Universal quantum computation with group surface codes

Naren Manjunath, Vieri Mattei, Apoorv Tiwari, Tyler D. EllisonPublished: 2026-03-05
We introduce group surface codes, which are a natural generalization of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ surface code, and equivalent to quantum double models of finite groups with specific boundary conditions. We show that group surface codes can be leveraged to perform non-Clifford gates in $\mathbb{Z}_2$ surface codes, thus enabling universal computation with well-established means of performing logical Clif...

Heuristics for Shuttling Sequence Optimization for a Linear Segmented Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

J. Durandau, C. A. Brunet, F. Schmidt-Kaler, U. Poschinger, F. Mailhot, Y. Bérubé-LauzièrePublished: 2026-03-05
An algorithm for the generation of shuttling sequences is necessary for the operation of a linear segmented ion-trap quantum computer. The present work provides an implementation of an algorithm that produces sequences proved to be optimal for circuits with a quantum Fourier transform-like structure. Such optimality was proved in previous work of our group. We first present an approach for qubit m...

Computing Green's functions and improving ground state energy estimation on quantum computers with Liouvillian recursion

Jérôme Leblanc, Olivier Nahman-Lévesque, Julien Forget, Thomas Lepage-Lévesque, Simon Verret, Alexandre FoleyPublished: 2026-03-05
We present a quantum-classical hybrid implementation of the Liouvillian recursion method to compute many-body Green's functions using a quantum computer. From an approximate ground state preparation circuit, this algorithm produces the local ($r=r'$) and inter-site ($r\neq r'$) Green's functions $G_{rr'}(ω)$ by measuring observables generated recursively. We demonstrate the approach on a supercond...

Fault-Resilience of Dissipative Processes for Quantum Computing

James Purcell, Abhishek Rajput, Toby CubittPublished: 2025-02-27
Dissipative processes have long been proposed as a means of performing computational tasks on quantum computers that may be intrinsically more robust to noise. In this work, we prove two main results concerning the error-resilience capabilities of two types of dissipative algorithms: dissipative ground state preparation in the form of the dissipative quantum eigensolver (DQE), and dissipative quan...

Can a Quantum Computer Simulate Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra Better than a Classical One?

Keith R. Fratus, Nicklas Enenkel, Sebastian Zanker, Jan-Michael Reiner, Michael Marthaler, Peter SchmitteckertPublished: 2025-08-08
The simulation of the spectra measured in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy experiments is a computationally non-trivial problem which, due to its natural interpretation as a quantum spin problem, maps in a straightforward way to a quantum computer. As such, it represents a problem for which such a device may provide some practical advantage over traditional computing methods. In order...

Macromux: scalable postselection for high-threshold fault-tolerant quantum computation

Patrick Birchall, Jacob Bridgeman, Christopher Dawson, Terry Farrelly, Yehua Liu, Naomi Nickerson, Mihir Pant, Sam Roberts, Karthik Seetharam, David TuckettPublished: 2026-03-05
We introduce a new resource-efficient scheme for fault-tolerant quantum computation known as `macroscale multiplexing' (or simply `Macromux'), that utilizes scalable postselection to significantly improve the threshold of a given fault-tolerant protocol against both Pauli and erasure errors. Macromux is a hierarchical method for postselecting on constant-size space-time windows of a fault tolerant...

Physics and computation: An insight from non-Hermitian quantum computing

Qi Zhang, Biao WuPublished: 2025-06-22
We elucidate the profound connection between physics and computation by proposing and examining the model of the non-Hermitian quantum computer (NQC). In addition to conventional quantum gates such as the Hadamard, phase, and CNOT gates, this model incorporates a non-unitary quantum gate $G$. We show that NQC is extraordinarily powerful, capable of solving not only all NP problems but also all pro...

Hybrid continuous-variable (CV)-discrete-variable (DV) quantum systems present a promising direction for quantum computing by combining the high dimensional encoding capabilities of qumodes with the control offered by DV qubits on the coupled qumodes. There have been exciting recent progresses on hybrid CV-DV quantum computing, including variational algorithms, error correction, compiler-level opt...

Benchmarking Quantum Computers via Protocols, Comparing IBM's Heron vs IBM's Eagle

Nitay Mayo, Tal Mor, Yossi WeinsteinPublished: 2026-03-04
As quantum computing hardware rapidly advances, objectively evaluating the capabilities and error rates of new processors remains a critical challenge for the field. A clear and realistic understanding of current quantum performance is essential to guide research priorities and drive meaningful progress.

Efficient Time-Aware Partitioning of Quantum Circuits for Distributed Quantum Computing

Raymond P. H. Wu, Chathu Ranaweera, Sutharshan Rajasegarar, Ria Rushin Joseph, Jinho Choi, Seng W. LokePublished: 2026-03-04
To overcome the physical limitations of scaling monolithic quantum computers, distributed quantum computing (DQC) interconnects multiple smaller-scale quantum processing units (QPUs) to form a quantum network. However, this approach introduces a critical challenge, namely the high cost of quantum communication between remote QPUs incurred by quantum state teleportation and quantum gate teleportati...

Valley physics in the two bands $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ model for SiGe heterostructures and spin qubits

Tancredi Salamone, Biel Martinez Diaz, Jing Li, Lukas Cvitkovich, Yann-Michel NiquetPublished: 2025-11-25
We discuss the choice and implementation of inter-valley potentials in the so-called two bands $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ model for the opposite $X$, $Y$ or $Z$ valleys of silicon. We focus on the description of valley splittings in Si/SiGe heterostructures for spin qubits, with a particular attention to alloy disorder. We demonstrate that the two bands $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ model reproduce...

Transpiling quantum circuits by a transformers-based algorithm

Michele Banfi, Paolo Zentilini, Sebastiano Corli, Enrico PratiPublished: 2025-12-10
Transformers have gained popularity in machine learning due to their application in the field of natural language processing. They manipulate and process text efficiently, capturing long-range dependencies among data and performing the next word prediction. On the other hand, gate-based quantum computing is based on controlling the register of qubits in the quantum hardware by applying a sequence ...

Constant-Depth Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution Using Dynamic Fan-out Circuits

Albert Lund, Erika Magnusson, Werner Dobrautz, Laura García-ÁlvarezPublished: 2026-03-05
Dynamic quantum circuits combine mid-circuit measurement with classical feed-forward, enabling circuit constructions with reduced entangling-gate depth. Here, we investigate their use in Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution (QITE), where circuit depth and parameter growth limit practical implementations of ground-state preparation. For dense classical optimization Hamiltonians, we introduce a reduced-...

TerraCodec: Compressing Optical Earth Observation Data

Julen Costa-Watanabe, Isabelle Wittmann, Benedikt Blumenstiel, Konrad SchindlerPublished: 2025-10-14
Earth observation (EO) satellites produce massive streams of multispectral image time series, posing pressing challenges for storage and transmission. Yet, learned EO compression remains fragmented and lacks publicly available, large-scale pretrained codecs. Moreover, prior work has largely focused on image compression, leaving temporal redundancy and EO video codecs underexplored. To address thes...

The dataset includes two types of legal documents: 1,065 Acts dated from 1981 to 2014 and 141 Bills from 2010 to 2014, which were systematically collected from official sources. The texts were extracted using OCR with Google Document AI, followed by extensive post-processi...

The Semantic Arrow of Time, Part III: RDMA and the Completion Fallacy

Paul BorrillPublished: 2026-03-05
This is the third of five papers comprising The Semantic Arrow of Time. Parts I and II identified computing's hidden semantic arrow of time, the FITO category mistake, and presented the constructive alternative: the OAE link state machine with its mandatory reflecting phase. This paper examines what happens when those principles are violated at industrial scale. Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA...
