model, are often natural for quantum computers. For example, if a generative machine learning model is represented by a quantum state, the Quantum Fou...

Quantum computational displacement sensing

Sridhar Prabhu, Saeed A. Khan, Xingrui Song, Mathieu Ouellet, Ryotatsu Yanagimoto, Saswata Roy, Alen Senanian, Logan G. Wright, Valla Fatemi, Peter L. McMahonPublished: 2026-04-14
Quantum computational sensing (QCS) combines quantum sensing with quantum computing to extract task-relevant information from the physical world. QCS can in principle achieve an accuracy advantage for specific tasks versus the alternative of raw-signal estimation using conventional quantum sensing followed by task-specific classical postprocessing. Here we report the experimental demonstration of ...

Super-Constant Weight Dicke States in Constant Depth Without Fanout

Lucas Gretta, Meghal Gupta, Malvika Raj JoshiPublished: 2026-04-16
An $n$-qubit Dicke state of weight $k$, is the uniform superposition over all $n$-bit strings of Hamming weight $k$. Dicke states are an entanglement resource with important practical applications in the NISQ era and, for instance, play a central role in Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI). Furthermore, any symmetric state can be expressed as a superposition of Dicke states. First, we give expl...

Wave-Based Dispatch for Circuit Cutting in Hybrid HPC--Quantum Systems

Ricard S. García-Raigada, Josep Jorba, Sergio IsertePublished: 2026-04-16
Hybrid High-performance Computing (HPC)-quantum workloads based on circuit cutting decompose large quantum circuits into independent fragments, but existing frameworks tightly couple cutting logic to execution orchestration, preventing HPC centers from applying mature resource management policies to Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) workloads. We present DQR (Dynamic Queue Router), a runtime...

Optimal spin-qubit hallmarks of sulfur-vacancy defects in 4H-SiC: Design from first principles

Marisol Alcántara Ortigoza, Sergey StolbovPublished: 2026-04-16
By applying our methodology, we propose a defect in 4H-SiC which combines a Si vacancy and a C atom substituted with S (VSiSC) to have a spin-triplet ground state with the spin qubit functionality. Our calculations confirm that all configurations of the defect have a dynamically and thermodynamically stable triplet ground state and higher energy singlet states, essential for the spin-qubit polariz...

CAVERS: Multimodal SLAM Data from a Natural Karstic Cave with Ground Truth Motion Capture

Giacomo Franchini, David Rodríguez-Martínez, Alfonso Martínez-Petersen, C. J. Pérez-del-Pulgar, Marcello ChiabergePublished: 2026-04-16
Autonomous robots operating in natural karstic caves face perception and navigation challenges that are qualitatively distinct from those encountered in mines or tunnels: irregular geometry, reflective wet surfaces, near-zero ambient light, and complex branching passages. Yet publicly available datasets targeting this environment remain scarce and offer limited sensing modalities and environmental...

Hardware Validation of DAGI via a Modular "Ridge" Signature and High-Order Synergistic Information

Petr SramekPublished: 2026-04-16
We report a hardware validation of the DAGI (Directed Acyclic Graph Information) framework on IBM Quantum hardware using a small, controlled experiment whose ideal output distribution is constrained to a low-dimensional modular manifold (a "ridge"). For two $n$-bit registers $(u,v)$ with $n=4$ (modulus 16), each key instance $k$ induces an ideal relation $v \equiv k \cdot u \pmod{16}$, producing a...

Generation of Quantum Entanglement in Autonomous Thermal Machines: Effects of Non-Markovianity, Hilbert Space Structure, and Quantum Coherence

Achraf Khoudiri, Khadija El Anouz, Abderrahim El AllatiPublished: 2025-08-25
We present a theoretical investigation of entanglement generation in an external quantum system via interaction with a quantum autonomous thermal machine (QATM) under non-Markovian dynamics. The QATM, composed of two qubits each coupled to independent thermal reservoirs, interacts with an external system of two additional qubits. By analyzing the Hilbert space structure, energy level configuration...

A NISQ-friendly Coined Quantum Walk Algorithm for Chaos-based Cryptographic Applications

Natalie Gibson, Niklas Keckman, Andrea Marchesin, Matti Raasakka, Ilkka TittonenPublished: 2026-04-16
We present a novel lackadaisical alternating quantum walk (LAQW) algorithm whose circuit depth scales as $\mathcal{O}(n^2+nt)$ for a $n\times n$ lattice over $t$ time steps. We show that this is a significant depth reduction compared to the existing controlled alternating quantum walk (CAQW) model, which has a circuit depth that scales as $\mathcal{O}(n^2t)$ (Li et al., 2017, arXiv:1707.07389). Th...

Megan Cerys Rowe, Carlo A. Gaggioli, Ludmila Szulakowska, David Muñoz Ramo, David Zsolt ManriquePublished: 2026-04-16
We present a hardware demonstration and resource analysis of split-evolution quantum phase estimation (SE-QPE) on a Quantinuum System Model H2 quantum computer. SE-QPE is a modification to canonical QPE for particle-conserving Hamiltonians in which controlled time evolution is replaced by CSWAP-based interference between a target register and a reference register. For factorizations of time evolut...
