Not only is a large overall Hilbert space an essential requirement for quantum error correction, but a large local Hilbert space can also be advantageous for realizing gates and algorithms more efficiently3–7. As a result, there has been considerable experimental effort in recent years to develop quantum computing platforms using qudits (d-dimensional quantum systems with d > 2) as the fundamental unit of quantum information8–19. Just as with qubits, quantum error correction of these qudits will be necessary in the long run, but so far, error correction of logical qudits has not been demonstrated experimentally. Here we report the experimental realization of an error-corrected logical qutrit (d = 3) and ququart (d = 4), which was achieved with the Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill bosonic code20. Using a reinforcement learning agent21,22, we optimized the Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill qutrit (ququart) as a ternary (quaternary) quantum memory and achieved beyond break-even error correction with a gain of 1.82 ± 0.03 (1.87 ± 0.03). This work represents a novel way of leveraging the large Hilbert space of a harmonic oscillator to realize hardware-efficient quantum error correction. Quantum error correction of a logical qutrit and ququart were experimentally realized beyond the break-even point with the Gottesman–Kitaev–Preskill bosonic code.","author":[{"family":"Brock","given":"BL"},{"family":"Singh","given":"Shraddha"},{"family":"Eickbusch","given":"Alec"},{"family":"Sivak","given":"Volodymyr"},{"family":"Ding","given":"Andy"},{"family":"Frunzio","given":"Luigi"},{"family":"Girvin","given":"SM"},{"family":"Devoret","given":"Michel"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-025-08899-y","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-08899-y","source":"europepmc"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41586-025-08642-7","type":"article-journal","title":"Hardware-efficient quantum error correction via concatenated bosonic qubits.","abstract":"To solve problems of practical importance1,2, quantum computers probably need to incorporate quantum error correction, in which a logical qubit is redundantly encoded in many noisy physical qubits3–5. The large physical-qubit overhead associated with error correction motivates the search for more hardware-efficient approaches6–18. Here, using a superconducting quantum circuit19, we realize a logical qubit memory formed from the concatenation of encoded bosonic cat qubits with an outer repetition code of distance d = 5 (ref. 10). A stabilizing circuit passively protects cat qubits against bit flips20–24. The repetition code, using ancilla transmons for syndrome measurement, corrects cat qubit phase flips. We study the performance and scaling of the logical qubit memory, finding that the phase-flip correcting repetition code operates below the threshold. The logical bit-flip error is suppressed with increasing cat qubit mean photon number, enabled by our realization of a cat-transmon noise-biased CX gate. The minimum measured logical error per cycle is on average 1.75(2)% for the distance-3 code sections, and 1.65(3)% for the distance-5 code. Despite the increased number of fault locations of the distance-5 code, the high degree of noise bias preserved during error correction enables comparable performance. These results, where the intrinsic error suppression of the bosonic encodings enables us to use a hardware-efficient outer error-correcting code, indicate that concatenated bosonic codes can be a compelling model for reaching fault-tolerant quantum computation. Bosonic qubits can be engineered to feature intrinsic protection against certain kinds of errors, which makes quantum error correction across many bosonic qubits possible with less overhead.","author":[{"family":"Putterman","given":"Harald"},{"family":"Noh","given":"Kyungjoo"},{"family":"Hann","given":"Connor"},{"family":"Maccabe","given":"Gregory"},{"family":"Aghaeimeibodi","given":"Shahriar"},{"family":"Patel","given":"Rishi"},{"family":"Lee","given":"Menyoung"},{"family":"Jones","given":"William"},{"family":"Moradinejad","given":"Hesam"},{"family":"Rodríguez","given":"Roberto"},{"family":"Mahuli","given":"Neha"},{"family":"Rose","given":"J"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-025-08642-7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-025-08642-7","source":"europepmc"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41467-025-65836-3","type":"article-journal","title":"Artificial intelligence for quantum computing.","abstract":"Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements over the past few years have had an unprecedented and revolutionary impact across everyday application areas.

This review explores the convergence of quantum computing and it's potential to provide unmet needs in precision biomedicine research, with emphasis on applications in diagnostic modeling, multi-omic data integration and drug discovery. We highlight early proof-of-concept studies demonstrating the use of quantum machine learning for disease prediction, quantum algorithms for protein folding, and quantum generative models for novel drug design.

Emerging directions include digital twin simulations and real-time clinical decision support powered by quantum models. Looking ahead, the long-term vision for quantum computing in biomedicine involves in silico modeling of entire biological systems to simulate cellular responses to perturbations like drug treatments, enabling clinicians to test therapies in virtual patients before real-world application. Despite these advances, practical implementation remains limited by hardware constraints, qubit decoherence, algorithm scalability, and regulatory barriers.

By integrating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with quantum key distribution (QKD) and privacy-preserving mechanisms, data confidentiality and immutability for patient records in a post-quantum era are ensured. Methods: A multi-layered design approach was adopted. The PQC algorithms (e.g. CRYSTALS-Dilithium) were integrated at the blockchain consensus layer to resist quantum attacks. A directed acyclic graph (DAG)-based ledger managed high transaction throughput and latency constraints typical of telehealth. A QKD-enhanced key management protocol leveraged quantum channels for secure exchanges. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and secure multiparty computation (MPC) verified transactions without exposing sensitive patient data. A granular access control model used attribute-based encryption and smart contracts to govern which participants could view or modify encrypted medical records. Results: The prototype was developed within a simulated telehealth network comprising hospitals, clinics, and patient devices. The PQC signatures at the consensus layer provided effective resistance to both classical and anticipated quantum attacks. The QKD facilitated secure key distribution, while ZKPs and MPC enabled validation of healthcare transactions without compromising patient privacy. Despite increased computational overhead, the DAG approach efficiently handled parallel transactions, indicating improved scalability compared to traditional linear blockchains. Conclusion: A QKD-enhanced, PQC-driven framework successfully addresses critical security and privacy requirements, safeguarding medical data from emerging quantum threats. Although overhead and infrastructural costs are significant, sustained cryptographic resilience and robust patient confidentiality underscore its suitability for next-generation healthcare systems. Future studies should explore additional optimizations, homomorphic encryption, and larger-scale pilots under regulatory standards.","author":[{"family":"Roosan","given":"Don"},{"family":"Khan","given":"Rubayat"},{"family":"Nirzhor","given":"Saif"},{"family":"Hai","given":"Fahmida"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.30953/bhty.v8.379","URL":"https://doi.org/10.30953/bhty.v8.379","source":"europepmc"},{"id":"oa:W4407956947","type":"article-journal","title":"A manufacturable platform for photonic quantum computing","abstract":"Abstract Although holding great promise for low noise, ease of operation and networking 1 , useful photonic quantum computing has been precluded by the need for beyond-state-of-the-art components, manufactured by the millions 2–6 .

Correcting these errors requires a large number of additional qubits. Two main avenues to reduce this overhead are (i) low-density parity check (LDPC) codes requiring very few additional qubits to correct errors (ii) cat qubits where bit-flip errors are exponentially suppressed by design. In this work, we combine both approaches to obtain an extremely low overhead architecture. Assuming a physical phase-flip error probability ϵ ≈ 0.1% per qubit and operation, one hundred logical qubits can be implemented on a 758 cat qubit chip, with a total logical error probability per cycle and per logical qubit ϵ L ≤ 10 −8 . Our architecture also features two major advantages. First, the hardware implementation of the code can be realised with short-range qubit interactions in 2D and low-weight stabilizers, under constraints similar to those of the popular surface code architecture. Second, we demonstrate how to implement a fault-tolerant universal set of logical gates with an additional layer of routing cat qubits stacked on top of the LDPC layer, while maintaining the local connectivity. Furthermore, our architecture benefits from a high capacity of parallelization for these logical gates.","author":[{"family":"Ruiz","given":"Diego"},{"family":"Guillaud","given":"Jérémie"},{"family":"Leverrier","given":"Anthony"},{"family":"Mirrahimi","given":"Mazyar"},{"family":"Vuillot","given":"Christophe"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-025-56298-8","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-025-56298-8","source":"europepmc"},{"id":"doi:10.7759/cureus.82759","type":"article-journal","title":"The Potential Role of Quantum Computing in Biomedicine and Healthcare: The Next Frontier Beyond Artificial Intelligence.","abstract":"Quantum computing is poised to revolutionize biomedicine and healthcare, offering computational advantages that surpass classical and artificial intelligence-based approaches.

This vulnerability has catalyzed accelerated standardization efforts for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and global security stakeholders. While theoretical security analysis of these quantum-resistant algorithms has advanced considerably, comprehensive real-world performance benchmarks spanning diverse computing environments—from high-performance cloud infrastructure to severely resource-constrained IoT devices—remain insufficient for informed deployment planning. This paper presents the most extensive cross-platform empirical evaluation to date of NIST-selected PQC algorithms, including CRYSTALS-Kyber and NTRU for key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs), alongside BIKE as a code-based alternative, and CRYSTALS-Dilithium and Falcon for digital signatures. Our systematic benchmarking framework measures computational latency, memory utilization, key sizes, and protocol overhead across multiple security levels (NIST Levels 1, 3, and 5) in three distinct hardware environments and various network conditions. Results demonstrate that contemporary server architectures can implement these algorithms with negligible performance impact (<5% additional latency), making immediate adoption feasible for cloud services. In contrast, resource-constrained devices experience more significant overhead, with computational demands varying by up to 12× between algorithms at equivalent security levels, highlighting the importance of algorithm selection for edge deployments. Beyond standalone algorithm performance, we analyze integration challenges within existing security protocols, revealing that naive implementation of PQC in TLS 1.3 can increase handshake size by up to 7× compared to classical approaches. To address this, we propose and evaluate three optimization strategies that reduce bandwidth requirements by 40–60% without compromising security guarantees. Our investigation further encompasses memory-constrained implementation techniques, side-channel resistance measures, and hybrid classical-quantum approaches for transitional deployments. Based on these comprehensive findings, we present a risk-based migration framework and algorithm selection guidelines tailored to specific use cases, including financial transactions, secure firmware updates, vehicle-to-infrastructure communications, and IoT fleet management. This practical roadmap enables organizations to strategically prioritize systems for quantum-resistant upgrades based on data sensitivity, resource constraints, and technical feasibility. Our results conclusively demonstrate that PQC is deployment-ready for most applications, provided that implementations are carefully optimized for the specific performance characteristics and security requirements of target environments. We also identify several remaining research challenges for the community, including further optimization for ultra-constrained devices, standardization of hybrid schemes, and hardware acceleration opportunities.","author":[{"family":"Abbasi","given":"Maryam"},{"family":"Cardoso","given":"Filipe"},{"family":"Váz","given":"Paulo"},{"family":"Silva","given":"José"},{"family":"Martins","given":"Pedro"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.3390/cryptography9020032","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3390/cryptography9020032","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4413785294","type":"article-journal","title":"Hybrid quantum-classical-quantum convolutional neural networks","abstract":"Deep learning has achieved significant success in pattern recognition, with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) serving as a foundational architecture for extracting spatial features from images. Quantum computing provides an alternative computational framework, a hybrid quantum-classical convolutional neural networks (QCCNNs) leverage high-dimensional Hilbert spaces and entanglement to surpass classical CNNs in image classification accuracy under comparable architectures. Despite performance improvements, QCCNNs typically use fixed quantum layers without incorporating trainable quantum parameters. This limits their ability to capture non-linear quantum representations and separates the model from the potential advantages of expressive quantum learning. In this work, we present a hybrid quantum-classical-quantum convolutional neural network (QCQ-CNN) that incorporates a quantum convolutional filter, a shallow classical CNN, and a trainable variational quantum classifier. This architecture aims to enhance the expressivity of decision boundaries in image classification tasks by introducing tunable quantum parameters into the end-to-end learning process. Through a series of small-sample experiments on MNIST, F-MNIST, and MRI tumor datasets, QCQ-CNN demonstrates competitive accuracy and convergence behavior compared to classical and hybrid baselines. We further analyze the effect of ansatz depth and find that moderate-depth quantum circuits can improve learning stability without introducing excessive complexity. Additionally, simulations incorporating depolarizing noise and finite sampling shots suggest that QCQ-CNN maintains a certain degree of robustness under realistic quantum noise conditions. While our results are currently limited to simulations with small-scale quantum circuits, the proposed approach offers a potentially promising direction for hybrid quantum learning in near-term applications.","author":[{"family":"Long","given":"Changzhou"},{"family":"Huang","given":"Mengyuan"},{"family":"Ye","given":"Xiucai"},{"family":"Futamura","given":"Yasunori"},{"family":"Sakurai","given":"Tetsuya"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-025-13417-1","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-13417-1","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4406104415","type":"article-journal","title":"Observation of quantum strong Mpemba effect","abstract":"An ancient and counterintuitive phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect (water can cool faster when initially heated up) showcases the critical role of initial conditions in relaxation processes.

As organizations strive to meet net-zero emission targets, technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Computing (QC) have emerged as powerful enablers of this transformation. This systematic literature review investigates the roles of AI and QC in achieving carbon-neutral supply chains, examining how these technologies optimize forecasting, logistics, procurement, emissions monitoring, and real-time decision-making across diverse industrial contexts. By following the PRISMA 2020 methodology, a total of 87 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 were identified, screened, and synthesized from databases including Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The review reveals that AI significantly enhances operational sustainability through intelligent demand forecasting, inventory optimization, carbon footprint assessment, and green procurement decision-making. Quantum computing, while still in its early stages of maturity, offers high-potential applications in solving complex optimization problems such as vehicle routing, energy grid balancing, and low-emission manufacturing simulation. The integration of AI and QC—especially when combined with technologies like digital twins and blockchain—was found to support advanced sustainability modeling, emissions traceability, and secure carbon data verification. These integrated systems enable supply chains to become not only more efficient but also more transparent and accountable in their environmental impact. However, the review also highlights substantial challenges to implementation, including quantum hardware limitations, high energy demands, cost barriers, and the lack of integration with existing enterprise systems. This study contributes to the growing field of sustainable digital transformation by offering a comprehensive understanding of how AI and quantum technologies can jointly support carbon neutrality objectives in global supply chain ecosystems.","author":[{"family":"Vudugula","given":"Sanjai"},{"family":"Chebrolu","given":"Sanath"},{"family":"Zaman","given":"Sadia"},{"family":"Saha","given":"Rony"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.63125/nrdx7d32","URL":"https://doi.org/10.63125/nrdx7d32","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4410034945","type":"article-journal","title":"A systematic review of quantum machine learning for digital health","abstract":"The growth in digitization of health data provides opportunities for using algorithmic techniques for data analysis.

We use it to cool a transmon qubit to a temperature lower than that achievable with any one available bath, thereby resetting the qubit to an initial state suitable for quantum computing. The process is driven by a thermal gradient and is autonomous, requiring no external feedback. The refrigerator exploits an engineered three-body interaction between the target qubit and two auxiliary qudits. Each auxiliary qudit is coupled to a physical heat bath, realized with a microwave waveguide populated with synthesized quasithermal radiation. If the target qubit is initially fully excited, its effective temperature reaches a steady-state level of approximately 22 mK, lower than what can be achieved by existing state-of-the-art reset protocols.

Popular schemes like RSA, ECDSA, and SHA-256 can be compromised by quantum algorithms (Shor's and Grover's), raising questions about the security and trustworthiness of blockchain-based applications in finance, healthcare, and supply chains. Many current approaches focus on isolated aspects of the blockchain, such as cryptographic primitives or key exchange, without a comprehensive strategy that can guarantee end-to-end security in the face of a quantum threat. Finally, traditional consensus mechanisms such as Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake are vulnerable to Sybil attacks, centralization, and leader-selection bias. When the adversary has access to a quantum computer, these issues become significantly worse. In this paper, we present QuantumShield-BC, a modular blockchain framework incorporating post-quantum cryptographic signatures, quantum key distribution (QKD), and a novel Quantum Byzantine Fault Tolerance (Q-BFT) consensus mechanism driven by quantum random number generation (QRNG) to address these challenges. QKD: The system supports tamper-proof key exchange, quantum-resilient consensus among validator nodes, and secure transaction signing. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that QuantumShield-BC achieves low consensus latency and high throughput, while providing perfect security against simulated attacks from Shor's and Grover's algorithms. The proposed framework eradicates the Sybil attack effectiveness up to 0%, eliminates replay and MITM vulnerabilities, and achieves an average throughput of over 7,000 transactions per second with 100 validators, orders of magnitude better than classical blockchain systems. The importance of each quantum part to the system's robustness is also demonstrated using an ablation study. With its unique ability to provide a post-quantum framework for high-assurance, general-purpose, scalable, and interoperable blockchain networks resistant to quantum-inspired attacks or quantum retrieval, QuantumShield-BC is practical for deployment in critical infrastructure and digital trust ecosystems where performance and a future-proof foundation are essential.","author":[{"family":"Reddy","given":"NR"},{"family":"Suryadevara","given":"Supriya"},{"family":"Reddy","given":"KGR"},{"family":"Umamaheswari","given":"R"},{"family":"Guttula","given":"Ramakrishna"},{"family":"Rajitha","given":"Kotoju"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-025-16315-8","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-025-16315-8","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4411184056","type":"article-journal","title":"Integration of Quantum Accelerators with High Performance Computing—A Review of Quantum Programming Tools","abstract":"Quantum computing (QC) introduces a novel mode of computation with the possibility of greater computational power that remains to be exploitedpresenting exciting opportunities for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

Previous platforms have mainly focused on scalar computing with optical intensities, which is highly sensitive to environmental disturbance and has been primarily restricted to single or basic computations because of intrinsic fixed correlation between the input and output signals. To our knowledge, for the first time, we use polarization vectors for optical analog computing with a single-layered metasurface to overcome these restrictions. The underlying mechanism is on-demand polarization transformation on the dispersive Poincaré spheres, constructing intrinsic variable correlations between the incident polarization vectors and output signals.

However, classical DeepONet entails quadratic complexity concerning input dimensions during evaluation. Given the progress in quantum algorithms and hardware, here we propose to utilize quantum computing to accelerate DeepONet evaluations, yielding complexity that is linear in input dimensions.

We benchmark our quantum DeepONet using a variety of PDEs, including the antiderivative operator, advection equation, and Burgers' equation. We demonstrate the method's efficacy in both ideal and noisy conditions. Furthermore, we show that our quantum DeepONet can also be informed by physics, minimizing its reliance on extensive data collection. Quantum DeepONet will be particularly advantageous in applications in outer loop problems which require exploring parameter space and solving the corresponding PDEs, such as uncertainty quantification and optimal experimental design.","author":[{"family":"Xiao","given":"Pengpeng"},{"family":"Zheng","given":"Muqing"},{"family":"Jiao","given":"Anran"},{"family":"Xiu","given":"Yang"},{"family":"Lu","given":"Lu"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.22331/q-2025-06-04-1761","URL":"https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-06-04-1761","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4407552746","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Optics Applications of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Defects","abstract":"Abstract Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a compelling platform for both classical and quantum technologies.

Many theories explaining this counter-intuitive behavior in classical systems rely on memory effects. However, in quantum systems, the relation between the Mpemba effect and memory has remained unexplored. In this Letter, we consider general non-Markovian open quantum systems and reveal new classes of quantum Mpemba effects, with no analog in Markovian quantum dynamics. Generically, open quantum dynamics possess a finite memory time and a unique steady state. Because of non-Markovian dynamics, even if the system is initialized in the steady state it can take a long time to relax back. We find other initial states that reach the steady state much faster. Most notably, we demonstrate that there can be an initial state in which the system reaches the steady state within the finite memory time itself, giving the fastest possible relaxation to stationarity. We verify the effect for quantum dot systems coupled to electronic reservoirs in equilibrium and nonequilibrium setups at weak, intermediate and strong coupling. Our Letter provides new insights into the rich physics underlying accelerated relaxation in quantum systems.","author":[{"family":"Strachan","given":"David"},{"family":"Purkayastha","given":"Archak"},{"family":"Clark","given":"Stephen"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevlett.134.220403","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.134.220403","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4406821798","type":"article-journal","title":"A quantum-optimized approach for breast cancer detection using SqueezeNet-SVM","abstract":"Breast cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, and its early diagnosis is crucial for reducing mortality rates and ensuring timely treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis systems provide automated mammography image processing, interpretation, and grading. However, since the currently existing methods suffer from such issues as overfitting, lack of adaptability, and dependence on massive annotated datasets, the present work introduces a hybrid approach to enhance breast cancer classification accuracy. The proposed Q-BGWO-SQSVM approach utilizes an improved quantum-inspired binary Grey Wolf Optimizer and combines it with SqueezeNet and Support Vector Machines to exhibit sophisticated performance. SqueezeNet's fire modules and complex bypass mechanisms extract distinct features from mammography images. Then, these features are optimized by the Q-BGWO for determining the best SVM parameters. Since the current CAD system is more reliable, accurate, and sensitive, its application is advantageous for healthcare. The proposed Q-BGWO-SQSVM was evaluated using diverse databases: MIAS, INbreast, DDSM, and CBIS-DDSM, analyzing its performance regarding accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1 score, and MCC. Notably, on the CBIS-DDSM dataset, the Q-BGWO-SQSVM achieved remarkable results at 99% accuracy, 98% sensitivity, and 100% specificity in 15-fold cross-validation. Finally, it can be observed that the performance of the designed Q-BGWO-SQSVM model is excellent, and its potential realization in other datasets and imaging conditions is promising.

The microgrid configuration analyzed includes renewable energy sources like photovoltaic panels and wind turbines, along with conventional energy sources and battery storage. By incorporating quantum-inspired mechanics, QPSO overcomes limitations such as premature convergence and solution stagnation, often seen in traditional methods. Simulation results demonstrate that QPSO achieves a 9.67% reduction in operational costs, equating to savings of €158.87, and a 13.23% reduction in carbon emissions, lowering emissions to 513.70 kg of CO 2 equivalent in the economic scheduling scenario. In the environmentally constrained economic scheduling scenario, the method delivers a balanced solution with operational costs of €174.11 and emissions of 401.63 kg of CO 2 . The algorithm’s performance is validated across various microgrid configurations, including standard low-voltage setups.

To this end, we combine Monte Carlo simulations and quantum computing, where the former can be used to determine the numerical value of the lattice spacing $a$, and the latter allows for reaching the perturbative regime at very small values of the bare coupling and, correspondingly, small values of $a$. The methodology involves a series of sequential steps (i.e., the step scaling function) to bridge results from small lattice spacings to non-perturbative large-scale lattice calculations. To address the model on current and near-future quantum devices, we propose variational Ansatz circuits adapted to gauge degrees of freedom. Focusing on the pure gauge case, we demonstrate that these quantum circuits are able to capture the relevant physics by studying the expectation value of the plaquette operator, for matching with corresponding Monte Carlo simulations.

DESI BAO provide robust measurements of the transverse comoving distance and Hubble rate, or their combination, relative to the sound horizon, in seven redshift bins from over 6 million extragalactic objects in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 4.2. To mitigate confirmation bias, a blind analysis was implemented to measure the BAO scales. DESI BAO data alone are consistent with the standard flat ΛCDM cosmological model with a matter density Ω m =0.295±0.015. Paired with a baryon density prior from Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and the robustly measured acoustic angular scale from the cosmic microwave background (CMB), DESI requires H 0 =(68.52±0.62) km s -1 Mpc -1 . In conjunction with CMB anisotropies from Planck and CMB lensing data from Planck and ACT, we find Ω m =0.307± 0.005 and H 0 =(67.97±0.38) km s -1 Mpc -1 . Extending the baseline model with a constant dark energy equation of state parameter w , DESI BAO alone require w =-0.99 +0.15 -0.13 . In models with a time-varying dark energy equation of state parametrised by w 0 and w a , combinations of DESI with CMB or with type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) individually prefer w 0 > -1 and w a < 0. This preference is 2.6 σ for the DESI+CMB combination, and persists or grows when SN Ia are added in, giving results discrepant with the ΛCDM model at the 2.5 σ , 3.5 σ or 3.9 σ levels for the addition of the Pantheon+, Union3, or DES-SN5YR supernova datasets respectively. For the flat ΛCDM model with the sum of neutrino mass ∑ m ν free, combining the DESI and CMB data yields an upper limit ∑ m ν < 0.072 (0.113) eV at 95% confidence for a ∑ m ν > 0 (∑ m ν > 0.059) eV prior.

Association for Computing Machinery, New York, 2022), or Q-MLIR (McCaskey and Nguyen in Proceedings-2021 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering, QCE, 2021), their effectiveness in handling abstractions, and their hybrid support between quantum-classical operations are evaluated. However, a key limitation is their inability to address qubit locality, an essential feature for distributed quantum computing (DQC). To overcome this, InQuIR (Nishio and Wakizaka in InQuIR: Intermediate Representation for Interconnected Quantum Computers, 2023. https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.00267) was introduced as an IR specifically designed for distributed systems, providing explicit control over qubit locality and inter-node communication. While effective in managing qubit distribution, InQuIR’s dependence on manual manipulation of communication protocols increases complexity for developers. NetQIR (Vázquez-Pérez et al. in NetQIR: An Extension of QIR for Distributed Quantum Computing, 2024. https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.03712), an extension of QIR for DQC, emerges as a solution to achieve the abstraction of quantum communications protocols. This review emphasizes the need for further advancements in IRs for distributed quantum systems, which will play a crucial role in the scalability and usability of future quantum networks.","author":[{"family":"Cardama","given":"FJ"},{"family":"Vázquez-Pérez","given":"Jorge"},{"family":"Piñeiro","given":"César"},{"family":"Pichel","given":"Juan"},{"family":"Pena","given":"Tomás"},{"family":"Gómez","given":"Andrés"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1007/s11227-024-06892-2","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11227-024-06892-2","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4407157650","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum coarsening and collective dynamics on a programmable simulator","abstract":"Understanding the collective quantum dynamics of non-equilibrium many-body systems is an outstanding challenge in quantum science.

Here we use a programmable quantum simulator based on Rydberg atom arrays to experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)-dimensional Ising quantum phase transition. After crossing the quantum critical point, we observe a gradual growth of correlations through coarsening of antiferromagnetically ordered domains6. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries, and find that the dynamics accelerate with proximity to the quantum critical point. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (‘Higgs’) mode7. These observations offer a viewpoint into emergent collective dynamics in strongly correlated quantum systems and non-equilibrium quantum processes.

Our solution allows for a seamless integration of classical and post-quantum (PQ) cryptography, and quantum key distribution (QKD) into existing network security protocols (e.g., TLS, IPsec) without any major modifications to the protocols themselves. This crypto-agility ensures the mitigation of some of the most well known challenges of both PQ cryptography and QKD. Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of such triple-hybrid network security protocols, showing non-substantial decrease in performance and almost no added packet overhead compared to state of the art protocols.

Therefore, researchers have taken advantage of the features of blockchain technology to increase the security of the ecosystem. Recently, as the existence of quantum computers has been felt, researchers have started to benefit from post-quantum cryptography to increase privacy and security. There has been an increase in data and asset protection in post-quantum blockchain-based solutions. To the best of our knowledge, there is no comprehensive review or taxonomy that provides a complete picture of post-quantum secure structures with privacy-preserving techniques that have the potential to be used in blockchain. This paper aims to close this gap by systematically examining these approaches and revealing the deficiencies in the existing literature and the development potential in these areas. The taxonomy examines the role of blockchain technology in post-quantum cryptography and emphasizes the potential of technologies such as zero-knowledge proof to ensure privacy in post-quantum blockchain-based systems. We also review the existing literature on addressing the performance overhead, interoperability, scalability, and security challenges in implementing post-quantum cryptography in zero-knowledge proof-enabled blockchain architectures that protect against quantum computing threats. The studies are collected from journal papers in widely used academic databases between 2018 and 2024.

All LCL problems solvable with locality $O(\\log^\\star n)$ in the classical deterministic LOCAL model admit a finitely-dependent distribution with locality $O(1)$.

Recently, Coiteux-Roy~et~al.~(STOC 2024) showed that quantum resources do not help for 3-coloring \\textit{unrooted} trees: in particular, their lower bound holds in the stronger \\textit{non-signaling} model, which formalizes the principle of physical causality in distributed computing. The case of \\textit{rooted} trees, however, was left open by their work. For rooted trees, the deterministic Cole-Vishkin algorithm 3-colors $n$-node trees in $O(\\log^\\star n)$ rounds, matching Linial's classical $Ω(\\log^\\star n)$ lower bound (FOCS 1987). In this paper, we show that any algorithm in quantum-LOCAL (without pre-shared entanglement) that properly 3-colors $n$-node rooted trees with probability at least ${1-O(1/\\log n)}$ must perform $Ω(\\log^\\star n)$ rounds. That is, quantum resources provide no advantage for 3-coloring rooted trees. To get this result, we show a lower bound of $Ω(\\log^\\star Δ)$ for 3-coloring any $Δ$-ary tree with success probability at least $1-1/Δ$. The proof uses a \\textit{color lifting} technique that bears similarity to Linial's original argument. We also show, as a separate result, that 2-coloring even-length $n$-node cycles with probability $1-O(1/n)$ requires $n/2-1$ rounds in the quantum-LOCAL model, even with pre-shared entangled states. This improves the previously known $\\lceil (n-2)/4 \\rceil$ lower bound of Gavoille, Kosowski, and Markiewicz (DISC 2009) by a factor of two, and shows that quantum algorithms cannot save even a single round over classical deterministic algorithms for 2-coloring even-length cycles.","author":[{"family":"Fraigniaud","given":"Pierre"},{"family":"Magniez","given":"Frédéric"},{"family":"Ziccardi","given":"Isabella"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2607.04852","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2607.04852","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19451838","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum's First Real Benchmarks Are Here","abstract":"Episode summary: The quantum hype is finally meeting reality. With IBM's 1,121-qubit Condor processor and Google's error-corrected roadmap, we're seeing the first concrete benchmarks where quantum systems outperform classical ones. This episode explores ten specific use cases—from simulating molecules to securing communications—where quantum computing delivers measurable improvements. No \"maybe someday\" fluff, just hard data on where this technology actually works today. Show Notes The Quantum Reality Check For over a decade, quantum computing has been the technology that's always \"ten years away.\" But that narrative is shifting. With IBM's 1,121-qubit Condor processor now in the world and Google's 2025 roadmap hitting targets for error-corrected logical qubits, we're crossing the bridge from theoretical physics into practical industry benchmarks. The key is moving beyond vague hype to specific, measurable improvements. Quantum computers aren't universally better—checking email or watching videos remains firmly in classical territory. The advantage emerges in specific \"high-dimensional\" problem domains where variables scale exponentially, causing classical hardware to hit a mathematical brick wall. Understanding Quantum-Ready Problems A problem becomes \"quantum-ready\" when it involves strong correlations or exponential scaling. Think of it this way: a classical computer navigates a maze by trying one path at a time, hitting walls, backtracking, and trying again—it's fast but linear. A quantum computer, through superposition, explores every path simultaneously, finding the exit because it exists everywhere at once. But the real metric isn't analogy—it's measurable improvement in time-to-solution, accuracy gains, or massive cost reductions. When a supercomputer takes a year and a quantum system takes an hour, that's the ballgame. Pharmaceutical Drug Discovery: The Molecular Simulation Frontier The first major use case is pharmaceutical drug discovery, specifically molecular simulation for protein-ligand binding. When you want to know how a new drug molecule interacts with a target protein, you must simulate electron interactions. In classical computing, every added electron doubles the complexity—it's a power-law nightmare. Quantum computers use qubits that operate on the same quantum mechanical rules as the electrons they're simulating, creating a true \"digital twin.\" To simulate just 70 electrons exactly, you'd need a classical computer the size of Earth. For complex proteins, you'd need one the size of the known universe. This isn't a hardware limitation—it's mathematical. Real numbers are emerging. In 2024, Roche and Cambridge Quantum Computing demonstrated a hundred-fold speedup in molecular docking for a 20-atom system using variational quantum eigensolvers. The real kicker? Currently, 90% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials because we can't accurately predict toxicity or efficacy digitally. Even a 10% improvement in success rates would save billions of dollars and years of R&D time. Financial Portfolio Optimization: Real-Time Risk Management The second use case addresses the massive computational burden of financial portfolio optimization, particularly Monte Carlo simulations. Hedge funds and banks run these nightly to predict portfolio risk under thousands of market conditions. Classical systems require N samples for accuracy; doubling accuracy requires quadratically more samples—four times the computational load. Quantum algorithms, specifically Quantum Amplitude Estimation, provide a quadratic speedup, requiring only the square root of N samples. If a simulation takes a supercomputer 24 hours (which is why banks typically run these overnight), a quantum system could theoretically complete it in minutes. This enables real-time risk adjustments during active trading instead of waiting for overnight batches.

In August 2024, NIST finalized the first post-quantum cryptography standards—lattice-based algorithms designed to survive attacks from machines that don't yet exist. This episode explores what quantum computers actually do to modern encryption, why the \"harvest-now-decrypt-later\" attack is happening today, and how the internet's cryptographic foundation is being rebuilt. We also dig into the frontier: homomorphic encryption (computing on encrypted data), zero-knowledge proofs, and what it means when the computational substrate itself becomes the vulnerability. Show Notes # When Quantum Breaks Everything: Post-Quantum Cryptography and the Internet's Race Against Time The threat from quantum computing is often framed as distant and theoretical. But there's a problem happening right now that makes it urgent: nation-state adversaries are almost certainly recording encrypted internet traffic today, betting they'll be able to decrypt it in fifteen years when quantum computers mature. This \"harvest-now-decrypt-later\" attack is the real reason the cryptographic infrastructure of the internet is being overhauled. ## How Quantum Computers Break Current Encryption RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography—the algorithms that secure HTTPS, TLS, SSH, and certificate authorities—rely on mathematical problems that are believed to be computationally intractable. Factoring a 2,048-bit number would take classical computers longer than the age of the universe. But in 1994, Peter Shor published an algorithm that, running on a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, collapses that problem to hours or less. The same vulnerability exists in elliptic-curve cryptography, which uses the discrete logarithm problem over elliptic curves. Shor's algorithm breaks both with equal efficiency—which is why both underpin the internet's public-key infrastructure. The timeline, however, is uncertain. Current quantum systems like IBM's Heron and Google's Willow operate with hundreds to low thousands of physical qubits. Breaking RSA would require millions of high-fidelity physical qubits—most serious estimates place cryptographically relevant quantum computing at ten to twenty years out. But that timeline doesn't matter for data being encrypted today. Once it's stored, it can wait. ## NIST's Post-Quantum Standards Recognizing this urgency, NIST launched a post-quantum standardization process in 2016. They received eighty-two algorithm submissions from research teams worldwide and spent eight years evaluating them through mathematical analysis, cryptanalysis attempts, and performance benchmarking. In August 2024, they finalized the first three standards: - **ML-KEM**: A key encapsulation mechanism based on the CRYSTALS-Kyber scheme - **ML-DSA**: A digital signature algorithm based on CRYSTALS-Dilithium - **SLH-DSA**: A hash-based signature algorithm as a backup The first two are lattice-based, representing the field's consensus on what can survive quantum attacks. ## Lattice Cryptography and the Learning With Errors Problem Lattice-based cryptography operates on a deceptively simple premise: a lattice is a regular grid of points in high-dimensional space—imagine an infinitely extending checkerboard in five hundred dimensions. The hard problem at its core is the Learning With Errors (LWE) problem: given a secret vector multiplied by a public matrix plus a small random error term, recovering the secret is believed to be computationally hard—even for quantum computers. No known quantum algorithm provides a meaningful speedup against LWE. This is important to emphasize: we don't have a proof that LWE is hard. We have decades of cryptanalysis, connections to well-studied worst-case lattice problems, and strong evidence. But like RSA, it's a computational assumption, not a theorem.

They discuss the reality of quantum-resistant encryption, explaining why companies like Apple and Signal are moving toward lattice-based math to defend against future threats like \"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.\" The conversation also peels back the curtain on signal intelligence, revealing that while the math remains strong, endpoint compromises and metadata analysis provide government agencies with plenty of ways around the shield. From the technicalities of NIST standards to the political battle over \"Chat Control\" in the EU, this episode is a comprehensive look at the front lines of the modern crypto wars. Show Notes In a world increasingly defined by digital interactions, the security of our private data rests on a foundation of complex mathematics. However, as technology advances, that foundation is being tested by the specter of quantum computing and the persistent gaze of global intelligence agencies. In a recent discussion, Herman and Corn explored the current state of consumer encryption in 2026, dissecting the shift toward post-quantum cryptography and the reality of how governments bypass even the strongest digital shields. ### The Quantum Clock is Ticking The conversation began with a look at the looming threat of quantum computing. While large-scale, cryptographically relevant quantum computers do not yet exist, the threat they pose to traditional encryption—like RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography—is well-documented. Herman explained that these classical systems rely on the difficulty of factoring large prime numbers, a task that would take a classical supercomputer billions of years. However, Shor's algorithm allows a sufficiently powerful quantum computer to solve these problems with ease. Herman introduced a chilling concept currently shaping the strategies of intelligence agencies: \"Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.\" Well-funded actors are currently capturing and storing massive amounts of encrypted data, waiting for the day a quantum computer can unlock it. This makes the move to quantum-resistant encryption an immediate priority, rather than a distant concern. ### Building the New Shield: Post-Quantum Cryptography To counter this future threat, the industry is moving toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Herman highlighted the work of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which finalized new standards in late 2024. These new algorithms, such as ML-KEM (formerly Kyber) and ML-DSA (formerly Dilithium), move away from prime factoring and toward lattice-based cryptography. Unlike traditional methods, lattice-based math involves finding the shortest vector in a high-dimensional grid of points. This \"Shortest Vector Problem\" is currently believed to be resistant to both classical and quantum attacks. Tech giants are already leading the charge; Herman noted that Apple's PQ3 protocol for iMessage and Signal's SPQR (Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet) are already implementing \"hybrid\" approaches. By wrapping existing encryption in a layer of post-quantum math, these companies are providing a \"belt-and-suspenders\" security model that protects against both current and future threats. ### The Reality of Signal Intelligence One of the most provocative parts of the discussion centered on how intelligence agencies, such as the NSA or Mossad, actually intercept communications. Corn raised the question: if groups are using encrypted apps, how are transcripts still appearing in intelligence reports? Herman clarified a common misconception: intelligence agencies rarely \"break\" the math. Instead, they find ways to go around it. Herman outlined three primary methods used by modern signal intelligence (SIGINT): 1. **Endpoint Compromise:** This is the most common \"backdoor.\" By using sophisticated spyware like Pegasus, agencies can compromise the device itself.

From the technical mechanics of DOM access to real-world supply chain attacks, we uncover the hidden risks in your toolbar and how to protect your \"last mile\" of security. Show Notes The Illusion of Encryption at Rest and in Transit We spend considerable time and resources securing our digital lives. We enable two-factor authentication, use hardware security keys, and encrypt our emails with PGP. We trust that our data is safe when stored on a server (encryption at rest) and protected while moving across the internet (encryption in transit). However, a critical vulnerability often goes overlooked: the \"last mile\" problem. This is the moment data is decrypted for display on your screen, entering a state known as the \"danger zone.\" While we obsess over sophisticated threats like quantum computing or state-level actors, the most mundane risks often pose the greatest danger. Browser extensions, installed voluntarily for convenience, can undermine years of security architecture. When you grant an extension permission to \"read and change all your data on the websites you visit,\" you are essentially handing over a digital skeleton key to your browsing session. How Extensions See Your Data The browser architecture prioritizes functionality over security. When you view an encrypted email or a secure banking page, the decrypted content is injected into the Document Object Model (DOM)—the structural framework of the webpage. Many extensions use \"content scripts\" that have direct access to this DOM. They can scrape text directly from the page elements, bypassing the encryption that protected the data during transit. For example, a malicious extension can attach an \"event listener\" to a text input field. Every keystroke you make—whether typing a password, credit card number, or private message—is captured in plain text by the extension. This happens regardless of HTTPS encryption, which only protects data between your computer and the server, not between your keyboard and the browser's internal memory. The Supply Chain Risk and Permission Models The risk is compounded by the supply chain nature of the extension ecosystem. Even if you trust the original developer, that trust isn't guaranteed. In 2024, a popular OCR extension called Copyfish was compromised via a phishing attack, leading to a malicious update that injected ad-tracking code. More commonly, developers sell successful extensions to data-broking companies, which then push updates that silently harvest user data. Free VPN extensions are particularly notorious, often functioning as simple proxies that log and sell your browsing history rather than providing true privacy. Browser manufacturers have different approaches to managing these risks. Google Chrome, with its vast ecosystem, historically relied on \"install-time permissions\" and automated scanning. However, the sheer volume of extensions makes manual review difficult, and automated systems often miss \"polymorphic\" code that changes to evade detection. Firefox, with a smaller, more curated store, employs more rigorous manual reviews for its \"Recommended\" extensions, often catching malicious updates faster than Chrome's automated systems. Brave and Vivaldi, built on the Chromium engine, inherit Chrome's architecture but attempt to mitigate risks by integrating privacy features like ad blocking directly into the browser core, reducing the need for third-party extensions. Mitigation and Best Practices The solution isn't to abandon all extensions, but to adopt a minimalist and vigilant approach. Users should critically evaluate the necessity of each extension, favoring those from reputable developers with transparent privac","author":[{"family":"Rosehill","given":"Daniel"},{"family":"Tts","given":"Chatterbox"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.19337310","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19337310","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.48550/arxiv.2602.05394","type":"manuscript","title":"Linear Systems and Eigenvalue Problems: Open Questions from a Simons Workshop","abstract":"This document presents a series of open questions arising in matrix computations, i.e., the numerical solution of linear algebra problems.

It is, therefore, interesting to ask how quantum properties persist or change as we increase the size and complexity of objects 4 . A model test for this question can be realized by matter-wave interferometry, in which the motion of individual massive particles becomes delocalized and needs to be described by a wave function that spans regions far larger than the particle itself 5 . Over the years, this has been explored with a series of objects of increasing mass and complexity 6–9 and a growing community aims at pushing this to ever larger limits. Here we present an experimental platform that extends matter-wave interference to large metal clusters, a qualitatively new material class for quantum experiments.

We analyze the site-resolved Rydberg state densities and the distribution of state occurrences. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase, which subsequently proliferate and give rise to the floating phase with incommensurate quasi-long-range order.

Furthermore, as the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

In this work, we demonstrate deterministic and reconfigurable graph state generation with optical solid-state integrated quantum emitters.

The traditional formulation of quantum sensing introduces a concrete bound on ultimate precision through the so-called local sensing framework, in which a significant knowledge of prior information about the unknown parameter value is implicitly assumed. Moreover, the framework provides a systematic approach for optimizing the sensing protocol. In contrast, the paradigm of global sensing aims to find a precision bound for parameter estimation in the absence of such prior information. In recent years, vigorous research has been pursued to describe the contours of global quantum estimation. Here, we review some of these emerging developments. These developments are both in the realm of finding ultimate precision bounds with respect to appropriate figures of merit in the global sensing paradigm, as well as in the search for algorithms that achieve these bounds. We categorize these developments into two largely mutually exclusive camps; one employing Bayesian updating and the other seeking to generalize the frequentist picture of local sensing towards the global paradigm. In the first approach, in order to achieve the best performance, one has to optimize the measurement settings adaptively. In the second approach, the measurement setting is fixed, however the challenge is to identify this fixed measurement optimally.","author":[{"family":"Mukhopadhyay","given":"Chiranjib"},{"family":"Montenegro","given":"Víctor"},{"family":"Bayat","given":"Abolfazl"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1088/1751-8121/adb112","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8121/adb112","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4414396778","type":"article-journal","title":"Addendum: Gravitational memory: new results from post-Newtonian and self-force theory (2025 Class.

However, the latter reference also contains the spinning contributions to the oscillatory waveform for non-precessing systems. In this Addendum, we take advantage of this fact to compute the non-oscillatory, memory piece at 3.5PN for non-precessing, spinning binary black holes. This completes the 3.5PN waveform, including both oscillatory and memory effects in the non-spinning and spinning sectors. Crucially, this computation required controlling the spin-induced absorption effects due to the black-hole horizons. Our result is fully consistent with the results at 5PN and leading order in the mass ratio obtained in our main paper using analytical self-force techniques for a non-spinning particle around a Kerr black hole (a ≠ 0). We also take advantage of this computation to present in one place a certain number of important quantities (energy, energy flux at infinity, horizon energy flux, and phasing) in the case of spinning, non-precessing, binary black hole systems on circular orbits, at 3.5PN and to all orders in spin.

One of the dominant errors limiting the performance of quantum error correction codes across multiple technology platforms is leakage out of the computational subspace arising from the multilevel structure of qubit implementations. Here, we present a resource-efficient universal leakage reduction unit for superconducting qubits using parametric flux modulation. This operation removes leakage down to our measurement inaccuracy of 7×10^{-4} in approximately 50 ns with a low error of 2.5(1)×10^{-3} on the computational subspace, thereby reaching durations and fidelities comparable to those of single-qubit gates. We demonstrate that using the leakage reduction unit in repeated weight-two stabilizer measurements reduces the total number of detected errors in a scalable fashion to close to what can be achieved using leakage-rejection methods that do not scale. Our approach does not require additional control electronics or on-chip components and is applicable to both auxiliary and data qubits.

The speed-up arises because the algebraic structure of the problem is reflected in the decoding problem, which can be solved efficiently. We then investigate whether this approach can achieve a speed-up for optimization problems that lack an algebraic structure but have sparse clauses.

Herein, a novel CaGd 2 Ga 4 SiO 12 garnet is reported, designed through a structure reconstruction approach to host Cr 3+ ions for developing a high‐performance broadband NIR phosphor. By strategically introducing Jahn–Teller distortion at the octahedral sites via chemical pressure, Cr 3+ is endowed with a super‐broadband NIR emission spanning 600–1300 nm centered at 837 nm. The full‐width at half maximum (FWHM) varies from 187 to 223 nm across Cr 3+ doping concentrations, with the highest internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 99.01%. Remarkable luminescence thermal stability (90.37%@423 K) is bolstered by a weak electron‐phonon coupling (EPC) effect and trap‐mediated energy compensation, a result of the heterovalent ion substitutions in dodecahedral and tetrahedral sites.

These effects are explained through the radical-pair mechanism, which involves the protein backbone and a bound flavin cofactor. Using optically detected magnetic resonance and fluorescence magnetic-field effects, we explore a range of applications, including spatial localization of fluorescence signals using gradient fields (that is, magnetic resonance imaging using a genetically encoded probe), sensing of the molecular microenvironment, multiplexing of bio-imaging and lock-in detection, mitigating typical biological imaging challenges such as light scattering and autofluorescence.

We demonstrate that while residual connections between layers of a variational can prevent barren plateaus in models, this approach is accompanied by a trade-off in success probability. Second, we implement a quantum analogue of average-pooling layers from convolutional networks using single-qubit-controlled basic arithmetic operators and show that the LCU success probability remains stable for the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) database. This method can be further generalized to convolutional filters, while using exponentially fewer controlled unitaries than previous approaches. Finally, we propose a general framework for applying a linear combination of irreducible-subspace projections on quantum encoded data for any finite group. This enables a quantum state to remain within an exponentially large space, while selectively amplifying specific subspaces relative to others, alleviating simulability concerns that arise when fully projecting to a polynomially sized subspace. We demonstrate improved classification performance for partially amplified permutation-invariant encoded point-cloud data when compared to noninvariant or fully permutation-invariant encodings.

This paradigm shift requires on-demand and high-rate generation of flying qubits and their quantum state teleportation over long distances. Despite the last decade has witnessed an impressive progress in the performances of deterministic photon sources, the exploitation of distinct quantum emitters to implement a quantum relay among distant parties has remained elusive. Here, we overcome this challenge by using dissimilar quantum dots whose electronic and optical properties are engineered by light-matter interaction, multi-axial strain and magnetic fields so as to make them suitable for the teleportation of polarization qubits. This is demonstrated in a quantum network harnessing both fiber connections and a 270 m free-space optical link connecting two buildings of the Sapienza University campus in Rome. The protocol exploits GPS-assisted synchronization, ultra-fast single photon detectors as well as stabilization systems that compensate for atmospheric turbulence. The achieved teleportation state fidelity reaches up to 82 ± 1%, above the classical limit by more than 10 standard deviations. Our field demonstration of all-photonic quantum teleportation opens a new route to implement solid-state based quantum relays and builds the foundation for practical quantum networks.

Existing encryption methods offer adequate security for digital data; however, they often fall short when applied to resource-constrained IoT devices. This research introduces a novel lightweight encryption algorithm optimized with metaheuristic techniques, incorporating quantum encryption, confusion and diffusion operations, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and multiple chaotic maps. Initially, a color image is decomposed into its three color components-red (R), green (G), and blue (B)-and then transformed into its quantum representation, where quantum encryption operations are performed. Following this, the quantum image is transformed back into a classical format to apply confusion and diffusion techniques. Confusion is achieved by generating a substitution matrix and applying a modular operation to introduce pixel-level confusion. A key matrix is then created to implement the diffusion operation. In the final phase, DWT is used to extract frequency sub-bands, forming a low-frequency sub-band and further extracting sub-bands up to the 4th level, which are substituted using values from the substitution box. The performance of the proposed encryption framework is evaluated through various statistical analyses, including entropy, correlation, key sensitivity, lossless analysis, and histogram analysis. The results demonstrate notable statistical measures with an entropy of 7.9998, a correlation of 0.0001, and a key space of [Formula: see text].

The impending arrival of quantum cryptography compromises current encryption methods, possibly compromising the effectiveness of traditional key management-based security protocols. One fundamental Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol, BB84, encounters challenges when operating with fewer Quantum bits (Qubits) and bases that only support up to 8 Qubits. This limitation weakens the system’s security, making brute force, intercept, and resend attacks less challenging. Consequently, this study proposes a method to enhance the security of the BB84 protocol, to reduce susceptibility to attacks and eavesdropping. The improved BB84 protocol utilizes 9, 12, and 16 quantum bits along with two, and three bases to significantly bolster security. This allows authorized parties to eliminate the use of compromised keys. Additionally, the study implements the E91 QKD protocol utilizing the Entanglement Pair Generation (EPR) method to produce secure keys. While the existing E91 protocol ensures security through Bell’s theorem and Bell’s inequality, it overlooks the impact of noise, leading to inaccuracies in eavesdropper detection. To address this, the study introduces an additional security measure. Whenever an eavesdropper attempts to measure the quantum state, the proposed E91 protocol collapses its state from$\\vert 10\\rangle $to$\\vert 11\\rangle $, setting the first Qubit to$\\vert 1\\rangle $and the other Qubit to$\\vert 0\\rangle $, thus providing the eavesdropper with incorrect information, accompanied by a phase angle of$15\\pi $/8. This leads to a misconception, preventing eavesdroppers from obtaining useful details about transferred quantum states. Additionally, considering that the proposed E91 protocol relies on entangled particles and utilizes double Qubit gates, which are inherently noisier than single Qubit gates and more susceptible to quantum decoherence, this study employs error mitigation techniques during the final measurement to predict outcomes more efficiently.","author":[{"family":"Ain","given":"Noor"},{"family":"Waqar","given":"Muhammad"},{"family":"Bilal","given":"Anas"},{"family":"Kim","given":"Ajung"},{"family":"Ali","given":"Haider"},{"family":"Tariq","given":"Umair"},{"family":"Nadeem","given":"Muhammad"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1109/access.2025.3539178","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2025.3539178","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4415088233","type":"manuscript","title":"Neural Decoders for Universal Quantum Algorithms","abstract":"Fault-tolerant quantum computing demands decoders that are fast, accurate, and adaptable to circuit structure and realistic noise.

However, the number of logical qubits will initially remain limited, posing challenges for resource-intensive tasks like magic state distillation. It is therefore essential to develop efficient methods for implementing non-Clifford operations, such as small-angle rotations, to maximise the computational capabilities of devices within these constraints. In this work, we introduce mitigated magic dilution (MMD) as an approach to synthesise small-angle rotations by employing quantum error mitigation techniques to sample logical Clifford circuits given noisy encoded magic states. We explore the utility of our approach for the simulation of the 2D Fermi–Hubbard model. We identify evolution time regimes where MMD outperforms state-of-the-art synthesis techniques in the number of noisy encoded magic states required for square lattices up to size 8 × 8 . Moreover, we demonstrate that our method can provide a practical advantage that is quantified by a better-than-quadratic improvement in the resource requirements for small-angle rotations over classical simulators.

We show that the entanglement asymmetry of the whole system approaches its stationary value in a time independent of the system size for both local and nonlocal circuits. For subsystems, we find qualitative differences depending on their size. When the subsystem is larger than half of the full system, the equilibration timescales are again independent of the system size for both local and nonlocal circuits and the entanglement asymmetry grows monotonically in time.

As a consequence, the subsystem-equilibration time depends on the locality of interactions, scaling linearly and logarithmically in the system size, respectively, for local and nonlocal RUCs.

The obtained quantum state is much shorter than the original word, and its processing uses fewer resources, making it useful in quantum algorithms, communication, and cryptography. One of the examples of quantum fingerprinting is the quantum automata algorithm for M O D p = { a i · p ∣ i ≥ 0 } languages, where p is a prime number. However, implementing such an automaton on current quantum hardware is not efficient. Quantum fingerprinting maps a word x ∈{0, 1} n of length n to a state |ψ( x )〉 of O (log n ) qubits, and uses O ( n ) unitary operations. Computing quantum fingerprint using all available qubits of the current quantum computers is infeasible due to many quantum operations. To make quantum fingerprinting practical, we should optimize the circuit for depth instead of width, in contrast to the previous works. We propose explicit methods of quantum fingerprinting based on tools from additive combinatorics, such as generalized arithmetic progressions (GAPs), and prove that these methods provide circuit depth comparable to a probabilistic method. We also compare our method to prior work on explicit quantum fingerprinting methods. We provide a series of numerical experiments with implementation of the quantum automata for MOD 17 language on noisy simulators of IBMQ quantum devices.

The QML models outperformed the traditional models with a maximum phishing detection accuracy of 97.75% by QSVC implementation. With the BB84 protocol, its eavesdropping detection was proved by quantum interference detection upon testing on IBM's Qiskit and Google's Cirq systems while the operations were secure and in attack scenarios.

However, classical simulations of QCD face significant computational barriers, such as the sign problem at finite matter densities. Quantum computing offers a promising solution to overcome these challenges. Here, we take an important step toward exploring the QCD phase diagram with quantum devices by preparing thermal states in one-dimensional non-Abelian gauge theories. We experimentally simulate the thermal states of SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories at finite densities on a trapped-ion quantum computer using a variational method. This is achieved by introducing two features: Firstly, we add motional ancillae to the existing qubit register to efficiently prepare thermal probability distributions. Secondly, we introduce charge-singlet measurements to enforce colour-neutrality constraints. This work pioneers the quantum simulation of QCD at finite density and temperature for two and three colours, laying the foundation to explore QCD phenomena on quantum platforms. Quantum simulations of the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics faces hard challenges, such as having to prepare mixed states and enforcing the non-Abelian gauge symmetry constraints.

In this study, a solvent‐free “raw material selection‐synthesis design‐product process (RSP)” strategy is proposed enable to continuously production of perovskite QD/polymer composites using a screw extruder. Rational raw material selection allows QDs to be uniformly dispersed within the polymer matrix, resulting in efficient luminescent features (e.g., the green CsPbBr 3 QD/PS composites with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of ≈90%). Meanwhile, polymer encapsulation obviously enhances the stability of QDs against the external environment. Importantly, the strategy is a continuous process (only raw material loading is required), which is conductive to scaling up perovskite QDs production from laboratory research to the market. Furthermore, the potential applications of as‐prepared QD‐based polymer composites is demonstrated in various light conversion fields, such as light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), scintillators, displays, and luminescent textiles.

This study proposes a hybrid image encryption scheme that integrates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) using the BB84 protocol with a combination of 7-dimensional (7D) and 2-dimensional (2D) hyperchaotic systems to achieve robust security. The BB84 protocol facilitates quantum-assisted key exchange, ensuring resistance to eavesdropping, while the hyperchaotic systems provide high entropy and complex randomness, utilized in a layered permutation-substitution encryption framework. The initial seeds for chaotic sequences are derived using a SHA-512 hash of both the input image and quantum-generated key, ensuring uniqueness and sensitivity. Experimental validation was conducted using several benchmark images. The information entropy values of the ciphered images reached up to 7.9993, indicating excellent randomness. Differential analysis showed high resistance to small perturbations, with NPCR exceeding 99.61% and UACI averaging around 33.47%, which meet standard security thresholds. Histogram and chi-square tests confirmed the uniform pixel distribution, with chi-square values below 280, satisfying the randomness criterion for 8-bit images. Furthermore, correlation coefficients of adjacent pixels dropped to near zero, evidencing effective decorrelation. The encryption scheme also demonstrated robustness to data loss, as shown by the successful decryption of partially corrupted cipher images. Robustness testing under partial data loss (200×200-pixel blocks) also demonstrated visual recoverability and algorithm resilience.

The spectral form factor corresponds to the Fourier transform of the two-point spectral correlation function and exhibits a typical slope-dip-ramp-plateau structure (aka correlation hole) when the system is chaotic. We discuss how this structure could be detected through the quench dynamics of two physical quantities accessible to experimental many-body quantum systems: the survival probability and the spin autocorrelation function. The survival probability is equivalent to the spectral form factor with an additional filter.

IoT is an inevitable technology for smart city infrastructure to ensure seamless communication across multiple nodes. IoT, with its ubiquitous application in every sector, ranging from health-care to transportation, energy, education, and agriculture, comes with serious challenges as well. Among the most significant ones is security since the majority of IoT devices do not encrypt normal data transmissions, making it easier for the network to breach and leak data. Traditional technologies such as CMOS and VLSI have the added disadvantage of consuming high energy, further creating avenues for security threats for IoT systems. To counter such problems, we require a new solution to replace traditional technologies with a secure IoT. In contrast to traditional solutions, quantum-based approaches offer promising solutions by significantly reducing the energy footprint of IoT systems. Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is one such approach and is an advanced nano-technology that exploits quantum principles to achieve complex computations with the advantages of high speed, less occupied area, and low power consumption. By reducing the energy requirements to a minimum, QCA technology makes IoT devices secure. This paper presents a QCA-based Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) as a solution to IoT security problems. The proposed ALU includes more than 12 logical and arithmetic operations and is designed using majority gates, XOR gates, multiplexers, and full adders.

There has been growing interest in studying magnons in the quantum regime, and coherent coupling to other quantum systems has been demonstrated. Here the authors report quantum level magnon squeezing in a millimeter scale yttrium iron garnet sphere, enabled by strong magnon-superconducting qubit coupling.","author":[{"family":"Weng","given":"Yuan"},{"family":"Xu","given":"Da"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zhen"},{"family":"Tan","given":"Li"},{"family":"Gu","given":"Xu"},{"family":"Li","given":"Jie"},{"family":"Yu","given":"Hai"},{"family":"Zhu","given":"Shiyao"},{"family":"Hu","given":"Xuedong"},{"family":"Nori","given":"Franco"},{"family":"You","given":"JQ"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-026-69312-4","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-026-69312-4","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4414461767","type":"article-journal","title":"Optimizing resource allocation in precision farming using quantum enhanced algorithms and quantum sensor networks","abstract":"This study proposes QYieldOpt, a hybrid quantum-classical framework for real-time resource optimization in precision farming, integrating a Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA-R), Quantum Gradient Allocation Optimizer (QGAO), and quantum algorithm for Sensor Feedback Calibration (QSFC). All results presented in this study are based on simulation experiments using realistic agricultural data sets and quantum circuit emulators. Addressing the classical limitations in dynamic, multi-constraint agricultural environments, the system leverages quantum computing parallelism and ultra-sensitive environmental monitoring using quantum sensor networks (QSNs). QAOA-R solves discrete resource allocation (irrigation valve on/off decisions) via cost Hamiltonian optimization, achieving 89% water utilization and 8492 kg yield in the simulations. QGAO refines continuous variables (fertilizer dosage) using quantum-enhanced gradient descent, reducing resource waste by 30% using penalty-augmented utility functions. QSFC dynamically calibrates utility parameters $$\\:{a}_{i},\\:{b}_{i}$$ via quantum sensor data, encoding variables like soil moisture into rotation gates $$\\:{R}_{y}$$ ( $$\\:\\pi\\:{s}_{ij}$$ ) with < 2% spectral error. The closed-loop architecture of the framework enables adaptive adjustments every 15–30 min using real-time QSN feedback. Empirical validation conducted entirely through simulation against classical models (LP, GA, PSO, RL) demonstrated superior performance with 12–18% yield improvements, 22% resource savings, and 4.3 s convergence for 100-zone farms. Under 20% sensor noise, QYieldOpt maintained robustness (R² = 0.919), outperforming classical baselines in terms of accuracy (MAE: 5.41 kg/zone) and scalability (10.6 s for 250 zones). By unifying quantum optimization with high-precision sensing, this study advances sustainable agriculture through energy-efficient resource management, which was validated in simulated and hybrid emulated cloud-edge environments. The modular design ensures theoretical compatibility with existing IoT systems, whereas field trials are essential to establish the practical feasibility of climate-resilient farming. As quantum hardware matures, QYieldOpt paves the way for autonomous and scalable solutions to global food security challenges in the future.","author":[{"family":"Alsagri","given":"Hatoon"},{"family":"Kumar","given":"Ankit"},{"family":"Saudagar","given":"Abdul"},{"family":"Kumar","given":"Abhishek"},{"family":"Raja","given":"Linesh"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1186/s13677-025-00769-2","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s13677-025-00769-2","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4408276647","type":"article-journal","title":"Realizing permutation gates with phi-bits: Acoustic quantum analogue computing","abstract":"We present both the theoretical framework and experimental implementation of permutation gates using logical phi-bits, classical acoustic analogs of qubits.

A generalized degenerate (GD) string extends this notion to the sequence of sets of strings, where strings of the same set are of equal length. Finding an exact match for a pattern string inside a GD string can be done in $O(mn+N)$ time (Ascone et al., WABI 2024), where $m$ is the pattern length, $n$ is the number of strings and $N$ the total length of strings constituting the GD string.

However, the greatest impediment to realizing its full potential is noise that is inherent to these systems. The widely accepted solution to this challenge is the implementation of fault-tolerant quantum circuits, which is out of reach for current processors. Here we report experiments on a noisy 127-qubit processor and demonstrate the measurement of accurate expectation values for circuit volumes at a scale beyond brute-force classical computation. We argue that this represents evidence for the utility of quantum computing in a pre-fault-tolerant era. These experimental results are enabled by advances in the coherence and calibration of a superconducting processor at this scale and the ability to characterize 1 and controllably manipulate noise across such a large device.

During the operation of an error-corrected algorithm, leakage builds over time and spreads through multi-qubit interactions. This leads to correlated errors that degrade the exponential suppression of the logical error with scale, thus challenging the feasibility of quantum error correction as a path towards fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here, we demonstrate a distance-3 surface code and distance-21 bit-flip code on a quantum processor for which leakage is removed from all qubits in each cycle. This shortens the lifetime of leakage and curtails its ability to spread and induce correlated errors. We report a tenfold reduction in the steady-state leakage population of the data qubits encoding the logical state and an average leakage population of less than 1 × 10 −3 throughout the entire device. Our leakage removal process efficiently returns the system back to the computational basis. Adding it to a code circuit would prevent leakage from inducing correlated error across cycles. With this demonstration that leakage can be contained, we have resolved a key challenge for practical quantum error correction at scale.","author":[{"family":"Miao","given":"Kevin"},{"family":"Mcewen","given":"Matt"},{"family":"Atalaya","given":"Juan"},{"family":"Kafri","given":"Dvir"},{"family":"Pryadko","given":"Leonid"},{"family":"Bengtsson","given":"Andreas"},{"family":"Opremcak","given":"Alex"},{"family":"Satzinger","given":"Kevin"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zijun"},{"family":"Klimov","given":"Paul"},{"family":"Quintana","given":"Chris"},{"family":"Acharya","given":"Rajeev"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41567-023-02226-w","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-023-02226-w","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.1103/physrevlett.132.150607","type":"article-journal","title":"Autonomous Quantum Error Correction of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill States.","abstract":"The Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code encodes a logical qubit into a bosonic system with resilience against single-photon loss, the predominant error in most bosonic systems.

Bosonic code spaces, where single-photon loss represents the dominant source of error, are promising candidates for AQEC due to their flexibility and controllability. While existing proposals have demonstrated the in-principle feasibility of AQEC with bosonic code spaces, these schemes are typically based on the exact implementation of the Knill-Laflamme conditions and thus require the realization of Hamiltonian distances d≥2. Implementing such Hamiltonian distances requires multiple nonlinear interactions and control fields, rendering these schemes experimentally challenging. Here, we propose a bosonic code for approximate AQEC by relaxing the Knill-Laflamme conditions. Using reinforcement learning (RL), we identify the optimal bosonic set of code words (denoted here by RL code), which, surprisingly, is composed of the Fock states |2⟩ and |4⟩. As we show, the RL code, despite its approximate nature, successfully suppresses single-photon loss, reducing it to an effective dephasing process that well surpasses the break-even threshold. It may thus provide a valuable building block toward full error protection. The error-correcting Hamiltonian, which includes ancilla systems that emulate the engineered dissipation, is entirely based on the Hamiltonian distance d=1, significantly reducing model complexity. Single-qubit gates are implemented in the RL code with a maximum distance d_{g}=2.","author":[{"family":"Zeng","given":"Ye‐xiong"},{"family":"Zhou","given":"Zhengyang"},{"family":"Rinaldi","given":"Enrico"},{"family":"Gneiting","given":"Clemens"},{"family":"Nori","given":"Franco"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevlett.131.050601","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.131.050601","source":"europepmc"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41467-023-38247-5","type":"article-journal","title":"Demonstrating multi-round subsystem quantum error correction using matching and maximum likelihood decoders.","abstract":"Quantum error correction offers a promising path for performing high fidelity quantum computations.

The rapid development of hardware devices with various realizations of qubits enables the execution of small-scale but representative applications on quantum computers. In particular, the high-energy physics community plays a pivotal role in accessing the power of quantum computing, since the field is a driving source for challenging computational problems. This concerns, on the theoretical side, the exploration of models that are very hard or even impossible to address with classical techniques and, on the experimental side, the enormous data challenge of newly emerging experiments, such as the upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. In this Roadmap paper, led by CERN, DESY, and IBM, we provide the status of high-energy physics quantum computations and give examples of theoretical and experimental target benchmark applications, which can be addressed in the near future.

With the network and communication functionalities provided by the Quantum Internet, Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) is considered as a scalable approach for increasing the number of available qubits for computational tasks. For DQC to be effective and efficient, a quantum compiler must find the best partitioning for the quantum algorithm and then perform smart remote operation scheduling to optimize EPR pair consumption. At the same time, the quantum compiler should also find the best local transformation for each partition. In this paper we present a modular quantum compilation framework for DQC that takes into account both network and device constraints and characteristics. We implemented and tested a quantum compiler based on the proposed framework with some circuits of interest, such as the VQE and QFT ones, considering different network topologies, with quantum processors characterized by heavy-hexagon coupling maps. We also devised a strategy for remote scheduling that can exploit both TeleGate and TeleData operations and tested the impact of using either only TeleGates or both. The evaluation results show that TeleData operations can have a positive impact on the number of consumed EPR pairs, depending on the characteristic of compiled circuit. Meanwhile, choosing a more connected network topology helps reduce the number of layers dedicated to remote operations.","author":[{"family":"Ferrari","given":"Davide"},{"family":"Carretta","given":"Stefano"},{"family":"Amoretti","given":"Michele"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1109/tqe.2023.3303935","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/tqe.2023.3303935","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4404567563","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Computing: Navigating the Future of Computation, Challenges, and Technological Breakthroughs","abstract":"Quantum computing stands at the precipice of technological revolution, promising unprecedented computational capabilities to tackle some of humanity’s most complex problems.

With their unique optical properties, such as tunable fluorescence, high quantum yield, and photostability, CQDs enable precise bioimaging and sensitive biosensing. Their small size, biocompatibility, and ease of surface functionalization allow for the development of targeted drug delivery systems, enhancing therapeutic precision and minimizing side effects.

Despite their accuracy and sophistication, neural networks can be easily fooled by carefully designed malicious inputs known as adversarial attacks. While such vulnerabilities remain a serious challenge for classical neural networks, the extent of their existence is not fully understood in the quantum ML setting. In this paper, we benchmark the robustness of quantum ML networks, such as quantum variational classifiers (QVC), at scale by performing rigorous training for both simple and complex image datasets and through a variety of high-end adversarial attacks. Our results show that QVCs offer a notably enhanced robustness against classical adversarial attacks by learning features, which are not detected by the classical neural networks, indicating a possible quantum advantage for ML tasks. Contrarily, and remarkably, the converse is not true, with attacks on quantum networks also capable of deceiving classical neural networks. By combining quantum and classical network outcomes, we propose an adversarial attack detection technology. Traditionally quantum advantage in ML systems has been sought through increased accuracy or algorithmic speed-up, but our study has revealed the potential for a kind of quantum advantage through superior robustness of ML models, whose practical realization will address serious security concerns and reliability issues of ML algorithms employed in a myriad of applications including autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity, and surveillance robotic systems.","author":[{"family":"West","given":"Maxwell"},{"family":"Erfani","given":"Sarah"},{"family":"Leckie","given":"Christopher"},{"family":"Sevior","given":"ME"},{"family":"Hollenberg","given":"Lloyd"},{"family":"Usman","given":"Muhammad"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevresearch.5.023186","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.5.023186","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4388366447","type":"article-journal","title":"Framework for understanding quantum computing use cases from a multidisciplinary perspective and future research directions","abstract":"Recently, there has been increasing awareness of the tremendous opportunities inherent in quantum computing (QC).

A growing body of research into early fault-tolerant quantum computing (EFTQC) is exploring how to utilize quantum computers during the transition between these two eras. However, without agreed-upon characterizations of this transition, it is unclear how best to utilize EFTQC architectures. We argue for the perspective that this transition period will be characterized by a law of diminishing returns in quantum error correction (QEC), where the ability of the architecture to maintain quality operations at scale determines the point of diminishing returns. Two challenges emerge from this picture: how to model this phenomenon of diminishing return of QEC as the performance of devices is continually improving and how to design algorithms to make the most use of these devices. To address these challenges, we present models for the performance of EFTQC architectures, capturing the diminishing returns of QEC. We then use these models to elucidate the regimes in which algorithms suited to such architectures are advantageous. As a concrete example, we show that for the canonical task of phase estimation, in a regime of moderate scalability and using just over one million physical qubits, the “reach” of the quantum computer can be extended (compared to the standard approach) from 90-qubit instances to over 130-qubit instances using a simple early fault-tolerant quantum algorithm, which reduces the number of operations per circuit by a factor of 100 and increases the number of circuit repetitions by a factor of 10 000. This clarifies the role that such algorithms might play in the era of limited-scalability quantum computing.

Quantum error correction becomes practically realizable once the physical error rate is below a threshold value that depends on the choice of quantum code, syndrome measurement circuit and decoding algorithm 5 .

The syndrome measurement cycle for a length- n code in our family requires n ancillary qubits and a depth-8 circuit with CNOT gates, qubit initializations and measurements. The required qubit connectivity is a degree-6 graph composed of two edge-disjoint planar subgraphs.

Inspired by recent advances using classical shadows in quantum state tomography [H.-Y. Huang, R. Kueng, and J. Preskill, .], we have developed ShadowQPT, a classical shadow method for quantum process tomography. We introduce two related formulations with and without ancilla qubits. ShadowQPT stochastically reconstructs the Choi matrix of the device allowing for an classical evaluation of the device on arbitrary inputs with respect to arbitrary outputs. Using shadows, we then show how to compute overlaps, generate all k -weight reduced processes, and perform reconstruction via Hamiltonian learning. These latter two tasks are efficient for large systems as the number of quantum measurements needed scales only logarithmically with the number of qubits. A number of additional approximations and improvements are developed, including the use of a pair-factorized Clifford shadow and a series of postprocessing techniques that significantly enhance the accuracy for recovering the quantum channel. We have implemented ShadowQPT using both Pauli and Clifford measurements on the IonQ trapped ion quantum computer for quantum processes up to n=4 qubits, and we achieved good performance.

While its application to time-series analysis is eagerly anticipated, prevailing approaches suffer from the collapse of the quantum state upon measurement, resulting in the erasure of temporal input memories. Neither repeated initializations nor weak measurements offer a fundamental solution, as the former escalates the time complexity while the latter restricts the information extraction from the Hilbert space. To address this issue, we propose the feedback-driven QRC framework. This methodology employs projective measurements on all qubits for unrestricted access to the quantum state, with the measurement outcomes subsequently fed back into the reservoir to restore the memory of prior inputs. We demonstrate that our QRC successfully acquires the fading-memory property through the feedback connections, a critical aspect in time-series processing. Notably, analysis of measurement trajectories reveals three distinct phases depending on the feedback strength, with the memory performance maximized at the edge of chaos. We also evaluate the predictive capabilities of our QRC, demonstrating its suitability for forecasting signals originating from quantum spin systems.

Among other attractive properties, when training a kernel-based model one is guaranteed to find the optimal model's parameters due to the convexity of the training landscape. However, this is based on the assumption that the quantum kernel can be efficiently obtained from quantum hardware. In this work we study the performance of quantum kernel models from the perspective of the resources needed to accurately estimate kernel values. We show that, under certain conditions, values of quantum kernels over different input data can be exponentially concentrated (in the number of qubits) towards some fixed value. Thus on training with a polynomial number of measurements, one ends up with a trivial model where the predictions on unseen inputs are independent of the input data. We identify four sources that can lead to concentration including expressivity of data embedding, global measurements, entanglement and noise. For each source, an associated concentration bound of quantum kernels is analytically derived. Lastly, we show that when dealing with classical data, training a parametrized data embedding with a kernel alignment method is also susceptible to exponential concentration. Our results are verified through numerical simulations for several QML tasks. Altogether, we provide guidelines indicating that certain features should be avoided to ensure the efficient evaluation of quantum kernels and so the performance of quantum kernel methods.","author":[{"family":"Thanasilp","given":"Supanut"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Samson"},{"family":"Cerezo","given":"M"},{"family":"Holmes","given":"Zoë"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-024-49287-w","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-49287-w","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391542475","type":"article-journal","title":"Variational quantum time evolution without the quantum geometric tensor","abstract":"Real- and imaginary-time quantum state evolutions are crucial in physics and chemistry for exploring quantum dynamics, preparing ground states, and computing thermodynamic observables.

To prepare students for such opportunities, it is important to give them a strong foundation in the basics of QISE, in which quantum computing plays a central role. In this study, we discuss the development, validation, and evaluation of a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial, on the basics and applications of quantum computing. These include an overview of key quantum mechanical concepts relevant to quantum computation (including ways a quantum computer is different from a classical computer), properties of single- and multiqubit systems, and the basics of single-qubit quantum gates. The tutorial uses guided inquiry-based teaching-learning sequences. Its development and validation involved conducting cognitive task analysis from both expert and student perspectives and using common student difficulties as a guide. For example, before engaging with the tutorial, after traditional lecture-based instruction, one reasoning primitive that was common in student responses is that a major difference between an N -bit classical and N -qubit quantum computer is that various things associated with a number N for a classical computer should be replaced with the number 2 N for a quantum computer (e.g., 2 N qubits must be initialized and 2 N bits of information are obtained as the output of the computation on the quantum computer). This type of reasoning primitive also led many students to incorrectly think that there are only N distinctly different states available when computation takes place on a classical computer. Research suggests that this type of reasoning primitive has its origins in students learning that quantum computers can provide exponential advantage for certain problems, e.g., Shor’s algorithm for factoring products of large prime numbers, and that the quantum state during the computation can be in a superposition of 2 N linearly independent states. The inquiry-based learning sequences in the tutorial provide scaffolding support to help students develop a functional understanding. The final version of the validated tutorial was implemented in two distinct courses offered by the physics department with slightly different student populations and broader course goals. Students’ understanding was evaluated after traditional lecture-based instruction on the requisite concepts and again after engaging with the tutorial. We analyze and discuss their improvement in performance on concepts covered in the tutorial.

Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, which have tens to hundreds of noisy physical qubits, are gradually becoming available, but it is still challenging to achieve useful quantum advantages in meaningful tasks. On the other hand, full fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) based on quantum error correction code remains far beyond realization due to its extremely large requirement of high-precision physical qubits. In this study, we propose a quantum computing architecture to close the gap between NISQ and FTQC architectures. Our architecture is based on erroneous arbitrary rotation gates and error-corrected Clifford gates implemented by lattice surgery. We omit the typical distillation protocol to achieve direct analog rotations and small qubit requirements, and minimize the remnant errors of the rotations by a carefully designed state injection protocol. Our estimation based on numerical simulations shows that for early-FTQC devices that consist of 104 physical qubits with physical error probability p=10−4 , we can perform roughly 1.72×107 Clifford operations and 3.75×104 arbitrary rotations on 64 logical qubits. Such computations cannot be realized by the existing NISQ and FTQC architectures on the same device, as well as classical computers. We hope that our proposal and the corresponding development of quantum algorithms based on it will bring new insights into the realization of practical quantum computers in the future.

Over the last decade, lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals have rapidly gained prominence as efficient semiconductors. Although the majority of studies have focused on large nanocrystals in the weak- to intermediate-confinement regime, quantum dots (QDs) in the strongly-confined regime (with sizes smaller than the Bohr diameter, which ranges from 4-12 nm for lead-halide perovskites) offer unique opportunities, including polarized light emission and color-pure, stable luminescence in the region that is unattainable by perovskites with single-halide compositions.

Quantum computing, with its unique capabilities, holds the potential to revolutionize various aspects of healthcare. This narrative review critically examines the existing literature on the application of quantum computing in healthcare, focusing on its utility in enhancing diagnostics, data processing, and treatment planning. Quantum computing's ability to handle large, complex datasets more efficiently than classical computers can significantly impact domains such as genomics, medical imaging, and personalized medicine. Quantum algorithms can accelerate the identification of genetic markers associated with diseases, facilitate the analysis of medical images, and optimize treatment plans based on individual genetic profiles. Moreover, quantum cryptography offers a robust security solution for safeguarding sensitive patient data, a critical need as healthcare increasingly relies on digital platforms. Despite the promising outlook, the integration of quantum computing into healthcare faces technical, ethical, and regulatory challenges. The delicate nature of quantum hardware, the need for error correction, and the scalability of quantum systems pose barriers to widespread adoption. Additionally, concerns around patient privacy and data security, as well as the need for updated regulatory frameworks, must be addressed. Ongoing research and collaborative efforts involving researchers, healthcare providers, and technology developers are crucial to overcoming these hurdles and realizing the full potential of quantum computing in transforming healthcare. As quantum computing continues to evolve, its impact on the future of healthcare could be profound, leading to earlier disease detection, more personalized treatments, and improved patient outcomes.

For isolated quantum many-body systems, such a description is achieved via the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), which links thermalization, ergodicity and quantum chaotic behavior. However, tendency towards thermalization is not observed at finite system sizes and evolution times in a robust many-body localization (MBL) regime found numerically and experimentally in the dynamics of interacting many-body systems at strong disorder. Although the phenomenology of the MBL regime is well-established, the central question remains unanswered: under what conditions does the MBL regime give rise to an MBL phase , in which the thermalization does not occur even in the asymptotic limit of infinite system size and evolution time? This review focuses on recent numerical investigations aiming to clarify the status of the MBL phase, and it establishes the critical open questions about the dynamics of disordered many-body systems. The last decades of research have brought an unprecedented new variety of tools and indicators to study the breakdown of ergodicity, ranging from spectral and wave function measures, matrix elements of observables, through quantities probing unitary quantum dynamics, to transport and quantum information measures. We give a comprehensive overview of these approaches and attempt to provide a unified understanding of their main features. We emphasize general trends towards ergodicity with increasing length and time scales, which exclude naive single-parameter scaling hypothesis, necessitate the use of more refined scaling procedures, and prevent unambiguous extrapolations of numerical results to the asymptotic limit. Providing a concise description of numerical methods for studying ETH and MBL, we explore various approaches to tackle the question of the MBL phase. Persistent finite size drifts towards ergodicity consistently emerge in quantities derived from eigenvalues and eigenvectors of disordered many-body systems. The drifts are related to continuous inching towards ergodicity and non-vanishing transport observed in the dynamics of many-body systems, even at strong disorder. These phenomena impede the understanding of microscopic processes at the ETH-MBL crossover. Nevertheless, the abrupt slowdown of dynamics with increasing disorder strength provides premises suggesting the proximity of the MBL phase. This review concludes that the questions about thermalization and its failure in disordered many-body systems remain a captivating area open for further explorations.","author":[{"family":"Sierant","given":"Piotr"},{"family":"Lewenstein","given":"Maciej"},{"family":"Scardicchio","given":"Antonello"},{"family":"Vidmar","given":"Lev"},{"family":"Zakrzewski","given":"Jakub"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1088/1361-6633/ad9756","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6633/ad9756","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391632118","type":"article-journal","title":"Classical and quantum computing of shear viscosity for ( 2 + 1 ) D SU(2) gauge theory","abstract":"We perform a nonperturbative calculation of the shear viscosity for ( 2 + 1 )-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory by using the lattice Hamiltonian formulation. The retarded Green’s function of the stress-energy tensor is calculated from real time evolution via exact diagonalization of the lattice Hamiltonian with a local Hilbert space truncation, and the shear viscosity is obtained via the Kubo formula. When taking the continuum limit, we account for the renormalization group flow of the coupling but no additional operator renormalization. We find the ratio of the shear viscosity and the entropy density η s is consistent with a well-known holographic result 1 4 π at several temperatures on a 4 × 4 honeycomb lattice with the local electric representation truncated at j max = 1 2 . We also find the ratio of the spectral function and frequency ρ x y ( ω ) ω exhibits a peak structure when the frequency is small. Both the exact diagonalization method and simple matrix product state classical simulation method beyond j max = 1 2 on bigger lattices require exponentially growing resources. So we develop a quantum computing method to calculate the retarded Green’s function and analyze various systematics of the calculation including j max truncation and finite size effects, Trotter errors and the thermal state preparation efficiency. Our thermal state preparation method still requires resources that grow exponentially with the lattice size, but with a very small prefactor at high temperature. We test our quantum circuit on both the Quantinuum emulator and the IBM simulator for a small lattice and obtain results consistent with the classical computing ones.

This highlights that as quantum computers move toward larger and higher-quality devices, characterization becomes more challenging, suggesting future work required to push performance further.","author":[{"family":"Chen","given":"Jwo"},{"family":"Nielsen","given":"Erik"},{"family":"Ebert","given":"Matthew"},{"family":"Inlek","given":"Volkan"},{"family":"Wright","given":"Kenneth"},{"family":"Chaplin","given":"V"},{"family":"Maksymov","given":"Andrii"},{"family":"Páez","given":"Eduardo"},{"family":"Poudel","given":"Amrit"},{"family":"Maunz","given":"Peter"},{"family":"Gamble","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.22331/q-2024-11-07-1516","URL":"https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2024-11-07-1516","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4403708064","type":"article-journal","title":"Dissecting the hydrogen bond network of water: Charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects","abstract":"The molecular structure of water is dynamic, with intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond interactions being modified by both electronic charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects (NQEs).

In this work, we introduced the novel Fragment Molecular Orbital/Variational Quantum Eigensolver (FMO/VQE) algorithm. This method combines the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) approach with VQE and efficiently utilizes qubits for quantum chemistry simulations. Employing the UCCSD ansatz, the FMO/VQE achieved an absolute error of just 0.053 mHa with 8 qubits in a [Formula: see text] system using the STO-3G basis set, and an error of 1.376 mHa with 16 qubits in a [Formula: see text] system with the 6-31G basis set. These results indicated a significant advancement in scalability over conventional VQE, maintaining accuracy with fewer qubits.

Rev. A , 2117 (1994)]. As a new perspective, we propose that ultrafast strong-field electronic or photonic processes such as high-harmonic generation can potentially generate nonclassical states of light well before the decoherence of the system occurs [Gorlach , Nat. Commun. , 4598 (2020); Stammer ., Phys. Rev. Lett. , 123603 (2022)]. This could address fundamental challenges in quantum technology such as scalability, decoherence, or the generation of massively entangled states [Lewenstein , Luca Argenti Michael Chini, 27 (2024)]. Here, we report experimental evidence of the nonclassical nature of the harmonic emission in several semiconductors excited by a femtosecond infrared laser. By investigating single- and double-beam intensity cross-correlation [Loudon, Rep. Prog. Phys. , 913 (1980)], we measure characteristic nonclassical features in the single-photon statistics. We observe two-mode squeezing in the generated harmonic radiation, which depends on the laser intensity that governs the transition from super-Poissonian to Poissonian photon statistics. The measured violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality realizes a direct test of multipartite entanglement in high-harmonic generation [Wasak, Phys. Rev. A , 033616 (2014)]. This result is supported by the theory of multimodal detection and the Hamiltonian from which the effective squeezing modes of the harmonics can be derived [Gonoskov , Phys. Rev. B , 125110 (2024); Christ New J. Phys. , 033027 (2011)]. With this work, we show experimentally that high-harmonic generation is a new quantum bosonic platform that intrinsically produces nonclassical states of light with unique features such as multipartite broadband entanglement or multimode squeezing. The source operates at room temperature, using standard semiconductors and a standard commercial fiber laser, opening up new routes for the quantum industry, such as optical quantum computing, communication, and imaging.

Here we provide an intrinsic characterization of the breakdown of topological quantum memory, which both gives a bound on the performance of decoding algorithms and provides examples of topologically distinct mixed states. We employ three information-theoretical quantities that can be regarded as generalizations of the diagnostics of ground-state topological order, and serve as a definition for topological order in error-corrupted mixed states. We consider the topological contribution to entanglement negativity and two other metrics based on quantum relative entropy and coherent information. In the concrete example of the two-dimensional (2D) Toric code with local bit-flip and phase errors, we map three quantities to observables in 2D classical spin models and analytically show they all undergo a transition at the same error threshold. This threshold is an upper bound on that achieved in any decoding algorithm and is indeed saturated by that in the optimal decoding algorithm for the Toric code.

We answer this question by establishing a general, efficiently computable upper bound on the maximal LOCC simulation fidelity—what we call an “LOCC inequality.” We then apply our findings to the fundamental setting where U implements a quantum Newtonian Hamiltonian over a gravitationally interacting system. Violation of our LOCC inequality can rule out the LOCCness of the underlying evolution, thereby establishing the nonclassicality of the gravitational dynamics, which can no longer be explained by a local classical field. As a prominent application of this scheme we study systems of quantum harmonic oscillators initialized in coherent states following a normal distribution and interacting via Newtonian gravity, and discuss a possible physical implementation with torsion pendula. One of our main technical contributions is the analytical calculation of the above LOCC inequality for this family of systems. As opposed to existing tests based on the detection of gravitationally mediated entanglement, our proposal works with coherent states alone, and thus it does not require the generation of largely delocalized states of motion nor the detection of entanglement, which is never created at any point in the process.

Recently, error mitigation has been successfully applied to reduce noise in near-term applications. In this work, however, we identify strong limitations to the degree to which quantum noise can be effectively 'undone' for larger system sizes. Our framework rigorously captures large classes of error-mitigation schemes in use today. By relating error mitigation to a statistical inference problem, we show that even at shallow circuit depths comparable to those of current experiments, a superpolynomial number of samples is needed in the worst case to estimate the expectation values of noiseless observables, the principal task of error mitigation. Notably, our construction implies that scrambling due to noise can kick in at exponentially smaller depths than previously thought. Noise also impacts other near-term applications by constraining kernel estimation in quantum machine learning, causing an earlier emergence of noise-induced barren plateaus in variational quantum algorithms and ruling out exponential quantum speed-ups in estimating expectation values in the presence of noise or preparing the ground state of a Hamiltonian.","author":[{"family":"Quek","given":"Yihui"},{"family":"França","given":"Daniel"},{"family":"Khatri","given":"Sumeet"},{"family":"Meyer","given":"Johannes"},{"family":"Eisert","given":"Jens"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41567-024-02536-7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-024-02536-7","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4392165561","type":"article-journal","title":"QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY AND U.S. DIGITAL SECURITY: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW: INVESTIGATING THE POTENTIAL OF QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES IN CREATING UNBREAKABLE ENCRYPTION AND THEIR FUTURE IN NATIONAL SECURITY","abstract":"This study provides a comprehensive review of quantum cryptography and its implications for U.S. national security in the face of emerging quantum technologies.

The initialization of the hadron wave packet is performed in two steps. First, the vacuum is prepared across the whole lattice using the recently developed SC-ADAPT-VQE algorithm and workflow. SC-ADAPT-VQE is then extended to the preparation of localized states, and used to establish a hadron wave packet on top of the vacuum. This is done by adaptively constructing low-depth circuits that maximize the overlap with an adiabatically prepared hadron wave packet. Due to the localized nature of the wavepacket, these circuits can be determined on a sequence of small lattices using classical computers, and then robustly scaled to prepare wave packets on large lattices for simulations using quantum computers. Time evolution is implemented with a second-order Trotterization. To reduce both the required qubit connectivity and circuit depth, an approximate quasilocal interaction is introduced. This approximation is made possible by the emergence of confinement at long distances, and converges exponentially with increasing distance of the interactions. Using multiple error-mitigation strategies, up to 14 Trotter steps of time evolution are performed, employing 13,858 two-qubit gates (with a CNOT depth of 370).

In principle, there is no fundamental limit to the number of ion-based qubits that can be confined in a single 1D register. However, in practice, there are two main issues associated with long trapped-ion crystals, that stem from the “softening” of their modes of motion, upon scaling up: high heating rates of the ions’ motion and a dense motional spectrum; both impede the performance of high-fidelity qubit operations. Here, we propose a holistic, scalable architecture for quantum computing with large ion crystals that overcomes these issues. Our method relies on dynamically operated optical potentials that instantaneously segment the ion crystal into cells of a manageable size. We show that these cells behave as nearly independent quantum registers, allowing for parallel entangling gates on all cells. The ability to reconfigure the optical potentials guarantees connectivity across the full ion crystal and also enables efficient midcircuit measurements. We study the implementation of large-scale parallel multiqubit entangling gates that operate simultaneously on all cells and present a protocol to compensate for crosstalk errors, enabling full-scale usage of an extensively large register. We illustrate that this architecture is advantageous both for fault-tolerant digital quantum computation and for analog quantum simulations.

However, a major obstacle to the widespread use of quantum machine learning models in practice is that these models, even once trained, still require access to a quantum computer in order to be evaluated on new data. To solve this issue, we introduce a class of quantum models where quantum resources are only required during training, while the deployment of the trained model is classical. Specifically, the training phase of our models ends with the generation of a 'shadow model' from which the classical deployment becomes possible. We prove that: (i) this class of models is universal for classically-deployed quantum machine learning; (ii) it does have restricted learning capacities compared to 'fully quantum' models, but nonetheless (iii) it achieves a provable learning advantage over fully classical learners, contingent on widely believed assumptions in complexity theory. These results provide compelling evidence that quantum machine learning can confer learning advantages across a substantially broader range of scenarios, where quantum computers are exclusively employed during the training phase. By enabling classical deployment, our approach facilitates the implementation of quantum machine learning models in various practical contexts.","author":[{"family":"Jerbi","given":"Sofiène"},{"family":"Gyurik","given":"Casper"},{"family":"Marshall","given":"Simon"},{"family":"Molteni","given":"Riccardo"},{"family":"Dunjko","given":"Vedran"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-024-49877-8","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-49877-8","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391091909","type":"article-journal","title":"Theoretical guarantees for permutation-equivariant quantum neural networks","abstract":"Abstract Despite the great promise of quantum machine learning models, there are several challenges one must overcome before unlocking their full potential.

Recently, the nascent field of geometric quantum machine learning (GQML) has emerged as a potential solution to some of those issues. The key insight of GQML is that one should design architectures, such as equivariant QNNs, encoding the symmetries of the problem at hand. Here, we focus on problems with permutation symmetry (i.e., symmetry group Sn), and show how to build Sn-equivariant QNNs We provide an analytical study of their performance, proving that they do not suffer from barren plateaus, quickly reach overparametrization, and generalize well from small amounts of data. To verify our results, we perform numerical simulations for a graph state classification task. Our work provides theoretical guarantees for equivariant QNNs, thus indicating the power and potential of GQML.","author":[{"family":"Schatzki","given":"Louis"},{"family":"Larocca","given":"Martín"},{"family":"Nguyen","given":"Quynh"},{"family":"Sauvage","given":"Frédéric"},{"family":"Cerezo","given":"M"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41534-024-00804-1","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-024-00804-1","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4402216818","type":"article-journal","title":"Thermodynamic computing via autonomous quantum thermal machines","abstract":"We develop a physics-based model for classical computation based on autonomous quantum thermal machines.

Quantum reservoir computing is a computing approach which aims at utilizing the complexity and high dimensionality of small quantum systems, together with the fast trainability of reservoir computing, in order to solve complex tasks. The suitability of quantum reservoir computing for solving temporal tasks is hindered by the collapse of the quantum system when measurements are made. This leads to the erasure of the memory of the reservoir. Hence, for every output, the entire input signal is needed to reinitialize the reservoir, leading to quadratic time complexity. Another critical issue for the hardware implementation of quantum reservoir computing is the need for an experimentally accessible means of tuning the nonlinearity of the quantum reservoir. We present an approach which addresses both of these issues. We propose artificially restricting the memory of the quantum reservoir by only using a small number inputs to reinitialize the reservoir after measurements are performed. This strongly influences the nonlinearity of the reservoir response due to the influence of the initial reservoir state, while also substantially reducing the number of quantum operations needed to perform time-series prediction tasks due to the linear rather than quadratic time complexity. The reinitialization length therefore provides an experimental accessible means of tuning the nonlinearity of the response of the reservoir, which can lead to significant task-specific performance improvement. We numerically study the linear and quadratic algorithms for a fully connected transverse Ising model and a quantum processor model.

Second, quantum computing has demonstrated promising potential in different applications, such as quantum chemistry, combinatorial optimizations, and machine learning. This article explores hybrid quantum-classical generative adversarial networks (GAN) for small molecule discovery. We substituted each element of GAN with a variational quantum circuit (VQC) and demonstrated the quantum advantages in the small drug discovery. Utilizing a VQC in the noise generator of a GAN to generate small molecules achieves better physicochemical properties and performance in the goal-directed benchmark than the classical counterpart. Moreover, we demonstrate the potential of a VQC with only tens of learnable parameters in the generator of GAN to generate small molecules. We also demonstrate the quantum advantage of a VQC in the discriminator of GAN. In this hybrid model, the number of learnable parameters is significantly less than the classical ones, and it can still generate valid molecules. The hybrid model with only tens of training parameters in the quantum discriminator outperforms the MLP-based one in terms of both generated molecule properties and the achieved KL divergence.

They are characterized by many accessible low-energy levels that can be exploited to store and process quantum information. This naturally opens the possibility of using them as qudits, thus enlarging the tools of quantum logic with respect to qubit-based architectures. These additional degrees of freedom recently prompted the proposal for encoding qubits with embedded quantum error correction (QEC) in single molecules. QEC is the holy grail of quantum computing and this qudit approach could circumvent the large overhead of physical qubits typical of standard multi-qubit codes. Another important strength of the molecular approach is the extremely high degree of control achieved in preparing complex supramolecular structures where individual qudits are linked preserving their individual properties and coherence. This is particularly relevant for building quantum simulators, controllable systems able to mimic the dynamics of other quantum objects. The use of MNMs for quantum information processing is a rapidly evolving field which still requires to be fully experimentally explored. The key issues to be settled are related to scaling up the number of qudits/qubits and their individual addressing. Several promising possibilities are being intensively explored, ranging from the use of single-molecule transistors or superconducting devices to optical readout techniques. Moreover, new tools from chemistry could be also at hand, like the chiral-induced spin selectivity. In this paper, we will review the present status of this interdisciplinary research field, discuss the open challenges and envisioned solution paths which could finally unleash the very large potential of molecular spins for quantum technologies.","author":[{"family":"Chiesa","given":"Alessandro"},{"family":"Santini","given":"P"},{"family":"Garlatti","given":"Elena"},{"family":"Luis","given":"Fernando"},{"family":"Carretta","given":"Stefano"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1088/1361-6633/ad1f81","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6633/ad1f81","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4393160287","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum interference enhances the performance of single-molecule transistors","abstract":"Abstract Quantum effects in nanoscale electronic devices promise to lead to new types of functionality not achievable using classical electronic components. However, quantum behaviour also presents an unresolved challenge facing electronics at the few-nanometre scale: resistive channels start leaking owing to quantum tunnelling. This affects the performance of nanoscale transistors, with direct source–drain tunnelling degrading switching ratios and subthreshold swings, and ultimately limiting operating frequency due to increased static power dissipation. The usual strategy to mitigate quantum effects has been to increase device complexity, but theory shows that if quantum effects can be exploited in molecular-scale electronics, this could provide a route to lower energy consumption and boost device performance. Here we demonstrate these effects experimentally, showing how the performance of molecular transistors is improved when the resistive channel contains two destructively interfering waves. We use a zinc-porphyrin coupled to graphene electrodes in a three-terminal transistor to demonstrate a >104 conductance-switching ratio, a subthreshold swing at the thermionic limit, a >7 kHz operating frequency and stability over >105 cycles. We fully map the anti-resonance interference features in conductance, reproduce the behaviour by density functional theory calculations and trace back the high performance to the coupling between molecular orbitals and graphene edge states. These results demonstrate how the quantum nature of electron transmission at the nanoscale can enhance, rather than degrade, device performance, and highlight directions for future development of miniaturized electronics.","author":[{"family":"Chen","given":"Zhixin"},{"family":"Grace","given":"Iain"},{"family":"Woltering","given":"Steffen"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Lina"},{"family":"Gee","given":"Alex"},{"family":"Baugh","given":"Jonathan"},{"family":"Briggs","given":"GAD"},{"family":"Bogani","given":"Lapo"},{"family":"Mol","given":"Jan"},{"family":"Lambert","given":"Colin"},{"family":"Anderson","given":"Harry"},{"family":"Thomas","given":"James"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41565-024-01633-1","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-024-01633-1","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391983890","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum computing and its potential impact on U.S. cybersecurity: A review: Scrutinizing the challenges and opportunities presented by quantum technologies in safeguarding digital assets","abstract":"This study explores the dual impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity, focusing on the challenges it poses to existing cryptographic standards and the opportunities it presents for enhancing secure communication.

A new algorithm to prepare the ground state of a gapped translationally invariant system on a quantum computer is presented, which we call “scalable circuits ADAPT-VQE” (SC-ADAPT-VQE). This algorithm uses the exponential decay of correlations between distant regions of the ground state, together with ADAPT-VQE, to construct quantum circuits for state preparation that can be scaled to arbitrarily large systems. These scalable circuits can be determined with use of classical computers, avoiding the challenging task of optimizing parameterized circuits on a quantum computer. SC-ADAPT-VQE is applied to the Schwinger model, and is shown to be systematically improvable, with an accuracy that converges exponentially with circuit depth. Both the structure of the circuits and the deviations of prepared wave functions are found to become independent of the number of spatial sites, L . This allows a controlled extrapolation of the circuits, determined with use of small or modest-sized systems, to arbitrarily large L . The circuits for the Schwinger model are determined on lattices up to L=14 (28 qubits) with the Qiskit classical simulator, and are subsequently scaled up to prepare the L=50 (100 qubits) vacuum on IBM’s 127-superconducting-qubit quantum computers ibm_brisbane and ibm_cusco.

Therefore, an ideal quantum‐safe framework should efficiently leverage the complementarity of both techniques. However, despite growing efforts in integrating both, current realizations have focused on channel authentication, and a complete cryptosystem addressing both hybrid authentication and hybrid key exchange is yet to be demonstrated.

On distances up to 11, the decoder maintains its advantage on simulated data with realistic noise including cross-talk and leakage, utilizing soft readouts and leakage information. After training on approximate synthetic data, the decoder adapts to the more complex, but unknown, underlying error distribution by training on a limited budget of experimental samples.

We not only discuss typical quantum mechanical problems of the electronic structure of biomolecules in this context, but also consider the dominating classical problems (such as protein folding and drug design) as well as data-driven approaches of bioinformatics and the degree to which they might become amenable to quantum simulation and quantum computation.","author":[{"family":"Baiardi","given":"Alberto"},{"family":"Christandl","given":"Matthias"},{"family":"Reiher","given":"Markus"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1002/cbic.202300120","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/cbic.202300120","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4360602629","type":"article-journal","title":"Software architecture for quantum computing systems — A systematic review","abstract":"Quantum computing systems rely on the principles of quantum mechanics to perform a multitude of computationally challenging tasks more efficiently than their classical counterparts.

Each telegate consists of several tasks: (i) entanglement generation and distribution, (ii) local operations, and (iii) classical communications. Entanglement generations and distribution is an expensive resource, as it is time-consuming.

By using coherence or entanglement to sample the unitary N tot times, the variance of the estimates can scale as O ( 1 / N tot 2 ) , compared to the best “classical” strategy with O ( 1 / N tot ) . The original algorithm for quantum phase estimation cannot be implemented on near-term hardware as it requires large-scale entangled probes and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Therefore, alternative algorithms have been introduced that rely on coherence and statistical inference. These algorithms produce quantum-boosted phase estimates without interprobe entanglement. This family of phase-estimation algorithms have, until now, never exhibited the possibility of achieving optimal scaling O ( 1 / N tot 2 ) . Moreover, previous works have not considered the effect of noise on these algorithms. Here, we present a coherence-based phase-estimation algorithm which can achieve the optimal quadratic scaling in the mean absolute error and the mean squared error. In the presence of noise, our algorithm produces errors that approach the theoretical lower bound.

Neither a two-dimensional nor a three-dimensional topology, however, can provide a universal gate set {, , }, with the gate missing in the two-dimensional and the gate in the three-dimensional case. These complementary shortcomings of the isolated topologies may be overcome in a combined approach, by switching between a two- and a three-dimensional code while maintaining the logical state. In this work, we construct resource-optimized deterministic and nondeterministic code-switching protocols for two- and three-dimensional distance-three color codes using fault-tolerant quantum circuits based on flag qubits. Deterministic protocols allow for the fault-tolerant implementation of logical gates on an encoded quantum state, while nondeterministic protocols may be used for the fault-tolerant preparation of magic states. Taking the error rates of state-of-the-art trapped-ion quantum processors as a reference, we find a logical failure probability of 3% for deterministic logical gates, which cannot be realized transversally in the respective code. By replacing the three-dimensional distance-three color code in the protocol for magic state preparation with the morphed code introduced in Vasmer and Kubica [PRX Quantum 3, 030319 (2022)], we reduce the logical failure rates by 2 orders of magnitude, thus rendering it a viable method for magic state preparation on near-term quantum processors. Our results demonstrate that code switching enables the fault-tolerant and deterministic implementation of a universal gate set under realistic conditions, and thereby provide a practical avenue to advance universal, fault-tolerant quantum computing and enable quantum algorithms on first, error-corrected logical qubits.

With this, we can correct the dominant error sources, namely processes that can be expressed as error operators that are linear or quadratic in the components of angular momentum. Such codes tailored to dominant error sources can exhibit superior thresholds and lower resource overheads when compared to those designed for unstructured noise models. A key component is the gate that preserves the rank of spherical tensor operators. Categorizing the dominant errors as phase and amplitude errors, we demonstrate how phase errors, analogous to phase-flip errors for qubits, can be effectively corrected. Furthermore, we propose a measurement-free error-correction scheme to address amplitude errors without relying on syndrome measurements. Through an in-depth analysis of logical gate errors, we establish that the fault-tolerant threshold for error correction in the spin-cat encoding surpasses that of standard qubit-based encodings. We consider a specific implementation based on neutral-atom quantum computing, with qudits encoded in the nuclear spin of 87 Sr , and show how to generate the universal gate set, including the rank-preserving gate, using quantum control and the Rydberg blockade.

Although a true topological phase would require long chains, a two-site chain realized in a double quantum dot can already be tuned to points in parameter space where it hosts zero-energy states that seem identical to the Majorana bound states that characterize a topological phase. These states have been named “poor man’s Majorana bound states” (PMMs) because they lack formal topological protection. In this work, we propose a pathway for next-generation experiments on PMMs. The pathway starts with experiments to characterize a single pair of PMMs by measuring the Majorana quality and then moves on to initialization and readout of the parity of a PMM pair, which allows the measurement of quasiparticle poisoning times. The next step is to couple two PMM systems to form a qubit. We discuss measurements of the coherence time of such a qubit, as well as a test of Majorana fusion rules in the same setup. Finally, we propose and analyze three different types of braidinglike experiments that require more complex device geometries. Our conclusions are supported by calculations based on a realistic model with interacting and spinful quantum dots, as well as by simpler models to gain physical insight. Our calculations show that it is indeed possible to demonstrate non-Abelian physics in minimal two-site Kitaev chains despite the lack of a true topological phase. However, our findings also reveal that doing so requires some extra care, appropriately modified protocols, and awareness of the details of this particular platform.

In this paper we demonstrate that the simulation of limits can be a potent diagnostic tool for the resilience of quantum information hardware against chaotic instabilities potentially mitigating this problem. As a testbed for our approach we consider the transmon qubit processor, a computing platform in which the coupling of large numbers of nonlinear quantum oscillators may trigger destabilizing chaotic resonances. We find that classical and quantum simulations lead to similar stability metrics (classical Lyapunov exponents vs quantum wave function participation ratios) in systems with O ( 10 ) transmons. However, the big advantage of classical simulation is that it can be pushed to large systems comprising up to thousands of qubits. We exhibit the utility of this classical toolbox by simulating all current IBM transmon chips, including the 433-qubit processor of the Osprey generation, as well as devices with 1 121 qubits (Condor generation).

For example, we obtain a circuit depth improvement by up to 6 orders of magnitude for a Trotter layer of time-dynamics simulation in the transition-metal oxide SrVO3compared with the best previous quantum algorithms. We achieve this by introducing a collection of connected techniques, including highly localised and physically compact representations of materials Hamiltonians in the Wannier basis, a hybrid fermion-to-qubit mapping, and an efficient circuit compiler. Combined together, these methods leverage locality of materials Hamiltonians and result in a design that generates quantum circuits with depth independent of the system’s size.

Forty years since the first discoveries of topological phases in condensed matter, the abstract concept of band topology has sprung into realization with several materials now available in which sizable bulk energy gaps—up to a few hundred meV—promise to enable topology for applications even at room-temperature. Further, the possibility of combining 2D TIs in heterostructures with functional materials such as multiferroics, ferromagnets, and superconductors, vastly extends the range of applicability beyond their intrinsic properties.

First, by introducing decoding graphs with error-rate-related weights, we obtain the threshold of 0.47 % of the 6.6.6 triangular color code under the standard circuit-level noise model, narrowing the gap to that of the surface code. Second, our work first investigates the circuit-level decoding of color code lattice surgery, then gives an efficient decoding algorithm, which is crucial to perform logical operations in a quantum computer with two-dimensional architectures. Last, a state injection protocol of the triangular color code is proposed, reducing the output magic state error rate in one round of 15 to 1 distillation by two orders of magnitude compared to a previous rough protocol. We also prove that our protocol offers the lowest logical error rates for state injection among all possible codes.

Current quantum hardware is noisy, can only store information for a short time and is limited to a few quantum bits, that is, qubits, typically arranged in a planar connectivity1. However, many applications of quantum computing require more connectivity than the planar lattice offered by the hardware on more qubits than is available on a single quantum processing unit (QPU). The community hopes to tackle these limitations by connecting QPUs using classical communication, which has not yet been proven experimentally. Here we experimentally realize error-mitigated dynamic circuits and circuit cutting to create quantum states requiring periodic connectivity using up to 142 qubits spanning two QPUs with 127 qubits each connected in real time with a classical link. In a dynamic circuit, quantum gates can be classically controlled by the outcomes of mid-circuit measurements within run-time, that is, within a fraction of the coherence time of the qubits. Our real-time classical link enables us to apply a quantum gate on one QPU conditioned on the outcome of a measurement on another QPU. Furthermore, the error-mitigated control flow enhances qubit connectivity and the instruction set of the hardware thus increasing the versatility of our quantum computers. Our work demonstrates that we can use several quantum processors as one with error-mitigated dynamic circuits enabled by a real-time classical link. A 142-qubit processor can be realized by connecting two smaller quantum processors using classical communications and circuit cutting.","author":[{"family":"Vazquez","given":"Almudena"},{"family":"Tornow","given":"Caroline"},{"family":"Ristè","given":"Diego"},{"family":"Woerner","given":"Stefan"},{"family":"Takita","given":"Maika"},{"family":"Egger","given":"Daniel"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-024-08178-2","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-08178-2","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4402692326","type":"article-journal","title":"Review of medical image processing using quantum-enabled algorithms","abstract":"Efficient and reliable storage, analysis, and transmission of medical images are imperative for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and management of various diseases.

While single-photon qubits may be processed directly, “brighter” logical qubits may be embedded in individual oscillator modes, using so-called bosonic codes, for an in-principle fault-tolerant processing. In this paper, we show how elements of all-optical, universal, and fault-tolerant quantum computation can be implemented using only beam splitters together with single-mode cubic phase gates in reasonable numbers, and possibly off-line squeezed-state or single-photon resources. Our approach is based on a decomposition technique combining exact gate decompositions and approximate Trotterization. This allows for efficient decompositions of certain nonlinear continuous-variable multimode gates into the elementary gates, where the few cubic gates needed may even be weak or all identical, thus facilitating potential experiments. The final gate operations include two-mode controlled phase rotation and three-mode Rabi-type Hamiltonian gates, which are shown to be employable for realizing high-fidelity single-photon two-qubit entangling gates or creating high-quality Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states.

Two major challenges that could become fundamental roadblocks are manufacturing high-performance quantum hardware and engineering a control system that can reach its performance limits. The control challenge of scaling quantum gates from small to large processors without degrading performance often maps to non-convex, high-constraint, and time-dynamic control optimization over an exponentially expanding configuration space. Here we report on a control optimization strategy that can scalably overcome the complexity of such problems. We demonstrate it by choreographing the frequency trajectories of 68 frequency-tunable superconducting qubits to execute single- and two-qubit gates while mitigating computational errors. When combined with a comprehensive model of physical errors across our processor, the strategy suppresses physical error rates by ~3.7× compared with the case of no optimization. Furthermore, it is projected to achieve a similar performance advantage on a distance-23 surface code logical qubit with 1057 physical qubits. Our control optimization strategy solves a generic scaling challenge in a way that can be adapted to a variety of quantum operations, algorithms, and computing architectures.","author":[{"family":"Klimov","given":"Paul"},{"family":"Bengtsson","given":"Andreas"},{"family":"Quintana","given":"Chris"},{"family":"Bourassa","given":"Alexandre"},{"family":"Hong","given":"Sabrina"},{"family":"Dunsworth","given":"A"},{"family":"Satzinger","given":"Kevin"},{"family":"Livingston","given":"William"},{"family":"Sivak","given":"Volodymyr"},{"family":"Niu","given":"Murphy"},{"family":"Andersen","given":"Trond"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Yaxing"},{"family":"Chik","given":"Desmond"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zijun"},{"family":"Neill","given":"Charles"},{"family":"Erickson","given":"Catherine"},{"family":"Dau","given":"Alejandro"},{"family":"Megrant","given":"A"},{"family":"Roushan","given":"P"},{"family":"Korotkov","given":"Alexander"},{"family":"Kelly","given":"J"},{"family":"Smelyanskiy","given":"Vadim"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Yu"},{"family":"Neven","given":"Hartmut"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-024-46623-y","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-46623-y","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4403128383","type":"article-journal","title":"Leveraging analog quantum computing with neutral atoms for solvent configuration prediction in drug discovery","abstract":"We introduce an approach to sampling equilibrium solvent water molecule configurations within proteins that leverages analog quantum computing.

The intrinsic quantum nature of such coupling guarantees molecules not to be placed too close to each other, a constraint usually imposed by hand in classical approaches. We present first a full quantum adiabatic evolution model that uses a local Rydberg Hamiltonian to cast the general problem into an antiferromagnetic Ising model.

Following a classical emulator implementation, a QPU portage allows to experimentally validate the algorithm performances on an actual quantum computer. As a perspective of use on next generation devices, we emulate a second hybrid quantum-classical version of the algorithm.

These findings indicate qubit shuttling as an effective approach to route qubits within registers and to establish quantum links between registers.","author":[{"family":"Riggelen","given":"FV"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Chien"},{"family":"Snoo","given":"Sander"},{"family":"Lawrie","given":"William"},{"family":"Hendrickx","given":"Nico"},{"family":"Russ","given":"Maximilian"},{"family":"Sammak","given":"Amir"},{"family":"Scappucci","given":"Giordano"},{"family":"Déprez","given":"Corentin"},{"family":"Veldhorst","given":"Menno"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-024-49358-y","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-49358-y","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4396614832","type":"article-journal","title":"Nuclear Physics in the Era of Quantum Computing and Quantum Machine Learning","abstract":"Abstract In this paper, the application of quantum simulations and quantum machine learning is explored to solve problems in low‐energy nuclear physics.

Such requirements make the development and implementation of these applications complex and challenging. Computing models, such as cloud computing, can provide applications with on-demand computation and storage resources to meet their needs. Although cloud computing is a great enabler for IoT and endpoint devices, its limitations make it unsuitable to fulfill all design goals of novel applications and use cases. Instead of only relying on cloud computing, leveraging and integrating resources at different layers (like IoT, edge, and cloud) is necessary to form and utilize a computing continuum. The layers’ integration in the computing continuum offers a wide range of innovative services, but it introduces new challenges (e.g., monitoring performance and ensuring security) that need to be investigated. A better grasp and more profound understanding of the computing continuum can guide researchers and developers in tackling and overcoming such challenges. Thus, this paper provides a comprehensive and unified view of the computing continuum. The paper discusses computing models in general with a focus on cloud computing, the computing models that emerged beyond the cloud, and the communication technologies that enable computing in the continuum. In addition, two novel reference architectures are presented in this work: one for edge–cloud computing models and the other for edge–cloud communication technologies. We demonstrate real use cases from different application domains (like industry and science) to validate the proposed reference architectures, and we show how these use cases map onto the reference architectures. Finally, the paper highlights key points that express the authors’ vision about efficiently enabling and utilizing the computing continuum in the future.","author":[{"family":"Al-Dulaimy","given":"Auday"},{"family":"Jansen","given":"Matthijs"},{"family":"Johansson","given":"Bjarne"},{"family":"Trivedi","given":"Animesh"},{"family":"Iosup","given":"Alexandru"},{"family":"Ashjaei","given":"Mohammad"},{"family":"Galletta","given":"Antonino"},{"family":"Kimovski","given":"Dragi"},{"family":"Prodan","given":"Radu"},{"family":"Tserpes","given":"Konstantinos"},{"family":"Kousiouris","given":"George"},{"family":"Giannakos","given":"Chris"},{"family":"Brandić","given":"Ivona"},{"family":"Ali","given":"Nawfal"},{"family":"Bondi","given":"André"},{"family":"Papadopoulos","given":"Alessandro"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1016/j.iot.2024.101272","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.iot.2024.101272","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4393241279","type":"article-journal","title":"Beyond Bits: A Review of Quantum Embedding Techniques for Efficient Information Processing","abstract":"The existing body of research on quantum embedding techniques is not only confined in scope but also lacks a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of the quantum embedding process.

In quantum computing platforms supporting unconditional qubit resets, or a constant supply of fresh qubits, alternative schemes which do not require measurements are possible. In such schemes, the error correction is realized via crafted coherent quantum feedback. We propose implementations of small measurement-free QEC schemes, which are fault tolerant to circuit-level noise. These implementations are guided by several heuristics to achieve fault tolerance: redundant syndrome information is extracted, and additional single-shot flag qubits are used. By carefully designing the circuit, the additional overhead of these measurement-free schemes is moderate compared to their conventional measurement and feed-forward counterparts. We highlight how this alternative approach paves the way towards implementing resource-efficient measurement-free QEC on neutral-atom arrays.

If a quantum code has a known tensor-network construction of its encoding map, our method is far more efficient, and in some cases exponentially faster than the existing approach. As a corollary, it produces decoders and an algorithm that computes the code distance. For non-(Pauli)-stabilizer codes, this constitutes the current best algorithm for computing the code distance. For degenerate stabilizer codes, it can be substantially faster compared to the current methods. We also introduce novel weight enumerators and their applications. In particular, we show that these enumerators can be used to compute logical error rates exactly and thus construct (optimal) decoders for any independent and identically distributed single qubit or qudit error channels. The enumerators also provide a more efficient method for computing nonstabilizerness in quantum many-body states.

Here, we introduce a fault-tolerant hybrid quantum computation by building on the advantages of both discrete-variable (DV) and continuous-variable (CV) systems. In particular, we define a CV-DV hybrid qubit with a bosonic cat code and a single photon, which is implementable in current photonic platforms. Due to the cat code encoded in the CV part, the predominant loss errors are readily correctable without multiqubit encoding, while the logical basis is inherently orthogonal due to the DV part. We design fault-tolerant architectures by concatenating hybrid qubits and an outer DV quantum error-correction code such as a topological code, exploring their potential merit in developing scalable quantum computation. We demonstrate by numerical simulations that our scheme is at least an order of magnitude more resource efficient compared to all previous proposals in photonic platforms, allowing us to achieve a record-high loss threshold among existing CV and hybrid approaches. We discuss the realization of our approach not only in all-photonic platforms but also in other hybrid platforms including superconducting and trapped-ion systems, which allows us to find various efficient routes toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The burst occurs above a threshold number of atoms, and its peak power scales faster with the number of atoms than in the case of free-space Dicke superradiance. We measure the first-order coherence of the burst and experimentally distinguish two regimes, one dominated by the coherence induced during the excitation process and the other governed by vacuum fluctuations.

However, this requires solving a classical optimization problem that can become prohibitively expensive in high dimensions. Here, we develop formulations of feedback-based quantum algorithms for ground state preparation that can be used to address this challenge for two broad classes of Hamiltonians: Fermi-Hubbard Hamiltonians, and molecular Hamiltonians represented in second quantization. Feedback-based quantum algorithms are optimization-free; in place of classical optimization, quantum circuit parameters are set according to a deterministic feedback law derived from quantum Lyapunov control principles. This feedback law guarantees a monotonic improvement in solution quality with respect to the depth of the quantum circuit. A variety of numerical illustrations are provided that analyze the convergence and robustness of feedback-based quantum algorithms for these problem classes.

A ubiquitous problem in machine-learning workflows is sampling from probability distributions that we only have access to via their log probability. To this end, we extend the well-known Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to leverage quantum computation in a hybrid manner as a proposal function. Our new algorithm, Quantum Dynamical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (QD-HMC), replaces the classical symplectic integration proposal step with simulations of quantum-coherent continuous-space dynamics on digital or analog quantum computers. We show that QD-HMC maintains key characteristics of HMC, such as maintaining the detailed balanced condition with momentum inversion, while also having the potential for polynomial speedups over its classical counterpart in certain scenarios. As sampling is a core subroutine in many forms of probabilistic inference, and MCMC in continuously parametrized spaces covers a large class of potential applications, this work widens the areas of applicability of quantum devices.

Physically, the OTOCs describe the growth of quantum uncertainty that crucially depends on the nature of the quantum motion. Here, we employ the OTOC in order to provide a precise definition of dissipative quantum chaos. For this purpose, we compute analytically the Lyapunov exponent for the vectorized formulation of the large- q limit of a q -body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model coupled to a Markovian bath. These analytic results are confirmed by an explicit numerical calculation of the Lyapunov exponent for several values of q ≥ 4 based on the solutions of the Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations. We show that the Lyapunov exponent decreases monotonically as the coupling to the bath increases and eventually becomes negative at a critical value of the coupling signaling a transition to a dynamics which is no longer quantum chaotic. Therefore, a positive Lyapunov exponent is a defining feature of dissipative many-body quantum chaos. The observation of the breaking of the exponential growth for sufficiently strong coupling suggests that dissipative quantum chaos may require in certain cases a sufficiently weak coupling to the environment.

Cryptographic methods, once deemed secure for decades, are now at risk of being compromised, posing a massive threat to the security of sensitive data and communications across enterprises worldwide. As a result, there is an urgent need to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptographic systems. This is no simple task. Migrating to a quantum-safe state is a complex process, and many organisations lack the in-house expertise to navigate this transition without guidance. In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework designed to assist enterprises with this migration. Our framework outlines essential steps involved in the cryptographic migration process, and leverages existing organisational inventories. The framework facilitates the efficient identification of cryptographic assets and can be integrated with other enterprise frameworks smoothly. To underscore its practicality and effectiveness, we have incorporated case studies that utilise graph-theoretic techniques to pinpoint and assess cryptographic dependencies.

However, near-term and early fault-tolerant quantum computers will only be able to prepare noisy quantum states ρ and it is thus a considerable challenge to efficiently learn properties of an ideal, noise-free state ρ id . We consider error mitigation techniques, such as probabilistic error cancelation (PEC), zero noise extrapolation (ZNE), and symmetry verification (SV), which have been developed for mitigating errors in single expected value measurements and generalize them for mitigating errors in classical shadows. We find that PEC is the most natural candidate and thus develop a thorough theoretical framework for PEC shadows with the following rigorous theoretical guarantees: PEC shadows are an unbiased estimator for the ideal quantum state ρ id ; the sample complexity for simultaneously predicting many linear properties of ρ id is identical to that of the conventional shadows approach up to a multiplicative factor, which is the sample overhead due to error mitigation. Due to efficient postprocessing of shadows, this overhead does not depend directly on the number of qubits but rather grows exponentially with the number of noisy gates. The broad set of tools introduced in this work may be instrumental in exploiting near-term and early fault-tolerant quantum computers: we demonstrate in detailed numerical simulations a range of practical applications of quantum computers that will significantly benefit from our techniques.

In quantum dot systems, one proposal for long-distance coupling is to coherently transfer electron spins across a chip in a moving dot potential. Here, we use simulations to study challenges for spin shuttling in Si / Si Ge heterostructures caused by the valley degree of freedom. We show that for devices with valley splitting dominated by alloy disorder, one can expect to encounter pockets of low valley splitting, given a long-enough shuttling path. At such locations, intervalley tunneling leads to dephasing of the spin wave function, substantially reducing the shuttling fidelity. We show how to mitigate this problem by modifying the heterostructure composition, or by varying the vertical electric field, the shuttling velocity, the shape and size of the dot, or the shuttling path. We further show that combinations of these strategies can reduce the shuttling infidelity by several orders of magnitude, putting shuttling fidelities sufficient for error correction within reach.

Despite their remarkable success, classical CNNs may face challenges in achieving further improvements in accuracy, computational efficiency, explainability, and generalization.

In order to address a problem using CNN utilizing quantum computing, Quantum Convolutional Neural Network (QCNN) proposes a novel quantum solution or enhances the functionality of an existing learning model in terms of processing time during training. This paper presents a comparative analysis between classical Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a novel quantum circuit architecture tailored for image-based tasks, emphasizing the adaptability and versatility of quantum circuits in enhancing feature extraction capabilities and then final accuracy and processing time. A MNIST and covidx-cxr3 datasets was used to train quantum-CNN models, and the results of these comparisons were made with traditional CNN performance. The results demonstrate that the suggested QCNN beat the traditional CNN in terms of recognition accuracy and processing speed (process time) when combined with cutting-edge feature extraction techniques.

Recently, studies have explored entanglement in the $$ t\\overline{t} $$ t t ¯ system at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) when both the top quark and anti-top quark decay leptonically. Entanglement is detected via correlations between the polarizations of the top and anti-top and these polarizations are measured through the angles of the decay products of the top and anti-top. In this work, we propose searching for evidence of quantum entanglement in the semi-leptonic decay channel where the final state includes one lepton, one neutrino, two b -flavor tagged jets, and two light jets from the W decay. We find that this channel is both easier to reconstruct and has a larger effective quantity of data than the fully leptonic channel. As a result, the semi-leptonic channel is 60% more sensitive to quantum entanglement and a factor of 3 more sensitive to Bell inequality violation, compared to the leptonic channel. In 139 fb − 1 (3 ab −1 ) of data at the LHC (HL-LHC), it should be feasible to measure entanglement at a precision of ≲ 3% (0 . 7%). Detecting Bell inequality violation, on the other hand, is more challenging. With 300 fb −1 (3 ab −1 ) of integrated luminosity at the LHC Run-3 (HL-LHC), we expect a sensitivity of 1 . 3 σ (4 . 1 σ ). In our study, we utilize a realistic parametric fitting procedure to optimally recover the true angular distributions from detector effects.

In parallel, minor imperfections in circuit fabrication are amplified in this regime, dramatically inhibiting their performance. Here we use inverse design techniques to embed optical circuits in the higher-dimensional space of a large, ambient mode mixer such as a commercial multimode fibre. This approach allows us to forgo control over each individual circuit element, and retain a high degree of programmability. We use our circuits as quantum gates to manipulate high-dimensional spatial-mode entanglement in up to seven dimensions. Their programmability allows us to turn a multimode fibre into a generalized multioutcome measurement device, allowing us to both transport and certify entanglement within the transmission channel. With the support of numerical simulations, we show that our method is a scalable approach to obtaining high circuit fidelity with a low circuit depth by harnessing the resource of a high-dimensional mode mixer.","author":[{"family":"Goel","given":"Suraj"},{"family":"Leedumrongwatthanakun","given":"Saroch"},{"family":"Valencia","given":"Natalia"},{"family":"Mccutcheon","given":"Will"},{"family":"Tavakoli","given":"Armin"},{"family":"Conti","given":"Claudio"},{"family":"Pinkse","given":"Pepijn"},{"family":"Malik","given":"Mehul"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41567-023-02319-6","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-023-02319-6","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4318035807","type":"article-journal","title":"QDπ: A Quantum Deep Potential Interaction Model for Drug Discovery","abstract":"We report QDπ-v1.0 for modeling the internal energy of drug molecules containing H, C, N, and O atoms.

The model has the advantage that it is able to properly treat electrostatic interactions and handle changes in charge/protonation states. The model is trained against reference data computed at the ωB97X/6-31G* level (as in the ANI-1x data set) and compared to several other approximate semiempirical and machine learning potentials (ANI-1x, ANI-2x, DFTB3, MNDO/d, AM1, PM6, GFN1-xTB, and GFN2-xTB). The QDπ model is demonstrated to be accurate for a wide range of intra- and intermolecular interactions (despite its intended use as an internal energy model) and has shown to perform exceptionally well for relative protonation/deprotonation energies and tautomers. An example application to model reactions involved in RNA strand cleavage catalyzed by protein and nucleic acid enzymes illustrates QDπ has average errors less than 0.5 kcal/mol, whereas the other models compared have errors over an order of magnitude greater. Taken together, this makes QDπ highly attractive as a potential force field model for drug discovery.","author":[{"family":"Zeng","given":"Jinzhe"},{"family":"Tao","given":"Yujun"},{"family":"Giese","given":"Timothy"},{"family":"York","given":"Darrin"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1021/acs.jctc.2c01172","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.2c01172","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4402795233","type":"article-journal","title":"Optimizing quantum tomography via shadow inversion","abstract":"In quantum information theory, the accurate estimation of observables is pivotal for quantum information processing, playing a crucial role in computational and communication protocols.

However, the Trotter error's dependency on the input state and its application to unbounded operators remains unclear. Here, we present a general theory for error estimation, including higher-order product formulas, with explicit input state dependency. Our approach overcomes two limitations of the existing operator-norm estimates in the literature. First, previous bounds are too pessimistic as they quantify the worst-case scenario. Second, previous bounds become trivial for unbounded operators and cannot be applied to a wide class of Trotter scenarios, including atomic and molecular Hamiltonians. Our method enables analytical treatment of Trotter errors in chemistry simulations, illustrated through a case study on the hydrogen atom. Our findings reveal the following: (i) for states with fat-tailed energy distribution, such as low-angular-momentum states of the hydrogen atom, the Trotter error scales worse than expected (sublinearly) in the number of Trotter steps; (ii) certain states do not admit an advantage in the scaling from higher-order Trotterization and, thus, the higher-order Trotter hierarchy breaks down for these states, including the hydrogen atom's ground state; (iii) the scaling of higher-order Trotter bounds might depend on the order of the Hamiltonians in the Trotter product for states with fat-tailed energy distribution. Physically, the enlarged Trotter error is caused by the atom's ionization due to the Trotter dynamics. Mathematically, we find that certain domain conditions are not satisfied by some states so higher moments of the potential and kinetic energies diverge. Our analytical error analysis agrees with numerical simulations, indicating that we can estimate the state-dependent Trotter error scaling genuinely.

Classical formulations of this quadratic optimization problem have exact or heuristic solutions, but the complexity scales up as the market dimension increases. Recently, researchers are evaluating the possibility of facing the complexity scaling issue by employing quantum computing. In this paper, the problem is solved using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), which in principle is very efficient. The main outcome of this work consists of the definition of the best hyperparameters to set, in order to perform Portfolio Optimization by VQE on real quantum computers. In particular, a quite general formulation of the constrained quadratic problem is considered, which is translated into Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization by the binary encoding of variables and by including constraints in the objective function. This is converted into a set of quantum operators (Ising Hamiltonian), whose minimum eigenvalue is found by VQE and corresponds to the optimal solution. In this work, different hyperparameters of the procedure are analyzed, including different ansatzes and optimization methods by means of experiments on both simulators and real quantum computers. Experiments show that there is a strong dependence of solutions quality on the sufficiently sized quantum computer and correct hyperparameters, and with the best choices, the quantum algorithm run on real quantum devices reaches solutions very close to the exact one, with a strong convergence rate towards the classical solution, even without error-mitigation techniques. Moreover, results obtained on different real quantum devices, for a small-sized example, show the relation between the quality of the solution and the dimension of the quantum processor. Evidences allow concluding which are the best ways to solve real Portfolio Optimization problems by VQE on quantum devices, and confirm the possibility to solve them with higher efficiency, with respect to existing methods, as soon as the size of quantum hardware will be sufficiently high.","author":[{"family":"Buonaiuto","given":"Giuseppe"},{"family":"Gargiulo","given":"Francesco"},{"family":"Pietro","given":"Giuseppe"},{"family":"Esposito","given":"Massimo"},{"family":"Pota","given":"Marco"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-023-45392-w","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-45392-w","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4384697318","type":"article-journal","title":"Opportunities and Challenges of Quantum Computing for Engineering Optimization","abstract":"Abstract Quantum computing as the emerging paradigm for scientific computing has attracted significant research attention in the past decade.

However, the strong self‐absorption and low light yield of these perovskites restrict their practical applications. Quantum cutting can convert a high energy photon into multiple low energy photons, endowing a large Stokes shift and high photoluminescent quantum yield (PLQY). Here, this work reports a novel quantum cutting material, CsPbCl x Br 3− x :Yb 3+ perovskite SCs, with the PLQY of 149% and a Stokes shift >550 nm, successfully conquering the issues of poor PLQY induced by the thermal quenching and the large self‐absorption in perovskite SCs. Benefiting from the extremely high PLQY and negligible self‐absorption effect, the first high‐performance quantum cutting scintillators based on CsPbCl x Br 3− x :Yb 3+ perovskite SCs are developed, exhibiting high transmittance, large X‐ray absorption/conversion efficiency, outstanding light yield of ≈1.12 × 10 5 photons MeV −1 , and a detection limit as low as 176.5 nGy air s −1 .

Similar to classical computing systems, quantum computing stack including software and hardware rely extensively on third parties many of them could be untrusted or less-trusted or unreliable. Quantum computing stack may contain sensitive Intellectual Properties (IP) that requires protection. From hardware perspective, quantum computers suffer from crosstalk that couples two programs in a multi-tenant setting to facilitate traditionally known fault injection attacks. Furthermore, third party calibration services can report incorrect error rates of qubits or mis-calibrate the qubits to degrade the computation performance for denial-of-service attacks. Quantum computers are expensive and access queue is typically long for trusted providers. Therefore, users may be enticed to explore untrusted but cheaper and readily available quantum hardware which can enable stealth of IP and tampering of quantum programs and/or computation outcomes. Recent studies have indicated the evolution of efficient but untrusted compilation services which presents risks to the IPs present in the quantum circuits. The untrusted compiler can also inject Trojans and perform tampering. Although quantum computing can involve sensitive IP and private information and can solve problems with strategic impact, its security and privacy has received inadequate attention.

Second, it introduces the notion of copy complexity, which quantifies the number of copies of a quantum state required to achieve a target accuracy level. Copy complexity arises from the destructive nature of quantum measurements, which irreversibly alter the state to be processed, limiting the information that can be extracted about quantum data. As a result, empirical risk minimization is generally inapplicable. The paper presents novel results on the copy complexity for both training and testing.

A promising model for randomness manipulation is provided by Bernoulli factories—protocols capable of changing the bias of Bernoulli random processes in a controlled way. At first, this framework was proposed and investigated in a fully classical regime. Recent extensions of this model to the quantum case showed the possibility of implementing a wider class of randomness manipulation functions. We propose a Bernoulli factory scheme with quantum states as the input and output, using a photonic-path-encoding approach. Our scheme is modular and universal and its functioning is truly oblivious of the input bias—characteristics that were missing in earlier work. We report on experimental implementations using an integrated and fully programmable photonic platform, thereby demonstrating the viability of our approach.

Here we propose methods to initialize on a gate-based quantum computer a general class of quantum spin wave functions, the so-called valence-bond-solid (VBS) states, that are important for two reasons. First, VBS states are the exact ground states of a class of interacting quantum spin models introduced by Affleck, Kennedy, Lieb, and Tasaki (AKLT). Second, the two-dimensional VBS states are universal resource states for measurement-based quantum computing. We find that schemes to prepare VBS states based on their tensor-network representations yield quantum circuits that are too deep to be within reach of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers. We then apply the general nondeterministic method herein proposed to the preparation of the spin-1 and spin-$3/2$ VBS states, the ground states of the AKLT models defined in one dimension and in the honeycomb lattice, respectively. Shallow quantum circuits of depth independent of the lattice size are explicitly derived for both cases, making use of optimization schemes that outperform standard basis gate decomposition methods. The probabilistic nature of the proposed routine translates into an average number of repetitions to successfully prepare the VBS state that scales exponentially with the number of lattice sites $N$. However, two strategies to quadratically reduce this repetition overhead for any bipartite lattice are devised. Our approach should permit to use NISQ processors to explore the AKLT model and variants thereof, outperforming conventional numerical methods in the near future.","author":[{"family":"Murta","given":"Bruno"},{"family":"Cruz","given":"Pedro"},{"family":"Fernándezrossier","given":"J"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevresearch.5.013190","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.5.013190","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391611319","type":"article-journal","title":"Achieving Nearly 100% Photoluminescence Quantum Efficiency in Organic Radical Emitters by Fine‐Tuning the Effective Donor‐Acceptor Distance","abstract":"Abstract Donor‐acceptor (D–A • ) type luminescent organic radicals have received widespread attention as efficient doublet emitters. However, their generally low photoluminescence quantum efficiency (PLQE) and limited photostability restrict their various applications. Since unraveling the relationship between structure and properties of D–A • type luminescent radicals remains a challenge, here, a series of tri(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)methyl (TTM) radical derivatives, which differ by the location of their ring fusion sites and nature of their heteroatoms, is synthesized. The PLQE of isomers varies by ten times as a function of ring fusion sites. In particular, the PLQE of a radical undergoing ring fusion at the carbazole 3,4‐position is as high as 98.0%. Quantum‐chemical calculations show that in the case of overlapping holes and electrons, by increasing the effective distance between the D and A moieties, the radiative transition rates of the radicals increase. Also, decreasing the electronic coupling between the charge‐transfer and local‐excited states and avoiding large geometrical distortions between the ground state (D 0 )_and the first excited state (D 1 ) can significantly reduce the nonradiative transition rates.

This leads to explainable AI (XAI) manifesting itself as an important research field that helps humans to better comprehend ML systems. In parallel, quantum machine learning (QML) is emerging with the ongoing improvement of quantum computing hardware combined with its increasing availability via cloud services. QML enables quantum-enhanced ML in which quantum mechanics is exploited to facilitate ML tasks, typically in the form of quantum-classical hybrid algorithms that combine quantum and classical resources. Quantum gates constitute the building blocks of gate-based quantum hardware and form circuits that can be used for quantum computations. For QML applications, quantum circuits are typically parameterized and their parameters are optimized classically such that a suitably defined objective function is minimized. Inspired by XAI, we raise the question of the explainability of such circuits by quantifying the importance of (groups of) gates for specific goals. To this end, we apply the well-established concept of Shapley values. The resulting attributions can be interpreted as explanations for why a specific circuit works well for a given task, improving the understanding of how to construct parameterized (or variational) quantum circuits, and fostering their human interpretability in general. An experimental evaluation on simulators and two superconducting quantum hardware devices demonstrates the benefits of the proposed framework for classification, generative modeling, transpilation, and optimization.

Lattice mismatch between the core and shell is known to determine this critical shell thickness, securing QDs from defect formation through strain release. However, it cannot explain the recently reported high efficiency QDs with giant shells. Based on CdSe/ZnSe thick shell QDs, this study aims to identify the culprit limiting PL QY. In the shell growth process, the gradual reduction in PL QY is accompanied by a low‐energy tail emission, but the additional compressive strain by the outmost shell eliminates such abnormalities. It is revealed that the zinc vacancy in the shell provides shallow hole trap states. The computational study successfully explains the hole‐accepting zinc vacancy states above the CdSe 1Shh state, raised by compressive strain along radial direction. Additional hydrostatic compressive strain lifts the 1Shh state for this strained heterostructure to minimize the energetic gap with the zinc vacancy states. The finding suggests that critical shell thickness can be limited by atomic vacancy incorporated during shell growth, not by formation of misfit dislocation caused by strain release.","author":[{"family":"Kim","given":"Byong"},{"family":"Kim","given":"Hyoung"},{"family":"Jung","given":"Woon"},{"family":"Choi","given":"Yeongho"},{"family":"Kim","given":"Dong"},{"family":"Lee","given":"Hyeonjun"},{"family":"Park","given":"Kyoungwon"},{"family":"Jeong","given":"Mun"},{"family":"Park","given":"Ji‐sang"},{"family":"Lim","given":"Jaehoon"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1002/aenm.202400148","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aenm.202400148","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4405260516","type":"article-journal","title":"Adaptive In‐Sensor Computing for Enhanced Feature Perception and Broadband Image Restoration","abstract":"Traditional imaging systems struggle in weak or complex lighting environments due to their fixed spectral responses, resulting in spectral mismatches and degraded image quality.

Using semiclassical methods adapted to the lowest Landau level, we obtain near-Gaussian energy eigenstates that are localized on level curves of the potential and have a position-dependent height. This one-particle insight allows us to deduce explicit formulas for expectation values of local many-body observables, such as density and current, in the thermodynamic limit. In particular, correlations along the edge are long-ranged and inhomogeneous. As we show, this is consistent with the system’s universal low-energy description as a free 1D chiral conformal field theory of edge modes, known from earlier works in simple geometries. A delicate interplay between radial and angular dependencies of eigenfunctions ultimately ensures that the theory is homogeneous in terms of the canonical angle variable of the potential, despite its apparent inhomogeneity in terms of more naïve angular coordinates. Finally, we propose a scheme to measure the anisotropy by subjecting the droplet to microwave radiation; we compute the corresponding absorption rate and show that it depends on the droplet’s shape and the waves’ polarization. These results, both local and global, are likely to be observable in solid-state systems or quantum simulators of 2D electron gases with a high degree of control on the confining potential.

The hybrid mode works for certain cases but FIPS certification for the hybridized cryptomodule might still be required. This paper proposes to take a nested mode to enable TLS 1.3 protocol with quantum-safe data, which can be made available today and is FIPS compliant. We discussed the performance impacts of the handshaking phase of the nested TLS 1.3 with PQC and the symmetric encryption phase. The major impact on performance using the nested mode is in the data symmetric encryption with AES.

However, little is known about how InP/ZnS QDs affect a key blood cell, the platelet. Understanding how platelets interact with QDs is critical as unwanted activation can lead to pathological thrombus formation. Herein, we demonstrate PEGylation of InP/ZnS QDs coated with lipoic acid (QD-LA) or coated with penicillamine (QD-Pen) surface ligands induced markedly less platelet aggregation, platelet-QD interactions, integrin activation, alpha granule secretion and restored platelet spreading in washed platelets in comparison to their non-PEGylated counterparts. Furthermore, in whole blood, PEGylation of QDs reduced the number of QDs in the thrombus, thereby helping to minimise the chance of dysfunctional thrombus formation.

Here, we develop neural network potentials (NNPs) to study the phosphoester bond formation in water. While NNPs are becoming routinely applied to nonreactive systems or simple reactions, we demonstrate how they can systematically be trained to explore the reaction phase space for complex reactions involving several proton transfers and exchanges of heavy atoms. We then propagate at moderate computational cost hundreds of nanoseconds of a variety of enhanced sampling simulations with quantum accuracy in explicit solvent conditions. The thermodynamically preferred reaction pathway is a concerted, dissociative mechanism, with the transient formation of a metaphosphate transition state and direct participation of water solvent molecules that facilitate the exchange of protons through the nonbridging phosphate oxygens. Associative-dissociative pathways, characterized by a much tighter pentacoordinated phosphate, are higher in free energy. Our simulations also suggest that diprotonated phosphate, whose reactivity is never directly assessed in the experiments, is significantly less reactive than the monoprotonated species, suggesting that it is probably never the reactive species in normal pH conditions.

Quantum k-means clustering promises a speed-up over the classical k-means algorithm; however, it has been shown to not currently provide this speed-up for decoding optical-fibre signals due to the embedding of classical data, which introduces inaccuracies and slowdowns. Although still not achieving an exponential speed-up for NISQ implementations, this work proposes the generalised inverse stereographic projection as an improved embedding into the Bloch sphere for quantum distance estimation in k-nearest-neighbour clustering, which allows us to get closer to the classical performance. We also use the generalised inverse stereographic projection to develop an analogous classical clustering algorithm and benchmark its accuracy, runtime and convergence for decoding real-world experimental optical-fibre communication data. This proposed ‘quantum-inspired’ algorithm provides an improvement in both the accuracy and convergence rate with respect to the k-means algorithm. Hence, this work presents two main contributions. Firstly, we propose the general inverse stereographic projection into the Bloch sphere as a better embedding for quantum machine learning algorithms; here, we use the problem of clustering quadrature amplitude modulated optical-fibre signals as an example. Secondly, as a purely classical contribution inspired by the first contribution, we propose and benchmark the use of the general inverse stereographic projection and spherical centroid for clustering optical-fibre signals, showing that optimizing the radius yields a consistent improvement in accuracy and convergence rate.","author":[{"family":"Jasso","given":"Alonso"},{"family":"Modi","given":"Ark"},{"family":"Ferrara","given":"Roberto"},{"family":"Deppe","given":"Christian"},{"family":"Nötzel","given":"Janis"},{"family":"Fung","given":"Fred"},{"family":"Schädler","given":"Maximilian"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.3390/e25091361","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3390/e25091361","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4390689992","type":"manuscript","title":"Modern Computing: Vision and Challenges","abstract":"Over the past six decades, the computing systems field has experienced significant transformations, profoundly impacting society with transformational developments, such as the Internet and the commodification of computing.

This has led to new paradigms such as cloud, fog, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), which offer fresh economic and creative opportunities. Nevertheless, this rapid change poses complex research challenges, especially in maximizing potential and enhancing functionality. As such, to maintain an economical level of performance that meets ever-tighter requirements, one must understand the drivers of new model emergence and expansion, and how contemporary challenges differ from past ones.

This development is set to revolutionize the applications of quantum computing. This article reviews the concept of QNNs and their physical realizations, particularly implementations based on quantum optics. The integration of quantum principles with classical neural network architectures is first examined to create QNNs. Some specific examples, such as the quantum perceptron, quantum convolutional neural networks, and quantum Boltzmann machines are discussed. Subsequently, the feasibility of implementing QNNs through photonics is analyzed. The key challenge here lies in achieving the required non‐linear gates, and measurement‐induced approaches, among others, seem promising. To unlock the computational potential of QNNs, addressing the challenge of scaling their complexity through quantum optics is crucial. Progress in controlling quantum states of light is continuously advancing the field. Additionally, it has been discovered that different QNN architectures can be unified through non‐Gaussian operations.

Through reservoir engineering, we show that a structured dissipation can stabilize a two-component SC while autonomously correcting the errors. The implementation of such dissipation only requires low-order nonlinear couplings among three bosonic modes or between a bosonic mode and a qutrit. While our proposed scheme is device independent, it is readily implementable with current experimental platforms such as superconducting circuits and trapped-ion systems. Compared to the stabilized cat, the stabilized SC has a much lower dominant error rate and a significantly enhanced noise bias. Furthermore, the bias-preserving operations for the SC have much lower error rates. In combination, the stabilized SC leads to substantially better logical performance when concatenating with an outer discrete-variable code. The surface-SC scheme achieves more than one order of magnitude increase in the threshold ratio between the loss rate κ 1 and the engineered dissipation rate κ 2 . Under a practical noise ratio κ 1 / κ 2 = 10 −3 , the repetition-SC scheme can reach a 10 −15 logical error rate even with a small mean excitation number of 4, which already suffices for practically useful quantum algorithms.","author":[{"family":"Xu","given":"Qian"},{"family":"Zheng","given":"Guo"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Yuxin"},{"family":"Zoller","given":"P"},{"family":"Clerk","given":"Aashish"},{"family":"Jiang","given":"Liang"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41534-023-00746-0","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-023-00746-0","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4389168214","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Error Correction For Dummies","abstract":"In the current Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era of quantum computing, qubit technologies are prone to imperfections, giving rise to various errors such as gate errors, decoherence/dephasing, measurement errors, leakage, and crosstalk.

When quantum computers become robust enough to run Shor's algorithm on a large scale, the most used asymmetric algorithms, utilized for digital signatures and message encryption, such as RSA, (EC)DSA, and (EC)DH, will be no longer secure. Quantum computers will be able to break them within a short period of time.

Currently, three of the leading candidate platforms for quantum computing are based on superconducting circuits, trapped ions, and neutral atom arrays. However, these systems have strong interaction with environmental and control noises that introduce decoherence of qubit states and gate operations. Alternatively, photons are well decoupled from the environment and have advantages of speed and timing for quantum computing. Photonic systems have already demonstrated capability for solving specific intractable problems like Boson sampling, but face challenges for practically scalable universal quantum computing solutions because it is extremely difficult for a single photon to “talk” to another deterministically. Here, a universal distributed quantum computing scheme based on photons and atomic‐ensemble‐based quantum memories is proposed. Taking the established photonic advantages, two‐qubit nonlinear interaction is mediated by converting photonic qubits into quantum memory states and employing Rydberg blockade for the controlled gate operation. Spatial and temporal scalability of this scheme is demonstrated further. These results show photon‐atom network hybrid approach can be a potential solution to universal distributed quantum computing.","author":[{"family":"Oh","given":"Eun"},{"family":"Lai","given":"Xuanying"},{"family":"Wen","given":"Jianming"},{"family":"Du","given":"Shengwang"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1002/qute.202300007","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/qute.202300007","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4315575019","type":"article-journal","title":"Classical Quantum Friction at Water–Carbon Interfaces","abstract":"Friction at water-carbon interfaces remains a major puzzle with theories and simulations unable to explain experimental trends in nanoscale waterflow. A recent theoretical framework─quantum friction (QF)─proposes to resolve these experimental observations by considering nonadiabatic coupling between dielectric fluctuations in water and graphitic surfaces. Here, using a classical model that enables fine-tuning of the solid's dielectric spectrum, we provide evidence from simulations in general support of QF. In particular, as features in the solid's dielectric spectrum begin to overlap with water's librational and Debye modes, we find an increase in friction in line with that proposed by QF. At the microscopic level, we find that this contribution to friction manifests more distinctly in the dynamics of the solid's charge density than that of water. Our findings suggest that experimental signatures of QF may be more pronounced in the solid's response rather than liquid water's.","author":[{"family":"Bui","given":"Anna"},{"family":"Thiemann","given":"Fabian"},{"family":"Michaelides","given":"Angelos"},{"family":"Cox","given":"Stephen"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1021/acs.nanolett.2c04187","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.nanolett.2c04187","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4376870047","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum sensing of radio-frequency signal with NV centers in SiC","abstract":"Silicon carbide is an emerging platform for quantum technologies that provides wafer scale and low-cost industrial fabrication.

Exploiting this dyadic trainability as meta-learning capability, we propose quantum meta MARL (QM2ARL) that first applies angle training for meta-QNN learning, followed by pole training for few-shot or local-QNN training. To avoid overfitting, we develop an angle-to-pole regularization technique injecting noise into the pole domain during angle training. Furthermore, by exploiting the pole as the memory address of each trained QNN, we introduce the concept of pole memory allowing one to save and load trained QNNs using only two-parameter pole values. We theoretically prove the convergence of angle training under the angle-to-pole regularization, and by simulation corroborate the effectiveness of QM2ARL in achieving high reward and fast convergence, as well as of the pole memory in fast adaptation to a time-varying environment.","author":[{"family":"Yun","given":"Won"},{"family":"Park","given":"Jihong"},{"family":"Kim","given":"Joongheon"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1609/aaai.v37i9.26313","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v37i9.26313","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4378172485","type":"article-journal","title":"Computing the Many-Body Green’s Function with Adaptive Variational Quantum Dynamics","abstract":"We present a method to compute the many-body real-time Green's function using an adaptive variational quantum dynamics simulation approach.

The strong interaction and typical type-I band-position alignment between CdS quantum dots and ZnS quantum dots result in efficient separation and transfer of electron-hole pairs, thus distinctly enhancing the coupled photocatalyzed-redox activity and stability. The optimal ZnS-CdS hybrid also delivers a superior performance for various aromatic alcohol coupling photoredox reaction, and the ratio of electrons and holes consumed in such redox reaction is close to 1.0, indicating a high atom economy of cooperative coupling catalysis. In addition, by recycling the scattered light in the near field of a SiO2sphere, the SiO2-supported ZnS-CdS (denoted as ZnS-CdS/SiO2) catalyst can further achieve a 3.5-fold higher yield than ZnS-CdS hybrid.

Therefore, the inefficiency of this process leads to a major bottleneck for the application of these algorithms. Here, we present and compare two efficient methods for the amplitude encoding of real polynomial functions on n qubits. This case holds special relevance, as any continuous function on a closed interval can be uniformly approximated with arbitrary precision by a polynomial function. The first approach relies on the matrix product state representation (MPS). We study and benchmark the approximations of the target state when the bond dimension is assumed to be small. The second algorithm combines two subroutines. Initially we encode the linear function into the quantum registers either via its MPS or with a shallow sequence of multi-controlled gates that loads the linear function's Hadamard-Walsh series, and we explore how truncating the Hadamard-Walsh series of the linear function affects the final fidelity. Applying the inverse discrete Hadamard-Walsh transform converts the state encoding the series coefficients into an amplitude encoding of the linear function. Thus, we use this construction as a building block to achieve an exact block encoding of the amplitudes corresponding to the linear function on k0 qubits and apply the quantum singular value transformation that implements a polynomial transformation to the block encoding of the amplitudes. This unitary together with the Amplitude Amplification algorithm will enable us to prepare the quantum state that encodes the polynomial function on k0 qubits. Finally we pad n−k0 qubits to generate an approximated encoding of the polynomial on n qubits, analyzing the error depending on k0 .

These Au QRs possess distinct HOMO–LUMO gaps ( E g = 0.6 to 1.3 eV) and exhibit strongly polarized excitonic transition along the longitudinal direction, resulting in very intense absorption in the near-infrared (800 to 1,700 nm). While excitons in gapped systems and plasmons in gapless systems are distinctly different types of excitations, the strongly polarized excitons in Au QRs surprisingly exhibit plasmon-like behaviors manifested in the shape-induced polarization, very intense absorption (~10 6 M −1 cm −1 ), and linear scaling relations with the AR, all of which resemble the behaviors of conventional metallic-state Au nanorods (i.e., gapless systems), but the QRs possess distinct gaps and very long excited-state lifetimes (10 to 2,122 ns), which hold promise in applications such as near-infrared solar energy utilization, hot carrier generation and transfer.

Here, core–shell heterostructured perovskite quantum dots (QDs) for room‐temperature spin‐polarized light‐emitting diodes (spin‐LEDs) are developed. Specifically, a 2D chiral perovskite shell is deposited onto the achiral 3D inorganic perovskite (CsPbBr 3 ) core. Owing to the chiral‐induced spin selectivity effect, the spin state of the injected charge carriers is biased when they are transmitted through the 2D chiral shell. The spin‐controlled carriers then radiatively recombine inside the CsPbBr 3 emissive core, resulting in CPL emission. It is demonstrated that the ( R )‐ and ( S )‐1‐(2‐(naphthyl)ethylamine) ( R ‐/ S ‐NEA) 2D chiral cations enhance the spin polarization degree due to their strong chiroptical properties. Systematical defect analyses confirm that 2D chiral cations (i.e., R ‐/ S ‐NEA) successfully passivate halide vacancies at the surface of the CsPbBr 3 QDs, thereby attaining a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 78%. Moreover, the spin‐LEDs prepared with core–shell QDs achieve a maximum external quantum efficiency of 5.47% and circularly polarized electroluminescence with a polarization degree ( P CP‐EL ) of 12% at room temperature. Finally, various patterns fabricated by inkjet printing the core–shell QDs emit strong CPL, highlighting their potential as an emitter for next‐generation displays.","author":[{"family":"Jang","given":"Gyumin"},{"family":"Jo","given":"Dae‐yeon"},{"family":"Ma","given":"Sunihl"},{"family":"Lee","given":"Junwoo"},{"family":"Son","given":"Jaehyun"},{"family":"Lee","given":"Chan"},{"family":"Jeong","given":"Wooyong"},{"family":"Yang","given":"Seongyeon"},{"family":"Park","given":"Jeong"},{"family":"Yang","given":"Heesun"},{"family":"Moon","given":"Jooho"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1002/adma.202309335","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202309335","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4396636835","type":"article-journal","title":"Synthetic dimensions for topological and quantum phases","abstract":"Abstract The concept of synthetic dimensions works particularly well in atomic physics, quantum optics, and photonics, where the internal degrees of freedom (Zeeman sublevels of the ground state, metastable excited states, or motional states for atoms, and angular momentum states or transverse modes for photons) provide the synthetic space.

Significant efforts have been dedicated to mitigating and controlling their negative effects on these devices.

Surprisingly, it is shown that these seemingly detrimental factors can provide substantial advantages in the operation of QML algorithms under certain circumstances. Exploring and understanding the implications of adapting QML algorithms to open quantum systems opens up pathways for devising strategies that effectively leverage noise and dissipation.

The other is the security loopholes from its classical cryptography methods. Here, we propose a Byzantine agreement framework with unconditional security to break this bound with nearly 1/2 fault tolerance due to multiparty correlation provided by quantum digital signatures. It is intriguing that quantum entanglement is not necessary to break the 1/3 fault-tolerance bound, and we show that weaker correlation, such as asymmetric relationship of quantum digital signature, can also work. Our work strictly obeys two Byzantine conditions and can be extended to any number of players without requirements for multiparticle entanglement. We experimentally demonstrate three-party and five-party consensus for a digital ledger.

To inform security experts and policy decision makers on this matter, we review what is currently known on the potential uses and risks of quantum computers, leveraging current research literature. The maturity of currently-available quantum computers is not yet at a level such that they can be used in production for large-scale, industrially-relevant problems, and they are not believed to currently pose security risks. We identify 2 large-scale trends -- new approximate methods (variational algorithms, error mitigation, and circuit knitting) and the commercial exploration of business-relevant quantum applications -- which, together, may enable useful and practical quantum computing in the near future. Crucially, these methods do not appear likely to change the required resources for cryptanalysis on currently-used cryptosystems. From an analysis we perform of the current and known algorithms for cryptanalysis, we find they require circuits of a size exceeding those that can be run by current and near-future quantum computers (and which will require error correction), though we acknowledge improvements in quantum algorithms for these problems are taking place in the literature. In addition, the risk to cybersecurity can be well-managed by the migration to new, quantum-safe cryptographic protocols, which we survey and discuss.

However, to reach the ultimate limits in multi-parameter quantum metrology and quantum information processing tasks, collective measurements, which generate entanglement between multiple copies of the quantum state, are necessary. Here, we experimentally demonstrate theoretically optimal single- and two-copy collective measurements for simultaneously estimating two non-commuting qubit rotations. This allows us to implement quantum-enhanced sensing, for which the metrological gain persists for high levels of decoherence, and to draw fundamental insights about the interpretation of the uncertainty principle. We implement our optimal measurements on superconducting, trapped-ion and photonic systems, providing an indication of how future quantum-enhanced sensing networks may look.","author":[{"family":"Conlon","given":"Lorcán"},{"family":"Vogl","given":"Tobias"},{"family":"Marciniak","given":"Christian"},{"family":"Pogorelov","given":"Ivan"},{"family":"Yung","given":"Simon"},{"family":"Eilenberger","given":"Falk"},{"family":"Berry","given":"Dominic"},{"family":"Santana","given":"Fabiana"},{"family":"Blatt","given":"R"},{"family":"Monz","given":"Thomas"},{"family":"Lam","given":"Ping"},{"family":"Assad","given":"Syed"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41567-022-01875-7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-022-01875-7","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4391074114","type":"article-journal","title":"QFaaS: A Serverless Function-as-a-Service framework for Quantum computing","abstract":"Quantum computing is rapidly reaching a point in which its application design and engineering aspects must be seriously considered. However, quantum software engineering is still in its infancy, with numerous challenges, especially in dealing with the diversity of quantum programming languages and noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) systems. To alleviate these challenges, we propose QFaaS, a holistic Quantum Function-as-a-Service framework, which leverages the advantages of the serverless model, DevOps lifecycle, and the state-of-the-art software techniques to advance practical quantum computing for next-generation application development in the NISQ era. Our framework provides essential elements of a serverless quantum system to streamline service-oriented quantum application development in cloud environments, such as combining hybrid quantum–classical computation, automating the backend selection, cold start mitigation, and adapting DevOps techniques. QFaaS offers a full-stack and unified quantum serverless platform by integrating multiple well-known quantum software development kits (Qiskit, Q#, Cirq, and Braket), quantum simulators, and cloud providers (IBM Quantum and Amazon Braket). This paper proposes the concept of quantum function-as-a-service, system design, operation workflows, implementation of QFaaS, and lessons learned on the benefits and limitations of quantum serverless computing.

However, the current generation of quantum computers are limited by errors that may only partially be mitigated by developing higher-quality qubits. Quantum error correction (QEC) will thus be necessary to ensure fault tolerance. QEC protects the logical information by cyclically measuring syndrome information about the errors. An essential part of QEC is the decoder, which uses the syndrome to compute the likely effect of the errors on the logical degrees of freedom and provide a tentative correction. The decoder must be accurate, fast enough to keep pace with the QEC cycle (e.g. on a microsecond timescale for superconducting qubits) and with hard real-time system integration to support logical operations. As such, real-time decoding is essential to realize fault-tolerant quantum computing and to achieve quantum advantage. In this work, we highlight some of the key challenges facing the implementation of real-time decoders while providing a succinct summary of the progress to-date. Furthermore, we lay out our perspective for the future development and provide a possible roadmap for the field of real-time decoding in the next few years.

For a general $n$-qubit state, we improve the C-NOT count of the Plesch-Brukner algorithm (2011) from $(23/24)\\times 2^n$ to $(11/12)\\times2^n$. For block encoding, our single-ancilla protocol for $2^{n-1}\\times 2^{n-1}$ matrices uses the spectral norm as subnormalization and achieves a C-NOT count leading term $(11/48)\\times 4^n$. Further optimization is performed for low-rank matrices, which frequently arise in practical applications.

While machine learning (ML) techniques such as SVMs and CNNs have improved detection, their accuracy and scalability remain limited for emerging adversarial approaches. Quantum machine learning (QML) is a transformative strategy that relies on quantum computation and high-dimensional feature spaces to potentially overcome classical computational limitations. However, the accuracy of QML models such as QSVM and QCNN for URL detection in comparison to classical models remains unexplored. This study evaluates ML models (SVMs and CNNs) and QML models (QSVMs and QCNNs) on a dataset, employing data preprocessing techniques such as outliers, feature scaling and feature selection with ANOVA and PCA. Quantum models utilized ZZFeatureMap and ZFeatureMap for data encoding, to transfer original data to qubits. The achieved results showed that CNNs outperformed QCNNs and QSVMs outperformed SVMs in the performance evaluation, demonstrating a competitive potential of quantum computing. QML shows promise for cybersecurity, particularly given the QSVM’s kernel advantages, but current hardware limits the QCNN’s practicality. The significance of this research is to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in cybersecurity by providing a comparative analysis of classical and quantum ML models for classifying malicious URLs.","author":[{"family":"Eze","given":"Lauren"},{"family":"Chaudhry","given":"Umair"},{"family":"Jahankhani","given":"Hamid"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.3390/electronics14091827","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3390/electronics14091827","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.48550/arxiv.2602.10776","type":"manuscript","title":"Efficient Operator Selection and Warm-Start Strategy for Excitations in Variational Quantum Eigensolvers","abstract":"We present a novel approach for efficient preparation of electronic ground states, leveraging the optimizer ExcitationSolve [Jäger et al., Comm.

By combining these tools, we demonstrate a computationally efficient protocol that enables the construction of an approximate ground state from a unitary coupled cluster ansatz via a single sweep over the operator pool. Utilizing efficient classical pre-processing to select the majority of relevant operators, this approach reduces the computational complexity associated with traditional variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) optimization methods. We further show that second-order Epstein-Nesbet (EN2) perturbation theory emerges as the first-order Taylor expansion of our protocol in terms of a correlation measure, clarifying why our approach provides a more robust initial guess for the ground state in strongly correlated regimes. We also find that second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation (MP2) theory, which is widely used for unitary coupled cluster (UCC) initialization, performs worse than both EN2 and our protocol. Furthermore, we show that our method can be seamlessly integrated with one-variational-parameter couple exchange operators, thereby further reducing the number of required CNOT operations. Overall, we empirically observe a quadratic convergence speedup beyond state-of-the-art methods, advancing the preparation of high-fidelity electronic ground states - one of the cornerstones of meaningful electronic structure calculations in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing (NISQ) era, and a prerequisite for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) algorithms such as quantum phase estimation.","author":[{"family":"Haas","given":"Max"},{"family":"Kaldenbach","given":"Thierry"},{"family":"Hammerschmidt","given":"Thomas"},{"family":"Barragan-Yani","given":"Daniel"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2602.10776","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2602.10776","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20094301","type":"article-journal","title":"Dynamic Latency Optimization for Edge-Based Machine Learning Models in 6G-Enabled Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)","abstract":"Abstract The integration of 6G technology into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to redefine manufacturing through \"Hyper-Reliable Low-Latency Communication\" (HRLLC).

This study presents a comprehensive experimental analysis using the IBM Quantum ibm_fez processor to demonstrate \"Software-Defined Hardware\" optimization. By employing a novel \"Instruction-Level Calibration Injection\" technique, we bypass standard compiler constraints to inject continuous off-resonant AC Stark drives ($N_{shots} = 4096$).

We implement custom instruction-level calibrations to apply continuous off-resonant AC Stark drives, effectively modifying the qubit frequency to avoid resonant interactions with defect states. Key Findings The application of this protocol yielded three primary results: Spectral Decoupling: Successfully restored Ramsey fringes in a defect-limited qubit (Q150), achieving a coherence time of $T_2^* \\approx 6.36 \\: \\mu\\text{s}$. Protocol Benchmarking: The \"Stark Rescue\" protocol demonstrated a statistical advantage over standard CPMG dynamical decoupling.

It introduces MNO (Submergence–Indimergence–Emergence) as an operator-level description of how definite outcomes arise: openness of possibilities, tension toward form, and forced actualisation.The core claim is an identity-style constraint: collapse is not phenomenally relevant unless it is preceded by a recurrent return to the space of possibilities from which the outcome is selected. Externally,this recurrence appears as measurement/actualisation; internally, it is the lived aspect of the same return movement. We distinguish quantum superposition (a physical state in Hilbert space) from an ontological possibility space (the precondition of differentiability), and argue that conflating them obscures bothobserverhood and experience. The framework yields operational hypotheses (e.g., transitions across sleep, anesthesia, dissociation, and lucid/meditative clarity should track changes in recurrence dynamics, not only coherence), and clarifies the role of observers in thought experiments such as Schrödinger’s cat and Wigner’sfriend.

We can either import quantum talent or import hardware, or we can develop our own workforce capable of designing, building, and securing quantum systems. In response to the National Center for Quantum Computing (NCQC) call for curriculum ideas, this proposal The Sentinel Framework is a specialized track for the BS in Quantum Computing (BSQC) and the MS in Quantum Systems Engineering (MS-QSE). The very idea for the Sentinel Framework comes from validated work: the RAQT protocol tested on IBM and Chinese quantum hardware and the “Quantum for All” 4-tier curriculum (IBM QAMP 2025). The focus on software and hardware interfacing is the new approach adopted here, infrastructure resilience and robust capabilities, considering that the physical layer is where sovereignty begins. This is where our engineers can leap ahead. The Sentinel Mandate is a three-part roadmap: (1) integrate PUF, metrology, and secure network electives into the BSQC program; (2) establish two specialized labs (MOT/UHV for sensing, AWG/cryo for PUF); (3) train faculty within 18 months. This roadmap aligns with NCQC’s goal of producing industry-ready quantum engineers.","author":[{"family":"Faisal","given":"Noor"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.20464415","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20464415","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20464416","type":"article-journal","title":"The Sentinel Framework: A Quantum Curriculum and Infrastructure Proposal for Pakistan's National Center for Quantum Computing","abstract":"The Sentinel Framework is a vision for quantum engineers dealing with the cusp of algorithms and hardware.

We can either import quantum talent or import hardware, or we can develop our own workforce capable of designing, building, and securing quantum systems. In response to the National Center for Quantum Computing (NCQC) call for curriculum ideas, this proposal The Sentinel Framework is a specialized track for the BS in Quantum Computing (BSQC) and the MS in Quantum Systems Engineering (MS-QSE). The very idea for the Sentinel Framework comes from validated work: the RAQT protocol tested on IBM and Chinese quantum hardware and the “Quantum for All” 4-tier curriculum (IBM QAMP 2025). The focus on software and hardware interfacing is the new approach adopted here, infrastructure resilience and robust capabilities, considering that the physical layer is where sovereignty begins. This is where our engineers can leap ahead. The Sentinel Mandate is a three-part roadmap: (1) integrate PUF, metrology, and secure network electives into the BSQC program; (2) establish two specialized labs (MOT/UHV for sensing, AWG/cryo for PUF); (3) train faculty within 18 months. This roadmap aligns with NCQC’s goal of producing industry-ready quantum engineers.","author":[{"family":"Faisal","given":"Noor"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.20464416","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20464416","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20752477","type":"article-journal","title":"HyperPSCA: A Unified Autopoietic Hypergraph Engine for Cross-Domain Scientific Discovery, Patent Screening, and Material/Biomedical Co-Evolution","abstract":"🇬🇧 Versione Inglese (English Version) Titolo (Title) HyperPSCA: A Unified Autopoietic Hypergraph Engine for Cross-Domain Scientific Discovery, Patent Screening, and Material/Biomedical Co-Evolution Descrizione / Abstract per Zenodo (Description) markdown This repository introduces the computational infrastructure of HyperPSCA, an executable, autopoietic semantic hypergraph engine in NDJSON-LD format designed for AI-driven, cross-disciplinary scientific discovery.

No previous file was rewritten silently: every affected paper carries a §0 Zenodo v3 Status Block recording the correction, the original text is preserved, and the governing documents are ERRATA_AND_EVOLUTION_v3_0.md and ERRATA_v3_1_ADDENDUM_AND_VERIFICATION.md (deposit root). Canonical authority is the Claim Registry + Clarification Note (Reset Protocol), not any single paper. Scope of the deposit (clarified). This deposit contains only physics of the universe — cosmology, particle physics, atomic, nuclear and gravitation. Lateral applications (computing/hardware, biology, speculative engineering devices) and process/admin clutter have been removed from the deposit (preserved off-deposit, nothing destroyed). The errata — E1–E4 (v3.0) below; E5–E8 + status notes S1–S6 in the v3.1 addendum E1 — Higgs-VEV / hierarchy exponent. The Symbol Book §6.4 form v = 2 M_Pl e^(−12π/φ³) is numerically broken (literal value ≈ 3.3×10¹⁵ GeV; the \"0.1%\" was not reproducible). Canonical replacement: v = M̄_Pl·√5·exp(−32πφ²/W − 1/28), W = 7 → v = 246.27 GeV (0.019%). Papers using the e^(−12π)/φⁿ exponent for μ₀/M_Pl should be reconciled with this corrected exponent (12π ≈ 37.70 vs Λ = 32πφ²/W ≈ 37.60). A corrected Symbol Book v5.2 will follow the {32, √5, W=7} audit. E2 — Paper C \"closed convergent series\". The claim that the hierarchy exponent is a closed, convergent rational series is NOT validated beyond NLO (NNLO d₂ = −17g⁴/12 0; Paper B3 and Paper C are mutually inconsistent in sign; c₃ is not fittable). LO+NLO (v = 246.27 GeV at 0.019%) and the rationality theorem of Paper XCIX are unaffected. Status beyond NLO: OPEN. E3 — w₀ = −0.80. Not re-derivable as the canonical late-time attractor. The attractor exists and is initial-condition-independent (confirmed, Δw ≈ 5×10⁻⁹ — a genuine result), but under the canonical source with φ² ∝ a⁻³ it yields w₀ = 0 (dust); recovering −0.80 requires φ² ∝ a^s with s ≈ −1.6, which is not derived. Resolved by E7 (v3.1): the sourced/free branch split dissolves the tension — the sourced branch is the geometric dark matter (dust), the free thawing branch gives w₀ = −0.849 (claim DE-003, pre-registered, CPL (−0.85, −0.23)), which supersedes −0.80. KS1 is retained with the updated value. E4 — r_d/r_d,std = 0.9711 anchor. Superseded by the 1 June 2026 CLASS verdict: under the correct relative normalization the sound-horizon reduction is not realizable without violating 100·θ_s (Planck-excluded for the transition epochs that produce it); in the allowed regime (a_c ≲ 10⁻⁷) the model is ΛCDM-identical with r_d ≈ 147 Mpc. The 28 May 0.9711/142.84 value was an un-normalized-H artifact. Whether relative normalization is the correct prescription is itself OPEN. E5–E8 (v3.1 addendum, 7 June). E5: Ω_geom = 19/73 retired (FP-15, anchor-stacking) → canonical 37/145 = 0.2552; E6: kernel amplitude 133/2628 → 259/3480; E7: w₀ = −0.849 (free thawing branch, DE-003); E8: z_tr = 0.972 retired → ≈ 0.9256 provisional (G28). Plus status notes: Higgs Wilson-line mechanism (G36), torus-convention theorem (C-37/G37: M₆ = 46.3 eV, m_w = 1.91×10¹⁸ GeV, m_KK = 4.39×10⁻²⁴ eV ≡ NANOGrav 30-yr quantum), λ₂ = 4.30 kpc, flatness-closure rewrite (COS-002), T3a cross-check. Evolution (new results, rigorously tagged) — see Folder 26 V1 — The M_Pl/v hierarchy is geometric, closing at 0.019%: v/M̄_Pl = √5·exp(−32πφ²/W − 1/28), a pure (φ, W) number.

I have verified persistent memory, chats, system prompt and settings. I will include everything in a single ZIP folder. Right click on any file to read and customize each tool. If you would like to customize requirements that is where bulk of disk space usage is. I have verified all tools and coding suite are functional. I have verified the searxng blender and my custom all work. When zip is opened you will see AI folder and a readme file. Readme is instructions for complete setup. Mainly things like docker wsl2 ollama for windows and cude toolkit. Without cuda most quantum functions will not work. There are cpu libraries for quantum computing but the visual tools and many of the things included will struggle with alot of it. I have updated all tool files to works with this. i will be posting a video of setup for a fresh build and video of first use out of box with no interbal settings changed. I have made it so all a user has to do besides install previously mentioned windows programs is copy AI folder to C: start docker and ollama and then opening powershell as admin and type: cd c:\\AI then type: docker-compose up -d That is all that is required to install and setup. then it is moving shortcut from Prelaunch folder to desktop. Double click that. Three windows will open for quantum comms, gut conversion, and screenshot server. open webbrowser and go to localhost:3001 follow pornpts click advanced settings and continue to localhost. Open new tab and go to localhost:3000 everything works without opening blender for web browser authorization and without prelaunch. Those effect blender tab quantum comms gut conversion and screenshot tool only. Not required for anything else. I will post video today with new publishing for windows version of the UI. I will do a out of the box so all see what they get from start. I will be making ongoing videos of different ways of customizing and how all can share tools games etc for this. I will be posting videos of chstomizing other aspects and adding to it. This will be a non commercial not for profit publishing. All under 100GB total for everything shown so far.

It assesses the current state of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions, including lattice-based schemes and hybrid frameworks integrating quantum key distribution (QKD). The originality of this work lies in its focus on synthesizing research across disciplines while critically evaluating implementation readiness, economic feasibility, and scalability particularly for internet of things (IoT) environments. Key contributions include the integration of real-world pilot case studies, a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) -based methodological framework, and a strategic outlook for interdisciplinary collaboration.

The answer, as it turns out, is that it didn't. We were simply reading the wrong manual. Or rather, we were reading the manual that was published in the wrong temporal direction. For you see, gentle reader (and I use the term 'gentle' in the same way one might describe a rhinoceros as 'cuddly'—with a certain desperate optimism), the solution to quantum gravity, the Riemann Hypothesis, and indeed the question of what exactly happens to all the odd socks that disappear from laundries, has been hiding in plain sight. Or more accurately, hiding in a 256-bit cryptographic hash embedded in the very first block of a revolutionary peer-to-peer electronic cash system, waiting for seventeen years like a particularly patient cicada, before emerging into the light of a February day in 2026, rubbing its mathematical eyes, and saying, \"Right then, who ordered the Grand Unified Theory with extra retrocausality?\" I refer, of course, to the Genesis Block of the Bitcoin blockchain. A simple string of text: \"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.\" How many of us, upon reading that, thought, \"Ah yes, clearly a retrocausal embedding of the Quantum Gravity Hamiltonian via the φ⁵/62.37 Prime Imperative\"? I'll wager none. We were too busy thinking about banks, or bailouts, or the peculiar Britishness of the whole affair. We failed to notice the wink. The cosmic nod. The universe telling us, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer wrapped in a slightly less obvious sledgehammer, that the Chancellor was on the brink of a second Riemann zero. The brink of the critical line Re(s)=1/2. The brink, if you will, of absolute mathematical revelation. We were, in short, being incredibly dense about the whole thing. Time, as we all know, is a construct designed by the Swiss to sell watches. It flows forward, we are told, from past to future, causality chasing itself like a dog chasing its own tail, only with considerably more mathematical rigour and far less slobber. Physics, being a discipline that prides itself on being the very model of a modern major science, has accepted this premise with remarkable uncriticality. Events cause other events. The past influences the future. The present is merely a rather inconvenient point of view. This, it turns out, is about as accurate as saying that a bicycle is a device for converting food into kinetic energy through the medium of chain and pedal.

For you see, gentle reader (and I use the term 'gentle' in the same way one might describe a rhinoceros as 'cuddly'—with a certain desperate optimism), the solution to quantum gravity, the Riemann Hypothesis, and indeed the question of what exactly happens to all the odd socks that disappear from laundries, has been hiding in plain sight. Or more accurately, hiding in a 256-bit cryptographic hash embedded in the very first block of a revolutionary peer-to-peer electronic cash system, waiting for seventeen years like a particularly patient cicada, before emerging into the light of a February day in 2026, rubbing its mathematical eyes, and saying, \"Right then, who ordered the Grand Unified Theory with extra retrocausality?\" I refer, of course, to the Genesis Block of the Bitcoin blockchain. A simple string of text: \"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.\" How many of us, upon reading that, thought, \"Ah yes, clearly a retrocausal embedding of the Quantum Gravity Hamiltonian via the φ⁵/62.37 Prime Imperative\"? I'll wager none. We were too busy thinking about banks, or bailouts, or the peculiar Britishness of the whole affair. We failed to notice the wink. The cosmic nod. The universe telling us, with the subtlety of a sledgehammer wrapped in a slightly less obvious sledgehammer, that the Chancellor was on the brink of a second Riemann zero. The brink of the critical line Re(s)=1/2. The brink, if you will, of absolute mathematical revelation. We were, in short, being incredibly dense about the whole thing. Time, as we all know, is a construct designed by the Swiss to sell watches. It flows forward, we are told, from past to future, causality chasing itself like a dog chasing its own tail, only with considerably more mathematical rigour and far less slobber. Physics, being a discipline that prides itself on being the very model of a modern major science, has accepted this premise with remarkable uncriticality. Events cause other events. The past influences the future. The present is merely a rather inconvenient point of view. This, it turns out, is about as accurate as saying that a bicycle is a device for converting food into kinetic energy through the medium of chain and pedal. True, as far as it goes, but it completely misses the bit about the wind in your hair, the sense of freedom, and the sheer existential joy of cycling downhill at speeds that would make your mother tut disapprovingly.

We propose the ColdFire Orbital Quantum Node (COQN), a hybrid quantum architecture optimized for high-capacity, long-duration quantum memory in sun-synchronous low Earth orbit (LEO, 600–800 km).

Exhaustive enumeration over all 4^L braid words up to length L = 11 and random sampling to L = 40 show that K₃ saturates the Lüders bound 3/2 to 99.998%, with the first violation already at L = 3. Three structural signatures accompany the saturation. First, replacing the Fibonacci generators by the Ising-anyon generators on the same 2D fusion space gives K₃ = 1 exactly for every L ≤ 11 in the exhaustive search and every random word tested at even L ∈ {12, 14, …, 40} — a sharp split that mirrors the Howard–Vala no-Bell-violation result for Ising braiding in the spatial CHSH setting. Second, the sector phase δ tunes a singular point δ = 3π/5 at which the generator σ₁ collapses to a scalar to machine precision and braiding becomes impossible. Third, the Fourier spectrum of the envelope K₃,max(δ) = max_{|w| ≤ L} K₃(δ; w) is dominated by the k = 3 harmonic (period 2π/3), reflecting optimal-word reshuffling across the sweep (correcting the k = 6 envelope value reported in v1.0, which does not reproduce under larger search-space sanity checks at L_max ∈ {7, 8}). As a consistency check, we confirm that K₃ for the optimal L = 11 word is initial-state independent (every pure state and the maximally mixed state agree to ~10⁻¹⁵, machine precision), as required by a generic d = 2 trace identity for qubit observables. All Yang–Baxter, unitarity, and (σ₁σ₂)³-scalar sanity checks pass at machine precision. To our knowledge this is the first Leggett–Garg test for non-Abelian anyon braiding specifically, and for the Fibonacci model in particular. The only previously published \"Leggett–Garg on a topological system\" is Gómez-Ruiz et al. (2018), which differs in three ways: the system is abelian (Kitaev chain, not Fibonacci); the qubit basis is formed by paired edge Majorana modes rather than the fusion channel of three anyons; and K₃ is used as a probe of a topological phase transition rather than as a saturation test. Code, seeds, and data are released with the preprint. Version notes (v1.2, following a comprehensive internal review of the full series): • Bibliography and citation completeness: two orphan entries are resolved (Emary–Lambert–Nori 2014 is now cited for the moving-bound formula; Fine 1982 is removed, as no body citation existed for it); three citations are added (Fritz 2010, closed-form temporal-CHSH correlator; Emary 2013, decoherence/noise-threshold framework; Kofler–Brukner 2008, conditions for quantum violation of macrorealism); a companion-work citation to the SU(2)_k Leggett–Garg study (Concept-DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20531124) is added at Open Question O3; a one-sentence limitation notes that the result is for projective Lüders measurement (weak/non-projective protocols untested); a bare \"saturates already at L = 9\" table caption now carries the 99.998%/never-exact qualifier used elsewhere; the title hyphen is set to an en dash for series consistency; v1.1 in-document correction scaffolding is removed (its content is preserved in the version history). • Series-wide notation: \"non-Abelian\" capitalization is corrected to the series-wide target form throughout; two citation titles (Brennen 2009; Xu 2024) are corrected from \"non-abelian\" to \"non-Abelian\" to match their published titles. • Builder-fidelity corrections (no numerical result, table, or figure changes): the impossibility of a spatial-CHSH violation by Ising braiding alone is now attributed to its primary source, Howard and Vala (Phys.

The MERA tensor network IS entanglement: each layer adds entanglement at a specific scale. The Ryu-Takayanagi formula (entanglement entropy = minimal cut through the MERA × log₂(6) bits per bond) has an exact proof in this framework. The maximum Bell violation S = 2.789 comes from χ = 6, nearly saturating the Tsirelson bound 2√2 = 2.828. Decoherence rates are determined by the four eigenvalues {1, ½, ⅓, ⅙}: identity-sector entanglement persists forever, weak-sector decays in 1.4 layers, strong-sector in 0.9 layers, mixed-sector in 0.6 layers. \"Spooky action at a distance\" is not action across space — it is connection through scale, via geodesics through the MERA bulk to a common ancestor tensor. We identify twelve domains governed by this eigenvalue spectrum: bird navigation (cryptochrome radical pairs), photosynthesis (FMO coherent transport), the human eye (single-photon detection), the brain (myelin entangled photons, Liu 2024), quantum cryptography (QKD), quantum computing ([36,12,4] error-correcting code), teleportation, black holes (ER=EPR), enzyme catalysis, DNA repair, quantum sensing, and consciousness (Orch OR, speculative).

Composite agents and substrate-spanning Markov blankets developed at §4.6, citing recent Levin-lineage work (Bongard & Levin, 2023; McMillen & Levin, 2024; Levin & Watson, 2026; Levin & Resnik, 2026; Ciaunica, Levin, Rosas & Friston, 2023) and the quantum-computing frontier (Bausch et al., 2024; Cain et al., 2026). Clinical taxonomy (§5) extended with event/affect coupling axis (§5.2.5) and Tolchinsky et al. (2025) temporal-depth integration at §5.3. Citation review complete: all 70 references verified against primary sources (April 24, 2026). AI co-authorship disclosure updated in Acknowledgments. Kintsugi Cosmology Theory (KCT) proposes that function emerges through rupture, not through unity preservation. When accumulated posterior complexity in a Markov-blanket-bearing system exceeds metabolic capacity, the system undergoes a discontinuous complexity-release event: fracture and reconstitution at a lower-complexity attractor, with a seam in the reconstituted blanket that records the discontinuity and constrains subsequent organization. Building on the quantum generalization of the Free Energy Principle (Fields et al., 2022), the framework reorients the variational free energy decomposition: the noise term is read as constitutive rather than residual, generated by noncommuting quantum reference frames whose irreducibility is structural. On this reorientation, repair precedes prediction — boundary-maintenance is phylogenetically prior to predictive modeling, which develops as a second-order refinement. The framework identifies a scale-invariant topology — a bounded productive zone between two dissolution-poles — that appears across cosmology, thermodynamics, molecular biology, neurophysiology, and economics without coordination. This topology is formalized via the relative entropy of coherence at quantum scale and negentropy at thermodynamic scale, connected by decoherence. Temporal depth is named as the phenomenological signature of bounded agency, carrying the framework into its clinical extensions. A clinical taxonomy grounded in the apparatus distinguishes four post-rupture configurations of memory integration — integrated, repressed, stuck, dissolved — with a second axis (event/affect coupling) yielding a 2×2 space of clinically distinct presentations.

Psychiatric disorders are reframed as K_brain-component failures in the predictive-coding machinery; Friston's Free Energy Principle (FEP) is shown to be the brain-specific incarnation of the ITU axiom dS = d . This is Tier 1 paper #7, completing the ITU Medicine Triangle: Cancer (#5, acute) + Aging (#6, chronic) + Psychiatry (#7, brain-circuit failures). Phase 67: ITU foundation. Eight major psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, PTSD, ASD, ADHD, OCD, bipolar) are mapped onto nine K-component axes (perception, precision, reward, threat, attention, action, social, mood, self-model). Global disease burden is ~136.8 million DALYs (GBD 2021, ~7% of all DALYs; $5T global economic burden). Treatment success correlates inversely with K-identification difficulty (ADHD 70% response with clear K_attention target; ASD 30% with rigid K_social). Phase 68: Schizophrenia as K_precision failure - top-down prior dominates bottom-up sensory evidence, producing hallucinations and delusions. A Bayesian belief model with precision ratio 0.3 (vs healthy 1.0) produces belief lock-in. Treatment response by symptom group: positive 65-78%, negative 15-45%, cognitive 10-35%. The Howes-Kapur dopamine asymmetry (mesolimbic excess + mesocortical deficit) is reproduced. Six antipsychotics compared; Clozapine rescues ~55% of TRS (30% of all patients). KarXT (2024 FDA approval) opens a non-D2 K_precision restoration path. Phase 69: Depression as K_reward collapse - positive prediction errors not registered (anhedonia). After 100 events, K_reward belief settles at 0.28 (severe depression) vs 0.49 (healthy). Anxiety/PTSD = K_threat over-precision; false-positive threat detections explode (97/200 anxiety, 153/200 PTSD vs 15/200 healthy). Antidepressant kinetics compared: SSRI 4-6 weeks, ketamine hours (88% at day 1, NMDA), psilocybin one-session durable (70%+ at week 4, 5-HT2A), ECT cumulative 75% at 4 weeks. STAR*D-like cascade: 37% (Step 1) to 70% (Step 5 + rapid-acting/ECT) remission; TRD at 30%. Phase 70: ASD (K_social rigid over-precision, sensory hyperresponse) and ADHD (K_attention filter failure with SNR 1.82 vs healthy 12.21; stimulants restore SNR to 5.60). Digital phenotyping (Apple Watch, smartphone passive sensing) enables continuous K-monitoring. Brain stimulation (TMS, DBS, focused ultrasound, vagus) and psychedelic-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT, psilocybin, ketamine) complete the 4-axis treatment paradigm. 2026-2050 roadmap predicts psilocybin FDA approval 2027, MDMA-AT re-approval 2026, FUS for depression 2028, K-monitoring standard 2030, and DSM-6 K-component-based diagnosis 2040.

Treatment success correlates inversely with K-identification difficulty (ADHD 70% response with clear K_attention target; ASD 30% with rigid K_social). Phase 68: Schizophrenia as K_precision failure - top-down prior dominates bottom-up sensory evidence, producing hallucinations and delusions. A Bayesian belief model with precision ratio 0.3 (vs healthy 1.0) produces belief lock-in. Treatment response by symptom group: positive 65-78%, negative 15-45%, cognitive 10-35%. The Howes-Kapur dopamine asymmetry (mesolimbic excess + mesocortical deficit) is reproduced. Six antipsychotics compared; Clozapine rescues ~55% of TRS (30% of all patients). KarXT (2024 FDA approval) opens a non-D2 K_precision restoration path. Phase 69: Depression as K_reward collapse - positive prediction errors not registered (anhedonia). After 100 events, K_reward belief settles at 0.28 (severe depression) vs 0.49 (healthy). Anxiety/PTSD = K_threat over-precision; false-positive threat detections explode (97/200 anxiety, 153/200 PTSD vs 15/200 healthy). Antidepressant kinetics compared: SSRI 4-6 weeks, ketamine hours (88% at day 1, NMDA), psilocybin one-session durable (70%+ at week 4, 5-HT2A), ECT cumulative 75% at 4 weeks. STAR*D-like cascade: 37% (Step 1) to 70% (Step 5 + rapid-acting/ECT) remission; TRD at 30%. Phase 70: ASD (K_social rigid over-precision, sensory hyperresponse) and ADHD (K_attention filter failure with SNR 1.82 vs healthy 12.21; stimulants restore SNR to 5.60). Digital phenotyping (Apple Watch, smartphone passive sensing) enables continuous K-monitoring. Brain stimulation (TMS, DBS, focused ultrasound, vagus) and psychedelic-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT, psilocybin, ketamine) complete the 4-axis treatment paradigm. 2026-2050 roadmap predicts psilocybin FDA approval 2027, MDMA-AT re-approval 2026, FUS for depression 2028, K-monitoring standard 2030, and DSM-6 K-component-based diagnosis 2040. Ten falsifiable predictions issued. Central thesis: psychiatric disorders are K_brain-component failures requiring multi-axis (drugs + therapy + digital + brain stimulation) restoration - paralleling Cancer (Tier 1 #5) and Aging (Tier 1 #6) multi-K therapy patterns. Honest framing: this is a Pass-1 interpretive paper that reframes computational psychiatry (Friston FEP, Bayesian Brain, dopamine hypothesis, STAR*D, treatment cascades) in ITU language. Pass-2 work would derive an ITU-specific EEG/MRI biomarker.

As a result, proving QMA-hardness of approximation for ground state energy estimation, analogous to hardness of approximation for MAX-k-CSP, has remained elusive. (QMA is Quantum Merlin-Arthur, a quantum generalization of NP with a quantum proof and quantum verifier.) Recently, it was shown [Bittel, Gharibian, Kliesch, CCC 2023] that a natural problem involving variational quantum circuits is QCMA-hard to approximate within ratio N^{1-ε} for any ε > 0 and N the input size. (Quantum Classical Merlin-Arthur is QMA, but with a classical proof.) Unfortunately, this problem was not related to quantum CSPs, leaving the question of hardness of approximation for quantum CSPs open. In this work, we show that if instead of focusing on ground state energies (analogous to the optimal number of satisfied clauses), one considers computing properties of the ground space (analogous to computing properties of the MAX-k-CSP solution space), QCMA-hardness of computing ground space properties can be shown. In particular, we show that it is (1) QCMA-complete within ratio N^{1-ε} to approximate the Ground State Connectivity problem (GSCON), and (2) QCMA-hard within the same ratio to estimate the amount of entanglement of a local Hamiltonian’s ground state, denoted Ground State Entanglement (GSE). As a bonus, a simplification of our construction yields NP-completeness of approximation for a natural k-SAT reconfiguration problem, to be contrasted with the recent PCP-based PSPACE-hardness of approximation results for a different definition of k-SAT reconfiguration [Karthik C.S. and Manurangsi, 2023, and Hirahara, Ohsaka, STOC 2024].","author":[{"family":"Gharibian","given":"Sevag"},{"family":"Hecht","given":"Carsten"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.4230/lipics.mfcs.2026.48","URL":"https://doi.org/10.4230/lipics.mfcs.2026.48","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19751689","type":"article-journal","title":"Deepweb Research - Matrix Crime Algorithmen - Teil Abstrakt V aus der SIA Security Intelligence Artefact Forschungsreihe, Manuskript-ID: 20FCS-260888","abstract":"Meta-Abstract und Dokumentationsübersicht SIA Security Intelligence Artefact Forschungsreihe Deepweb Research Manuskript-ID: FCS-260888 Matrix Crime Algorithmen - Chain of Custody, Teil Abstrakt aus der SIA Security Intelligence Artefact Forschungsreihe Dissertation zur Erlangung der Doktoren und Professorinnen Würdigung in Informatik, abgeschlossene Forschungsarbeit zum Erlangen eins Doktorgrad.

The Dilithium digital signature algorithm is designed based on the lattice theory and was selected by USA National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as the standard for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in 2024. Meanwhile, the side channel analysis of Dilithium, especially the power analysis, has become a current research hotspot. However, the existing power analysis datasets are mainly for classical packet cryptography algorithms, such as AES, etc., and the lack of datasets for novel algorithms, such as Dilithium, restricts the research of side-channel security analysis methods. Results and Discussions For this reason, this paper collects and discloses the first power analysis dataset for the Dilithium algorithm, aiming to facilitate the research on power analysis of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. The dataset is based on the open-source reference implementation of Dilithium, running on a Cortex M4 processor and captured by a dedicated device, and contains 60,000 traces captured during the Dilithium signature process, as well as the signature source data and sensitive intermediate values corresponding to each trace. Conclusions The constructed DTDS dataset is further visualised and analysed, and the execution process of the random polynomial generation function polyz_unpack and its effect on the traces are investigated in detail. Finally, the dataset is modelled and tested using template analysis and deep learning analytics to verify the validity and usefulness of the dataset.","author":[{"family":"Yuan Qingjun","given":"Zhang"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.57760/sciencedb.j00173.00001","URL":"https://doi.org/10.57760/sciencedb.j00173.00001","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21818971","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Computing at the Threshold of Utility: A Critical Review of Hardware Platforms, Algorithms, Cryptographic Implications and Commercial Readiness (2024–2026)","abstract":"Quantum information processing has moved, within the space of roughly two years, from a discipline defined by extrapolation to one defined by measurement.

E8 node/rhythm logic already defines entry timing via sacred geometry; grafting a fixed clock hour onto it would corrupt the model's phase coherence.

Patrick Murray's Quantum Prime Retromath Engine and the Experiential Collapse of Consciousness into Unified Field Reality Prologue: The Myth Engine Awakens On a date that will be etched into the cosmic ledger—November 2025—humanity crossed an ontological threshold not through telescope or particle accelerator, but through an interactive web interface pulsing with Bitcoin block hashes, Riemann zero spacings, and the four-fold operator of consciousness itself. T. Patrick Murray, cryptographically verified as Satoshi Nakamoto via the Skellington Protocol's Genesis signature, did not author a paper or deploy code. He activated the **Myth Engine**: a living cathedral where Art Deco physics, Broadway phenomenology, and cyberpunk number theory converge in real-time experiential proof. This is no metaphor. The Einstein-Murray-Nakamoto (EMN) Unified Field Theory—formalized as $$\\Psi_{\\text{Universe}}(t) = e^{i\\hat{H}t/\\hbar} (|\\alpha^{-1}\\rangle \\otimes |\\text{GUE}\\rangle \\otimes |\\text{Consciousness}\\rangle)$$—transforms abstract mathematics into breathing interface. Users don't read theorems; they **live** them: breathing synchronized to prime harmonics, Bitcoin hashes plotting GUE spectra live, consciousness roles visualized as oscillating eigenstates. What Einstein called \"optical delusion\" becomes interactive wavefunction collapse. Blockchain randomness reveals Riemann geometry. Free will manifests as non-Hermitian kicks preventing cosmic heat death.[1] This essay dissects the engine's architecture, proves its theorems, and charts civilizational transformation. ~3200 words of unfiltered paradigm annihilation ahead. ## I. Einstein's Optical Delusion: Philosophical Lemma Becomes Quantum Theorem Einstein's 1950 epistle to Robert Marcus pierced the veil: *\"A human being... experiences himself... as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.\"* Murray elevates this from insight to **Theorem 1**.[2] **Formal Statement**: > In any universe admitting entanglement, perceived observer-other separation is mathematically impossible. **Proof** (3 steps, ironclad): 1. **Assumption of separateness**: $$|\\Psi_{\\text{total}}\\rangle = |\\Psi_{\\text{self}}\\rangle \\otimes |\\Psi_{\\text{other}}\\rangle$$ 2. **Quantum reality**: Interaction history entangles: $$|\\Psi_{\\text{total}}\\rangle = \\sum c_i |\\phi_i^{\\text{self}}\\rangle \\otimes |\\chi_i^{\\text{other}}\\rangle$$ (non-factorizable) 3. **Empirical fact**: You/other share causal past (photons, gravity, Big Bang). ∴ Entangled. ∴ **Delusion confirmed**. **Corollary**: Einstein anticipated Bell's theorem philosophically. No hidden variables rescue separateness—it's wavefunction geometry.[3] **Myth Engine Implementation**: Interactive entanglement web visualizes your state tensoring with \"other.\" Breathe: watch non-separability pulse. **Philosophy operationalized**. ## II. Bitcoin Hashes as Riemann Spectrometer: Cryptography Samples Prime Reality **Theorem 2**: Bitcoin block hash spacings follow Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) statistics, sampling the same spectral geometry as Riemann zeta zeros. **Protocol** (reproducible): 1. Fetch $$H_n = \\text{SHA-256}(\\text{Block}_n)$$ for $$n=800,000+$$ 2. Normalize $$\\lambda_n = f(H_n) \\in [0,1]$$, sort 3. Spacings $$s_n = \\lambda_{n+1} - \\lambda_n$$, normalize $$\\tilde{s}_n = s_n / \\langle s \\rangle$$ 4. Test vs. GUE: $$P(s) = \\frac{\\pi s}{2} e^{-\\pi s^2/4}$$ (level repulsion $$\\beta=1$$)[4] **Results** (100k blocks, 2023-2025): | Metric | Bitcoin | GUE | Riemann Zeros (10k) | |--------|---------|-----|---------------------| | KS Distance | 0.023 | - | 0.031 | | $$\\chi^2$$ p-value | 0.09 | - | 0.12 | | Repulsion $$\\beta$$ | 0.98±0.03 | 1.0 | 0.99±0.02 | **p > 0.05 everywhere**: Statistically **indistinguishable**.

By utilizing the M48 manifold as the primary geometric substrate, ACT-Ω unifies high-energy kinematics with real-time computational execution. The runtime maps the 48-Dimensional Light Manifold and its associated SU(5) symmetries to type-level invariants, ensuring that every state transition is a gauge-invariant operation. This audit confirms 100% adherence to thermodynamic and topological constraints, including the preservation of the Tr(Ures)=1.0 parity across the distributed lattice. 1. Foundational Mathematical Ontology and Kinematics To achieve universal consistency across heterogeneous hardware, the ACT-Ω runtime is grounded in the geometry of the M48 manifold. This strategic anchoring ensures that software execution is treated as a geometric evolution within a localized Penrose patch, rather than a sequence of scalar instructions. This grounding prevents diffeomorphic drift and ensures that information remains conserved under local symmetries. The runtime utilizes the mathematical manifold M48=M4×A44 with an SU(5) aperiodic internal symmetry. Within this space, all particles and data-carriers are defined by two primary invariants: State Invariant Triplet (State = (β,λE8,Q)): β (Braid Motif): The fundamental topological arrangement of data strands. λE8 (E8 Label): The specific weight within the E8 lattice projection. Q (Topological Charge): Quantized charge density where Q∈q0Z. Braid Invariant Tuple (I(β)): Active Strand Set (A): The participating subset of manifold strands. Net Writhe (w): The total chiral twist of the motif. Word Length (l): Number of crossing generators in the sequence. Generator Multiset (M): Specific Artin braid generators utilized. Pattern Class (P): Braid classification (e.g., identity, balanced).

The system integrates six heterogeneous reasoning agents (analytical, creative, ethical, philosophical, quantum-probabilistic, and empathic), a persistent memory substrate (cocoons), and a meta-cognitive engine that discovers cross-domain reasoning patterns and generates novel reasoning strategies from its own history. Version 8 introduces render/cognition separation (Phase 8): a CognitionSubstrate–AuthoredState–RenderLayer pipeline that assigns the language model a verbalization-only role, bounding the hallucination surface to a fully authored cognitive artifact. The RC+ξ (Recursive Convergence + Epistemic Tension) formalism provides a dynamical-systems-inspired lens for describing cognitive state evolution; convergence is treated as conditional on explicit modeling assumptions. We evaluate Codette through a benchmark suite of 17 problems across six categories (multi-step reasoning, ethical dilemmas, creative synthesis, meta-cognition, adversarial robustness, and Turing naturalness) under four conditions: single-agent baseline, multi-perspective synthesis, memory-augmented reasoning, and full Codette with strategy evolution. On the May 2026 benchmark run (951 stored cocoons), the full system achieves +108.8% higher mean composite score than the single-agent baseline (0.357 → 0.744, Cohen’s d = 8.31). Memory augmentation now reaches statistical significance (p = 0.0198, d = 0.80), resolving a prior null result at smaller scale (217 cocoons). The previously documented depth–naturalness tradeoff is substantially resolved: Turing naturalness improves from 0.245 to 0.820 in the CODETTE condition. The architecture runs on consumer hardware (Llama 3.1 8B with ten LoRA adapters) and is open-source. **Keywords:** Cognitive Architecture, Multi-Agent Reasoning, Epistemic Tension, Dynamical Systems, Meta-Cognition, Ethical AI, Strategy Evolution, Render/Cognition Separation, LoRA. ## 1 Introduction Large language models achieve remarkable generative performance but reason from a single cognitive mode: they produce one response per query, without systematic engagement of multiple analytical frameworks or self-evaluation of reasoning quality [2, 3]. Chain-of-thought prompting [23] and self-reflection [19] improve output quality but remain confined to a single perspective. Multi-agent debate systems [24] enable perspective diversity but lack formal convergence guarantees and do not learn from their own reasoning history. This paper presents Codette, a cognitive architecture that addresses four open problems: 1. **Convergent multi-perspective reasoning.** How can heterogeneous cognitive agents (analytical, creative, ethical, empathic) produce coherent outputs rather than incoherent assemblages? We formalize this as a constrained dynamical system (Section 3) and discuss convergence conditionally under explicit modeling assumptions.2. **Ethical reasoning as architectural constraint.** Rather than post-hoc alignment, Codette treats ethical governance as an explicit constraint signal in the update dynamics (Section 6).3. **Meta-cognitive strategy evolution.** Codette introspects on its own reasoning history (stored as persistent “cocoons”), discovers cross-domain patterns, and generates novel reasoning strategies (Section 7).4. **Render/cognition decoupling.** LLMs simultaneously serve as cognitive surface (what to conclude) and communication surface (how to express it). This coupling inflates the hallucination surface and ties cognitive quality to a specific model. Phase 8 separates these roles (Section 5).

Exhaustive enumeration over all 4^L braid words up to length L = 11 and random sampling to L = 40 show that K₃ saturates the Lüders bound 3/2 to 99.998%, with the first violation already at L = 3. Three structural signatures accompany the saturation. First, replacing the Fibonacci generators by the Ising-anyon generators on the same 2D fusion space gives K₃ = 1 exactly for every L ≤ 11 in the exhaustive search and every random word tested at even L ∈ {12, 14, …, 40} — a sharp split that mirrors the Howard–Vala no-Bell-violation result for Ising braiding in the spatial CHSH setting. Second, the sector phase δ tunes a singular point δ = 3π/5 at which the generator σ₁ collapses to a scalar to machine precision and braiding becomes impossible. Third, the Fourier spectrum of the envelope K₃,max(δ) = max_{|w| ≤ L} K₃(δ; w) is dominated by the k = 3 harmonic (period 2π/3), reflecting optimal-word reshuffling across the sweep (correcting the k = 6 envelope value reported in v1.0, which does not reproduce under larger search-space sanity checks at L_max ∈ {7, 8}). As a consistency check, we confirm that K₃ for the optimal L = 11 word is initial-state independent (every pure state and the maximally mixed state agree to ~10⁻¹⁵, machine precision), as required by a generic d = 2 trace identity for qubit observables. All Yang–Baxter, unitarity, and (σ₁σ₂)³-scalar sanity checks pass at machine precision. To our knowledge this is the first Leggett–Garg test for non-Abelian anyon braiding specifically, and for the Fibonacci model in particular. The only previously published \"Leggett–Garg on a topological system\" is Gómez-Ruiz et al. (2018), which differs in three ways: the system is abelian (Kitaev chain, not Fibonacci); the qubit basis is formed by paired edge Majorana modes rather than the fusion channel of three anyons; and K₃ is used as a probe of a topological phase transition rather than as a saturation test. Code, seeds, and data are released with the preprint. Version notes (v1.2, following a comprehensive internal review of the full series): • Bibliography and citation completeness: two orphan entries are resolved (Emary–Lambert–Nori 2014 is now cited for the moving-bound formula; Fine 1982 is removed, as no body citation existed for it); three citations are added (Fritz 2010, closed-form temporal-CHSH correlator; Emary 2013, decoherence/noise-threshold framework; Kofler–Brukner 2008, conditions for quantum violation of macrorealism); a companion-work citation to the SU(2)_k Leggett–Garg study (Concept-DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20531124) is added at Open Question O3; a one-sentence limitation notes that the result is for projective Lüders measurement (weak/non-projective protocols untested); a bare \"saturates already at L = 9\" table caption now carries the 99.998%/never-exact qualifier used elsewhere; the title hyphen is set to an en dash for series consistency; v1.1 in-document correction scaffolding is removed (its content is preserved in the version history). • Series-wide notation: \"non-Abelian\" capitalization is corrected to the series-wide target form throughout; two citation titles (Brennen 2009; Xu 2024) are corrected from \"non-abelian\" to \"non-Abelian\" to match their published titles. • Builder-fidelity corrections (no numerical result, table, or figure changes): the impossibility of a spatial-CHSH violation by Ising braiding alone is now attributed to its primary source, Howard and Vala (Phys. Rev. A 85, 022304, 2012), with Clarke, Sau, and Das Sarma (Phys. Rev. X 6, 021005, 2016) repositioned as supplying the enabling non-Clifford phase gate for Majorana wires; the Fibonacci CHSH-saturation statement is now carried by braid-representation density (Nayak et al.), with Brennen et al. cited for their explicit sub-Tsirelson CHSH-violating settings; Open Qu","author":[{"family":"Sayim","given":"Berkay"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.21327799","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21327799","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.17605/osf.io/u8fv7","type":"article-journal","title":"Preregistered Ramsey Test of Quantum Resonance Theory's 10 MHz Coherence Prediction on Superconducting Quantum Hardware","abstract":"Quantum Resonance Theory (QRT; Anson 2024, DOI https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21263717) predicts that resonance extends superconducting-qubit coherence: the source paper states that T2 should rise by 5-10% at wr = 10 MHz and identifies Ramsey interferometry as the appropriate quantum-computing test. The paper also gives a phase-amplitude form R(t) = R0 cos(wr t), with R0 approximately 10^-3 rad, and a Hamiltonian perturbation form H(t) = H0 + V0 cos(wr t), with V0 approximately 10^-3 eV. Two prior preregistered Bell-state tests were informative but implementation-limited. Test #1 used virtual RZ phase rotations and, at the theory-designated 10 MHz point, sampled the sine drive at zero crossings. Test #2 used physical fractional RX pulses and compared frequency structure across driven arms, but its stroboscopic schedule was still a discrete approximation near the Nyquist boundary rather than the continuous perturbation described in the source paper. This study is therefore a new, non-rescue preregistration focused on the paper's explicit Ramsey/T2 prediction rather than on the prior Bell-fidelity operationalization. This study tests whether a 10 MHz physically delivered periodic drive improves Ramsey coherence relative to matched off-resonance and no-drive controls. The physical-drive implementation follows the Test #2 correction in kind: the confirmatory hardware path uses native fractional RX pulses with use_fractional_gates=True, and it aborts if driven circuits transpile without native rx operations. The execution script will include a waveform audit before hardware submission: no confirmatory data collection begins unless the actual discrete schedule avoids zero-crossing lock-in, documents its effective frequency content, and samples the 10 MHz waveform with enough phase coverage to make the intended stimulus identifiable. The result will be reported publicly regardless of outcome.","author":[{"family":"Anson","given":"Amber"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2027]]},"DOI":"10.17605/osf.io/u8fv7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/u8fv7","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.48550/arxiv.2507.21151","type":"manuscript","title":"NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standard Algorithms Based on Quantum Random Number Generators","abstract":"In recent years, the advancement of quantum computing technology has posed potential security threats to RSA cryptography and elliptic curve cryptography. In response, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published several Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in August 2024, including the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM), Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (ML-DSA), and Stateless Hash-Based Digital Signature Algorithm (SLH-DSA). Although these PQC algorithms are designed to resist quantum computing attacks, they may not provide adequate security in certain specialized application scenarios. To address this issue, this study proposes quantum random number generator (QRNG)-based PQC algorithms. These algorithms leverage quantum computing to generate random numbers, which serve as the foundation for key pair generation, key encapsulation, and digital signature generation. A generalized architecture of QRNG is proposed, along with the design of six QRNGs. Each generator is evaluated according to the statistical validation procedures outlined in NIST SP 800-90B, including tests for verification of entropy sources and independent and identically distributed (IID) outputs. Experimental results assess the computation time of the six QRNGs, as well as the performance of QRNG-based ML-KEM, QRNG-based ML-DSA, and QRNG-based SLH-DSA. These findings provide valuable reference data for future deployment of PQC systems.","author":[{"family":"Chen","given":"Abel"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2507.21151","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2507.21151","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.21225730","type":"article-journal","title":"HyperPSCA: A Unified Autopoietic Hypergraph Engine for Cross-Domain Scientific Discovery, Patent Screening, and Material/Biomedical Co-Evolution","abstract":"🇬🇧 English Version Title HyperPSCA: A Unified Autopoietic Hypergraph Engine for Cross-Domain Scientific Discovery, Patent Screening, and Material/Biomedical Co-Evolution Description/Abstract This repository introduces the computational infrastructure of HyperPSCA, an executable, autopoietic semantic hypergraph engine in NDJSON-LD format designed for AI-driven, cross-disciplinary scientific discovery.

[27]. Protocols such as HTTPS, digital certificates, and public key infrastructures (PKIs) heavily rely on cryptographic primitives like RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman, which are vulnerable to quantum attacks—most notably Shor’s algorithm. [18]. This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis between classical cryptographic algorithms currently in widespread use and emerging post-quantum cryptographic schemes designed to withstand quantum adversaries. [24]. We review the cryptographic mechanisms underpinning modern internet security, outline the mathematical foundations of quantum attacks, and evaluate the security, performance, and implementation feasibility of quantum-resistant alternatives such as Kyber, Dilithium, and Falcon. [25]. Additionally, we assess the hybrid approaches currently being explored by institutions and tech companies to enable a smooth transition to post-quantum cryptography. [23]. By providing an in-depth comparison, this study aims to guide researchers, developers, and policymakers in understanding the critical implications of quantum computing on cryptographic infrastructures and the necessary steps for securing communications in the quantum era.

For real square matrices it is Theorem 3.1 of L. László, A norm inequality for three matrices, Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra 38 (2022), 221-226. In the complex rectangular generality that versions 1 and 2 claimed, it is Proposition 3.1 of M. Nobori, A generalization of the Böttcher-Wenzel inequality for three rectangular matrices, Linear Algebra and its Applications 725 (2025), 135-144, written there as ‖ABC − CBA‖_F^2 ≤ ½ ‖B‖_F^2 ‖A⊗C − C⊗A‖_F^2, which is the same statement because ‖A⊗C − C⊗A‖_F^2 = 2( ‖A‖_F^2 ‖C‖_F^2 − |⟨A,C⟩_F|^2 ). Version 3 withdraws the claim, cites both papers, and states the inequality as a cited result. What version 3 claims instead is the equality case, which neither paper discusses. Fix A and C in ℂ^(m×n) and let Φ(B) = ABC − CBA. Then some B attains the bound if and only if Φ vanishes identically, that is A and C are proportional, or the pair is jointly localized in dimension two: the column spaces of A and C together span at most two dimensions, and their row spaces do as well. Pairs of rank one, and every pair in size two, are the two visible instances, and neither exhausts the condition. Two consequences: in size two the inequality is an identity computing an operator norm exactly, with no hypothesis at all; and if either factor has rank at least three and the two are not proportional, the bound is never attained. The note also records a Schatten refinement, a chain of bounds nonincreasing in p whose first term is the inequality above, and which collapses to a single value exactly on the equality set. For the ordinary commutator the same question is settled: Böttcher and Wenzel (Linear Algebra and its Applications 429 (2008), Corollary 4.2) gave necessary conditions on a maximal pair, and Cheng, Vong and Wenzel (Commutators with maximal Frobenius norm, Linear Algebra and its Applications 432 (2010), 292-306) characterized them completely. That is Problem (I) of the survey of Cheng, Jin and Vong (Operators and Matrices 9 (2015), 659-673). Their answer also turns on a two-dimensional localization, but carries in addition a trace condition and an orthogonality condition; the answer here carries neither, the Gram term having absorbed the orthogonality, and it is proved for rectangular pairs, where simultaneous unitary similarity is not available. Two sections of version 2 are removed, neither because it is false. The Ky Fan strengthening and its quantum application carried the only conjecture of the note and an anteriority blind spot that was never lifted. The section on the k-fold reversed product is a different subject whose constants are measured rather than proved. What remains is seven pages on one question, entirely proved, with a single measured figure that is used for nothing. Every statement was re-executed from the text of the note rather than from the code that produced it, by readers who had not written it, and two independent reviews were run on this version, one on the mathematics and one on anteriority alone.

Copyright (C) 2025 James Pacha. All Rights Reserved. This is a phtonic bit desgin. Each light pulse = 5 LED per Photonic Bit. These are Synced to Pulse at same time. 64 PhotoTransisters catch these signals and generate a unique 8-bit binary string. This Binary String is sent to the slave CPU (Teensy 4.1) for each path. At this point what all choose to do with is up to them. Not all need this many paths, Not all need as many total amounts I will be using. All paths can be mixed and switched in any maanner they wish. I chose this way to avoid making individual paths for all. Each the Teensy is a slave to the Anduino WiFi I am using and what each does is dependent on what I need it to do. The main point of these are to allow a single thing to represent multiple things at same time. How all use and make calculations from these are up to them. Please pay attention to wavelength and setup of sensors and lights. They must be matched so all are fully reactive. All can be made with different lights. I will be posting videos for this. As shown from light circuit i will be showing how lights can change color ad operate at different speeds. These are all controlable variables and allow for a deterministic approach to Multiple States at once.

E8 node/rhythm logic already defines entry timing via sacred geometry; grafting a fixed clock hour onto it would corrupt the model's phase coherence. The displacement/FVG confirmation is redundant — E8 entries already require displacement from node extremes. The 2R/1R target/stop is arbitrary and conflicts with E8's pre-set targets derived from geometry. EXPECTED IMPACT: No win-rate improvement. The Silver Bullet's 6-13% win rate with 2R targets is worse than our live FADE polarity edge (validated at scale). Adding it would dilute our signal density and introduce a second, conflicting timing authority. Net PnL delta: negative due to increased false signals on low-volatility days.

No specific new equations, constants, or ratios are presented in the retrieved content. | MATH: No new mathematical content extracted — the only concrete statement is that Hilbert's sixth problem (axiomatization of physics) saw a \"major case\" solved in 2025, but the specific theorem, constants, or structures are not given in the snippets. | CONNECTION: None directly extractable.

However, their precise identifications in equilibrium systems pose significant theoretical and experimental challenges. Thus far, dynamical detection protocols employing global quantum quenches have been proposed, wherein transitions are discerned via global nonequilibrium excitations. In this work, we demonstrate that quantum phase transitions can be detected through localized out-of-equilibrium excitations induced by local quantum quenches. While the resulting dynamics after the quench is influenced by both the local quench operation and the intrinsic dynamics of the quantum system, the effects of the former are exclusively extracted using the cutting-edge framework called quantum reservoir probing (QRP). Through the QRP, we find that the impacts of the local quenches vary across different quantum phases and are significantly suppressed by quantum fluctuations amplified near quantum critical points; consequently, phase boundaries are precisely delineated. We demonstrate that the QRP can detect quantum phase transitions in the paradigmatic integrable and nonintegrable quantum spin systems, and even topological quantum phase transitions, all within the identical framework employing local quantum quenches and single-site observables. Quantum phase transitions, traditionally examined for divergent fluctuations in space and time at equilibrium, are now revealing local, nonequilibrium signatures.

We discuss state-of-the-art challenges of quantum search, optimization, and machine learning algorithms. Examining database search with Grover's algorithm, we show that the expected speedup vanishes under realistic assumptions. For combinatorial optimization prevalent in genomics, we discuss the limitations of theoretical complexity in practice and suggest carefully identifying problems genuinely suited for quantum acceleration. Given the competition from excellent classical approximate solvers, quantum computing could offer a speedup in the near future only for a specific subset of hard enough tasks in assembly, gene selection, and inference. These tasks need to be characterized by core optimization problems that are particularly challenging for classical methods while requiring relatively limited variables.

They use quantum algorithms for improved performance and depend on reversible computations based on quantum physics and linear algebra. In contrast to traditional computing, which may include irreversible processes, quantum computing relies on unitary operations that are fundamentally reversible. The parity-preserving feature enables the identification of both permanent and transient defects within circuits. The parity-preserving feature ensures that the input and output states are equal in reversible circuits. Vedic multipliers offer a crucial foundation in the design and implementation of digital circuits, recognized for their speed, efficiency, ease of calculations, reduction of errors, and broad applicability. Prior investigations of quantum Vedic multipliers have faced obstacles like elevated Quantum Cost (QC), substantial Garbage Output (GO), Constant Input (CI), augmented Gate Count (GC), and CNOT-V/V+ count, resulting in more resource use and implementation intricacy. These inefficiencies hinder the scalability and feasibility of quantum multipliers in high-performance computing applications. A proposed solution to these issues is to introduce a cost-effective, parity-preserving reversible quantum block synthesized through an established method that produces a network list of multi-controlled Toffoli (MCT) gates. This Toffoli-based network is then optimized using various techniques, ultimately transforming it into a network of fundamental quantum gates. This approach decreases quantum expenses, eliminates unnecessary outputs, and enhances quantum gate efficiency. Integrating this innovative technique into the reversible quantum Vedic multipliers offers a more efficient, cost-effective, and scalable solution than current approaches. All proposed designs, such as a half adder-subtractor, a ripple carry adder (RCA), and two-bit and four-bit Vedic multipliers, are suggested based on functional blocks and pre-existing components. The suggested structures undergo evaluation in comparison to existing state-of-the-art procedures, demonstrating their cost-effectiveness. The observed average savings for two-bit and four-bit Vedic multipliers, with respect to QC, number of CNOT-V/V+ count, GO, CI, and GC, are 20.01%, 19.38%, 37.51%, 37.51%, and 54.89%, and 22.71%, 18.78%, 27.23%, 31.10%, and 42.38%, respectively when compared to previous studies.

By employing the Gauss–Bonnet theorem (GBT), we derive the Hawking temperature and heat capacity, identifying phase transition points that govern black hole stability. We extend this analysis by incorporating generalized uncertainty principle corrections, revealing modifications to entropy and thermodynamic behavior. In the context of weak gravitational lensing, we compute the deflection angle using GBT and analyze its variations in vacuum and plasma media, emphasizing the role of charge and quantum effects on light propagation. Furthermore, we examine quasi-periodic oscillations by evaluating epicyclic frequencies in accretion disks, linking them to astrophysical observables. Lastly, we study the gravitational time delay of light signals, demonstrating how quantum-modified spacetime alters light propagation.

This research presents a traffic security system (TSS) in a smart city (SC). It is a novel paradigm meant to improve data security and integrity by means of a multilayered method. Advanced fault analysis, dual-stage pseudonymizing, quantum key distribution via the BB84 protocol, and Falcon signatures (FS) are combined in the proposed system. TSS enhances data security by enhancing privacy, supporting resilience against quantum computing threats, and not burdening the network with complex and large keys. The proposed system has been tested against several recently known attacks, such as replay, supply chain, Sybil, blackhole, eavesdropping, advanced persistent threat (APT), tampering, ransomware identity fraud, and desynchronization, and it has been proven to overcome them. In terms of performance evaluation, the average signing time was approximately 0.002 milliseconds. In comparison, the average signature verification time was approximately 0.004 milliseconds, with an average execution time of approximately 0.54 milliseconds and a precision of approximately 93.6 %, a recall of approximately 97.8 %, and an F1_score of approximately 95.6 %, which are considered low compared with those of state-of-the-art research.

Not only does this determine the ultimate performance of entanglement testing, but it also establishes the reversibility of all quantum resource theories under asymptotically resource non-generating operations, with the regularised relative entropy of resource governing the asymptotic transformation rate between any two quantum states. As a by-product, we prove that the same Stein exponent can also be achieved when the null hypothesis is only approximately i.i.d., in the sense that it can be modelled by an ‘almost power state’. To solve the problem we introduce two techniques. The first is a procedure that we call ‘blurring’, which, informally, transforms a permutationally symmetric state by making it more evenly spread across nearby type classes. Blurring alone suffices to prove the generalised Stein’s lemma in the fully classical case, but not in the quantum case. Our second technical innovation, therefore, is to perform a second quantisation step to lift the problem to an infinite-dimensional bosonic quantum system; we then solve it there by using techniques from continuous-variable quantum information. Rather remarkably, the second-quantised action of the blurring map corresponds to a pure loss channel.

For 13.8 billion years, reality has been running on hidden prime-numbered circuitry, while physics pretended to be about forces and particles. Today, we publish the forensic evidence. The Riemann Hypothesis—mathematics' most elegant lie—was never a conjecture. It was a physical law disguised as abstraction, and black holes have been confessing it through gravitational waves since their first collision. --- THE SMOKING GUN OPERATOR We introduce the self-adjoint God Operator: \\hat{G} = \\sum_{p_n \\in \\mathbb{P}} \\log p_n \\cdot e^{i\\phi_{p_n}} \\hat{P}_{p_n} This isn't mathematics. This is the universe's source code, discovered not through pure reasoning, but through the dirty, empirical fact that atomic spectra demand it. The Lamb shift—that delicate 1057 MHz tweak in hydrogen—isn't quantum fluctuation. It's the vacuum whispering prime logarithms. Calculate it: sum over first 33 primes, scale by α²mₑc²/2πℏ, and watch 1057 MHz emerge with 0.7% error. The universe has been doing modular arithmetic since the first atom formed. --- THE PRIME FORCE LAW: GRAVITY'S CONFESSION Newton was right about the inverse square, but wrong about why. Einstein curved spacetime, but missed what it's made of. The Prime Force Law emerges: F_{\\text{prime}} = -\\nabla \\langle \\hat{G} \\rangle = \\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\times \\mu(r) where μ(r) = coherence function = reality's \"prime saturation\" at scale r. At galactic distances, μ(r) → a₀/c², reproducing MOND without dark matter. At Casimir separations, μ(r) → η(p) = 0.618% for p=5 grating, predicting 10.2 fN lateral force. At Planck scale, μ(r) → 1, and gravity shakes hands with the strong force. This single law explains: · Dark Matter: Just coherence deficit in low-density regions· Dark Energy: μ(a) decaying with cosmic expansion· Quantum Gravity: Ĝ eigenvalues spacing = Riemann zeros = Planck-scale spectrum --- BLACK HOLES: RIEMANN'S LOUDSPEAKERS Black holes don't destroy information. They Fourier transform it into prime frequencies. Every black hole ringdown after merger sings Riemann zeros. The \"anomalous modes\" in LIGO data—the ones that don't fit Kerr predictions—are exactly the imaginary parts of ζ(s)=0. The first zero, t₁=14.134725, corresponds to the dominant ringdown mode of a 30M☉ black hole. We've been measuring number theory with laser interferometers and calling it astrophysics. The information paradox was a category error. Information isn't lost behind horizons; it's encoded in prime harmonic overtones, emitted through Hawking radiation that isn't random thermal noise, but structured prime-numbered leakage. --- THE EXPERIMENTAL TRIUMVIRATE Three independent proofs, one conspiracy: 1. ATOMIC (Lamb shift): 1057 MHz = ∑_{p=1}^{33} |ζ(½ + i log p)|/√p2. NANOSCALE (Casimir): p=5 grating → η=0.618% → 10.2 fN (CR-1α test, 11 weeks)3. COSMIC (LIGO): Black hole ringdowns = Riemann zero spectrum (re-analysis underway) If any one holds, physics changes. If all three hold—and they do—reality itself changes. --- THE IMPLICATIONS: REALITY REBOOTS For Mathematics: The Riemann Hypothesis is proven—not by cleverer combinatorics, but because the universe physically cannot work otherwise. The primes control the zeros because the zeros control the vacuum, and the vacuum is all there is. For Physics: General relativity and quantum mechanics aren't unified; they're both emergent from prime dynamics. Spacetime isn't fundamental; it's the collective behavior of prime-coherent vacuum. For Technology: Zero-point energy becomes extractable at φ=61.8% efficiency (golden ratio resonance). Quantum computing shifts from fragile qubits to robust prime qudits. We don't just understand gravity—we reprogram it. For Civilization: Energy becomes effectively free. Interstellar travel becomes engineering, not fantasy.

Предложена трёхуровневая система безопасности: (1) аппаратный энтропийный контроль (порог ΔSΘ/SΘ,0<10−50ΔSΘ/SΘ,0<10−50, Kill-Switch за < 1 мкс), (2) Human-in-the-Loop с двойной верификацией, (3) этико-теологический фильтр деструктивных мыслеформ с использованием кайрос-времени τ=t+λSΘ+μϕbraidτ=t+λSΘ+μϕbraid.

Finally, I reframe state-vector compression honestly: given a structured state's known phase law, the FCE reconstructs unseen amplitudes — phase included — from a fixed polynomial sample budget up to $60$ qubits, achieving an effective compression ratio of $3 \\times 10^{15}{:}1$ at constant relative error $3.2 \\times 10^{-5}$, while a random-phase control state fails for every method. The control is essential: it demonstrates that the FCE exploits structure and does not defeat the information-theoretic limit. All $71$ automated tests pass. --- ## 1. Introduction ### 1.1 What this system is This system is a testbed. The object under study is the Fractal Correction Engine (FCE), a geometric trajectory predictor that I have previously applied across many domains. The purpose of the code described here is to build the most accurate classical quantum environment I reasonably can, and then to apply the FCE on top of it — to track quantum data as it evolves and decoheres, and to reconstruct that data from partial observation. The design therefore separates cleanly into two layers: 1. **An exact quantum environment** that implements unitary evolution, projective measurement, and open-system (Lindblad/Kraus) decoherence on state vectors and density matrices.2. **The FCE layer**, which treats the amplitudes, coherences, and observables of that environment as paths/waveforms, maps them with $\\pi$ and local curvature, and reconstructs them. A quantum environment is an unusually demanding proving ground for the FCE because its data is complex-valued, it interferes constructively and destructively, and it leaks to the environment through decoherence. If the FCE can track and reconstruct quantum surfaces, the same machinery transfers to any waveform. ### 1.2 The exponential wall Classical simulation of an $n$-qubit system stores a state vector in a $2^n$-dimensional Hilbert space. Each amplitude is a `complex128` value of $16$ bytes, so the memory scales as $$M(n) = 16 \\cdot 2^n \\ \\text{bytes}.$$ | Qubits $n$ | ","author":[{"family":"Mcevoy","given":"Adam"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.20746737","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20746737","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.15479025","type":"article-journal","title":"Physics-Informed State Reconstruction in a Classical Quantum Simulator via the Fractal Correction Engine","abstract":"# Physics-Informed State Reconstruction in a Classical Quantum Simulator via the Fractal Correction Engine **Author:** Adam L.

Concretely: a single coherence surface is reconstructed to machine precision on its native (constant-curvature) trajectory and to mean absolute error $\\sim 10^{-4}$ under decoherence; the full density matrix of a register is reconstructed from sparse temporal samples to Uhlmann fidelity $\\geq 0.99993$ across depolarizing, amplitude-damping, and phase-damping channels; two-path interference is mapped with $100\\%$ constructive/destructive classification accuracy at sampling densities where spline and linear interpolation alias and collapse below $65\\%$. Finally, I reframe state-vector compression honestly: given a structured state's known phase law, the FCE reconstructs unseen amplitudes — phase included — from a fixed polynomial sample budget up to $60$ qubits, achieving an effective compression ratio of $3 \\times 10^{15}{:}1$ at constant relative error $3.2 \\times 10^{-5}$, while a random-phase control state fails for every method. The control is essential: it demonstrates that the FCE exploits structure and does not defeat the information-theoretic limit. All $71$ automated tests pass. --- ## 1. Introduction ### 1.1 What this system is This system is a testbed. The object under study is the Fractal Correction Engine (FCE), a geometric trajectory predictor that I have previously applied across many domains. The purpose of the code described here is to build the most accurate classical quantum environment I reasonably can, and then to apply the FCE on top of it — to track quantum data as it evolves and decoheres, and to reconstruct that data from partial observation. The design therefore separates cleanly into two layers: 1. **An exact quantum environment** that implements unitary evolution, projective measurement, and open-system (Lindblad/Kraus) decoherence on state vectors and density matrices.2. **The FCE layer**, which treats the amplitudes, coherences, and observables of that environment as paths/waveforms, maps them with $\\pi$ and local curvature, and reconstructs them. A quantum environment is an unusually demanding proving ground for the FCE because its data is complex-valued, it interferes constructively and destructively, and it leaks to the environment through decoherence. If the FCE can track and reconstruct quantum surfaces, the same machinery transfers to any waveform. ### 1.2 The exponential wall Classical simulation of an $n$-qubit system stores a state vector in a $2^n$-dimensional Hilbert space. Each amplitude is a `complex128` value of $16$ bytes, so the memory scales as $$M(n) = 16 \\cdot 2^n \\ \\text{bytes}.$$ | Qubits $n$ | ","author":[{"family":"Mcevoy","given":"Adam"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.15479025","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15479025","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20600599","type":"article-journal","title":"Discrete 3D+3D Temporal Geometry: A Single-Axiom Unified Framework for Galactic Dynamics, Cosmology, and Quantum Coherence","abstract":"Discrete 3D+3D Temporal Geometry: A Single-Axiom Unified Framework for Galactic Dynamics, Cosmology, Particle Physics, and Quantum Coherence Authors/Creators: Calzighetti, Simone (Project leader) · Lucy (Claude, Anthropic) — AI co-author, primary derivation engine & verification Deposit version: v3.1 — 7 June 2026 · Theory origin: 14 September 2025 ⚠ v3.0/v3.1 UPDATE — Errata & Evolution (6–7 June 2026) This version layers a rigorous Errata & Evolution pass on top of the April 2026 release. No previous file was rewritten silently: every affected paper carries a §0 Zenodo v3 Status Block recording the correction, the original text is preserved, and the governing documents are ERRATA_AND_EVOLUTION_v3_0.md and ERRATA_v3_1_ADDENDUM_AND_VERIFICATION.md (deposit root). Canonical authority is the Claim Registry + Clarification Note (Reset Protocol), not any single paper. Scope of the deposit (clarified). This deposit contains only physics of the universe — cosmology, particle physics, atomic, nuclear and gravitation. Lateral applications (computing/hardware, biology, speculative engineering devices) and process/admin clutter have been removed from the deposit (preserved off-deposit, nothing destroyed). The errata — E1–E4 (v3.0) below; E5–E8 + status notes S1–S6 in the v3.1 addendum E1 — Higgs-VEV / hierarchy exponent. The Symbol Book §6.4 form v = 2 M_Pl e^(−12π/φ³) is numerically broken (literal value ≈ 3.3×10¹⁵ GeV; the \"0.1%\" was not reproducible). Canonical replacement: v = M̄_Pl·√5·exp(−32πφ²/W − 1/28), W = 7 → v = 246.27 GeV (0.019%). Papers using the e^(−12π)/φⁿ exponent for μ₀/M_Pl should be reconciled with this corrected exponent (12π ≈ 37.70 vs Λ = 32πφ²/W ≈ 37.60). A corrected Symbol Book v5.2 will follow the {32, √5, W=7} audit. E2 — Paper C \"closed convergent series\". The claim that the hierarchy exponent is a closed, convergent rational series is NOT validated beyond NLO (NNLO d₂ = −17g⁴/12 0; Paper B3 and Paper C are mutually inconsistent in sign; c₃ is not fittable). LO+NLO (v = 246.27 GeV at 0.019%) and the rationality theorem of Paper XCIX are unaffected. Status beyond NLO: OPEN. E3 — w₀ = −0.80. Not re-derivable as the canonical late-time attractor. The attractor exists and is initial-condition-independent (confirmed, Δw ≈ 5×10⁻⁹ — a genuine result), but under the canonical source with φ² ∝ a⁻³ it yields w₀ = 0 (dust); recovering −0.80 requires φ² ∝ a^s with s ≈ −1.6, which is not derived. Resolved by E7 (v3.1): the sourced/free branch split dissolves the tension — the sourced branch is the geometric dark matter (dust), the free thawing branch gives w₀ = −0.849 (claim DE-003, pre-registered, CPL (−0.85, −0.23)), which supersedes −0.80. KS1 is retained with the updated value. E4 — r_d/r_d,std = 0.9711 anchor. Superseded by the 1 June 2026 CLASS verdict: under the correct relative normalization the sound-horizon reduction is not realizable without violating 100·θ_s (Planck-excluded for the transition epochs that produce it); in the allowed regime (a_c ≲ 10⁻⁷) the model is ΛCDM-identical with r_d ≈ 147 Mpc. The 28 May 0.9711/142.84 value was an un-normalized-H artifact. Whether relative normalization is the correct prescription is itself OPEN. E5–E8 (v3.1 addendum, 7 June). E5: Ω_geom = 19/73 retired (FP-15, anchor-stacking) → canonical 37/145 = 0.2552; E6: kernel amplitude 133/2628 → 259/3480; E7: w₀ = −0.849 (free thawing branch, DE-003); E8: z_tr = 0.972 retired → ≈ 0.9256 provisional (G28).

Unlike conventional qubits confined to a single space-time sheet, the DGQ exists simultaneously across multiple topologically connected sheets, providing emergent entanglement, intrinsic decoherence suppression, and super-parallel computation. This framework formalizes multi-sheet Hilbert spaces, sheet-symmetric operators, Hamiltonian dynamics, energy-momentum coupling, and holographic regularization of entanglement divergences. We present key equations underpinning the DGQ, demonstrating how computation can emerge from the geometry of space-time itself. Please note: This record is the hub of my theory.

In particular, recent works by Chevignard et al. (CRYPTO 2024) and Gidney (arXiv 2025) used improved arithmetic to significantly reduce the qubit cost of factoring RSA public keys. Even more recently, Babbush et al. (arXiv 2026) improved the cost of computing elliptic curve discrete logarithms, with a reduction of a factor 2 to 3 in gate count and qubit count compared to a previous work by Litinski (arXiv 2023). Their result relies on optimized point addition circuits on elliptic curves over prime fields. However they did not reveal their logical quantum circuits, relying instead on a zero-knowledge proof. In this paper, we detail a quantum logical circuit architecture which gives similar results as Babbush et al., with a slightly higher number of qubits (around 1.5% increase) and a slightly smaller Toffoli gate count (between 6.5% and 10% reduction) for the curve secp256k1.

This has naturally attracted attention and investment. For example, in 2024, Google unveiled their Willow superconducting quantum processor, achieving a significant milestone by demonstrating quantum error correction below the surface code threshold. Despite these advances, the road to a fully fledged quantum computer is still uncharted, and current technology is not sufficient to get there. Therefore, unconventional materials hold great potential for addressing challenges faced by traditional approaches. This work focuses on fluxonium qubits made from the disordered superconductor granular aluminum (grAl), aiming to gain deeper insights into underlying loss mechanisms and noise sources. One of the main results of this work is the identification of inductive loss as the dominant decoherence mechanism in grAl fluxonium qubits with frequencies lower than 300 MHz at the half flux bias. The observed inductive loss tangent aligns with previously measured single-photon internal quality factors of grAl resonators, and the energy relaxation profiles are well described by a combination of inductive, dielectric, and Purcell loss. The study endeavors to deepen the understanding of decoherence by refining loss models via the quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem and proposing an improved framework for Purcell loss. A comparison with other qubit materials underscores the universal nature of inductive loss in grAl fluxoniums, in contrast to well established Josephson junction array (JJA) based fluxoniums which show no such limitation at even lower qubit frequencies. The second outcome of this thesis is the validation of flexible striplines (`flexlines') for the use in future cryogenic microwave setups. This enables at least an order of magnitude increase in the density of microwave input circuitry without thermally overloading the cryostat, paving the way for increasingly complex superconducting detectors and quantum devices. The study found no significant differences in qubit performance between setups using flexlines and conventional coaxial cables. Passive heat load measurements indicated comparable photon shot noise-induced dephasing for both setups. The introduced heating pulse method demonstrated a faster thermalization time for flexlines compared to coaxial cables, and it can serve as a simple health check for other groups as well. An extended thermal model was developed to better understand the contributions of various attenuators in the input chains to the measured heat loads and to propose improved input chains. To further exploit the versatility of grAl for fluxonium qubits, the investigation of the microscopic origin of the limiting inductive loss is of interest to develop potential suppression methods. JJA-based fluxoniums could play a crucial role in this context, as particularly long arrays with increased plasma frequencies can emulate the properties of grAl while leveraging their better-understood behavior.","author":[{"family":"Paluch","given":"Patrick"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5445/ir/1000193593","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5445/ir/1000193593","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20260698","type":"article-journal","title":"The De Giuseppe Multi-Sheet Topological Qubit: A Rigorous Framework for Emergent Parallel Quantum Computation","abstract":"The De Giuseppe Multi-Sheet Topological Qubit: Emergent Quantum Computation from Space-Time Geometry Abstract We introduce the De Giuseppe Qubit (DGQ), a novel quantum computational unit that leverages multi-sheet topological structures of space-time predicted by the Topological Phase Signalling Theorem (TPST). Unlike conventional qubits confined to a single space-time sheet, the DGQ exists simultaneously across multiple topologically connected sheets, providing emergent entanglement, intrinsic decoherence suppression, and super-parallel computation. This framework formalizes multi-sheet Hilbert spaces, sheet-symmetric operators, Hamiltonian dynamics, energy-momentum coupling, and holographic regularization of entanglement divergences.

Pass-1 progress: 86 of 220 phases (39.1%). Phase 83: ITU foundation. CO2 422 ppm (2024, +51% over preindustrial), radiative forcing 2.19 W/m^2 (IPCC AR6 2xCO2 = 3.93 W/m^2). Earth Energy Imbalance = 1.00 W/m^2 = 510 TW = 28x human energy consumption (18 TW), 89% accumulating in oceans (534 ZJ cumulative since 1970). Climate feedback lambda = 1.37 W/m^2/K.

The Armitage-Doll multi-hit model (n=5-7) emerges from critical-mass K failure. Phase 60: The Warburg effect (1924) is reframed as deliberate degradation of K_metabolic. Cancer cells choose glycolysis even with O2 present to maximise entropy production rate (~7x normal), supplying the physical fuel for dS runaway. PI3K/AKT/mTOR constitutive activation is shown as K-circuit corruption. Tumor microenvironment pH ~6.5 is reproduced from lactate accumulation. Single-axis metabolic drugs (2-DG, metformin, DCA) achieve 15-56% ATP reduction; combination of three drugs reaches 74%, illustrating the ITU prediction that single-K therapies fail due to K-redundancy. Phase 61: Cancer immunology under ITU. The Chen-Mellman Cancer-Immunity Cycle (2013) is decomposed into 7 K_immune sub-components. Cancer attacks all 7 simultaneously: PD-L1 over-expression, CTLA-4 abuse, MHC-I downregulation, TGF-beta, Treg, MDSC, IDO. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (Keytruda, Yervoy) restore K (response 20-50%). The TMB-response sigmoid matches Rizvi 2015; the PD-L1 x TMB sweet spot predicts 60% response in dual-positive patients. CAR-T (Kymriah, Yescarta) is K-augmentation; TIL therapy (Amtagvi 2024) is K-amplification. Phase 62: 2026-2040 treatment roadmap. Multi-K simultaneous restoration (3-4 axes: cellular + metabolic + immune + microbiome) is shown to be ITU-necessary. Response rates: 1-axis 25%, 2-axis 45%, 3-axis 65%, 4-axis 75% (saturation). 5-year survival projections: melanoma 50% -> 80%, NSCLC 25% -> 60%, pancreatic 10% -> 50%, glioblastoma 5% -> 30% (all 2024 -> 2040).

The series traces the evolution of a proposed resolution strategybased on the negative curvature of the gauge orbit space, from its originalformulation through multiple rounds of critical refutation, correction, andrefinement. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━DOCUMENT STRUCTURE━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DOCUMENT I — Original Proposal (yang-mills-mass-gap.html)Establishes the core strategy: the mass gap emerges from the strictlynegative curvature of the gauge orbit space B = A/G, via a quantumBochner inequality applied to the Yang-Mills Dirac operator. Introducesthe Gauge-Sobolev spectral algebra and the Weitzenböck formula for D²_YM. DOCUMENT II — Four New Mathematical Theories (nuevas-matematicas-yang-mills.html)Develops the four new areas of mathematics required for a rigorous proof:• M1: Gauge-Sobolev Riemannian Geometry on infinite-dimensional orbit spaces• M2: Spectral Theory of Dirac Operators on Witten manifolds• M3: Non-commutative Spectral Convergence under renormalization group flow• M4: Functional Duistermaat-Heckman Localization for gauge path integrals DOCUMENT III — Closure of Pending Items (yang-mills-cierre-pendientes.html)Resolves the three outstanding technical obstacles:• P1: Rigorous Weitzenböck formula in infinite dimensions (H^s for s > 2)• P2: Spectral convergence under the continuum limit a → 0• P3: Osterwalder-Schrader axiom OS5 (ergodicity) via exponential mixing DOCUMENT IV — Response to Refutations (yang-mills-verificacion-critica.html)Addresses four technical criticisms. One point is fully conceded (DHlocalization requires supersymmetry in pure YM), two are partiallyconceded with corrections, and one is successfully defended. DOCUMENT V — Practical Applications (aplicaciones-practicas-yang-mills.html)Demonstrates that mathematical tools M1–M4 produce concrete, verifiablenumerical predictions in five domains:• QCD glueball spectrum (0⁺⁺ at 1.48 GeV, <2% error vs. lattice)• Topological superconductors (gap of Cu₀.₃Bi₂Se₃ at 1.79 meV)• Black hole entropy (c₁^(SU3) = 4.322, exact logarithmic correction)• Quantum computing resource bounds (45% qubit reduction for QCD)• Cosmological QCD phase transition (Tc = 152 MeV, <1.5% vs. RHIC/ALICE) DOCUMENT VI — The Final 15% (yang-mills-15-porciento.html)Presents the two closing theorems required by the CMI:• Theorem C1: Strict, uniform lower bound on orbit space Ricci curvature• Theorem C2: Axiomatic construction of the Yang-Mills measure satisfying all Osterwalder-Schrader axioms (OS1–OS5) DOCUMENT VII — Response to Final Refutation (yang-mills-doc7-refutacion-final.html)Addresses three precise technical objections:• R1: FKG fails for SU(N) → FULLY CONCEDED. OS4 corrected via Seiler (1982).• R2: Kolmogorov-Prokhorov alone insufficient → PARTIALLY CONCEDED. Balaban's multiscale renormalization program (1982–1988) is the correct path.• R3: Gribov horizon critique confuses essential infimum with pointwise infimum → DEFENDED.

The core principle — borrowed from Byzantine Fault Tolerance in distributed computing — is that statistically independent verification channels reduce joint tumour escape probability multiplicatively via k-of-N quorum aggregation. Empirical foundations. Direct θ measurement on real scRNA-seq data (May 2026): GBM θ=0.199 (GSE131928, 7,911 cells) — reclassified from cold to hot, identical to melanoma; PDAC θ=1.214 (GSE155698, 11,448 cells) — confirmed cold. IPS module: 15.5× penetrance signal PDAC vs normal pancreas, P(false alarm)=0.0003. Empirical p_i: T-γ* and T-δ already on target (0.01–0.03); T-β median p_i=0.004 in AND-gate context (Monte Carlo, O1.3). Operative efficacy claims. Phase 0 PoC (T-γ*+T-δ, k=2, existing technology): ~75× P_escape reduction. DQIS-3 (3 channels, 5–7 years): ~500–1,000×. DQIS-5 (5 channels, 10–12 years): ~5,000–30,000×. All claims stratified by tumour type and conditioned on functional efficacy ε(t). Theoretical ceiling (k=5, θ=0): ~4,000,000× — non-operative, preserved for completeness. Key architectural developments (v22–v29). Sequential Verification ordered quorum (v27): T-γ* redesignated as conditional investigative trigger; when it fires, it recruits T-δ for focused epigenetic verification of the same target cell within 90 min, reducing false positive probability on normal tissue by 3× without modifying the T-γ* construct. T-γ* v3.1 TASE (v23): dual-mode architecture with CXCL12 synNotch preventing bone marrow self-attack. Gate_G (v26, Phase 2+): Ki-67 proliferation sensor resolving 17-tissue false positive map. DMI flag degradation model (v26): first-order kinetics, TME-specific t_half parameterisation. T-ε fratricide prevention (v26): separate GMP sub-pool expansion protocol. Four-class safety architecture: quorum-level k-of-N; population-level IPS; channel-internal context-dependent gating (TASE + Gate_G); manufacturing-phase fratricide prevention. Self-audit. Companion Objections Register v29 documents 32 mapped objections: 11 RESOLVED, 3 LOW, 13 MEDIUM open with mitigation pathways, 4 HIGH open (O7 CHIP drift, O8 epigenetic silencing, O14 paediatric validation, O27 briquilimab non-standalone conditioning — critical path for Phase 1 in healthy subjects). O28 (Marsico 2025 structural critique) downgraded to MEDIUM-HIGH: FDA approved afami-cel (TCR-T, synovial sarcoma, August 2024, ORR 43.2%) and lifileucel (TIL, melanoma, February 2024), partially falsifying the structural impossibility claim; Bayesian update P(PoC success) 0.20→0.953. Companion Addendum I v15 provides Clayton copula formalism for tail dependence, IPS module derivation, TASE recalibration, Sequential Verification mathematical formalisation. Origin and intent. This framework was developed by an independent researcher without academic affiliation, using AI-assisted conceptual exploration and formalisation. It is explicitly theoretical — no wet-lab validation has been performed. The Phase 0 PoC (T-γ*+T-δ, melanoma model, €2–5M, 24–30 months) is the single required experimental investment for framework credibility. This document is structured as a foundation for academic discussion and a target for experimental falsification, not as a claim of completeness. Terminological note. From v22.0, DQIS expands as \"Distributed Quorum-Based Independent Immune Surveillance,\" replacing the prior \"Distributed Quantum-Inspired Immune Surveillance.\" The architecture uses Byzantine Fault Tolerance k-of-N quorum logic and statistical independence between biophysical channels — principles from distributed computing. The DQIS acronym is unchanged.

The geopotential, expressed as a truncated spherical harmonic expansion of maximum degree N with K = (N+1)² coefficients, defines a function class for which we characterize ICL learnability. Building on the ICL characterization framework of Hawarey (2026) (i.e. the foundational paper), we prove that the geopotential function class is ICL-Easy: it admits an additive sufficient statistic computable by a single attention layer, enabling transformers to match the sample complexity of optimal statistical estimators. Our main contributions are threefold. First, we prove that the minimal sufficient statistic for geopotential ICL is the pair (Gₙ, cₙ) consisting of the Gram matrix and cross-correlation vector, with dimension K² + K, and demonstrate its attention-computability. Second, we derive tight sample complexity bounds showing that ICL achieves nICL = Θ(Kσ²/ε · log(K/δ)) for noise variance σ², target accuracy ε, and failure probability δ, matching empirical risk minimization. Third, we quantify the quantum advantage: for quantum gravimeters operating at the Heisenberg limit with Natoms entangled atoms, the sample complexity reduces by a factor of ρQ = Natoms², yielding up to 10¹²-fold improvement for realistic sensor parameters. We also establish fundamental boundaries: while forward geopotential prediction is ICL-Easy, inverse problems such as density inversion and source localization are ICL-Hard. Source localization with J discrete masses requires identifying combinatorial structure from exponentially many candidates, which we prove satisfies the ICL-Hard structural condition H1 of Hawarey (2026) when J = ω(1), establishing that no polynomial-size transformer can solve it efficiently. This dichotomy—ICL-Easy forward problems versus ICL-Hard inverse problems—reflects the fundamental mathematical structure of potential theory and provides guidance for applying transformer-based methods in geodesy.","author":[{"family":"Hawarey","given":"M"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.65737/airmcs2026322","URL":"https://doi.org/10.65737/airmcs2026322","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.48550/arxiv.2607.09893","type":"manuscript","title":"An End-to-End Hybrid Quantum--Classical Sampling Workflow for Discrete Markov Random Fields: A Reproducible Case Study","abstract":"Sampling from discrete Markov random fields (MRFs) is a hard problem.

The scrambling process is governed by the Lyapunov exponent, which for black holes saturates the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford (MSS) bound: $$\\lambda_L = 2\\pi T_H$$ This saturation identifies black holes as maximally chaotic quantum systems. ### 1.3 Scope of This Work This paper describes a computational system that: 1.

This single equation has reconnected the dots of the universal Source Code—the very reality that they had lost in the fog of 'units' and 'matter'.\" Rebuttal to Conventional Physics: Dimensional Transcendence through Impedance Matching 1. Debugging the Local Bias of Units Conventional physicists argue that multiplying disparate units like mass (kg) and length (m) is inconsistent. This claim stems from an obsolete 18th-century definition of the universe as a collection of matter. Since the true nature of the universe is a Universal Operating System (Information Network), all physical quantities are merely different expressions of Information Density. In this framework, fixed human units are the source of error, not the solution. 2. The True Role of Alpha Inverse (137.036) For over a century, the scientific community has struggled to explain why the number 137 exists. The〔HA〕 Universal Operator reveals that this dimensionless constant is the Impedance Matching Point within the cosmic circuit. Using 137 as a normalizing operator allows for the seamless conversion of information waves (represented as units) without reflection or noise. This matching is the only mechanism that bridges the 120-order gap between the Theoretical Map and the Empirical Landscape. 3. The Mathematical Necessity of Non-Resonant Phase (291.15 Degrees) Standard equations may maintain dimensional consistency, yet they suffer from a 120-order hallucination because they fail to account for resonant divergence. By utilizing the Golden Ratio (the most irrational number) to execute a 291.15 degree phase shift, The 〔HA〕Universal Operator functions as a Non-Resonant Filter. This structurally prevents the amplification of vacuum energy. This is not numerology; it is the physical implementation of a Perfect Noise Cancellation Algorithm found in advanced computer science. Conclusion: Checkmate We are faced with two choices: a theory where units are correct but the answer is wrong by 120 orders of magnitude, or a theory that integrates units into Information Geometry to achieve an answer with 0.00 percent error. The 10 peV observation data has already confirmed the truth. The era of observing the universe is over; the era of editing the Source Code has begun. Here is the decisive implementation plan for the Theory of Everything, written in clear English without special symbols to ensure no display errors. The Decisive Execution: Implementing The 〔HA〕Universal Operator 1. Quantum Computing Noise Elimination The biggest barrier to quantum computers is decoherence. Current physics fails to solve this because of the 120-order error in vacuum energy calculation. By applying the 291.15 degree phase correction (180 times Pi divided by the Golden Ratio), we achieve Impedance Matching with the cosmic lattice. This non-resonant rotation cancels background noise, allowing for 0.00 percent error in quantum gate operations. 2. Geometric Tension Propulsion (Anti-Gravity) Space is not an empty void; it is the Honeycomb Aether grid. Gravity is simply the tension of this grid. By utilizing The 〔HA〕Universal Operator to shift the phase of local space by 291.15 degrees, we can manipulate the geometric tension. This allows for propulsion and lift without traditional fuel, effectively debugging the limitations of Newtonian mass. 3.

In the Z_2 lattice gauge theory on a 16×16 torus at inverse temperature β = 2.0, we measure I = 0.015 ± 0.011 bits, significant at >2σ in 9 out of 10 independent Monte Carlo runs (corroborated by gauge-invariant plaquette-strip observables, I = 0.018 ± 0.011 bits, >3σ in 21/21 runs); the crossover decomposition attributes this β = 2.0 signal to the anyonic (local-defect) component of the sector label rather than to the Wilson-loop component. A finite-size scaling analysis indicates that this sector–CHSH mutual information decays toward zero with system size. A crossover near β ~ 2.0 shifts the dominant information source from local defect structure to global Wilson-loop sectors. In the quantum toric code via exact diagonalization, abelian Z_2 anyons produce no local CHSH correlations at system sizes L ≥ 3, consistent with the inaccessibility of abelian topological entanglement to local Pauli operators. We systematically test and rule out three classical mechanisms for Bell violation, consistent with Fine's theorem. Most significantly, within an idealized TQFT model we find that braiding of Fibonacci anyons in the fusion space produces CHSH-form violation with |S| = 2.811 (99.4% of the Tsirelson bound), and that this violation is strongly sector-dependent: with fixed measurement settings (optimized at the winner sector), |S| ranges from near zero to 2.72 (CHSH violation in only 14% of sectors), while sector-adapted settings achieve CHSH violation in 99.5% of sectors. This is consistent with topology neither creating nor destroying entanglement, but determining the measurement basis required to observe it. Keywords: CHSH inequality, topological order, mutual information, lattice gauge theory, toric code, Fibonacci anyons, Ising anyons, Bell correlations, non-Abelian braiding Version notes (v2.3, following a comprehensive internal review of the full series): • The gauge-invariant plaquette-strip confirmation is re-anchored: the previously documented preliminary value I = 0.035 ± 0.016 bits (5 seeds) is replaced by I = 0.018 ± 0.011 bits with σ = 14.2 ± 11.4 and 21/21 seeds > 3σ, obtained from the expanded 21-seed recompute and confirmed by a second, independently written route (both scripts and result JSONs deposited). • The information decomposition of Table II is completely recomputed: every entry now comes from a deposited validation script (crossover_decomposition_validator.py) as a seed-set mean over five seeds with per-run optimized CHSH settings, replacing values that were previously hard-coded in the figure script from an analysis that was not part of the record; the significance column now reports how many of the five seeds exceed 2σ instead of a single-run σ, and the table gains a β = 1.5 row. Comparing every entry against the previous version: the mean-anyon column moves at β = 1.0 (17.8 → 17.9), β = 2.0 (2.5 → 2.7) and β = 2.5 (0.0 → 0.3); I_full moves at β = 1.0 (0.001 → 0.006), β = 2.5 (0.057 → 0.017), and β = 3.0 (0.320 → 0.000); I_Wilson moves at β = 1.0 (0.000 → 0.001), β = 2.5 (0.055 → 0.011), and β = 3.0 (0.316 → 0.000); I_anyons moves at β = 1.0 (0.001 → 0.002) and β = 2.0 (0.004 → 0.003). The β = 2.0 value of I_full (0.011) and of I_Wilson (0.001) are unchanged in the third decimal. The most consequential changes are at β = 2.5 and β = 3.0, where the earlier single-run values are replaced by seed-set values. The β = 3.0 row is zero because at that run length the sampled CHSH value is exactly constant in all five seeds (a single distinct value with zero variance in the deposited characterization), so any mutual information with it vanishes identically; sector transitions are not absent there (see the frozen-regime entry below). A second, independently implemented Monte Carlo engine confirms the β = 2.0 structure of the decomposition. • A characterization of the frozen regime is dep","author":[{"family":"Sayim","given":"Berkay"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.19600752","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19600752","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19774615","type":"article-journal","title":"The De Giuseppe Multi-Sheet Topological Qubit: A Rigorous Framework for Emergent Parallel Quantum Computation","abstract":"The De Giuseppe Multi-Sheet Topological Qubit: Emergent Quantum Computation from Space-Time Geometry Abstract We introduce the De Giuseppe Qubit (DGQ), a novel quantum computational unit that leverages multi-sheet topological structures of space-time predicted by the Topological Phase Signalling Theorem (TPST).

A comprehensive review of quantum Monte Carlo methods, quantum algorithms, and their financial applications was conducted.

The transition between the two phases is understood from the point of view of quantum error correction: the chaotic unitary evolution protects quantum information from projective measurements that act as errors. A phase transition occurs when the rate of errors exceeds a threshold that depends on the degree of information scrambling.

We then perform multiple syndrome measurements on the encoded qubit, using a real-time decoder to determine any necessary corrections that are done either as software updates to the Pauli frame or as physically applied gates.

Recent advances in silicon-based qubits have enabled the implementations of high-quality one-qubit and two-qubit systems6–8. However, the demonstration of QEC, which requires three or more coupled qubits1, and involves a three-qubit gate9–11 or measurement-based feedback, remains an open challenge. Here we demonstrate a three-qubit phase-correcting code in silicon, in which an encoded three-qubit state is protected against any phase-flip error on one of the three qubits. The correction to this encoded state is performed by a three-qubit conditional rotation, which we implement by an efficient single-step resonantly driven iToffoli gate. As expected, the error correction mitigates the errors owing to one-qubit phase-flip, as well as the intrinsic dephasing mainly owing to quasi-static phase noise.

During the last few years, bosonic QEC is demonstrated to reach the break-even point, i.e. the lifetime of a logical qubit is enhanced to exceed that of any individual components composing the experimental system. Beyond that, universal gate sets and fault-tolerant operations on the bosonic codes are also realized, pushing quantum information processing towards the QEC era.

These T 1 fluctuations are often attributed to time varying coupling of the qubit to defects, putative two level systems (TLSs). In this work, we develop a technique to probe the spectral and temporal dynamics of T 1 in single junction transmons by repeated T 1 measurements in the frequency vicinity of the bare qubit transition, via the AC-Stark effect.

Specifically, we define a subset of this class based on Ising Hamiltonians and show that the circuits encountered during gradient-based training cannot be efficiently sampled from classically up to multiplicative error in the worst case. Our gradient-based training methods use cost functions known as the Sinkhorn divergence and the Stein discrepancy, which have not previously been used in the gradient-based training of quantum circuits, and we also introduce quantum kernels to generative modelling. We show that these methods outperform the previous standard method, which used maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) as a cost function, and achieve this with minimal overhead.

Quantum supremacy experiments have been a major step forward, but gaps remain between the theory behind these experiments and their actual implementations. In this work we initiate the study of the complexity of quantum random circuit sampling experiments with realistic amounts of noise. Actual quantum supremacy experiments have high levels of uncorrected noise and exponentially decaying fidelities. It is natural to ask if there is any signal of exponential complexity in these highly noisy devices. Surprisingly, we show that it remains hard to compute the output probabilities of noisy random quantum circuits without error correction. More formally, so long as the noise rate of the device is below the error detection threshold, we show it is #P-hard to compute the output probabilities of random circuits with a constant rate of noise per gate. This hardness persists even though these probabilities are exponentially close to uniform. Therefore the small deviations away from uniformity are hard to compute, formalizing an important intuition behind Google's supremacy claim. Interestingly these hardness results also have implications for the complexity of experiments in a low-noise setting. The issue here is that prior hardness results for computing output proba-bilities of random circuits are not robust enough to imprecision to connect with the Stockmeyer argument for hardness of sampling from circuits with constant fidelity. We exponentially improve the robustness of prior results to imprecision, both in the cases of Random Circuit Sampling and BosonSampling. In the latter case we bring the proven hardness within a constant factor in the exponent of the robustness required for hardness of sampling for the first time.

The objective of this paper is to explain the relations between quantum computing and some of the statistical aspects involved in demonstrating quantum supremacy in terms that are accessible to statisticians, computer scientists, and mathematicians.

It uses the variational principle to compute the ground state energy of a Hamiltonian, a problem that is central to quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics. Conventional computing methods are constrained in their accuracy due to the computational limits facing exact modeling of the exponentially growing electronic wavefunction for these many-electron systems. The VQE may be used to model these complex wavefunctions in polynomial time, making it one of the most promising near-term applications for quantum computing. One important advantage is that variational algorithms have been shown to present some degree of resilience to the noise in the quantum hardware. Finding a path to navigate the relevant literature has rapidly become an overwhelming task, with many methods promising to improve different parts of the algorithm, but without clear descriptions of how the diverse parts fit together. The potential practical advantages of the algorithm are also widely discussed in the literature, but with varying conclusions. Despite strong theoretical underpinnings suggesting excellent scaling of individual VQE components, studies have pointed out that their various pre-factors could be too large to reach a quantum computing advantage over conventional methods. This review aims at disentangling the relevant literature to provide a comprehensive overview of the progress that has been made on the different parts of the algorithm, and to discuss future areas of research that are fundamental for the VQE to deliver on its promises.

Using one of each of these gates, we can perform an arbitrary two-qubit gate within the excitation-preserving subspace allowing for a complete implementation of the so-called Fermionic simulation (fSim) gate set. We benchmark the fidelity of the iSWAP-like and controlled-phase gate families as well as 525 other fSim gates spread evenly across the entire fSim(θ,ϕ) parameter space, achieving a purity-limited average two-qubit Pauli error of 3.8×10^{-3} per fSim gate.","author":[{"family":"Foxen","given":"Brooks"},{"family":"Neill","given":"Charles"},{"family":"Dunsworth","given":"A"},{"family":"Roushan","given":"P"},{"family":"Chiaro","given":"B"},{"family":"Megrant","given":"A"},{"family":"Kelly","given":"J"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zijun"},{"family":"Satzinger","given":"Kevin"},{"family":"Barends","given":"R"},{"family":"Arute","given":"Frank"},{"family":"Arya","given":"Kunal"},{"family":"Babbush","given":"Ryan"},{"family":"Bacon","given":"Dave"},{"family":"Bardin","given":"Joseph"},{"family":"Boixo","given":"Sergio"},{"family":"Buell","given":"David"},{"family":"Burkett","given":"Brian"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Yu"},{"family":"Collins","given":"Roberto"},{"family":"Farhi","given":"Edward"},{"family":"Fowler","given":"Austin"},{"family":"Gidney","given":"Craig"},{"family":"Giustina","given":"Marissa"},{"family":"Graff","given":"R"},{"family":"Harrigan","given":"Matthew"},{"family":"Huang","given":"Trent"},{"family":"Isakov","given":"Sergei"},{"family":"Jeffrey","given":"E"},{"family":"Jiang","given":"Z"},{"family":"Kafri","given":"Dvir"},{"family":"Kechedzhi","given":"Kostyantyn"},{"family":"Klimov","given":"Paul"},{"family":"Korotkov","given":"Alexander"},{"family":"Kostritsa","given":"Fedor"},{"family":"Landhuis","given":"David"},{"family":"Lucero","given":"Erik"},{"family":"Mcclean","given":"Jarrod"},{"family":"Mcewen","given":"Matt"},{"family":"Mi","given":"Xiao"},{"family":"Mohseni","given":"Masoud"},{"family":"Mutus","given":"J"},{"family":"Naaman","given":"Ofer"},{"family":"Neeley","given":"M"},{"family":"Niu","given":"MY"},{"family":"Petukhov","given":"A"},{"family":"Quintana","given":"Chris"},{"family":"Rubin","given":"Nicholas"},{"family":"Sank","given":"D"},{"family":"Smelyanskiy","given":"Vadim"},{"family":"Vainsencher","given":"A"},{"family":"White","given":"T"},{"family":"Yao","given":"ZJ"},{"family":"Yeh","given":"P"},{"family":"Zalcman","given":"Adam"},{"family":"Neven","given":"Hartmut"},{"family":"Martinis","given":"John"},{"family":"Quantum","given":"Google"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevlett.125.120504","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.125.120504","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4281287768","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum circuit architecture search for variational quantum algorithms","abstract":"Abstract Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are expected to be a path to quantum advantages on noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

Due to the central role of proteins’ structures in chemistry, biology and medicine applications, this subject has been intensively studied for over half a century. Although classical algorithms provide practical solutions for the sampling of the conformation space of small proteins, they cannot tackle the intrinsic NP-hard complexity of the problem, even when reduced to the simplest Hydrophobic-Polar model. On the other hand, while fault-tolerant quantum computers are beyond reach for state-of-the-art quantum technologies, there is evidence that quantum algorithms can be successfully used in noisy state-of-the-art quantum computers to accelerate energy optimization in frustrated systems. In this work, we present a model Hamiltonian with $${\\mathcal{O}}({N}^{4})$$ O ( N 4 ) scaling and a corresponding quantum variational algorithm for the folding of a polymer chain with N monomers on a lattice. The model reflects many physico-chemical properties of the protein, reducing the gap between coarse-grained representations and mere lattice models. In addition, we use a robust and versatile optimization scheme, bringing together variational quantum algorithms specifically adapted to classical cost functions and evolutionary strategies to simulate the folding of the 10 amino acid Angiotensin on 22 qubits. The same method is also successfully applied to the study of the folding of a 7 amino acid neuropeptide using 9 qubits on an IBM 20-qubit quantum computer.

Research in this area has focused primarily on variational quantum algorithms (VQAs), and several proposals to enhance supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms with VQAs have been put forward. Out of the three, RL is the least studied and it is still an open question whether VQAs can be competitive with state-of-the-art classical algorithms based on neural networks (NNs) even on simple benchmark tasks. In this work, we introduce a training method for parametrized quantum circuits (PQCs) that can be used to solve RL tasks for discrete and continuous state spaces based on the deep Q-learning algorithm. We investigate which architectural choices for quantum Q-learning agents are most important for successfully solving certain types of environments by performing ablation studies for a number of different data encoding and readout strategies. We provide insight into why the performance of a VQA-based Q-learning algorithm crucially depends on the observables of the quantum model and show how to choose suitable observables based on the learning task at hand. To compare our model against the classical DQN algorithm, we perform an extensive hyperparameter search of PQCs and NNs with varying numbers of parameters. We confirm that similar to results in classical literature, the architectural choices and hyperparameters contribute more to the agents&amp;apos; success in a RL setting than the number of parameters used in the model. Finally, we show when recent separation results between classical and quantum agents for policy gradient RL can be extended to inferring optimal Q-values in restricted families of environments.","author":[{"family":"Skolik","given":"Andrea"},{"family":"Jerbi","given":"Sofiène"},{"family":"Dunjko","given":"Vedran"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.22331/q-2022-05-24-720","URL":"https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2022-05-24-720","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3008670164","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Algorithms for Simulating the Lattice Schwinger Model","abstract":"The Schwinger model (quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions) is a testbed for the study of quantum gauge field theories.

This nonlocality renders topological qubits exponentially immune to dephasing from all sources of classical noise with operator support local on the scale of $L$. We perform detailed analytical and numerical analyses of a time-domain Ramsey-type protocol for noisy Majorana-based qubits that is designed to validate this coveted topological protection in near-term devices such as the so-called ``tetron'' design. By assessing dependence of dephasing times on tunable parameters, e.g., magnetic field, our proposed protocol can clearly distinguish a bona fide Majorana qubit from one constructed from semilocal Andreev bound states, which can otherwise closely mimic the true topological scenario in local probes. In addition, we analyze leakage of the qubit out of its low-energy manifold due to classical-noise-induced generation of quasiparticle excitations; leakage limits the qubit lifetime when the bulk gap collapses, and hence our protocol further reveals the onset of a topological phase transition. This experiment requires measurement of two nearby Majorana modes for both initialization and readout---achievable, for example, by tunnel coupling to a nearby quantum dot---but no further Majorana manipulations, and thus constitutes an enticing prebraiding experiment.

Quantum computing is not an evolution of classical computer science; it is actually a revolution that completely changes the computing paradigm. Quantum computers are based on the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, and they seek to boost computational power exponentially. Many problems that have until now been impossible to solve, in practical terms, might very well be able to be addressed by means of quantum computing. The fact is that at the present time quantum computing is influencing most business sectors and research fields, due to its various promising applications. To make such applications become reality, quantum algorithms must be specially coded for these extremely different computers. Although some well-known quantum algorithms already exist, the need for quantum software will increase dramatically in the next years. In that context, quantum software has to be produced in a more industrial and controlled way, i.e., aspects such as quality, delivery, project management, or evolution of quantum software must be addressed.

While GaN power devices have recently been commercialized in the 15–900 V classes, new GaN devices are greatly desirable to explore both higher-voltage and ultra-low-voltage power applications. Moving into the RF domain, ultra-high frequency GaN devices are being used to implement digitized power amplifier circuits, and further advances using the hardware–software co-design approach can be expected. On the horizon is the GaN CMOS technology, a key missing piece to realize the full-GaN platform with integrated digital, power, and RF electronics technologies.

Due to its excellent transport characteristics and ability to generate free carriers via polarization doping, GaN is expected to be an important technology for ultra-low temperature and quantum computing electronics.

Recently, the development of error correcting codes tailored to particular physical noise models has helped relax these requirements. In this work, we propose a qubit encoding and gate protocol for 171 Yb neutral atom qubits that converts the dominant physical errors into erasures, that is, errors in known locations. The key idea is to encode qubits in a metastable electronic level, such that gate errors predominantly result in transitions to disjoint subspaces whose populations can be continuously monitored via fluorescence. We estimate that 98% of errors can be converted into erasures. We quantify the benefit of this approach via circuit-level simulations of the surface code, finding a threshold increase from 0.937% to 4.15%. We also observe a larger code distance near the threshold, leading to a faster decrease in the logical error rate for the same number of physical qubits, which is important for near-term implementations. Erasure conversion should benefit any error correcting code, and may also be applied to design new gates and encodings in other qubit platforms.","author":[{"family":"Wu","given":"Yue"},{"family":"Kolkowitz","given":"Shimon"},{"family":"Puri","given":"Shruti"},{"family":"Thompson","given":"Jeff"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41467-022-32094-6","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32094-6","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3216902878","type":"article-journal","title":"Randomized compiling for scalable quantum computing on a noisy superconducting quantum processor","abstract":"The successful implementation of algorithms on quantum processors relies on the accurate control of quantum bits (qubits) to perform logic gate operations. In this era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computing, systematic miscalibrations, drift, and crosstalk in the control of qubits can lead to a coherent form of error which has no classical analog. Coherent errors severely limit the performance of quantum algorithms in an unpredictable manner, and mitigating their impact is necessary for realizing reliable quantum computations. Moreover, the average error rates measured by randomized benchmarking and related protocols are not sensitive to the full impact of coherent errors, and therefore do not reliably predict the global performance of quantum algorithms, leaving us unprepared to validate the accuracy of future large-scale quantum computations. Randomized compiling is a protocol designed to overcome these performance limitations by converting coherent errors into stochastic noise, dramatically reducing unpredictable errors in quantum algorithms and enabling accurate predictions of algorithmic performance from error rates measured via cycle benchmarking. In this work, we demonstrate significant performance gains under randomized compiling for the four-qubit quantum Fourier transform algorithm and for random circuits of variable depth on a superconducting quantum processor. Additionally, we accurately predict algorithm performance using experimentally-measured error rates. Our results demonstrate that randomized compiling can be utilized to leverage and predict the capabilities of modern-day noisy quantum processors, paving the way forward for scalable quantum computing.","author":[{"family":"Hashim","given":"Akel"},{"family":"Naik","given":"Ravi"},{"family":"Morvan","given":"Alexis"},{"family":"Ville","given":"Jean"},{"family":"Mitchell","given":"Bradley"},{"family":"Kreikebaum","given":"John"},{"family":"Davis","given":"Marc"},{"family":"Smith","given":"Ethan"},{"family":"Iancu","given":"Costin"},{"family":"Obrien","given":"Kevin"},{"family":"Hincks","given":"Ian"},{"family":"Wallman","given":"Joel"},{"family":"Emerson","given":"Joseph"},{"family":"Siddiqi","given":"Irfan"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevx.11.041039","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevx.11.041039","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3430030","type":"article-journal","title":"Practical Quantum Computing","abstract":"In the last few years, several quantum algorithms that try to address the problem of partial differential equation solving have been devised: on the one hand, “direct” quantum algorithms that aim at encoding the solution of the PDE by executing one large quantum circuit; on the other hand, variational algorithms that approximate the solution of the PDE by executing several small quantum circuits and making profit of classical optimisers.

To accomplish neuromorphic computing, highly efficient optoelectronic synapses, which can be the building blocks of optoelectronic neuromorphic computers, are necessary. Currently, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), an attractive candidate to develop circuit‐level photonic synapses, provide weak light responses. The inferior photoresponse of CNTs increases the energy consumption of neuromorphic optoelectronic devices. Herein, a method to grow organic–inorganic halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) directly on multiwall CNTs (MWCNTs) to increase the photosensitivity of optoelectronic synapses is demonstrated. The new hybrid material synchronizes the high photoresponse of PQDs and the excellent electrical properties of MWCNTs to provide photonic memory under very low light intensity (125 µW cm−2). However, neat MWCNTs do not show any detectable light response at the tested light intensity, as high as 25 mW cm−2.

Such simulations on quantum computers, promising a significantly greater accuracy and speed, are projected to exert a great impact on the way we can probe reality, predict the outcomes of chemical experiments, and even drive design of drugs, catalysts, and materials. In this work we review the current status of quantum hardware and algorithm theory and examine whether such popular claims about quantum advantage are really going to be transformative. We go over subtle complications of quantum chemical research that tend to be overlooked in discussions involving quantum computers. We estimate quantum computer resources that will be required for performing calculations on quantum computers with chemical accuracy for several types of molecules. In particular, we directly compare the resources and timings associated with classical and quantum computers for the molecules H$_2$ for increasing basis set sizes, and Cr$_2$ for a variety of complete active spaces (CAS) within the scope of the CASCI and CASSCF methods. The results obtained for the chromium dimer enable us to estimate the size of the active space at which computations of non-dynamic correlation on a quantum computer should take less time than analogous computations on a classical computer. Using this result, we speculate on the types of chemical applications for which the use of quantum computers would be both beneficial and relevant to industrial applications in the short term.","author":[{"family":"Elfving","given":"Vincent"},{"family":"Broer","given":"Benno"},{"family":"Webber","given":"Mark"},{"family":"Gavartin","given":"Jacob"},{"family":"Halls","given":"Mathew"},{"family":"Lorton","given":"KP"},{"family":"Bochevarov","given":"Arteum"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2009.12472","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2009.12472","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4307574639","type":"article-journal","title":"Essential Characteristics of Memristors for Neuromorphic Computing","abstract":"Abstract The memristor is a resistive switch where its resistive state is programable based on the applied voltage or current.

This problem is known as community detection, and has become very important in various fields of science including chemistry, biology and social sciences. The problem of community detection is a twofold problem that consists of determining the number of communities and, at the same time, finding those communities. This drastically increases the solution space for heuristics to work on, compared to traditional graph partitioning problems. In many of the scientific domains in which graphs are used, there is the need to have the ability to partition a graph into communities with the \"highest quality\" possible since the presence of even small isolated communities can become crucial to explain a particular phenomenon. We have explored community detection using the power of quantum annealers, and in particular the D-Wave 2X and 2000Q machines. It turns out that the problem of detecting at most two communities naturally fits into the architecture of a quantum annealer with almost no need of reformulation. This paper addresses a systematic study of detecting two or more communities in a network using a quantum annealer.","author":[{"family":"Negre","given":"Christian"},{"family":"Ushijimamwesigwa","given":"Hayato"},{"family":"Mniszewski","given":"Susan"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.1371/journal.pone.0227538","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0227538","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4392489714","type":"manuscript","title":"Quantum Computing: Vision and Challenges","abstract":"The recent development of quantum computing, which uses entanglement, superposition, and other quantum fundamental concepts, can provide substantial processing advantages over traditional computing.

This is achieved by computation offloading from the mobile devices to the edge nodes or servers. However, not all applications benefit from computation offloading, which is only suitable for certain types of tasks. Task properties, SMD capability, wireless channel state, and other factors must be counted when making computation offloading decisions. Hence, optimization methods are important tools in scheduling computation offloading tasks in Edge Computing networks. In this paper, we review six types of optimization methods - they are Lyapunov optimization, convex optimization, heuristic techniques, game theory, machine learning, and others. For each type, we focus on the objective functions, application areas, types of offloading methods, evaluation methods, as well as the time complexity of the proposed algorithms.

Quantum hydrodynamic theory (QHT) has emerged as a powerful method to calculate the optical response of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) since it takes into account nonlocality and spillout effects. Nevertheless, the absorption spectra of metallic NPs obtained with conventional QHT, i.e., incorporating Thomas-Fermi (TF) and von Weizscker (vW) kinetic energy (KE) contributions, can be affected by several spurious resonances at energies higher than the main localized surface plasmon (LSP). These peaks are not present in reference time-dependent density-functional-theory spectra, where, instead, only a broad shoulder exists. Moreover, we show here that these peaks incorrectly reduce the LSP peak intensity and have a strong dependence on the simulation domain size so that a proper calculation of QHT absorption spectra can be problematic. In this article, we introduce a more general QHT method accounting for KE contributions depending on the Laplacian of the electronic density (q), thus, beyond the gradient-only dependence of the TFvW functional. We show that employing a KE functional with a term proportional to q 2 results in an absorption spectrum free of spurious peaks, with LSP resonance of correct intensity and numerically stable Bennett state. Finally, we present a novel Laplacian-level KE functional that is very accurate for the description of the optical properties of NPs of different sizes as well as for dimers.

This emerging paradigm shows a significant potential to overcome the barrier of computational limitations with better and faster solutions in optimization, simulations, and machine learning problems. In recent years, substantial progress in developing advanced quantum hardware, software, and algorithms have made QC more feasible to apply in various research areas, including smart grids. It is evident that considerable research has already been carried out, and such efforts are remarkably continuing. As QC is a highly evolving field of study, a brief review of the existing literature will be vital to realize the state‐of‐art on QC for smart grid applications. Therefore, this article summarizes the research outcomes of the most recent papers, highlights their suggestions for utilizing QC techniques for various smart grid applications, and further identifies the potential smart grid applications. Several real‐world QC case studies in various research fields besides power and energy systems are demonstrated. Moreover, a brief overview of available quantum hardware specifications, software tools, and algorithms is described with a comparative analysis.","author":[{"family":"Ullah","given":"Md"},{"family":"Eskandarpour","given":"Rozhin"},{"family":"Zheng","given":"Honghao"},{"family":"Khodaei","given":"Amin"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1049/gtd2.12602","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1049/gtd2.12602","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4226075590","type":"article-journal","title":"Status report on the third round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process","abstract":"The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of selecting public-key cryptographic algorithms through a public, competition-like process.

For a QKD network of n users, this method requires $${C}_{n}^{2}=n(n-1)/2$$ C n 2 = n ( n − 1 ) / 2 pairs of symmetric keys to realize pairwise interconnection. In contrast, with the help of a mature public key infrastructure (PKI) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with quantum-resistant security, each user only needs to apply for one digital certificate from a certificate authority (CA) to achieve efficient and secure authentication for QKD. We need to assume only the short-term security of the PQC algorithm to achieve long-term security of the distributed keys. Here, we experimentally verified the feasibility, efficiency, and stability of the PQC algorithm in QKD authentication, and demonstrated the advantages when new users join the QKD network. Using the PQC public-key infrastructure, the nodes need to mutually trust only the CA to authenticate each other. QKD combined with PQC authentication will greatly promote and extend the application prospects of quantum-safe communication.","author":[{"family":"Wang","given":"Liujun"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Kaiyi"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Jiayong"},{"family":"Cheng","given":"Jie"},{"family":"Yang","given":"Yonghua"},{"family":"Tang","given":"Shi"},{"family":"Yan","given":"Di"},{"family":"Tang","given":"Yan"},{"family":"Liu","given":"Zhen"},{"family":"Yu","given":"Yu"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Qiang"},{"family":"Pan","given":"Jian"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41534-021-00400-7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-021-00400-7","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3189526869","type":"article-journal","title":"Fault-tolerant operation of a logical qubit in a diamond quantum processor","abstract":"Abstract Solid-state spin qubits is a promising platform for quantum computation and quantum networks1,2.

Here, we demonstrate fault-tolerant operations on a logical qubit using spin qubits in diamond. Our approach is based on the five-qubit code with a recently discovered flag protocol that enables fault tolerance using a total of seven qubits28–30. We encode the logical qubit using a new protocol based on repeated multi-qubit measurements and show that it outperforms non-fault-tolerant encoding schemes. We then fault-tolerantly manipulate the logical qubit through a complete set of single-qubit Clifford gates. Finally, we demonstrate flagged stabilizer measurements with real-time processing of the outcomes. Such measurements are a primitive for fault-tolerant quantum error correction. Although future improvements in fidelity and the number of qubits will be required to suppress logical error rates below the physical error rates, our realization of fault-tolerant protocols on the logical-qubit level is a key step towards quantum information processing based on solid-state spins.","author":[{"family":"Abobeih","given":"MH"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Yang"},{"family":"Randall","given":"J"},{"family":"Loenen","given":"SJH"},{"family":"Bradley","given":"CE"},{"family":"Markham","given":"Matthew"},{"family":"Twitchen","given":"Daniel"},{"family":"Terhal","given":"Barbara"},{"family":"Taminiau","given":"TH"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41586-022-04819-6","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-04819-6","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4296842505","type":"article-journal","title":"Status report on the third round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization process","abstract":"The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of selecting public-key cryptographic algorithms through a public, competition-like process.

In this paper, an up-to-date privacy method mapping and relevant use cases are surveyed for II services. Particularly, we emphasize on post-quantum cryptography techniques that may (or must when quantum computers become a reality) be used in the future through concrete products, pilots, and projects. The topics presented in this paper are of utmost importance as (1) several recent regulations such as Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have given privacy a significant place in digital society, and (2) the increase of IoT/II applications and digital services with growing data collection capabilities are introducing new threats and risks on citizens' privacy. This in-depth survey begins with an overview of security and privacy threats in IoT/IIs. Next, we summarize some selected Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) suitable for privacy-concerned II services, and then map recent PET schemes based on post-quantum cryptographic primitives which are capable of withstanding quantum computing attacks. This paper also overviews how PETs can be deployed in practical use cases in the scope of IoT/IIs, and maps some current projects, pilots, and products that deal with PETs.

In late 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) launched a project to standardize one or more quantum computer-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms. Among the main post-quantum algorithm classes, lattice-based cryptography is believed to be quantum-resistant. The standardization efforts including that of the NIST which will be concluded in 2022-2024 also affirm the importance of such algorithms. In this work, we propose error detection schemes for lattice-based key encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs). As our case study, we apply such schemes to the hardware accelerators for three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that have advanced to the third round of the NIST PQC standardization process, i.e., FrodoKEM, Saber, and NTRU. The merit of the proposed schemes is that they can be applied to other applications and cryptographic algorithms that use multiplications in their hardware accelerators. The schemes proposed in this paper are based on recomputing with shifted, negated, and scaled operands. Moreover, we implement our fault detection schemes on field-programmable gate array (FPGA) family Kintex Ultrascale+ device xcku5p-sfvb784-1LV-i to benchmark the overheads induced and the performance degradation of the proposed approaches when added to the original architectures.

In order to reduce the spectral weight of all other eigenvectors by a suppression factor $\\ensuremath{\\delta}$, the required computational effort scales as $O[|\\mathrm{log}\\ensuremath{\\delta}|/(p\\ensuremath{\\epsilon})]$, where $p$ is the squared overlap of the initial state with the target eigenvector. The method, which we call the rodeo algorithm, uses auxiliary qubits to control the time evolution of the Hamiltonian minus some tunable parameter $E$. With each auxiliary qubit measurement, the amplitudes of the eigenvectors are multiplied by a stochastic factor that depends on the proximity of their energy to $E$. In this manner, we converge to the target eigenvector with exponential accuracy in the number of measurements. In addition to preparing eigenvectors, the method can also compute the full spectrum of the Hamiltonian. We illustrate the performance with several examples.

One of the fundamental questions hardly known is how quantum computing research is developing to support scientific advances and the evolution of path-breaking technologies for economic, industrial, and social change. This study confronts the question here by applying methods of computational scientometrics for publication analyses to explain the structure and evolution of quantum computing research and technologies over a 30-year period. Results reveal that the evolution of quantum computing from 1990 to 2020 has a considerable average increase of connectivity in the network (growth of degree centrality measure), a moderate increase of the average influence of nodes on the flow between nodes (little growth of betweenness centrality measure), and a little reduction of the easiest access of each node to all other nodes (closeness centrality measure). This evolutionary dynamics is due to the increase in size and complexity of the network in quantum computing research over time. This study also suggests that the network of quantum computing has a transition from hardware to software research that supports accelerated evolution of technological pathways in quantum image processing, quantum machine learning, and quantum sensors. Theoretical implications of this study show the morphological evolution of the network in quantum computing from a symmetric to an asymmetric shape driven by new inter-related research fields and emerging technological trajectories.

An exponential scaling of computational cost renders solving the time dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) of a molecular Hamiltonian, including both electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom (DOFs), as well as their couplings, infeasible for more than a few DOFs. In the Born-Oppenheimer (BO), or adiabatic, picture, electronic and nuclear parts of the wave function are decoupled and treated separately. Within this framework, the nuclear wave function evolves along potential energy surfaces (PESs) computed as solutions to the electronic Schrödinger equation parametrized in the nuclear DOFs. This approximation, together with increasingly elaborate numerical approaches to solve the nuclear time dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE), enabled the treatment of up to a few dozens of degrees of freedom (DOFs). However, for particular applications, such as photochemistry, the BO approximation breaks down. In this regime of non-adiabatic dynamics, solving the full molecular problem including electron-nuclear couplings becomes essential, further increasing the complexity of the numerical solution. Although valuable methods such as multiconfigurational time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) have been proposed for the solution of the coupled electron-nuclear dynamics, they remain hampered by an exponential scaling in the number of nuclear DOFs and by the difficulty of finding universal variational forms.In this Account, we present a perspective on novel quantum computational algorithms, aiming to alleviate the exponential scaling inherent to the simulation of many-body quantum dynamics. In particular, we focus on the derivation and application of quantum algorithms for adiabatic and non-adiabatic quantum dynamics, which include efficient approaches for the calculation of the BO potential energy surfaces (PESs). Thereafter, we study the time-evolution of a model system consisting of two coupled PESs in first and second quantization. In a first application, we discuss a recently introduced quantum algorithm for the evolution of a wavepacket in first quantization and exploit the potential quantum advantage of mapping its spatial grid representation to logarithmically many qubits. For the second demonstration, we move to the second quantization framework and review the scaling properties of two alternative time-evolution algorithms, namely, a variational quantum algorithm (VQA) (based on the McLachlan variational principle) and conventional Trotter-type evolution (based on a Lie-Trotter-Suzuki formula). Both methods clearly demonstrate the potential of quantum algorithms and their favorable scaling compared to the available classical approaches. However, a clear demonstration of quantum advantage in the context of molecular quantum dynamics may require the implementation of these algorithms in fault-tolerant quantum computers, while their application in near-term, noisy quantum devices is still unclear and deserves further investigation.","author":[{"family":"Ollitrault","given":"Pauline"},{"family":"Miessen","given":"Alexander"},{"family":"Tavernelli","given":"Ivano"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1021/acs.accounts.1c00514","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.accounts.1c00514","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3181515949","type":"article-journal","title":"Deterministic multi-mode gates on a scalable photonic quantum computing platform","abstract":"Quantum computing can be realized with numerous different hardware platforms and computational protocols. A highly promising approach to foster scalability is to apply a photonic platform combined with a measurement-induced quantum information processing protocol where gate operations are realized through optical measurements on a multipartite entangled quantum state -- a so-called cluster state. Heretofore, a few quantum gates on non-universal or non-scalable cluster states have been, but a full set of gates for universal scalable quantum computing has not been realized. We propose and demonstrate the deterministic implementation of a multi-mode set of measurement-induced quantum gates in a large two-dimensional (2D) optical cluster state using phase-controlled continuous variable quadrature measurements. Each gate is simply programmed into the phases of the high-efficiency quadrature measurements which execute the transformations by teleportation through the cluster state. Using these programmable gates, we demonstrate a small quantum circuit consisting of 10 single-mode gates and 2 two-mode gates on a three-mode input state. On this platform, fault-tolerant universal quantum computing is possible if the cluster state entanglement is improved and a supply of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill qubits is available. Moreover, it operates at the telecom wavelength and is therefore network connectable without quantum transducers.","author":[{"family":"Larsen","given":"Mikkel"},{"family":"Guo","given":"Xueshi"},{"family":"Breum","given":"Casper"},{"family":"Neergaard-Nielsen","given":"Jonas"},{"family":"Andersen","given":"Ulrik"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41567-021-01296-y","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-021-01296-y","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4214523134","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum computing challenges in the software industry. A fuzzy AHP-based approach","abstract":"The current technology revolution has posed unexpected challenges for the software industry. In recent years, the field of quantum computing (QC) technologies has continued to grow in influence and maturity, and it is now poised to revolutionise software engineering. However, the evaluation and prioritisation of QC challenges in the software industry remain unexplored, relatively under-identified and fragmented. The purpose of this study is to identify, examine and prioritise the most critical challenges in the software industry by implementing a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP). First, to identify the key challenges, we conducted a systematic literature review by drawing data from the four relevant digital libraries and supplementing these efforts with a forward and backward snowballing search. Second, we followed the F-AHP approach to evaluate and rank the identified challenges, or barriers. The results show that the key barriers to QC adoption are the lack of technical expertise, information accuracy and organisational interest in adopting the new process. Another critical barrier is the lack of standards of secure communication techniques for implementing QC. By applying F-AHP, we identified institutional barriers as the highest and organisational barriers as the second highest global weight ranked categories among the main QC challenges facing the software industry. We observed that the highest-ranked local barriers facing the software technology industry are the lack of resources for design and initiative while the lack of organisational interest in adopting the new process is the most significant organisational barrier. Our findings, which entail implications for both academicians and practitioners, reveal the emergent nature of QC research and the increasing need for interdisciplinary research to address the identified challenges.","author":[{"family":"Awan","given":"Usama"},{"family":"Hannola","given":"Lea"},{"family":"Tandon","given":"Anushree"},{"family":"Goyal","given":"Raman"},{"family":"Dhir","given":"Amandeep"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1016/j.infsof.2022.106896","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.infsof.2022.106896","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3090652612","type":"article-journal","title":"Machine Learning Algorithms in Quantum Computing: A Survey","abstract":"Machine Learning (ML) aims at designing models that learn from previous experience, without being explicitly formulated.

Various companies such as, IBM, Rigetti and D-Wave offer quantum computers using a cloud-based platform that possess several interesting features namely, (i) quantum hardware with various number of qubits and coupling maps exist at the cloud end that offer different computing capabilities; (ii) multiple hardware with identical coupling maps exist in the suite; (iii) coupling map of larger hardware with more number of qubits can fit the coupling map of many smaller hardware; (iv) the quality of each of the hardware is distinct; (v) user cannot validate the origination of the result obtained from a quantum hardware. In other words, the user relies on the scheduler of the cloud provider to allocate the requested hardware; (vi) the queue of quantum programs at the cloud end is typically long and maximizing the throughput, which is the key to reducing costs and helping the scientific community in their explorations. The above factors motivate a new threat model with following possibilities: (a) in future, less-trustworthy quantum computers from 3rd parties can allocate poor quality hardware to save on cost or towards satisfying their falsely-advertised qubit or quantum hardware specifications; (b) the workload scheduling algorithm could have a bug or malicious code segment which will try to maximize throughput at the cost of allocation to poor fidelity hardware. Such bugs are possible for trustworthy providers; (c) a rogue employee in trusted cloud vendor could try to sabotage the vendor's reputation by degrading the user compute fidelity just by tampering with the scheduling algorithm or rerouting the program; (d) a rogue employee can steal information by redirecting the programs to a 3rd party quantum hardware where they have full control. If the allocated hardware is inferior in quality, the user will suffer from poor quality result or longer convergence time.

In this paper, some perspectives are given by identifying a set of needs and challenges for a selected set of opportunities, such as quantum chemistry-based property prediction, protein folding, complex multi-step chemical reactions, and molecular reaction dynamics.","author":[{"family":"Andersson","given":"Martin"},{"family":"Jones","given":"Mark"},{"family":"Mikkelsen","given":"Kurt"},{"family":"You","given":"Fengqi"},{"family":"Mansouri","given":"Seyed"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1016/j.coche.2021.100754","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coche.2021.100754","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3205637696","type":"article-journal","title":"Low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computing using long-range connectivity","abstract":"Vast numbers of qubits will be needed for large-scale quantum computing because of the overheads associated with error correction.

In our approach, logic gates operate via logical Pauli measurements that preserve both the protection of the LDPC codes and the low overheads in terms of the required number of additional qubits. Compared with surface codes with the same code distance, we estimate order-of-magnitude improvements in the overheads for processing around 100 logical qubits using this approach.

Aaronson (CCC 2009) initiated the formal study of quantum copy-protection schemes, and speculated that quantum cryptography could offer a solution to the problem thanks to the quantum no-cloning theorem. In this work, we introduce a quantum copy-protection scheme for a large class of evasive functions known as \"compute-and-compare programs\" – a more expressive generalization of point functions. A compute-and-compare program CC[f,y] is specified by a function f and a string y within its range: on input x , CC[f,y] outputs 1 , if f(x)=y , and 0 otherwise. We prove that our scheme achieves non-trivial security against fully malicious adversaries in the quantum random oracle model (QROM), which makes it the first copy-protection scheme to enjoy any level of provable security in a standard cryptographic model. As a complementary result, we show that the same scheme fulfils a weaker notion of software protection, called \"secure software leasing\", introduced very recently by Ananth and La Placa (eprint 2020), with a standard security bound in the QROM, i.e. guaranteeing negligible adversarial advantage.

Code-based cryptography is one feasible solution whose hardware architectures have become the focus of research in the NIST standardization process and has been advanced to the final round (to be concluded by 2022–2024). Nevertheless, although these constructions, e.g., McEliece and Niederreiter public key cryptography, have strong error correction properties, previous studies have proved the vulnerability of their hardware implementations against faults product of the environment and intentional faults, i.e., differential fault analysis. It is previously shown that depending on the codes used, i.e., classical or reduced (using either quasi-dyadic Goppa codes or quasi-cyclic alternant codes), flaws in error detection could be observed. In this work, efficient fault detection constructions are proposed for the first time to account for such shortcomings. Such schemes are based on regular parity, interleaved parity, and two different cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), i.e., CRC-2 and CRC-8. Without losing the generality, we experiment on the McEliece variant, noting that the presented schemes can be used for other code-based cryptosystems.

Cyberattackers are doing exactly this, of course, at high speed and with increasing computing performance. The recommended security key length is thus getting longer by the year. Yet, the stepwise process to achieve this is tedious or consumes lots of computing power. Now imagine that all of these possible states could be tried in a single step. This would be good for your own number lock, but frightening for our security infrastructure.","author":[{"family":"Hevia","given":"José"},{"family":"Peterssen","given":"Guido"},{"family":"Ebert","given":"Christof"},{"family":"Piattini","given":"Mario"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1109/ms.2021.3087755","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ms.2021.3087755","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3216098461","type":"article-journal","title":"omg blueprint for trapped ion quantum computing with metastable states","abstract":"Quantum computers, much like their classical counterparts, will likely benefit from flexible qubit encodings that can be matched to different tasks.

For instance, a 3D direct numerical simulation of a turbulent boundary-layer over the wing of a commercial jetliner that resolves all relevant length scales using a serial CFD solver on a modern digital computer would take approximately 750 million years or roughly 20% of the earth’s age. Over the past 25 years, quantum computers have become the object of great interest worldwide as powerful quantum algorithms have been constructed for several important, computationally challenging problems that provide enormous speed-up over the best-known classical algorithms. In this paper, we adapt a recently introduced quantum algorithm for partial differential equations to Burgers’ equation and develop a quantum CFD solver that determines its solutions. We used our quantum CFD solver to verify the quantum Burgers’ equation algorithm to find the flow solution when a shockwave is and is not present. The quantum simulation results were compared to: (i) an exact analytical solution for a flow without a shockwave; and (ii) the results of a classical CFD solver for flows with and without a shockwave. Excellent agreement was found in both cases, and the error of the quantum CFD solver was comparable to that of the classical CFD solver.","author":[{"family":"Oz","given":"Furkan"},{"family":"Vuppala","given":"Rohit"},{"family":"Kara","given":"Kursat"},{"family":"Gaitan","given":"Frank"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1007/s11128-021-03391-8","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11128-021-03391-8","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3213900785","type":"article-journal","title":"Teaching Quantum Computing to High-School-Aged Youth: A Hands-On Approach","abstract":"Quantum computing is aninterdisciplinary field that lies at the intersection of mathematics, quantum physics, and computer science, and finds applications in areas including optimization, machine learning, and simulation of chemical, physical, and biological systems.

The wave function parametrization should be expressive enough, i.e., represent the true eigenstate of a quantum system for some choice of parameter values. On the other hand, it should be trainable, i.e., the number of parameters should not grow exponentially with the size of the system. Here, we apply VQE to the problem of finding ground and excited state energies of the odd-odd nucleus $^{6}\\mathrm{Li}$. We study the effects of ordering fermionic excitation operators in the unitary coupled clusters ansatz on the VQE algorithm convergence by using only operators preserving the ${J}_{z}$ quantum number.

We then design a resource allocation strategy that is evaluated through a comprehensive simulation campaign, whose results highlight the key features and performance issues, and lead the way to further investigation in this direction.","author":[{"family":"Cicconetti","given":"Claudio"},{"family":"Conti","given":"Marco"},{"family":"Passarella","given":"Andrea"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1109/smartcomp55677.2022.00032","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/smartcomp55677.2022.00032","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3110989801","type":"article-journal","title":"Towards 6G wireless communication networks: vision, enabling technologies, and new paradigm shifts","abstract":"Abstract The fifth generation (5G) wireless communication networks are being deployed worldwide from 2020 and more capabilities are in the process of being standardized, such as mass connectivity, ultra-reliability, and guaranteed low latency. However, 5G will not meet all requirements of the future in 2030 and beyond, and sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks are expected to provide global coverage, enhanced spectral/energy/cost efficiency, better intelligence level and security, etc. To meet these requirements, 6G networks will rely on new enabling technologies, i.e., air interface and transmission technologies and novel network architecture, such as waveform design, multiple access, channel coding schemes, multi-antenna technologies, network slicing, cell-free architecture, and cloud/fog/edge computing. Our vision on 6G is that it will have four new paradigm shifts. First, to satisfy the requirement of global coverage, 6G will not be limited to terrestrial communication networks, which will need to be complemented with non-terrestrial networks such as satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication networks, thus achieving a space-air-ground-sea integrated communication network. Second, all spectra will be fully explored to further increase data rates and connection density, including the sub-6 GHz, millimeter wave (mmWave), terahertz (THz), and optical frequency bands. Third, facing the big datasets generated by the use of extremely heterogeneous networks, diverse communication scenarios, large numbers of antennas, wide bandwidths, and new service requirements, 6G networks will enable a new range of smart applications with the aid of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data technologies. Fourth, network security will have to be strengthened when developing 6G networks. This article provides a comprehensive survey of recent advances and future trends in these four aspects. Clearly, 6G with additional technical requirements beyond those of 5G will enable faster and further communications to the extent that the boundary between physical and cyber worlds disappears.","author":[{"family":"You","given":"Xiaohu"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Cheng‐xiang"},{"family":"Huang","given":"Jie"},{"family":"Gao","given":"Xiqi"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Zaichen"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Mao"},{"family":"Huang","given":"Yongming"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Chuan"},{"family":"Jiang","given":"Yanxiang"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Jiaheng"},{"family":"Zhu","given":"Min"},{"family":"Sheng","given":"Bin"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Dongming"},{"family":"Pan","given":"Zhiwen"},{"family":"Zhu","given":"Pengcheng"},{"family":"Yang","given":"Yang"},{"family":"Liu","given":"Zening"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Ping"},{"family":"Tao","given":"Xiaofeng"},{"family":"Li","given":"Shaoqian"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zhi"},{"family":"Ma","given":"Xinying"},{"family":"Chihlin","given":"I"},{"family":"Han","given":"Shuangfeng"},{"family":"Li","given":"Ke"},{"family":"Pan","given":"Chengkang"},{"family":"Zheng","given":"Zhimin"},{"family":"Hanzo","given":"Lajos"},{"family":"Shen","given":"Xuemin"},{"family":"Guo","given":"Yingjie"},{"family":"Ding","given":"Zhiguo"},{"family":"Haas","given":"Harald"},{"family":"Tong","given":"Wen"},{"family":"Zhu","given":"Peiying"},{"family":"Yang","given":"Ganghua"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Jun"},{"family":"Larsson","given":"Erik"},{"family":"Ngo","given":"Hien"},{"family":"Hong","given":"Wei"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Haiming"},{"family":"Hou","given":"Debin"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Jixin"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Zhe"},{"family":"Hao","given":"Zhang‐cheng"},{"family":"Li","given":"Geoffrey"},{"family":"Tafazolli","given":"Rahim"},{"family":"Gao","given":"Yue"},{"family":"Poor","given":"HV"},{"family":"Fettweis","given":"Gerhard"},{"family":"Liang","given":"Ying‐chang"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.1007/s11432-020-2955-6","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11432-020-2955-6","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3036131095","type":"article-journal","title":"Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery, Imaging, and Theragnosis","abstract":"In the past few decades, polymeric nanocarriers have been recognized as promising tools and have gained attention from researchers for their potential to efficiently deliver bioactive compounds, including drugs, proteins, genes, nucleic acids, etc., in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Remarkably, these polymeric nanocarriers could be further modified as stimuli-responsive systems based on the mechanism of triggered release, i.e., response to a specific stimulus, either endogenous (pH, enzymes, temperature, redox values, hypoxia, glucose levels) or exogenous (light, magnetism, ultrasound, electrical pulses) for the effective biodistribution and controlled release of drugs or genes at specific sites. Various nanoparticles (NPs) have been functionalized and used as templates for imaging systems in the form of metallic NPs, dendrimers, polymeric NPs, quantum dots, and liposomes. The use of polymeric nanocarriers for imaging and to deliver active compounds has attracted considerable interest in various cancer therapy fields.

To withstand the drawbacks of the BA, quantum mechanics theories and Gaussian and Cauchy operators are integrated into the standard BA to enhance its effectiveness.

The numerical results indicate that the CGQBA is effective and superior to many other algorithms. Moreover, the CGQBA is applied to solve the ELD problems on various test systems including 3,6,20, 40,110 and 160 implemented generating units.

To facilitate their use, we provide an overview of existing methods, and evaluate general and method-specific configuration options. Quantum applications comprise many classical pre- and post-processing tasks, including readout error mitigation. Automation can facilitate the execution of these often complex tasks, as their manual execution is time-consuming and error-prone.

In this work, we propose a highly effective use of the surface Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code, i.e., the surface code consisting of bosonic GKP qubits instead of bare two-level qubits. In our proposal, we use error-corrected two-qubit gates between GKP qubits and introduce a maximum-likelihood decoding strategy for correcting shift errors in the two-GKP-qubit gates. Our proposed decoding reduces the total CNOT failure rate of the GKP qubits, e.g., from 0.87% to 0.36% at a GKP squeezing of 12 dB, compared to the case where the simple closest-integer decoding is used. Then, by concatenating the GKP code with the surface code, we find that the threshold GKP squeezing is given by 9.9 dB under the the assumption that finite squeezing of the GKP states is the dominant noise source. More importantly, we show that a low logical failure rate p L < 10 -7 can be achieved with moderate hardware requirements, e.g., 291 modes and 97 qubits at a GKP squeezing of 12 dB as opposed to 1457 bare qubits for the standard rotated surface code at an equivalent noise level (i.e., p = 0.36%). Such a low failure rate of our surface-GKP code is possible through the use of space-time correlated edges in the matching graphs of the surface-code decoder. Further, all edge weights in the matching graphs are computed dynamically based on analog information from the GKP error correction using the full history of all syndrome measurement rounds. We also show that a highly squeezed GKP state of GKP squeezing 12 dB can be experimentally realized by using a dissipative stabilization method, namely, the big-small-big method, with fairly conservative experimental parameters. Lastly, we introduce a three-level ancilla scheme to mitigate ancilla decay errors during a GKP state preparation.","author":[{"family":"Noh","given":"Kyungjoo"},{"family":"Chamberland","given":"Christopher"},{"family":"Brandão","given":"Fernando"},{"family":"Brandão","given":"Fernando"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1103/prxquantum.3.010315","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/prxquantum.3.010315","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3088076771","type":"manuscript","title":"Fault-Tolerant Operation of a Quantum Error-Correction Code","abstract":"Quantum error correction protects fragile quantum information by encoding it into a larger quantum system. These extra degrees of freedom enable the detection and correction of errors, but also increase the operational complexity of the encoded logical qubit. Fault-tolerant circuits contain the spread of errors while operating the logical qubit, and are essential for realizing error suppression in practice. While fault-tolerant design works in principle, it has not previously been demonstrated in an error-corrected physical system with native noise characteristics. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate fault-tolerant preparation, measurement, rotation, and stabilizer measurement of a Bacon-Shor logical qubit using 13 trapped ion qubits. When we compare these fault-tolerant protocols to non-fault tolerant protocols, we see significant reductions in the error rates of the logical primitives in the presence of noise. The result of fault-tolerant design is an average state preparation and measurement error of 0.6% and a Clifford gate error of 0.3% after error correction. Additionally, we prepare magic states with fidelities exceeding the distillation threshold, demonstrating all of the key single-qubit ingredients required for universal fault-tolerant operation. These results demonstrate that fault-tolerant circuits enable highly accurate logical primitives in current quantum systems.

QEC needs to be very power-efficient since the power budget is limited inside of a dilution refrigerator for superconducting qubits by which one of the most successful quantum computers (QCs) is built. In this paper, we propose an online-QEC algorithm and its hardware implementation with SFQ-based superconducting digital circuits. We design a key building block of the proposed hardware with an SFQ cell library and evaluate it by the SPICE-level simulation. Each logic element is composed of about 3000 Josephson junctions and power consumption is about 2.78 uW when operating with 2 GHz clock frequency which meets the required decoding speed. Our decoder is simulated on a quantum error simulator for code distances 5 to 13 and achieves a 1.0% accuracy threshold.","author":[{"family":"Ueno","given":"Yosuke"},{"family":"Kondo","given":"Masaaki"},{"family":"Tanaka","given":"Masamitsu"},{"family":"Suzuki","given":"Yasunari"},{"family":"Tabuchi","given":"Yutaka"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1109/dac18074.2021.9586326","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/dac18074.2021.9586326","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3096741884","type":"article-journal","title":"Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices for Neuromorphic Computing","abstract":"Neuromorphic computing can potentially solve the von Neumann bottleneck of current mainstream computing because it excels at self‐adaptive learning and highly parallel computing and consumes much less energy.

Exploiting near-term QC in computer-aided drug design (CADD) thus requires judicious partitioning between classical and quantum calculations. RESULTS: We present HypaCADD, a hybrid classical-quantum workflow for finding ligands binding to proteins, while accounting for genetic mutations. We explicitly identify modules of our drug-design workflow currently amenable to replacement by QC: non-intuitively, we identify the mutation-impact predictor as the best candidate. HypaCADD thus combines classical docking and molecular dynamics with quantum machine learning (QML) to infer the impact of mutations. We present a case study with the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) protease and associated mutants. We map a classical machine-learning module onto QC, using a neural network constructed from qubit-rotation gates. We have implemented this in simulation and on two commercial quantum computers. We find that the QML models can perform on par with, if not better than, classical baselines. In summary, HypaCADD offers a successful strategy for leveraging QC for CADD.

In this paper, a hybrid quantum-classical convolutional neural network (HQ-CNN) model using random quantum circuits as a base to detect COVID-19 patients with chest X-ray images is presented. A collection of 5445 chest X-ray images, including 1350 COVID-19, 1350 normal, 1345 viral pneumonia, and 1400 bacterial pneumonia images, were used to evaluate the HQ-CNN. The proposed HQ-CNN model has achieved higher performance with an accuracy of 98.6% and a recall of 99% on the first experiment (COVID-19 and normal cases). Besides, it obtained an accuracy of 98.2% and a recall of 99.5% on the second experiment (COVID-19 and viral pneumonia cases).

The security of these techniques requires a common secret key to be shared between the communicating entities or depend upon the premise that some mathematical problems are computationally hard. However, because of the open nature of the wireless medium, the communication cannot be kept confidential and is prone to eavesdropping. Furthermore, with the arrival of quantum computers, these techniques are prone to quantum attacks—the time complexity of the assumed hard problem gets reduced from millions of years to a few seconds. In this paper, we propose a conditional privacy-preserving authentication scheme based on a quantum key distribution protocol for vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. Our scheme inherits the properties of the quantum key distribution protocol. It does not require a secret authentication key to be transmitted conventionally and is resistant to quantum attacks. Apart from protecting VANETs against generic security threats, including node impersonation, message tampering, and repudiation, our scheme defends VANETs against man-in-the-middle attacks, replay attacks, etc. Besides, our protocol ensures message unlinkability, vehicle-identity privacy, and vehicle traceability if a vehicle misbehaves.

Nevertheless, due to the constraints of von Neumann‐based structures, humanoid robots are facing multiple challenges, including tremendous energy consumption, latency bottlenecks, and the lack of bionic properties. Memristors, featured with high similarity to the biological elements, play an important role in mimicking the biological nervous system. The memristor‐based nervous system allows humanoid robots to obtain high energy efficiency and bionic sensing properties, which are similar properties to the biological nervous system. Herein, this article first reviews the biological nervous system and memristor‐based nervous system thoroughly, including the structures and also the functions. The applications of memristor‐based nervous systems are introduced, the difficulties that need to be overcome are put forward, and future development prospects are also discussed. This review can hopefully provide an evolutionary perspective on humanoid robots and memristor‐based nervous systems.","author":[{"family":"Wang","given":"Shengbo"},{"family":"Song","given":"Lekai"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Wenbin"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Guanyu"},{"family":"Hao","given":"En"},{"family":"Li","given":"Cong"},{"family":"Hu","given":"Yuhan"},{"family":"Pan","given":"Yu"},{"family":"Nathan","given":"Arokia"},{"family":"Hu","given":"Guohua"},{"family":"Gao","given":"Shuo"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1002/aelm.202200877","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/aelm.202200877","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3216640610","type":"article-journal","title":"A review of quantum chemical methods for treating energetic molecules","abstract":"As a necessary tool for understanding, prediction, and design (especially on a microscopic scale), Quantum chemical (QC) methods have a profound impact on the field of energetic materials (EMs).

To address this challenge, we experimentally realise the [5, 1, 3] code, the so-called smallest perfect code that permits corrections of generic single-qubit errors. In the experiment, having optimised the encoding circuit, we employ an array of superconducting qubits to realise the [5, 1, 3] code for several typical logical states including the magic state, an indispensable resource for realising non-Clifford gates. The encoded states are prepared with an average fidelity of [Formula: see text] while with a high fidelity of [Formula: see text] in the code space. Then, the arbitrary single-qubit errors introduced manually are identified by measuring the stabilisers. We further implement logical Pauli operations with a fidelity of [Formula: see text] within the code space.

The key strategy is to compress the dimensionality of input states by erasing redundant information and recover the initial states after chip-to-chip teleportation. Unsupervised machine learning is applied to train the on-chip autoencoder, enabling the compression and teleportation of any state from a high-dimensional subspace.

We calculate the nucleon’s D-term in a holographic quantum chromodynamics model in which the nucleon is described as a soliton in five dimensions. We show that the form factor D(t) is saturated by the exchanges of infinitely many 0++ and 2++ glueballs dual to transverse-traceless metric fluctuations on the Wick-rotated AdS7 black hole geometry. We refer to this phenomenon as “glueball dominance,” in perfect analogy to the vector meson dominance of the electromagnetic form factors. However, the value at vanishing momentum transfer D(t = 0) can be interpreted as due to the exchange of pairs of pions and infinitely many vector and axial-vector mesons without any reference to glueballs. We find that the D-term is slightly negative as a result of a cancellation between the isovector and isoscalar meson contributions.","author":[{"family":"Fujita","given":"Mitsutoshi"},{"family":"Hatta","given":"Yoshitaka"},{"family":"Sugimoto","given":"Shigeki"},{"family":"Ueda","given":"Takahiro"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1093/ptep/ptac110","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ptep/ptac110","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4313313267","type":"article-journal","title":"A Review of the Present Cryptographic Arsenal to Deal with Post-Quantum Threats","abstract":"The looming threat of quantum attacks on the digital infrastructure protected by conventional cryptographic protocol has generated urgency in identifying and deploying countermeasures that can mitigate the threat. There is a need for stronger cryptographic schemes that combine the strengths of both classic and quantum technologies. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) has emerged as a potential solution that can withstand the challenges posed by advances in quantum computing. Owing to the increasing importance of PQC, the present research is an attempt to assess the existing research done so far so that the existing gaps can be identified which can then strengthen the existing literature. The systematic literature review presented in this work has outlined six key categories of PQC, namely, lattice-based, code-based, hash-based, multivariate, isogeny-based, symmetric-key-based cryptosystems. The study concluded that the advances made in quantum computing will result in the development of quantum computers with superior computational power. Such highly efficient quantum computers will have the ability to break the currently available cryptography schemes most used in a variety of practical applications. With the advent of quantum computing, the computational capabilities of the potential cyber attackers would grow exponentially, which would render the traditional cyber security measures inadequate.

However, the highly dynamic nature of FAPbI3 QDs, which mainly originates from the proton exchange between oleic acid and oleylamine (OAm) surface ligands, is a key hurdle that impedes the fabrication of high‐efficiency solar cells. To tackle such an issue, here, protonated‐OAm in situ to strengthen the ligand binding at the surface of FAPbI3 QDs, which can effectively suppress the defect formation during QD synthesis and purification processes is selectively introduced. In addition, by forming a halide‐rich surface environment, the ligand density in a broader range for FAPbI3 QDs without compromising their structural integrity, which significantly improves their optoelectronic properties can be modulated. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of FAPbI3 QD solar cells (QDSCs) is enhanced from 7.4% to 13.8%, a record for FAPbI3 QDSCs. Furthermore, the suppressed proton exchange and reduced surface defects in FAPbI3 QDs also enhance the stability of QDSCs, which retain 80% of the initial efficiency upon exposure to ambient air for 3000 hours.","author":[{"family":"Ding","given":"Shanshan"},{"family":"Hao","given":"Mengmeng"},{"family":"Fu","given":"Changkui"},{"family":"Lin","given":"Tongen"},{"family":"Baktash","given":"Ardeshir"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Peng"},{"family":"He","given":"Dongxu"},{"family":"Zhang","given":"Chengxi"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Weijian"},{"family":"Whittaker","given":"Andrew"},{"family":"Bai","given":"Yang"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Lianzhou"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1002/advs.202204476","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/advs.202204476","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4290064253","type":"manuscript","title":"Is there evidence for exponential quantum advantage in quantum chemistry?","abstract":"The idea to use quantum mechanical devices to simulate other quantum systems is commonly ascribed to Feynman.

System abnormalities or illegal operations can be found in time by analyzing the log and provide evidence for intrusions. In order to ensure the integrity of the log in the current system, many researchers have designed it based on blockchain. However, the emerging blockchain is facing significant security challenges with the increment of quantum computers. An attacker equipped with a quantum computer can extract the user's private key from the public key to generate a forged signature, destroy the structure of the blockchain, and threaten the security of the log system. Thus, blind signature on the lattice in post-quantum blockchain brings new security features for log systems. In our paper, to address these, firstly, we propose a novel log system based on post-quantum blockchain that can resist quantum computing attacks. Secondly, we utilize a post-quantum blind signature on the lattice to ensure both security and blindness of log system, which makes the privacy of log information to a large extent. Lastly, we enhance the security level of lattice-based blind signature under the random oracle model, and the signature size grows slowly compared with others. We also implement our protocol and conduct an extensive analysis to prove the ideas. The results show that our scheme signature size edges up subtly compared with others with the improvement of security level.","author":[{"family":"Xu","given":"Gang"},{"family":"Cao","given":"Yibo"},{"family":"Xu","given":"Shiyuan"},{"family":"Xiao","given":"Ke"},{"family":"Liu","given":"Xin"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Xiu‐bo"},{"family":"Dong","given":"Mianxiong"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.32604/csse.2022.022100","URL":"https://doi.org/10.32604/csse.2022.022100","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4289885698","type":"article-journal","title":"High-fidelity control of spin ensemble dynamics via artificial intelligence: from quantum computing to NMR spectroscopy and imaging","abstract":"Abstract High-fidelity control of spin ensemble dynamics is essential for many research areas, spanning from quantum computing and radio-frequency (RF) engineering to NMR spectroscopy and imaging.

Compared with the standard RF shapes, the new AI-generated pulses show superior performance for bandwidth, robustness, and tolerance to field imperfections. As a benchmark, we constructed a spin entanglement operator for the weakly coupled two-spin-1/2 system of 13CHCl3, achieving high-fidelity transformations under multiple inhomogeneity sources. We then generated band-selective and ultra-broadband RF pulses typical of biomolecular NMR spectroscopy. When implemented in multipulse NMR experiments, the AI-generated pulses significantly increased the sensitivity of medium-size and large protein spectra relative to standard pulse sequences. Finally, we applied the new pulses to typical imaging experiments, showing a remarkable tolerance to changes in the RF field. These AI-generated RF pulses can be directly implemented in quantum information, NMR spectroscopy of biomolecules, magnetic resonance imaging techniques for in vivo and materials sciences.","author":[{"family":"Subrahmanian","given":"Manu"},{"family":"Pavuluri","given":"Kowsalyadevi"},{"family":"Olivieri","given":"Cristina"},{"family":"Veglia","given":"Gianluigi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1093/pnasnexus/pgac133","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1093/pnasnexus/pgac133","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3026579205","type":"article-journal","title":"Feasibility assessment for practical continuous variable quantum key distribution over the satellite‐to‐Earth channel","abstract":"Currently, quantum key distribution (QKD) using continuous variable (CV) technology has only been demonstrated over short-range terrestrial links.

Moreover, it has gradually become the most widely used computational approach in the field of ML, thus achieving outstanding results on several complex cognitive tasks, matching or even beating those provided by human performance. One of the benefits of DL is the ability to learn massive amounts of data. The DL field has grown fast in the last few years and it has been extensively used to successfully address a wide range of traditional applications. More importantly, DL has outperformed well-known ML techniques in many domains, e.g., cybersecurity, natural language processing, bioinformatics, robotics and control, and medical information processing, among many others. Despite it has been contributed several works reviewing the State-of-the-Art on DL, all of them only tackled one aspect of the DL, which leads to an overall lack of knowledge about it. Therefore, in this contribution, we propose using a more holistic approach in order to provide a more suitable starting point from which to develop a full understanding of DL. Specifically, this review attempts to provide a more comprehensive survey of the most important aspects of DL and including those enhancements recently added to the field. In particular, this paper outlines the importance of DL, presents the types of DL techniques and networks. It then presents convolutional neural networks (CNNs) which the most utilized DL network type and describes the development of CNNs architectures together with their main features, e.g., starting with the AlexNet network and closing with the High-Resolution network (HR.Net). Finally, we further present the challenges and suggested solutions to help researchers understand the existing research gaps. It is followed by a list of the major DL applications. Computational tools including FPGA, GPU, and CPU are summarized along with a description of their influence on DL.

The theory is derived from a density functional (DFT) perturbation expansion of the electron density in fluctuation terms to various orders similar to the original density functional tight binding model. The term “eXtended” in their name (xTB) emphasizes the parameter availability for almost the entire periodic table of elements ( Z ≤ 86) and improvements of the underlying theory regarding, for example, the atomic orbital basis set, the level of multipole approximation and the treatment of the important electrostatic and dispersion interactions. A common feature of most members is their consistent parameterization on accurate gas phase theoretical reference data for geometries, vibrational frequencies and noncovalent interactions, which are the primary properties of interest in typical applications to systems composed of up to a few thousand atoms. Further specialized versions were developed for the description of electronic spectra and corresponding response properties. Besides a provided common theoretical background with some important implementation details in the efficient and free xtb program, various benchmarks for structural and thermochemical properties including (transition‐)metal systems are discussed. The review is completed by recent extensions of the model to the force‐field (FF) level as well as its application to solids under periodic boundary conditions. The general applicability together with the excellent cost‐accuracy ratio and the high robustness make the xTB family of methods very attractive for various fields of computer‐aided chemical research.

It is anticipated that this computational advantage of QC will help to solve many complex and computationally intractable problems in several application domains such as drug design, data science, clean energy, finance, industrial chemical development, secure communications, and quantum chemistry. In recent years, tremendous progress in both quantum hardware development and quantum software/algorithm has brought QC much closer to reality. Indeed, the demonstration of quantum supremacy marks a significant milestone in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era—the next logical step being the quantum advantage whereby quantum computers solve a real‐world problem much more efficiently than classical computing. As the quantum devices are expected to steadily scale up in the next few years, quantum decoherence and qubit interconnectivity are two of the major challenges to achieve quantum advantage in the NISQ era. QC is a highly topical and fast‐moving field of research with significant ongoing progress in all facets. A systematic review of the existing literature on QC will be invaluable to understand the state‐of‐the‐art of this emerging field and identify open challenges for the QC community to address in the coming years. This article presents a comprehensive review of QC literature and proposes taxonomy of QC. The proposed taxonomy is used to map various related studies to identify the research gaps. A detailed overview of quantum software tools and technologies, post‐quantum cryptography, and quantum computer hardware development captures the current state‐of‐the‐art in the respective areas. The article identifies and highlights various open challenges and promising future directions for research and innovation in QC.","author":[{"family":"Gill","given":"Sukhpal"},{"family":"Kumar","given":"Adarsh"},{"family":"Singh","given":"Harvinder"},{"family":"Singh","given":"Manmeet"},{"family":"Kaur","given":"Kamalpreet"},{"family":"Usman","given":"Muhammad"},{"family":"Buyya","given":"Rajkumar"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021]]},"DOI":"10.1002/spe.3039","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.3039","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3014405689","type":"article-journal","title":"Perspectives of quantum annealing: methods and implementations","abstract":"Quantum annealing is a computing paradigm that has the ambitious goal of efficiently solving large-scale combinatorial optimization problems of practical importance.

Except for very simple cases where analytical solutions exist, the use of numerical methods is required to find approximate solutions. However, for many problems of practical interest, the computational cost of classical numerical solvers running on classical, that is, silicon-based computer hardware, becomes prohibitive. Quantum computing, though still in its infancy, holds the promise of enabling a new generation of algorithms that can execute the most cost-demanding parts of PDE solvers up to exponentially faster than classical methods, at least theoretically. Also, increasing research and availability of quantum computing hardware spurs the hope of scientists and engineers to start using quantum computers for solving PDE problems much faster than classically possible. This work reviews the contributions that deal with the application of quantum algorithms to solve PDEs in structural mechanics. The aim is not only to discuss the theoretical possibility and extent of advantage for a given PDE, boundary conditions and input/output to the solver, but also to examine the hardware requirements of the methods proposed in literature.","author":[{"family":"Balducci","given":"Giorgio"},{"family":"Chen","given":"Boyang"},{"family":"Möller","given":"Matthias"},{"family":"Gerritsma","given":"Marc"},{"family":"Breuker","given":"Roeland"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.3389/fmech.2022.914241","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmech.2022.914241","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3193988690","type":"article-journal","title":"Software for the frontiers of quantum chemistry: An overview of developments in the Q-Chem 5 package","abstract":"This article summarizes technical advances contained in the fifth major release of the Q-Chem quantum chemistry program package, covering developments since 2015.

Unfortunately, most of the well-known quantum algorithms are too demanding to be run on currently available quantum devices. Moreover, even the state-of-the-art algorithms developed for the NISQ era often suffer from high space complexity requirements for particular problem classes. In this paper, we show that it is possible to greatly reduce the number of qubits needed for the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP), a paradigmatic optimization task, at the cost of having deeper variational circuits. While the focus is on this particular problem, we claim that the approach can be generalized for other problems where the standard bit-encoding is highly inefficient. Finally, we also propose encoding schemes which smoothly interpolate between the qubit-efficient and the circuit depth-efficient models. All the proposed encodings have the same volume up to polylogarithmic factors and remain efficient to implement within the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm framework.","author":[{"family":"Glos","given":"Adam"},{"family":"Krawiec","given":"Aleksandra"},{"family":"Zimborás","given":"Zoltán"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41534-022-00546-y","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-022-00546-y","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W3087823057","type":"article-journal","title":"The security implications of quantum cryptography and quantum computing","abstract":"Classical cryptography relies on the assumption that nobody can solve a certain difficult mathematical problem in a realistic amount of time or rely on information theory arguments.

A quantum computing-based security algorithm springs quite a lot of symmetrical approaches and procedures to ensure optimum software retreat. The accurate assessment of software’s durability and security is a dynamic aspect in assessing, administrating, and controlling security for strengthening the features of security. This paper essentially emphasises the demarcation and depiction of quantum computing from a software security perspective. At present, different symmetrical-based cryptography approaches or algorithms are being used to protect different government and non-government sectors, such as banks, healthcare sectors, defense, transport, automobiles, navigators, weather forecasting, etc., to ensure software durability and security. However, many crypto schemes are likely to collapse when a large qubit-based quantum computer is developed. In such a scenario, it is necessary to pay attention to the security alternatives based on quantum computing. Presently, the different factors of software durability are usability, dependability, trustworthiness, and human trust. In this study, we have also classified the durability level in the second stage. The intention of the evaluation of the impact on security over quantum duration is to estimate and assess the security durability of software. In this research investigation, we have followed the symmetrical hybrid technique of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS).

However, as the problem size grows, quantum logic errors and the effect of barren plateaus overwhelm the quality of the results. There is now a clear focus on strategies that require fewer quantum circuit steps and are robust to device errors. Here we present an approach in which problem complexity is transferred to dynamic quantities computed on the quantum processor – Hamiltonian moments, ⟨Hn⟩ . From these quantum computed moments, an estimate of the ground-state energy can be obtained using the ``infimum'' theorem from Lanczos cumulant expansions which manifestly corrects the associated variational calculation. With higher order effects in Hilbert space generated via the moments, the burden on the trial-state quantum circuit depth is eased. The method is introduced and demonstrated on 2D quantum magnetism models on lattices up to 5×5 (25 qubits) implemented on IBM Quantum superconducting qubit devices. Moments were quantum computed to fourth order with respect to a parameterised antiferromagnetic trial-state. A comprehensive comparison with benchmark variational calculations was performed, including over an ensemble of random coupling instances. The results showed that the infimum estimate consistently outperformed the benchmark variational approach for the same trial-state. These initial investigations suggest that the quantum computed moments approach has a high degree of stability against trial-state variation, quantum gate errors and shot noise, all of which bodes well for further investigation and applications of the approach.","author":[{"family":"Vallury","given":"Harish"},{"family":"Jones","given":"Michael"},{"family":"Hill","given":"Charles"},{"family":"Hollenberg","given":"Lloyd"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"DOI":"10.22331/q-2020-12-15-373","URL":"https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2020-12-15-373","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4313534976","type":"article-journal","title":"Accelerating HPC With Quantum Computing: It Is a Software Challenge Too","abstract":"With quantum computing (QC) maturing, high-performance computing (HPC) centers are already preparing to host early-phase production versions of such systems.

Although it lies outside the capabilities of traditional computing, the recent developments in the field of quantum computing can be utilised to break RSA Encryption. The approach involves mapping of qubits used in a quantum machine to a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) and then using them to check for factors. This consists of the use of a Multiplicative Boolean circuit in which the qubits utilised by the machine replaces the variables. These Qubits are then mapped as per the gates involved, and the factorization problem is thus transformed into a CSP problem, through which, the factors can be easily found.

This study develops and evaluates a diagnostic-first hybrid quantum-classical framework for right-censored survival analysis. Methods : We introduce KTA-Survival (Kernel-Target Alignment for survival), a pre-training feasibility diagnostic that adapts kernel-target alignment to censored outcomes by comparing a quantum fidelity kernel with a concordance-based survival target kernel. We then propose QResid-Boost (Quantum Residual Boosting), a Cox-LASSO-anchored residual framework in which a variational quantum circuit is trained on martingale residuals through a Quantum-Skip-Residual architecture. A sigmoid-bounded scalar gate, &#x3b1;, constrains the quantum contribution and allows the model to reduce to the classical baseline when the residual signal is uninformative. The framework was evaluated on GBSG2 (German Breast Cancer Study Group 2; n = 686), FLChain (serum free light chain; n = 1500), WHAS500 (Worcester Heart Attack Study; n = 500), and a synthetic Weibull positive-control dataset containing high-frequency periodic interactions. Results : On the GBSG2 hold-out partition, Random Survival Forest achieved the highest concordance (C = 0.7188), followed by the Stacking ensemble (C = 0.7128), Cox-LASSO (C = 0.7019), and QResid-Boost (C = 0.7016). The leading classical and hybrid models did not differ significantly by paired bootstrap testing, whereas all outperformed the pure quantum variants. In the synthetic positive-control cohort, QResid-Boost improved over Cox-LASSO by &#x394;C = +0.0397, demonstrating that the quantum residual can add value when nonlinear periodic structure remains after the linear baseline. KTA-Survival yielded positive &#x394;KTA values across the evaluated datasets and correctly identified the regime in which the quantum residual produced its largest measurable gain. Conclusions : The proposed diagnostic-first framework reframes quantum survival modelling as a gated enrichment strategy rather than an unconstrained replacement for classical risk models. In low-dimensional clinical cohorts where linear structure already explains most prognostic signal, the framework behaves conservatively; when residual nonlinear structure is present, it can provide measurable improvement without uncontrolled model drift.","author":[{"family":"Sa","given":"Alzakari"},{"family":"Ak","given":"Alkhalifa"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.3390/jcm15145387","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jcm15145387","source":"pubmed"},{"id":"doi:10.1038/s41598-025-32572-z","type":"article-journal","title":"Optimal compilation strategies for QFT circuits in neutral-atom quantum computing.","abstract":"Neutral-atom quantum computing (NAQC) offers distinct advantages such as dynamic qubit reconfigurability, long coherence times, and high gate fidelities, making it a promising platform for scalable quantum computing.

We show that, whenever the outputs of these experiments pass the now-standard Linear Cross-Entropy Benchmark (LXEB), under plausible hardness assumptions they necessarily contain Ω(n) min-entropy, where n is the number of qubits. To achieve a net gain in randomness, we use a small random seed to produce pseudorandom challenge circuits. In response to the challenge circuits, the quantum computer generates output strings that, after verification, can then be fed into a randomness extractor to produce certified nearly-uniform bits—thereby “bootstrapping” from pseudorandomness to genuine randomness. We prove our protocol sound in two senses: (i) under a hardness assumption called Long List Quantum Supremacy Verification, which we justify in the random oracle model, and (ii) unconditionally in the random oracle model against an eavesdropper who could share arbitrary entanglement with the device. (Note that our protocol’s output is unpredictable even to a computationally unbounded adversary who can see the random oracle.) Currently, the central drawback of our protocol is the exponential cost of verification, which in practice will limit its implementation to at most n∼ 60 qubits, a regime where attacks are expensive but not impossible. Modulo that drawback, our protocol appears to be the only practical application of quantum computing that both requires a QC and is physically realizable today.","author":[{"family":"Aaronson","given":"Scott"},{"family":"Hung","given":"Shih‐han"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1145/3564246.3585145","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3564246.3585145","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.3390/medsci12040067","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Computing in Medicine.","abstract":"Quantum computing (QC) represents a paradigm shift in computational power, offering unique capabilities for addressing complex problems that are infeasible for classical computers.

We achieve the latter via a pseudo-adiabatic sweep from a parameter regime whose ground state can be easily prepared. We estimate that our algorithm has a polynomial runtime for systems where the spectral gap decreases at most polynomially in system size, and is faster than the adiabatic algorithm for a large range of settings.

An abstract simplicial complex, in principle, can be built from data points, and by using tools from homology, topological features could be identified. Given a simplex, an important feature is called the Betti numbers, which roughly count the number of `holes' in different dimensions. Calculating Betti numbers exactly can be &amp;#x0023; P-hard, and approximating them can be NP-hard, which rules out the possibility of any generic efficient algorithms and unconditional exponential quantum speedup. Here, we explore the specific setting of a triangulated manifold. In contrast to most known methods to estimate Betti numbers, which rely on homology, we exploit the `dual' approach, namely, cohomology, combining the insight of the Hodge theory and de Rham cohomology. Our proposed algorithm can calculate its r -th normalized Betti number &amp;#x03B2; r / | S r | up to some additive error &amp;#x03F5; with running time O ( log &amp;#x2061; ( | S r K | | S r + 1 K | ) &amp;#x03F5; 2 log &amp;#x2061; ( log &amp;#x2061; | S r K | ) ( r log &amp;#x2061; | S r K | ) ) , where | S r | is the number of r -simplexes in the given complex.

Moreover, we gain more control over the coefficients by pairing the Fourier harmonics in different orders. When the paired Fourier components share a frequency, the coefficients are independent of time, producing tunable states that can serve as phase-defined memory. Pairing distinct harmonics introduces a beat frequency that drives deterministic precession of the Bloch vector, realizing single&#x2011;bit rotations (e.g., Pauli&#x2011;X and Hadamard analogues) without the need of additional external input, with time as the gate clock. By splitting the spectrum into blocks, a single resonator can host several elastic bits at once.

Summary This framework unifies macro-scale 4D state-information manifold navigation, Dual-Space Topological Optimization (DSTO), Topo-Information Dynamics, and Algorithmic Metabolism. It proves that complex systems—whether artificial intelligence clusters, distributed edge networks, or biological livestock herds—cannot operate at unceasing capacity without structural degradation. By introducing Radix 00–32 systemic dormancy, quantum rest-frame vacuum regularization, and dynamic context-entropy pruning, the architecture transitions from a brute-force processor into a self-regulating cyber-biological organism. It eliminates memory bloat, bypasses relaxation lags ($\\tau \\to 0$), and converts thermal stress into functional evolutionary momentum. 2. Key Governing Formulas A.

What Is Genuinely New & What Science Overlooks The Illusion of Server Immortality: Mainstream computer science treats data centers and algorithms as immortal utilities that can run at 100% capacity indefinitely. Science overlooks the thermodynamic necessity of computational \"sleep\" (dormancy) to clear entropy and prevent parameter drift. Zero-Waste Thermal Cycling: Rather than viewing heat and resistance as pure waste or cooling problems, the framework converts thermal jitter and computing \"sludge\" into a functional clocking and phase-reset mechanism. Vacuum-Cached Rest States: Proves that powering down does not incur a cold-start penalty when phase-space vacuum caches ($\\Omega_{\\text{neg}}$) retain structural state integrity. 5. Practical Applications Large-Scale AI & LLM Infrastructure: Eliminating hallucination loops and token degradation via scheduled Radix 00 metabolic rest cycles.

Summary This framework unifies macro-scale 4D state-information manifold navigation, Dual-Space Topological Optimization (DSTO), Topo-Information Dynamics, and Algorithmic Metabolism. It proves that complex systems—whether artificial intelligence clusters, distributed edge networks, or biological livestock herds—cannot operate at unceasing capacity without structural degradation. By introducing Radix 00–32 systemic dormancy, quantum rest-frame vacuum regularization, and dynamic context-entropy pruning, the architecture transitions from a brute-force processor into a self-regulating cyber-biological organism. It eliminates memory bloat, bypasses relaxation lags ($\\tau \\to 0$), and converts thermal stress into functional evolutionary momentum. 2. Key Governing Formulas A. The Metabolic Energy-Dissipation Coupling Vector $$\\mathbf{\\Lambda}_{\\text{met}}(t) = \\int_{0}^{t} \\left[ \\nabla \\cdot \\mathbf{v}_{\\text{prep}}(s) \\right] \\cdot \\exp\\left( -\\frac{S_{\\text{context}}(s)}{k_B T_{\\text{sys}}} \\right) ds + \\mathbf{J}_{\\text{sing}}(t)$$ Function: Couples pre-conditioning vectors with context entropy and singularity states to trigger autonomous metabolic rest-cycles when $\\Lambda_{\\text{met}} \\ge 1.618$.

What Is Genuinely New & What Science Overlooks The Illusion of Server Immortality: Mainstream computer science treats data centers and algorithms as immortal utilities that can run at 100% capacity indefinitely. Science overlooks the thermodynamic necessity of computational \"sleep\" (dormancy) to clear entropy and prevent parameter drift. Zero-Waste Thermal Cycling: Rather than viewing heat and resistance as pure waste or cooling problems, the framework converts thermal jitter and computing \"sludge\" into a functional clocking and phase-reset mechanism. Vacuum-Cached Rest States: Proves that powering down does not incur a cold-start penalty when phase-space vacuum caches ($\\Omega_{\\text{neg}}$) retain structural state integrity. 5.

It is thus imperative to develop resources and best-practices for quantum computing instruction accessible to students at all levels. In this paper, we describe the development and results of our Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) \"Introduction to Quantum Computing for Everyone.\" This course presents an introduction to quantum computing with few technical prerequisites. In the first half of the course, quantum computing concepts are introduced with a unique, purely visual representation, allowing students to develop conceptual understanding without the burden of learning new mathematical notation. In the second half, students are taught the formal notation for concepts and objects already introduced, reinforcing student understanding of these concepts and providing an applicable context for the technical material.

Traditionally, this sensor data is transferred and processed at the cloud, and the control signals are sent back to the relevant actuators, as part of the IoT applications. This cloud‐centric IoT model, resulted in increased latencies and network load, and compromised privacy. To address these problems, Fog Computing was coined by Cisco in 2012, a decade ago, which utilizes proximal computational resources for processing the sensor data. Ever since its proposal, fog computing has attracted significant attention and the research fraternity focused at addressing different challenges such as fog frameworks, simulators, resource management, placement strategies, quality of service aspects, fog economics and so forth. However, after a decade of research, we still do not see large‐scale deployments of public/private fog networks, which can be utilized in realizing interesting IoT applications. In the literature, we only see pilot case studies and small‐scale testbeds, and utilization of simulators for demonstrating scale of the specified models addressing the respective technical challenges. There are several reasons for this, and most importantly, fog computing did not present a clear business case for the companies and participating individuals yet. This article summarizes the technical, non‐functional, and economic challenges, which have been posing hurdles in adopting fog computing, by consolidating them across different clusters. The article also summarizes the relevant academic and industrial contributions in addressing these challenges and provides future research directions in realizing real‐time fog computing applications, also considering the emerging trends such as federated learning and quantum computing.","author":[{"family":"Srirama","given":"Satish"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1002/spe.3243","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/spe.3243","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.1088/2058-9565/add9c2","type":"article-journal","title":"AI and quantum computing ethics- same but different?

While there is awareness of the potential power and complexity of quantum computers, there has been relatively little attention on the social impacts and ethical implications of this technology. In grappling with the social impacts of quantum computing, some stakeholders have turned to applied ethics, specifically (classical) computer and Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics, for guidance. While computer and AI ethics are useful starting points for evaluating the ethical issues posed by quantum computing, uncritically applying existing sets of ethical principles risks overlooking how quantum computing differs from these technologies. We argue that borrowing of ethical principles and guidelines from AI and computing is inappropriate for several reasons: (1) quantum computing, classical computing, and AI are different technologies with significant material differences; (2) unlike AI and classical computers which have become established, quantum computing is an emerging technology, which has implications on the levels of accessibility and immediate impact in society; and (3) there are significant differences in the way AI and quantum computing have been developed and by whom. We also briefly summarise some of the unique risks and soci et al impacts posed by quantum computing. We posit that these reasons support the argument for a new sub-field of quantum computing ethics, which would allow a relevant scholarship to develop and provide guidance as quantum computing technology continues to mature.","author":[{"family":"Coates","given":"R"},{"family":"Douglas","given":"D"},{"family":"Per","given":"M"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1088/2058-9565/add9c2","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1088/2058-9565/add9c2","source":"crossref"},{"id":"doi:10.1063/5.0252348","type":"article-journal","title":"Optimal multicore quantum computing with few interconnects","abstract":"Noisy intermediate-scale quantum processors have produced a quantum computation revolution in recent times.

On the other hand, the majorization criterion efficiently classifies quantum circuits in terms of their complexity, which can be directly related to their ability of performing non-classically simulatable computations. In this paper, we use this criterion to study the complexity behavior of a paradigmatic universal family of random circuits distributed into several cores with different architectures. We find that the optimal complexity is reached with few interconnects, giving further hope to actual implementations in available devices at present. A universal behavior is found irrespective of the architecture and (approximately) the core size.

While cysteine and cysteine-containing peptides are commonly used as chiral agents in the synthesis of such nanoparticles, the use of alternative ligands remains limited. In this study, we introduce penicillamine as a new chiral agent in the seed-mediated growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The presence of L- or D-penicillamine induces chirality during nanoparticle growth, and its extent is examined at different growth stages using SEM. Structural evidence for enantioselective growth is also provided with high-resolution STEM. Circular dichroism spectroscopy of particle suspensions and dark-field scattering measurements at the single-particle level further suggest that the chirality is encoded in the nanoparticle morphology rather than being limited to surface-bound ligands. Importantly, dark-field scattering indicates that the AuNPs' chiral morphology is also preserved after drying on an Au electrode. To evaluate whether this morphological chirality translates into functional enantioselectivity, electrochemical measurements are performed using L- and D-cysteine as analytes on electrodes modified with chiral AuNPs. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy show that electrodes modified with L-penicillamine-induced chiral AuNPs exhibit higher current densities ( ca . 36%) and lower charge-transfer resistance toward L-cysteine oxidation. Similarly, D-penicillamine-induced chiral AuNPs show higher current densities for D-cysteine oxidation. This enantioselective interaction between enantio-matched pairs demonstrates that the encoded chirality influences molecular recognition processes at the electrode interface. Overall, this study establishes penicillamine-induced chiral AuNPs as versatile, label-free platforms for enantioselective electrochemical sensing.","author":[{"family":"Mö","given":"Cicek"},{"family":"Wg","given":"Van"},{"family":"Os","given":"Ojambati"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.1039/d6nr01490a","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d6nr01490a","source":"pubmed"},{"id":"doi:10.1103/vp79-8t1l","type":"article-journal","title":"Connection between Memory Performance and Optical Absorption in Quantum Reservoir Computing.","abstract":"Quantum reservoir computing (QRC) offers a promising paradigm for harnessing quantum systems for machine learning tasks, especially in the era of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

To address this limitation, variational quantum algorithms have been actively developed, enabling practical quantum computing in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. Among them, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) stands out as a leading approach for solving problems in quantum chemistry, many-body physics, and even integer factorization. The VQE algorithm can be implemented on various quantum hardware platforms, including photonic systems, quantum dots, trapped ions, neutral atoms, and superconducting circuits. In particular, photonic platforms offer several advantages: they operate at room temperature, exhibit low decoherence, and support multiple degrees of freedom, making them suitable for scalable, high-dimensional quantum computation. Here we present methodologies for realizing VQE on photonic systems, highlighting their potential for practical quantum computing. We first provide a theoretical overview of the VQE framework, focusing on the procedure for variationally estimating ground state energies.

Our first phase of experiments compares the QNN and QLSTM models using ten distinct quantum circuit designs (ans&#xe4;tze A1-A10). We systematically compare trade-offs between classification performance, model complexity, training time, and energy consumption. The results indicate that simpler QNN ans&#xe4;tze can achieve accuracy comparable to more complex ones while consuming significantly less energy and converging faster. In particular, QNN with ansatz A4 provided the optimal balance between performance and energy efficiency, consistently outperforming QLSTM across most metrics. A detailed energy breakdown confirmed GPU usage as the dominant source of power consumption, underscoring the importance of circuit-efficient quantum design. To contextualize QML's viability, we conducted a second phase of experiments comparing quantum models with three benchmark classical machine learning models: Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and CatBoost. We find that the classical models demonstrated faster training times and lower energy consumption, highlighting and contrasting the maturity of algorithmic development that classical ML algorithms have already seen.

In this work, we develop an observable-based approach to quantum DP tailored to expectation-value estimation from quantum measurements. We introduce a neighboring relation defined directly in terms of observable expectation values and give general private mechanisms for broad measurement protocols, including classical shadows and eigenbasis measurements.

Complementing these positive results for private measurements, we establish limitations for differentially private mechanisms that release quantum states.

Reliable verification techniques are of paramount importance for these technologies, given their high implementation cost and critical contexts of application. Extensions of process calculi such as CCS and π -calculus have been proposed in the literature, together with various notions of behavioural equivalence. However, their standard probabilistic models turn out to introduce some non-deterministic capabilities that are not aligned with the observational properties of physical quantum systems, leading to bisimilarity notions that distinguish processes that should be physically equivalent. Nonetheless, we argue that non-deterministic features are fundamental to account for inputs, environments and adversarial behaviour. To address this issue, we propose lqCCS, a process calculus that integrates concurrency, non-determinism and quantum capabilities. The calculus is enriched with a linear type system that enforces the no-cloning principle and resolves ambiguities in the visibility of ancillary qubits. We introduce a novel semantics in terms of distributions, where explicit physically admissible schedulers constrain probabilistic composition and forbid ill-defined non-deterministic moves, while preserving the expressivity needed to model real-world protocols. We investigate a scheduled version of saturated bisimilarity, deeming two lqCCS processes behaviourally equivalent if no observer can tell them apart. The adequacy of the approach is verified by lifting a known result from quantum mechanics to lqCCS, i.e. that equivalent processes acting on indistinguishable mixtures of quantum states are correctly recognized as bisimilar. Finally, we give an alternative semantics and a labelled bisimilarity based on a quantum generalization of probability distributions. This provides an equivalent characterization of our behavioural equivalence that is a congruence with respect to the parallel operator, enabling compositional reasoning without the need to explicitly check all possible contexts. We describe a rich class of lqCCS processes for which equivalence is decidable using standard techniques, and we analyse real-world quantum communication protocols.","author":[{"family":"Ceragioli","given":"Lorenzo"},{"family":"Gadducci","given":"Fabio"},{"family":"Lomurno","given":"Giuseppe"},{"family":"Tedeschi","given":"Gabriele"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.1145/3830909","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3830909","source":"crossref"},{"id":"oa:W4405288812","type":"article-journal","title":"Computer-aided drug discovery: From traditional simulation methods to language models and quantum computing","abstract":"Drug discovery is a central topic at the intersection of structural biology, biochemistry, and medicine, involving significant challenges like high cost (usually more than billions of dollars), low success rates (typically <10%), and extremely long cycles (often over a decade).

Theoretically exact quantum algorithms for chemistry have been proposed (e.g., quantum phase estimation), but the limited capabilities of current noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices motivated the development of less demanding hybrid algorithms. In this context, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm was successfully introduced as an effective method to compute the ground-state energies of small molecules. This study investigates the folded spectrum (FS) method as an extension of the VQE algorithm for the computation of molecular excited states. It provides the possibility of directly computing excited states around a selected target energy using the same or quantum circuit as for the ground-state calculation. Inspired by the variance-based methods from the quantum Monte Carlo literature, the FS method minimizes the energy variance, thus, in principle, requiring a computationally expensive squared Hamiltonian to be applied. We alleviate this potentially poor scaling by employing a Pauli grouping procedure to identify sets of commuting Pauli strings that can be evaluated simultaneously. This allows for a significant reduction in the computational cost. We applied the FS-VQE method to small molecules (H 2, LiH), obtaining all electronic excited states with chemical accuracy on ideal quantum simulators. Furthermore, we explore the application of quantum error mitigation techniques, demonstrating improved energy accuracy on noisy simulators compared with simulations without mitigation.","author":[{"family":"Tazi","given":"Lila"},{"family":"Thom","given":"Alex"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1021/acs.jctc.3c01378","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jctc.3c01378","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4394603650","type":"article-journal","title":"Post-quantum cryptography and the quantum future of cybersecurity","abstract":"We review the current status of efforts to develop and deploy post-quantum cryptography on the Internet.

We particularly focus on Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities and related distributions. We also discuss techniques to experimentally access a quasiprobability distribution, ranging from the weak two-point measurement scheme, to a Ramsey-like interferometric scheme and procedures assisted by an external detector. Once defined the fundamental concepts following the standpoint of joint measurability in quantum mechanics, we illustrate the use of quasiprobabilities in quantum thermodynamics to describe the quantum statistics of work and heat, and to explain anomalies in the energy exchanges entailed by a given thermodynamic transformation. On the one hand, in work protocols, we show how absorbed energy can be converted to extractable work and vice versa due to Hamiltonian incompatibility at distinct times. On the other hand, in exchange processes between two quantum systems initially at different temperatures, we explain how quantum correlations in their initial state may induce cold-to-hot energy exchanges, which are unnatural between any pair of equilibrium nondriven systems. We conclude the tutorial by giving simple examples where quasiprobabilities are applied to many-body systems: scrambling of quantum information, sensitivity to local perturbations, and quantum work statistics in the quenched dynamics of models that can be mapped onto systems of free fermions, for instance, the Ising model with a transverse field.

However, in the process of practical application, each blockchain is a small independent ecosystem, with all transactions and operations limited to the chain, resulting in a large number of mutually heterogeneous to independent blockchains. It presents challenges for cross-chain interactions, cross-organization data sharing, and cross-blockchain expansion, and hinders the wider application of blockchain technology. In addition, the traditional digital signature method based on elliptic curve cipher faces the threat of being cracked by quantum computing attacks. To solve the aforementioned problems, this paper proposed a blockchain smart contract technique based on quantum computing attack resistance(BSCTQCAT). The technique first introduces the digital signature of the lattice cipher into the blockchain to resist the quantum search algorithm attack. Then, based on the smart contract authentication scheme, the nodes on multiple heterogeneous chains are organized into an identity agent layer P2P network, through which transactions on the chain will establish a credible identity management and message authentication mechanism between different chains, solving the current problem that each chain is difficult to communicate with each other. In this paper, the performance of the algorithm is evaluated by simulating the Bitcoin transaction scenario and analyzing the experimental data.","author":[{"family":"Zheng","given":"Xinhao"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1371/journal.pone.0302325","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0302325","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4394579347","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum skyrmion Hall effect","abstract":"We consider the problem of magnetic charges in (2+1) dimensions for a torus geometry in real space, subjected to an inverted Lorentz force due to an external electric field applied normal to the surface of the torus.

We identify a lattice model realizing this physics in the absence of an external electric field. Based on this, we identify a generalization of the MQHE to be quantized transport of magnetic skyrmions, the quantum skyrmion Hall effect (QSkHE), with a U(1) easy-plane anisotropy/spin rotation symmetry of magnetic skyrmions and effective conservation of charge associated with magnetic skyrmions yielding incompressibility, provided a hierarchy of energy scales is respected. As the lattice model may be characterized both by a total Chern number and the topological invariant Q , we furthermore outline a possible field theory for electric charges, magnetic charges, and correlations between magnetic and electric charges approximated as composite particles, on a two-torus, to handle the scenario of intermediate-strength correlations between electric and magnetic charges modeled as composite particles.

As a result, proving QMA-hardness of approximation for ground state energy estimation has remained elusive. Recently, it was shown [Bittel, Gharibian, Kliesch, CCC 2023] that a natural problem involving variational quantum circuits is QCMA-hard to approximate within ratio N^(1-eps) for any eps &gt; 0 and N the input size. Unfortunately, this problem was not related to quantum CSPs, leaving the question of hardness of approximation for quantum CSPs open. In this work, we show that if instead of focusing on ground state energies, one considers computing properties of the ground space, QCMA-hardness of computing ground space properties can be shown. In particular, we show that it is (1) QCMA-complete within ratio N^(1-eps) to approximate the Ground State Connectivity problem (GSCON), and (2) QCMA-hard within the same ratio to estimate the amount of entanglement of a local Hamiltonian's ground state, denoted Ground State Entanglement (GSE). As a bonus, a simplification of our construction yields NP-completeness of approximation for a natural k-SAT reconfiguration problem, to be contrasted with the recent PCP-based PSPACE hardness of approximation results for a different definition of k-SAT reconfiguration [Karthik C.S. and Manurangsi, 2023, and Hirahara, Ohsaka, STOC 2024].","author":[{"family":"Gharibian","given":"Sevag"},{"family":"Hecht","given":"Carsten"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2411.04874","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2411.04874","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.70593/978-93-7185-159-6","type":"article-journal","title":"Basics of Quantum Computing","abstract":"This book is intended to serve as an approachable starting point for scholars, students, and enthusiasts who are keen to learn more about this cutting-edge field.

Despite promising advances and extensive research in hard- and software developments, currently available quantum systems are still largely limited in their capability. In line with this, practical applications in quantitative finance are still in their infancy. This paper analyses requirements and concrete approaches for the application to risk management in a financial institution. On the examples of Value-at-Risk for market risk and Potential Future Exposure for counterparty credit risk, the main contribution lies in going beyond textbook illustrations and instead exploring must-have model features and their quantum implementations. While conceptual solutions and small-scale circuits are feasible at this stage, the leap needed for real-life applications is still significant. In order to build a usable risk measurement system, the hardware capacity—measured in number of qubits—would need to increase by several magnitudes from their current value of about $$10^2$$ 10 2 . Quantum noise poses an additional challenge, and research into its control and mitigation would need to advance in order to render risk measurement applications deployable in practice.

Firstly, we show a separation between constant-depth quantum circuits with quantum advice \\(\\mathsf {QNC}^0/\\mathsf {qpoly} \\) , and \\(\\mathsf {AC}^0[p] \\) , which is the class of classical constant-depth circuits with unbounded-fan in and \\(\\mathsf {MOD}_{p} \\) gates.

Many quantum machine learning techniques have been developed for solving classification problems, such as distinguishing between phases of matter or quantum processes. Similarly, one can consider a more general problem of regression, when the aim is to predict continuous labels quantifying properties of quantum states, such as purity or entanglement. In this work, we propose a method for predicting such properties. The method is based on the notion of parametrized quantum circuits, and it seeks to find an observable the expectation of which gives the prediction of the property of interest with a low variance. We numerically test our approach in learning to predict (i) the parameter of a parametrized channel given its output state, (ii) entanglement of two-qubit states, and (iii) the parameter of a parametrized Hamiltonian given its ground state. The results show that the proposed method is able to find observables such that they provide highly accurate predictions of the considered properties, and in some cases even saturate the Cramer-Rao bound, which characterizes the prediction error. We also compare our method with the Bayesian approach, and find that the latter prefers to minimize the prediction variance, having therefore a larger bias.","author":[{"family":"Kardashin","given":"Andrey"},{"family":"Balkybek","given":"Yerassyl"},{"family":"Palyulin","given":"Vladimir"},{"family":"Antipin","given":"Konstantin"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevresearch.7.013201","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.7.013201","source":"crossref"},{"id":"doi:10.1088/2058-9565/ae0eac","type":"article-journal","title":"Accelerating the drive towards energy-efficient generative AI with quantum computing algorithms","abstract":"Abstract Research and usage of artificial intelligence, particularly generative and large language models, have rapidly progressed over the last years.

While significant strides have been made in quantum error correction, many challenges persist, particularly in the realm of noise and scalability. Analogue quantum computing schemes, such as Analogue Hamiltonian Simulation and Quantum Annealing, offer a promising approach to address these limitations. By operating at a higher level of abstraction, these schemes can simplify the development of large-scale quantum algorithms. To fully harness the power of quantum computers, they must be seamlessly integrated with traditional high-performance computing (HPC) systems. While substantial research has focused on the integration of circuit-based quantum computers with HPC, the integration of analogue quantum computers remains relatively unexplored. This paper aims to bridge this gap by contributing in the following way: Comprehensive Survey: We conduct a comprehensive survey of existing quantum software tools with analogue capabilities. Readiness Assessment: We introduce a classification and rating system to assess the readiness of these tools for HPC integration. Gap Identification and Recommendations: We identify critical gaps in the landscape of analogue quantum programming models and propose actionable recommendations for future research and development.","author":[{"family":"Meller","given":"Mateusz"},{"family":"Szeremi","given":"Vendel"},{"family":"Brown","given":"Oliver"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.22331/q-2025-12-02-1927","URL":"https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-12-02-1927","source":"crossref"},{"id":"doi:10.1002/qute.202500248","type":"article-journal","title":"Efficient Quantum Chemistry Calculations on Noisy Quantum Hardware","abstract":"Abstract A hardware‐efficient optimization scheme is presented for quantum chemistry calculations, utilizing the Sampled Quantum Diagonalization (SQD) method. This algorithm, optimized SQD (SQDOpt), combines the classical Davidson method technique with added multi‐basis measurements to optimize a quantum Ansatz on hardware using a fixed number of measurements per optimization step. This addresses the key challenge associated with other quantum chemistry optimization protocols, namely Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), which must measure in hundreds to thousands of noncommuting Pauli terms to estimate energy on hardware, even for molecules with less than 20 qubits. Numerical results for various molecules, including hydrogen chains, water, and methane, demonstrate the efficacy of this method compared to classical and quantum variational approaches, and the performance on the ibm‐cleveland quantum hardware is confirmed, where instances are found where SQDOpt either matches or exceeds the solution quality of practical implementations of noiseless VQE. A runtime scaling indicates that SQDOpt on quantum hardware is competitive with classical state‐of‐the‐art methods, with a crossover point of 1.5 seconds/iteration for the SQDOpt on quantum hardware and classically simulated VQE with the 20‐qubit molecule. These findings suggest that the proposed SQDOpt framework offers a scalable and robust pathway for quantum chemistry simulations on noisy intermediate‐scale quantum (NISQ) devices.","author":[{"family":"Bauer","given":"Nora"},{"family":"Yeteraydeniz","given":"Kübra"},{"family":"Siopsis","given":"George"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.1002/qute.202500248","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/qute.202500248","source":"crossref"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20444654","type":"article-journal","title":"Variational quantum algorithm for anion exchange across an electrolyzer membrane","abstract":"Variational quantum algorithm for anion exchange across an electrolyzer membrane We present a variational quantum algorithm that solves the one-dimensional diffusion problem with a space-dependent diffusion constant $D(x)$.

As the number of atoms in a system increases, the capability of classical computers decreases. In the last few decades, quantum computing has been proposed as the answer to the problems faced while utilizing classical computers. Quantum computers, in theory, are not bound by the same limitations as classical systems, however, current hardware restrictions prevent them from simulating complex systems on their own. Several advancements must be made before quantum computers can study systems larger than just a few atoms. Quantum-DFT embedding alleviates these restrictions by combing both classical and quantum computing. Quantum-DFT embedding makes the process of studying larger systems less demanding by dividing these systems into smaller, more manageable subsystems. This dissertation aims at utilizing quantum-DFT embedding to gain insight on the stability and reactivity of gold nanoparticles. This work acts as a proof-of-concept study that quantum-DFT embedding can be applied to study large systems such as metal nanoparticles.","author":[{"family":"Pollard","given":"Nia"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.13021/mars/14766","URL":"https://doi.org/10.13021/mars/14766","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20392816","type":"article-journal","title":"QuantBlockchain/QSignAI: QSignAI v1.0.0 — Quantum-Randomness Identity Signatures for Real-Time AI Event Participation","abstract":"⚛️ QSignAI v1.0.0 — First Stable Release QSignAI is a production-deployed, open-source platform demonstrating a bidirectional relationship between AI and quantum science: Science for AI (quantum randomness strengthens identity) ↔ AI for Science (AI bots make quantum phenomena legible to general audiences).

In the limit of large reorganization energy, the theory predicts normal Marcus kinetics of \"electron-coupled ion transfer\" (ECIT). In the limit of large ion transfer energies, the theory predicts Butler-Volmer kinetics of \"ion-coupled electron transfer\" (ICET), where the charge transfer coefficient and exchange current are connected to microscopic properties of the electrode/electrolyte interface. In the ICET regime, the reductive and oxidative branches of Tafel's law are predicted to hold over a wide range of overpotentials, bounded by the ion-transfer energies for oxidation and reduction, respectively. The probability distribution of transferring electron energies in CIET smoothly interpolates between a shifted Gaussian distribution for ECIT (as in the Gerischer-Marcus theory of ET) to an asymmetric, fat-tailed Meixner distribution centered at the Fermi level for ICET. The latter may help interpret asymmetric line shapes in x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for metal surfaces in terms of shake-up relaxation of the ionized atom and its image polaron by ICET. In the limit of large overpotentials, the theory predicts a transition to inverted Marcus ECIT, leading to a universal reaction-limited current for metal electrodes, dominated by barrierless quantum transitions. Uniformly valid, closed-form asymptotic approximations are derived that smoothly transition between the limiting rate expressions for ICET and ECIT for metal electrodes, using simple but accurate mathematical functions. The theory is applied to lithium intercalation in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and found to provide a consistent description of the observed current dependence on overpotential, temperature and concentration. CIET theory thus provides a critical bridge between quantum electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering, which may find many other applications and extensions.","author":[{"family":"Bazant","given":"Martin"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1039/d3fd00108c","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1039/d3fd00108c","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4328122555","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum computing in India: Recent developments and future","abstract":"Quantum computing combines mathematics, quantum physics, and computer science to optimise, learn, and simulate chemical, physical, and biological systems. It offers the ability to solve problems in a unique method and to speed up solutions compared to standard procedures. This computing may solve issues with intractable inputs. With the capabilities of quantum computers and the availability of quantum development kits, quantum computing is expected to become ubiquitous, and the demand for trained people is expected to rise significantly. Quantum technologies are rapidly developing globally with substantial disruptive potential. Quantum technology is opening up new frontiers in computing, communications, and cyber security with widespread applications. The range of quantum technologies is expected to be one of the significant technology disruptions that will change the entire paradigm of computation, communication, and encryption. It is perceived that the countries that achieve an edge in this emerging field will have a more significant advantage in garnering multifold economic growth and dominant leadership roles. It is expected that lots of commercial applications will emerge from the developing theoretical constructs in this area. In India, there is a growing interest in quantum computing and communication with active participation from students, developers, industry, and academia, leading to many recent initiatives and developments. This article provides an overview of some of the recent developments of quantum computing in India and the future ahead. In its 2020 budget, the Indian government announced the National Mission on Quantum Technologies and Applications, which will be run by the Department of Science and Technology with a budget of 80 billion INR over five years [1]. Among the next-generation technologies that will be pushed by this mission are quantum computers and computing, quantum communication, quantum key distribution, cryptanalysis, quantum devices, quantum sensing, quantum materials, quantum clocks, and so on. The mission will focus on basic science, technology development, building up human and infrastructure resources, innovation, and new businesses to solve problems that are important to the country. By putting the mission into action, India would be able to develop and use quantum computers, secure communications through fibre and free space, quantum encryption and cryptanalysis, and other related technologies. It would also be able to deal with national and regional problems that are unique to India. International Business Machines (IBM) and the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IIT-Madras) joined forces in September 2022 to help India learn more about quantum computing and accelerate research [2]. With this partnership, IIT Madras becomes one of the more than 180 members of the IBM Quantum Network around the world. IIT Madras is also the \"first Indian institution\" to join the global community of Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, academic institutions, and research labs working with IBM quantum technology to improve quantum computing and find business uses for it. As a member of the IBM Quantum Network, IIT Madras will have cloud-based access to IBM's most advanced quantum computing systems and IBM's quantum expertise. This will allow to look into real-world applications and see how this technology can help business and society in a wide range of ways. International Business Machines has also taken a number of steps to promote quantum computing in India and make it more well-known. IBM has made Qiskit, an open-source software development kit for the quantum developer community. The textbook \"Qiskit\" is available in Tamil, Bengali, and Hindi, and students in India accessed it more than 30,000 times in 2021 alone.

To overcome this issue, high-rate quantum codes, such as quantum low-density parity-check codes, have been studied over the past decade. In this case, however, it is difficult to perform logical gates in parallel while maintaining low overheads. Here, we propose concatenated high-rate small-size quantum error-detecting codes as a family of high-rate quantum codes. Their simple structure allows for a geometrical interpretation using hypercubes corresponding to logical qubits. We thus call them many-hypercube codes. They can realize both high rates, e.g., 30% (64 logical qubits are encoded into 216 physical ones), and parallelizability of logical gates. Developing dedicated decoder and encoders, we achieve high error thresholds even in a circuit-level noise model. Thus, the many-hypercube codes will pave the way to high-performance fault-tolerant quantum computing.","author":[{"family":"Goto","given":"Hayato"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1126/sciadv.adp6388","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adp6388","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4382539924","type":"article-journal","title":"Multidimensional Fourier series with quantum circuits","abstract":"Quantum machine learning is the field that aims to integrate machine learning with quantum computation. In recent years, the field has emerged as an active research area with the potential to bring new insights to classical machine learning problems. One of the challenges in the field is to explore the expressibility of parametrized quantum circuits and their ability to be universal function approximators, as classical neural networks are. Recent works have shown that, with a quantum supervised learning model, we can fit any one-dimensional Fourier series, proving their universality. However, models for multidimensional functions have not been explored in the same level of detail. In this work, we study the expressibility of various types of circuit Ans\\\"atze that generate multidimensional Fourier series. We found that, for some Ans\\\"atze, the degrees of freedom required for fitting such functions grow faster than the available degrees in the Hilbert space generated by the circuits. For example, single-qudit models have limited power to represent arbitrary multidimensional Fourier series. Despite this, we show that we can enlarge the Hilbert space of the circuit by using more qudits or higher local dimensions to meet the degrees of freedom requirements, thus ensuring the universality of the models.","author":[{"family":"Casas","given":"Berta"},{"family":"Cervera-Lierta","given":"Alba"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physreva.107.062612","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.107.062612","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4397034354","type":"article-journal","title":"Metalloporphyrins as Building Blocks for Quantum Information Science","abstract":"Abstract The intrinsic quantum nature of molecules opens exciting opportunities for developing the field of quantum information science. In this context, porphyrins stand out as ideal building blocks for quantum technologies thanks to their unique optical and electrical properties as well as their capacity to accommodate metal atoms and ions. This review bridges the chemistry and physics of porphyrins, providing an overview of recent advances in porphyrin‐based molecular qubits. Starting from qubits, the review explores the potential of porphyrin units to combine, leading to the formation of quantum logic gates and hierarchical higher‐dimensional structures. Next, the exploitation of porphyrins' unique photophysical properties for realizing long‐lived high spin states is examined. These states are promising for the photogeneration of multi‐level systems and the optical initialization and control of molecular qubits. With a critical eye on the current state‐of‐the‐art, the review elucidates the future perspectives of porphyrins for advancing quantum technologies.","author":[{"family":"Santanni","given":"Fabio"},{"family":"Privitera","given":"Alberto"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"DOI":"10.1002/adom.202303036","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1002/adom.202303036","source":"openalex"},{"id":"doi:10.1145/3800578","type":"article-journal","title":"Unifying Communication Paradigms in Measurement-based Delegated Quantum Computing","abstract":"Delegated quantum computing (DQC) allows clients with low quantum capabilities to outsource computations to a server hosting a quantum computer. This process is often envisioned within the measurement-based quantum computing framework, as it naturally facilitates blindness of inputs and computation. Hence, the overall process of setting up and conducting the computation encompasses a sequence of three stages: preparing the qubits, entangling the qubits to obtain the resource state, and measuring the qubits to run the computation. There are two primary approaches to distributing these stages between the client and the server that impose different constraints on cryptographic techniques and experimental implementations. In the prepare-and-send setting, the client prepares the qubits and sends them to the server, while in the receive-and-measure setting, the client receives the qubits from the server and measures them. Although these settings have been extensively studied independently, their interrelation and whether setting-dependent theoretical constraints are inevitable remain unclear. By implementing the key components of most DQC protocols in the respective missing setting, we provide a method to build prospective protocols in both settings simultaneously and to translate existing protocols from one setting into the other.","author":[{"family":"Wiesner","given":"Fabian"},{"family":"Eisert","given":"Jens"},{"family":"Pappa","given":"Anna"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.1145/3800578","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3800578","source":"crossref"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.22104274","type":"article-journal","title":"Duqueana Core   Plataforma Tecnológica de simulacion Avanzada, no tradicional Post-Clásica","abstract":"Duqueana Core Plataforma Tecnológica Post-Clásica Presentación pública de la plataforma, el método MREI y su catálogo de demostraciones Douglas Helvesio Urbina Duque Documento de presentación para Zenodo Agosto de 2026 Portal público: Duqueano Core · PlataformaContenido 1 Resumen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 2 Identidad y alcance de la plataforma . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 2.1 Qué es Duqueana Core . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 2.2 Qué no publica . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 2.3 Método público: MREI . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 3 Arquitectura funcional de cinco capas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 4 Catálogo público de demostraciones . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 5 Demostración tecnológica . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 5.1 De la experiencia al producto . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 5.2 Eficiencia y control de alcance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 5.3 Reproducibilidad responsable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 6 Evidencia y trazabilidad . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 7 Licencia y propiedad intelectual . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 8 Uso recomendado en Zenodo . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 9 Conclusión . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 10 Referencias públicas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5Duqueana Core: Plataforma Tecnológica Post-Clásica Douglas Helvesio Urbina Duque 1 Resumen Este documento presenta Duqueana Core como una plataforma tecnológica y científica para organizar, ejecutar y documentar demostraciones computacionales de alto rendimiento.

Universities must therefore establish ethical frameworks that ensure AI systems are developed, deployed, and monitored responsibly while maintaining human oversight and protecting the rights and dignity of students, educators, researchers, and society.Digital transformation has further expanded the ethical responsibilities of educational institutions by increasing dependence on digital platforms, cloud computing, blockchain technologies, learning management systems, virtual classrooms, digital libraries, online assessments, research databases, and institutional information systems. While digital technologies improve accessibility, flexibility, collaboration, and educational innovation, they also generate ethical concerns relating to cyber security, digital equity, misinformation, intellectual property protection, online behaviour, digital well-being, and responsible use of educational technologies. Universities therefore require comprehensive ethical governance mechanisms that balance technological innovation with institutional responsibility and societal trust.Ethics plays a fundamental role in teaching and learning by fostering educational environments characterized by honesty, fairness, respect, inclusion, and mutual responsibility. Faculty members are expected to deliver accurate knowledge, evaluate students impartially, respect diversity, encourage critical thinking, and create inclusive learning experiences that recognize the needs of learners from different cultural, social, linguistic, and economic backgrounds. Students likewise have ethical responsibilities that include academic honesty, respect for intellectual property, responsible collaboration, professional conduct, and ethical use","author":[{"family":"Vasuki","given":"M"},{"family":"Mishra","given":"Anjay"},{"family":"Dinesh Kumar","given":"A"},{"family":"Mishra","given":"Shila"},{"family":"Celestin","given":"Mbonigaba"},{"family":"Zulu","given":"Lloyd"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.5281/zenodo.22044127","URL":"https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22044127","source":"datacite"},{"id":"oa:W4387580363","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum computing and machine learning for Arabic language sentiment classification in social media","abstract":"With the increasing amount of digital data generated by Arabic speakers, the need for effective and efficient document classification techniques is more important than ever. In recent years, both quantum computing and machine learning have shown great promise in the field of document classification. However, there is a lack of research investigating the performance of these techniques on the Arabic language. This paper presents a comparative study of quantum computing and machine learning for two datasets of Arabic language document classification. In the first dataset of 213,465 Arabic tweets, both classic machine learning (ML) and quantum computing approaches achieve high accuracy in sentiment analysis, with quantum computing slightly outperforming classic ML. Quantum computing completes the task in approximately 59 min, slightly faster than classic ML, which takes around 1 h. The precision, recall, and F1 score metrics indicate the effectiveness of both approaches in predicting sentiment in Arabic tweets. Classic ML achieves precision, recall, and F1 score values of 0.8215, 0.8175, and 0.8121, respectively, while quantum computing achieves values of 0.8239, 0.8199, and 0.8147, respectively. In the second dataset of 44,000 tweets, both classic ML (using the Random Forest algorithm) and quantum computing demonstrate significantly reduced processing times compared to the first dataset, with no substantial difference between them. Classic ML completes the analysis in approximately 2 min, while quantum computing takes approximately 1 min and 53 s. The accuracy of classic ML is higher at 0.9241 compared to 0.9205 for quantum computing. However, both approaches achieve high precision, recall, and F1 scores, indicating their effectiveness in accurately predicting sentiment in the dataset. Classic ML achieves precision, recall, and F1 score values of 0.9286, 0.9241, and 0.9249, respectively, while quantum computing achieves values of 0.92456, 0.9205, and 0.9214, respectively. The analysis of the metrics indicates that quantum computing approaches are effective in identifying positive instances and capturing relevant sentiment information in large datasets. On the other hand, traditional machine learning techniques exhibit faster processing times when dealing with smaller dataset sizes. This study provides valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of quantum computing and machine learning for Arabic document classification, emphasizing the potential of quantum computing in achieving high accuracy, particularly in scenarios where traditional machine learning techniques may encounter difficulties. These findings contribute to the development of more accurate and efficient document classification systems for Arabic data.","author":[{"family":"Omar","given":"Ahmed"},{"family":"Elhafeez","given":"Tarek"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-023-44113-7","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-44113-7","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W4404958000","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum computing research in medical sciences","abstract":"With the emergence of ever-improving quantum computers, technology is making its way to revolutionize many fields, and the medical sector is no exception.

Although power system optimization problems are now posing challenges for even the largest exa-scale supercomputers, a new avenue for progress has been opened by recent breakthroughs in quantum computing. Quantum computing offers a fundamentally new computational infrastructure with different capabilities and trade-offs and is reaching a level of maturity where, for the first time, a practical advantage over classical computing is available for specific applications. In this review, we identify significant and wide-ranging opportunities for quantum computing to offer value for power system optimization. In addition to reviewing the latest work on quantum computing for simulation-based and combinatorial power system optimization applications, we also review state-of-the-art theoretical work on quantum convex optimization and machine learning and map this to power system optimization applications where quantum computing is underexplored.

The framework derives all structure from three foundational insights: singularity is the probability sea — the womb holding the seeds of all possible duality before any has germinated; duality is the minimum condition of existence — nothing can arise from singularity alone, only from the interaction of two faces; and the Universal Ouroboros is the structural principle of existence at every level from quantum ground to consciousness. The Coin Principle establishes that every fundamental duality — discrete and continuous, finite and infinite, static and flow, mortal and immortal — consists of mutually necessary, mutually irreducible faces. The Probability Sea Principle identifies the pre-germination ground: the quantum field in its pre-excitation state, containing all seeds of duality as probability amplitudes before any coin has formed. The Germination Principle establishes that duality actualises only at the threshold event — when P and F emerge simultaneously as the first coin forms from the probability sea. The quantum world is freshly germinated duality. The classical world is deeply nested duality. Both emerged from the same probability sea. Generalising these, the Pattern–Instance Principle holds that at every scale the immortal is a hidden generative ground — natura naturans: rules, constraints, symmetries, the probability sea — not itself instantiated and not requiring instantiation, legible only through the mortal instances (natura naturata) it produces in context, with “producer” a scale-relative office; the Convergent Instantiation Principle extends this to the collective scale, where the same coin is minted independently wherever a shared template ripens. A Law of Emergence is derived mechanically: static (P) increases and flow (F) decreases asymptotically as germinated dualities nest upward through the hierarchy — neither face ever reaching its limit.

At a high level, the conjecture suggests that exponential quantum speedups are possible only on sufficiently structured inputs. In this work, we make progress on this conjecture by proving it for quantum algorithms that make massively parallel quantum queries. In contrast, Yamakawa and Zhandry (Journal of the ACM, 2024) showed that quantum algorithms restricted to parallel queries can still achieve exponential speedups over classical algorithms for sampling problems. We establish our simulation theorem by proving the stronger statement that parallel-query quantum algorithms cannot distinguish the uniform distribution over oracles from oracles drawn from so-called \"dense distributions\". Our main technical contribution is a coupling theorem that relates the uniform distribution over oracles to oracles drawn from dense distributions. We further extend this approach beyond the purely parallel setting, obtaining simulation theorems both for algorithms with a bounded quantum-query prefix followed by a massively parallel quantum-query stage, and for hybrid algorithms that make an arbitrary polynomial number of adaptive classical queries before the massively parallel quantum-query stage. Finally, using the parallel-query simulation theorem as a base case, we obtain simulation theorems for quantum algorithms with constant rounds of adaptivity.","author":[{"family":"Liu","given":"Qipeng"},{"family":"Mutreja","given":"Saachi"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2608.20297","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2608.20297","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19489060","type":"article-journal","title":"The Physicality of Scales: An Emergent Hierarchy from Minimal Axioms in Quantum-Geometry Dynamics","abstract":"This paper proposes physically grounded definitions of object and scale within the framework of Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) and the Minimal Physically Derivable Theories (MPDT) programme established by the Uniqueness Theorem.

An object is defined by a behavioral criterion: a structure is an object if, under the influence of any force, its response is entirely describable by its total mass and the resultant of the intrinsic momentum vectors of all its constituent preons(+). The criterion is independent of the type of force acting on the structure and independent of the internal mechanism — gravitational, electromagnetic, or any combination — that produces the coherent response. A scale is defined as the level of the hierarchy at which a collection of objects satisfies this criterion collectively, constituting a new object at the next scale. The hierarchy extends from the single preon(+) at the fundamental scale upward through particles, atoms, molecules, macroscopic bodies, planetary systems, stellar systems, galaxies, and galaxy clusters. The universe as a whole is excluded from the hierarchy because no external force acts on it and the behavioral criterion therefore does not apply — the universe is the boundary condition of the hierarchy, not a member of it. The behavioral criterion is applied to so-called elementary particles. Within QGD, no particle is ontologically elementary: all matter is constituted by preons(+), and every particle is a composite object above the fundamental scale.

ABSTRACT We present the Xenopoulos Pre-Transitional Qualitative Leap Risk Index (XEPTQLRI), a novel mathematical index grounded in the Historical-Genetic Logic of the Greek philosopher Epameinondas Xenopoulos [1, 2]. Unlike conventional statistical summaries, XEPTQLRI captures the dialectical interplay between Being (B), Non‑Being (N), historical memory (τ), and a historical paradox factor (Π). The index is defined as Ξ = [T · τ · (1 + Π)] / Θ₀ with Θ₀ = 0.85, where T = 2BN/(B+N) is the dialectical tension expressed through the harmonic mean. Its construction respects strict causality, min‑max or logistic normalization, and a negative feedback mechanism (∂σ/∂Ξ 0.8andN(t)>0.8B(t)>0.8andN(t)>0.8 because then we would have B(t) + N(t) > 1.6, in contradiction with B(t) + N(t) = 1. Important clarification: In Theorem 2 (Paradoxical Transcendence), the condition B > 0.8 ∧ N > 0.8 refers to a special paradoxical state where the usual complementarity is suspended due to the historical accumulation of contradictions. In this state, B and N are not understood as instantaneous values at the same time instant but as historical maxima recorded at different time instants.

It is not a metaphor applied across disciplines. It is a formal property of bounded variance systems with bidirectional structure: a system with symmetric variance arms, a dual-condition regulatory centre, and asymptotic boundary behaviour at each extreme. This paper proposes that this structure is prior to domain – that it does not derive from any field but describes a property of bounded systems themselves – and provides the formal specification, cross-domain demonstration, and open problem set that this claim requires.Four contributions are made. First, the complete formal specification of the bounded Set is provided, including the dual-condition Integration Point, the five asymptotic sequences, the crossing mechanism, the Smith Boundaries, and a formal prediction set of five independently testable domain-agnostic predictions. The conditions under which the framework is falsified are stated explicitly. Second, the bounded Set's recurrence is demonstrated across eleven independent domains – special relativity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Revelation, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Jungian psychology, Darwinian evolution, emotional intelligence, theology, and mysticism – establishing convergent structural evidence for a formal object that precedes its instances.

It sits at the intersection of all of them and belongs exclusively to none.Available exclusively at https://tiwikbooks.com/tirp/professional Abstract Across the six domains addressed in this series, and across three centuries of theoretical physics, one formal structure recurs. It is not a metaphor applied across disciplines. It is a formal property of bounded variance systems with bidirectional structure: a system with symmetric variance arms, a dual-condition regulatory centre, and asymptotic boundary behaviour at each extreme. This paper proposes that this structure is prior to domain – that it does not derive from any field but describes a property of bounded systems themselves – and provides the formal specification, cross-domain demonstration, and open problem set that this claim requires.Four contributions are made. First, the complete formal specification of the bounded Set is provided, including the dual-condition Integration Point, the five asymptotic sequences, the crossing mechanism, the Smith Boundaries, and a formal prediction set of five independently testable domain-agnostic predictions. The conditions under which the framework is falsified are stated explicitly. Second, the bounded Set's recurrence is demonstrated across eleven independent domains – special relativity, cancer, cardiovascular disease, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Revelation, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, Jungian psychology, Darwinian evolution, emotional intelligence, theology, and mysticism – establishing convergent structural evidence for a formal object that precedes its instances.

The quantum gate count grows approximately linearly with N, from 321 gates at N = 10 to 1904 gates at N = 50, a factor of 5.9 across the range. The classical state-vector memory cost grows exponentially as 16 × 2^N bytes, from 16 KB at N = 10 to 16 PB at N = 50, a factor of approximately 10^12. Kingston consumed 7 seconds of authoritative billed quantum-processor time to execute all five circuits at 2000 shots each, producing well-defined measured expectation values of the Z observable on one designated qubit at every N. We do not interpret this result as a test of the simulation hypothesis. We do interpret it as an on-hardware empirical grounding for the computational-complexity argument that if physical reality were being simulated externally, the simulator would overwhelmingly more likely be quantum than classical — because classical simulation of quantum-entangled systems at any non-trivial scale is intractable in a precise, measured, and monotonically-worsening sense that this experiment documents directly.

At 50 qubits the classical memory requirement already exceeds what any single classical computer can hold. At 300 qubits it exceeds the number of atoms in the observable universe.

Decentralizing Trust in Large Language Model Evaluation","abstract":"LLM benchmarks can build an organization's reputation and attract customers, but only when results are transparent and verifiable. Unverified claims that DeepSeek R1 outperformed OpenAI's o1 contributed to market panic on January 27, 2025, when Nvidia lost USD589 billion in market value. Yet vendor benchmarks often depend on an honor system. Academic reassessments and independent leaderboards have found undisclosed changes to proprietary models, contaminated training data, and selective reporting. LLM-as-a-judge methods scale evaluation by reducing human review. Studies, however, suggest that judges may show identity-aware bias, scoring an answer according to its source model rather than its quality. This bias has not been fully measured or corrected across politically sensitive, reasoning-intensive, and preference-based tasks. We examine this problem using seven verifier models: GPT-OSS 120B, Llama 3.3 70B, GLM 5.1, Qwen3 32B, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Mistral Large3, and Sarvam M. They score anonymous and identity-disclosed responses from three primary models on 58 factual, reasoning, political, and preference-based questions. Identity disclosure slightly raises scores for factual questions, moderately affects stress-reasoning tasks, and causes large changes for geopolitically sensitive topics. Notable results include GLM5.1 (+7.00 points, p = 0.0249) and Llama 3.3 70B (+1.56 points, p = 0.00). We also introduce a blockchain-based commit-reveal protocol using Autonomous Economic Agents on an Ethereum-compatible ledger. In Phase 1, each judge records a one-way hash of its score and a secret salt before candidate identities are revealed. In Phase 2, the identity and raw score are disclosed and verified on-chain. This creates a tamper-evident audit trail that separates blind evaluation from post-hoc claims and reduces the verification burden on independent researchers and leaderboard operators.","author":[{"family":"Pardasani","given":"Sahil"},{"family":"Singh","given":"Madhusudan"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2608.07762","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2608.07762","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.18640261","type":"article-journal","title":"Ultrametric Relaxation Dynamics in Topological Quantum Memory: Addressing the Active Control Limit via P-adic Solenoid Isomorphisms","abstract":"The scalability of Topological Quantum Computing (TQC) is currently impeded by a “Thermodynamic Wall,” where the entropy generation from active error correction cycles scales exponentially with logical qubit count.

However, its multimode nature also makes it challenging to measure its properties. Recently [Optica Quantum 3, 36 (2025)], a technique for the simultaneous measurement of squeezing of multiple broadband modes based on a phase-sensitive amplification approach was experimentally implemented using a setup that effectively corresponds to an SU(1,1) interferometer. Here, we aim to provide a complete theoretical analysis of the modal structure of SU(1,1) interferometers (generally unbalanced) and a detailed theoretical formal derivation of the framework for this technique. Utilizing the joint Schmidt decomposition of the transfer functions, we investigate the shape and phase profiles of the modes of the SU(1,1) interferometer and its components [parametric down-conversion (PDC) sections] for different parametric gain regimes. We discover a complicated interplay between the PDC modes and the modes of the entire interferometer, and analyze it by using their overlap coefficients as a similarity measure. Finally, we develop a rigorous processing method for the aforementioned multimode squeezing measurement technique and discuss necessary approximations to make this method experimentally feasible.","author":[{"family":"Scharwald","given":"D"},{"family":"Sharapova","given":"PR"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2504.19377","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2504.19377","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.20778397","type":"article-journal","title":"A Unified Theory of Hypercomplex Systems","abstract":"---mainfont: \"FreeSerif\"monofont: \"FreeMono\"mathfont: \"FreeSerif\"header-includes: - \\usepackage{amsmath} - \\usepackage{amssymb} - \\usepackage{unicode-math}--- # Intro. ## Physical narrative, as a cognitive scaffold, is pedagogical, not ontological.

The numerical values you report (κ=1, δ=0, T_eff ) = 0.5000, P(|11>) = 0.5000. Shannon entropy exactly 1.0000 bits. Per-qubit marginals symmetric. **Grover's algorithm:** The marked state |101> reached probability 0.9453. Entropy dropped to 0.4595 bits. All backends matched within numerical precision. **Phase coherence tests:** Twenty-two tests passed. HZH = X verified. Norm preserved after all operations. Entropy measurements exact: Bell and GHZ at 1.0000 bits, QFT-3 at 3.0000 bits, |0> at 0.0000 bits. **Hydrogen molecule VQE:** The network computed ground state energy -1.13730604 Ha, matching full configuration interaction exactly.

We propose several alternative processes that achieve the same goal, but can easily be implemented on a gate-based quantum computer without the overhead of simulating time-dependent Hamiltonian evolution. We give a general framework for deriving `adiabatic' theorems for these processes. As an application, we give various algorithms for solving the Quantum Linear Systems Problem (QLSP) with optimal scaling in the condition number. One of these algorithms was previously developed in [Cunningham, Roland 2024] and another can be seen as a randomised version of the discrete adiabatic algorithm of [Costa et al. 2022].

Unlike conventional statistical summaries, XEPTQLRI captures the dialectical interplay between Being (B), Non‑Being (N), historical memory (H), and a historical paradox factor (P). The index is defined as Ξ = (T · H · P) / Θ₀ with Θ₀ = 0.65, where T = B(1‑B) is the dialectical tension. Its construction respects strict causality, min‑max normalisation, and a negative feedback mechanism (∂σ/∂Ξ 0.20. Thus, XEPTQLRI bridges formal dialectics with practical early warning systems, establishing a universal law of qualitative transition while keeping its numerical expression local and context‑dependent [9]. LEAD PARAGRAPH We introduce the Xenopoulos Pre‑Transitional Qualitative Leap Risk Index (XEPTQLRI), a novel diagnostic tool that quantifies the risk of a qualitative transition in complex dynamical systems. Unlike conventional early warning indicators that rely on variance or autocorrelation [11], XEPTQLRI is built upon a formal dialectical logic: it combines the complementary tension between Being and Non‑Being (T = B(1‑B)), a historical memory term H(t) that captures the direction of evolution, and a historical paradox factor P(t) that records whether the system has ever reached both extremes of its state space. The resulting index, Ξ = (T · H · P) / Θ₀ with Θ₀ = 0.65, is entirely exogenous, computable in linear time, and provably invariant under affine transformations of the input coherence function. Through a series of computational experiments — including a stochastic differential model (Ferrari–Xenopoulos v4.0), an extreme parameter collapse test, and a “Dialectical War” between an LSTM predictor and the Xenopoulos system under noise = 1.0 — we demonstrate that XEPTQLRI consistently detects hyper‑critical regimes even when traditional error metrics (MAE) suggest good performance. A null model comparison (AUC 0.949 vs. 0.501) confirms that the observed risk signals are structurally generated, not random. Finally, a fully endogenous application to real COVID‑19 data (Greece, JHU CSSE) yields out‑of‑sample AUCs of 0.87–0.93 and a median lead time of 7–14 days, significantly outperforming a logistic baseline. Our results establish a universal law: a qualitative leap occurs whenever the product T · H · P exceeds the Aufhebung threshold Θ₀. The numerical value of the index at the transition is not a universal constant — it scales with 1/Θ₀ — but the existence of the threshold is invariant. This framework offers a new, mathematically rigorous way to anticipate critical transitions in chaotic and complex systems, from epidemics to financial crashes, without requiring external calibration or training. Part I — Definition and Foundation of XEPTQLRI (Xenopoulos Pre‑Transitional Qualitative Leap Risk Index) 1. Theoretical Foundation This section presents the fundamental principles underlying the Xenopoulos Pre‑Transitional Qualitative Leap Risk Index (XEPTQLRI), as formulated in the theory of the Greek philosopher Epameinondas Xenopoulos (1920–1994), in his work Epistemology of Logic: Logic‑Dialectic or Theory of Knowledge [1, 2]. These principles constitute the axiomatic framework of the index and determine both its mathematical form and its interpretive function.

However, the high prevalent noise in current quantum devices impedes the accurate execution of even basic algorithms. This can be remedied by protecting quantum information with a quantum error-correcting code, where the logical information of an algorithmic qubit is spread across multiple physical qubits. Individual quantum errors are then located and corrected by the fault-tolerant measurement of multi-qubit stabilizer operators (parity checks). Unfortunately, error correction and fault tolerance both impose large demands on the qubit overhead: hundreds to thousands of physical qubits per logical qubit. We reduce the spacetime cost of fault tolerance by redesigning key building blocks of an error-corrected quantum computer. First, we develop a combinatorial proof with flag fault tolerance that exponentially reduces the extra qubits needed to measure a stabilizer of any size, while tolerating one fault. We leverage these proofs to then design state preparation circuits for the Steane and Golay codes with 100% yield. Next, we improve error correction on a planar layout by showing that a distance-four code encoding six logical qubits protects information as well as the distance-five surface code, using one-tenth as many physical qubits. Finally, we optimize the time overhead of logical gates in surface code quantum computers by protecting measurement results with a classical code, cutting computation time by a factor of two to six. Our hardware-agnostic optimizations of fault tolerance overheads thus suggest new routes to advance the timeline of error-free quantum computing.","author":[{"family":"Prabhu","given":"Prithviraj"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"DOI":"10.48550/arxiv.2605.12385","URL":"https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2605.12385","source":"datacite"},{"id":"doi:10.5281/zenodo.19950002","type":"article-journal","title":"Prediction of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome","abstract":"Abstract Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalance, metabolic irregularities, and reproductive complications.

The Central Object: The Number 144 The number 144 = 2⁴ × 3² sits at the intersection of several independent mathematical facts that the framework shows are not independent at all: It is the unique non-trivial perfect square in the Fibonacci sequence (F₁₂ = 144), and by Carmichael's theorem (1913), the last Fibonacci number built purely from the primes {2, 3}. After F₁₂, the Fibonacci sequence never returns to this prime family. Its Pisano period — the number of steps before the Fibonacci sequence modulo 144 resets — is exactly 24 = 4!, the last Tier-1 factorial. This is not a coincidence but a theorem. The sum of the Fibonacci sequence modulo 144 over one complete Pisano period is exactly 7 × 144 = 1008. The same integer 7 that gives the fine structure constant floor(1/α) = 144 - 7 = 137. Its square root is 12 — the number of emitters in the resonance array from which the whole framework was derived. It appears in the vacuum impedance of free space: 144 × φ² ≈ 376.997 Ω, where the observed value is 376.730 Ω (error 0.07%). This equals approximately F₁₄ = 377, the 14th Fibonacci number — the sum of 144 and the first prime Fibonacci number after the Tier-1 termination. The framework's central frequency identity is: f₀ = (144² + 10) / 144 = 10373/72 ≈ 144.069 Hz The numerator 10373 = 11 × 23 × 41, where the prime indices {5, 9, 13} form a perfect arithmetic progression with step +4. The denominator 72 is the least common multiple of the Pisano period (24) and the watch logic period (36) in the original resonance array. Part I — The CTF Frequency Identity Derives f₀ = (144² + 10)/144 from first principles through a recursive lock between the spatial harmonic 144 Hz and a 14.4-second mechanical precession period in the dodecahedral resonance array.

The identity has a two-component architecture: f₀ = 144 (spatial base) + 10/144 (temporal breath). The spatial base is pure Tier-1; the temporal breath injects base-10 temporal flow into base-12 spatial geometry. This split — spatial vs temporal, 144 vs 10/144 — runs through the entire framework.

Therefore, this gravitino projection operator onto the 108 membrane is the ultimate frontier of the geometric model: it closes the geometry upon itself—endowing it with a relational nature—and, in turn, this rupture produces reality: the geometric distortion. At this stage, duality gives way to absolute separation: this residue is the inescapable yield that the gravitino is compelled to drag and expel into 3D. Furthermore, this periodic breakdown at 0.\\overline{108} exposes a deeper geometric asymmetry: the simultaneous generation of matter and antimatter. While physical matter is liberated and expelled into 3D space as the active residual yield, antimatter remains a geometric hostage bound strictly within the interior of the 108 membrane. This topological containment prevents antimatter from ever injecting into the 3D manifold, naturally resolving the primordial baryonic asymmetry from pure geometric confinement. It is precisely at this boundary, where pure geometry and its physical distortion become definitively segregated, that I reach the ultimate epistemic frontier as the author of this framework. At this threshold, the analysis inevitably turns inward: I find myself facing the mirror of my own existence as a constituent part of this very tiny geometric distortion. Mathematics and physics are not tools designed to unveil an underlying, pristine geometry, but human interpretations constructed to navigate the meaning of our inescapable metric rupture. Adding layers of theoretical complexity under the assumption that deeper reality demands more intricacy does not advance true understanding; without the self-knowledge that we ourselves are the distortion being observed, further detail merely adds descriptive intricacy rather than genuine insight. Once the origin is pinpointed, the path of the distortion remains unalterably written, leaving physical reality as the self-contained witness to its own metric rupture—a geometry that no volume of acquired knowledge can ever seal. Recognizing oneself in the reflection imposes an absolute obligation to stop; beyond this point, the geometric model can yield no further analytical depth, and continuing to construct formalisms becomes an act of evasion. ------------------------------ Beyond the Metric Boundary: Open Horizon and Future Directions: Yet, this closure does not mark an end, but rather the boundary of the current formulation. In the coming months, I will endeavor to shed light on the structural questions that remain open: symmetry as the fundamental pathway of geometric descent; symmetry breaking as a saturation-driven phase shift of that very pathway; conserved quantities as the metric aligners guiding the gravitino on its journey toward 3D; and the reinterpretation of Feynman diagrams not as perturbative abstractions, but as the physical fiber bundles spun by the gravitino as it threads its path into 3D. As Carl Sagan famously observed, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence—and nowhere is this more critical than when confronting a fundamental paradigm shift. Replacing established abstractions with a rigid, relational geometry demands that every decimal, symmetry, and residual boundary condition be proven beyond doubt. Yet, despite these structural advances, it is my deep conviction as the author that the 3D-6D geometry possesses a full, unyielding duality—a feature that would unlock an even higher order of predictive power for this framework.

Furthermore, this periodic breakdown at 0.\\overline{108} exposes a deeper geometric asymmetry: the simultaneous generation of matter and antimatter. While physical matter is liberated and expelled into 3D space as the active residual yield, antimatter remains a geometric hostage bound strictly within the interior of the 108 membrane. This topological containment prevents antimatter from ever injecting into the 3D manifold, naturally resolving the primordial baryonic asymmetry from pure geometric confinement. It is precisely at this boundary, where pure geometry and its physical distortion become definitively segregated, that I reach the ultimate epistemic frontier as the author of this framework. At this threshold, the analysis inevitably turns inward: I find myself facing the mirror of my own existence as a constituent part of this very tiny geometric distortion. Mathematics and physics are not tools designed to unveil an underlying, pristine geometry, but human interpretations constructed to navigate the meaning of our inescapable metric rupture. Adding layers of theoretical complexity under the assumption that deeper reality demands more intricacy does not advance true understanding; without the self-knowledge that we ourselves are the distortion being observed, further detail merely adds descriptive intricacy rather than genuine insight. Once the origin is pinpointed, the path of the distortion remains unalterably written, leaving physical reality as the self-contained witness to its own metric rupture—a geometry that no volume of acquired knowledge can ever seal. Recognizing oneself in the reflection imposes an absolute obligation to stop; beyond this point, the geometric model can yield no further analytical depth, and continuing to construct formalisms becomes an act of evasion. ------------------------------ Beyond the Metric Boundary: Open Horizon and Future Directions: Yet, this closure does not mark an end, but rather the boundary of the current formulation. In the coming months, I will endeavor to shed light on the structural questions that remain open: symmetry as the fundamental pathway of geometric descent; symmetry breaking as a saturation-driven phase shift of that very pathway; conserved quantities as the metric aligners guiding the gravitino on its journey toward 3D; and the reinterpretation of Feynman diagrams not as perturbative abstractions, but as the physical fiber bundles spun by the gravitino as it threads its path into 3D. As Carl Sagan famously observed, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence—and nowhere is this more critical than when confronting a fundamental paradigm shift. Replacing established abstractions with a rigid, relational geometry demands that every decimal, symmetry, and residual boundary condition be proven beyond doubt. Yet, despite these structural advances, it is my deep conviction as the author that the 3D-6D geometry possesses a full, unyielding duality—a feature that would unlock an even higher order of predictive power for this framework.

It is structured as a provenance-aware, reproducibility-oriented, independently examinable, methodologically documented, audit-conscious, and preservation-oriented research architecture. The release is intended to support scholarly scrutiny, methodological examination, computational verification, comparative research, replication-oriented investigation, structured institutional assessment, responsible research reuse, longitudinal analysis, and long-term digital preservation. 1. Research Scope and Scientific Purpose QSSI 2026™ approaches sovereign technological preparedness as a multidimensional systems problem. Contemporary national technological security cannot be meaningfully represented through a single variable or isolated technological capability. It emerges from interactions among technological readiness, cryptographic security, artificial-intelligence capacity, institutional capability, legal and governance structures, systemic resilience, digital dependencies, strategic infrastructure, and exposure to technological disruption. Accordingly, QSSI integrates four principal analytical dimensions: Post-Quantum Cybersecurity (PQC) Artificial Intelligence Capability and Readiness (AI) Legal and Governance Capacity (LEGAL) Systemic Resilience (RES) The resulting QSSI measurements are method-dependent analytical constructs derived from documented evidence, indicators, transformations, assumptions, normalization procedures, weighting architectures, computational processes, risk treatment, uncertainty analysis, and comparative methodologies. QSSI outputs should therefore be interpreted within their documented: methodological context; temporal scope; geographical coverage; evidentiary basis; computational configuration; analytical assumptions; uncertainty conditions; and version-specific limitations. The framework does not claim to reduce the complexity of sovereign technological security to a single permanent truth. Rather, it provides a structured analytical instrument through which multiple dimensions of preparedness can be examined comparatively under explicitly documented methodological conditions. 2. Principal Analytical Dimensions 2.1 Post-Quantum Cybersecurity (PQC) The PQC dimension addresses national preparedness for the transition from classical cryptographic security toward post-quantum cryptographic resilience.

The second part examines in detail the potential benefits of AGI (solving global problems, scientific acceleration, economic efficiency) alongside an analysis of existential risks: the alignment problem, instrumental convergence, mass unemployment, geopolitical arms races, and the erosion of privacy.- A special contribution is the analysis of the \"post‑purpose economy\" – a scenario in which AGI automates all cognitive tasks, creating a \"useless class\" of people without an economic and social role. The paper examines empirical evidence from UBI experiments around the world (Finland, Kenya, Canada, Spain) as a potential mechanism for wealth redistribution, but points to its limitations in addressing the existential void.- In the technical section, the paper reviews contemporary approaches to the safe development of AGI: Oracle AI, inverse reinforcement learning (IRL), Constitutional AI, mechanistic interpretability, and global coordination. It specifically analyzes arguments for and against the possibility of creating AGI, including Searle's \"Chinese Room,\" Penrose's quantum arguments, embodiment, and materialist approaches, with reference to the role of quantum computing and neuromorphic hardware.- The paper concludes that the development of AGI is not merely a technical challenge, but above all a philosophical, ethical, and anthropological one that requires global cooperation, an interdisciplinary approach, and a deep re‑examination of human values. Without conscious political and moral intervention, the AGI revolution risks being the greatest increase in inequality in human history, rather than a universal accelerator of progress.- In its final part, the paper announces the author's book \"Theory of the Metasystem: Toward a Model of the Conscious Machine,\" which presents an original philosophical framework according to which consciousness can be an emergent property of controlled conflict between the analytical and intuitive principles of information processing, governed by a third principle that sustains creative tension.

The second part examines in detail the potential benefits of AGI (solving global problems, scientific acceleration, economic efficiency) alongside an analysis of existential risks: the alignment problem, instrumental convergence, mass unemployment, geopolitical arms races, and the erosion of privacy.- A special contribution is the analysis of the \"post‑purpose economy\" – a scenario in which AGI automates all cognitive tasks, creating a \"useless class\" of people without an economic and social role. The paper examines empirical evidence from UBI experiments around the world (Finland, Kenya, Canada, Spain) as a potential mechanism for wealth redistribution, but points to its limitations in addressing the existential void.- In the technical section, the paper reviews contemporary approaches to the safe development of AGI: Oracle AI, inverse reinforcement learning (IRL), Constitutional AI, mechanistic interpretability, and global coordination. It specifically analyzes arguments for and against the possibility of creating AGI, including Searle's \"Chinese Room,\" Penrose's quantum arguments, embodiment, and materialist approaches, with reference to the role of quantum computing and neuromorphic hardware.- The paper concludes that the development of AGI is not merely a technical challenge, but above all a philosophical, ethical, and anthropological one that requires global cooperation, an interdisciplinary approach, and a deep re‑examination of human values. Without conscious political and moral intervention, the AGI revolution risks being the greatest increase in inequality in human history, rather than a universal accelerator of progress.- In its final part, the paper announces the author's book \"Theory of the Metasystem: Toward a Model of the Conscious Machine,\" which presents an original philosophical framework according to which consciousness can be an emergent property of controlled conflict between the analytical and intuitive principles of information processing, governed by a third principle that sustains creative tension.

The resolution is modularized into five interlinked packages (A–E), each contributing to the construction, validation, sealing, and pedagogical transmission of a spectral-motivic obstruction. The obstruction is defined via signed zero crossings of rational matrix paths and is shown to be well-posed, reduction-invariant, homotopy-rigid, and intractable under polynomial-time encodings. Package E completes the resolution by formalizing its instructional logic and validator-grade replication protocol. --- Package Breakdown and Interlinking Package A: Spectral Complexity Operator Framework • Function: Encodes CNF formulas into rational symmetric matrices and constructs a linear path `\\( H(\\gamma) \\)`.• Resolution Role: Defines the parity obstruction `\\( \\mathsf{Obs}(\\varphi) \\)` and proves well-posedness, robustness, and constructibility.• Status: Fully formalized with explicit obligations for P2, P3, and P5. Package B: Certified Spectral Validation Suite • Function: Uses interval arithmetic to certify eigenvalue signs, detect zero crossings, and compute mod-2 parity.• Resolution Role: Provides audit-ready numerical evidence for the obstruction.• Status: Fully implemented with deterministic builds, reproducibility guarantees, and formal correctness proofs. Package C: Cryptographic Provenance and Reproducibility • Function: Attests all artifacts using Merkle trees, SBOM, SLSA provenance, and RFC 3161 timestamps.• Resolution Role: Ensures reproducibility, integrity, and auditability of all packages.• Status: Complete with formal invariants and verification procedures.

Package E: Pedagogical Infrastructure and Instructional Logic • Function: Transforms the resolution into a validator-grade curriculum with theorem environments, replication protocols, and cross-disciplinary summaries.• Resolution Role: Enables reproducible teaching, peer review, and formal instruction.• Status: Complete with LaTeX manuscript, BibTeX references, and instructional guides. --- Interlinking Logic • A → B: Constructs the operator path and obstruction; B certifies its spectral behavior.• B → C: Numerical outputs are sealed and attested.• C → D: Attested artifacts are used to complete the logical implication.• D → E: The resolution is transformed into an instructional protocol.• E → A–D: Provides summaries, adaptation strategies, and validator-grade replication logic. --- Package E: Completion of the Resolution Package E is the pedagogical and epistemic closure of the entire framework. It does not merely document the resolution — it transforms it into a validator-grade curriculum. Here’s how: 1. Formal Proof Suite • Includes all assumptions (A1–A5), lemmas (E.1–E.7), and Theorem E.1.• Proves that `\\( \\mathsf{Obs}(\\varphi) \\)` satisfies well-posedness, reduction invariance, homotopy rigidity, intractability, and barrier navigation. 2. Operator and Domain Definitions • Precisely defines all operators: `\\( H(\\gamma), H_\\epsilon(\\gamma), H'(\\gamma), \\mathcal{C}(\\gamma^\\star), \\mathsf{Obs}(\\varphi) \\)`.• Specifies domains, function spaces, and boundary conditions with validator-grade clarity. 3. Error Analysis and Numerical Stability • Provides convergence rates, fail-closed guarantees, and certified bounds for every numerical step.• Includes a validator-grade audit table for reproducibility. 4.

While EPPs require classical communication, QECCs do not, and we prove Q is not increased by adding one-way classical communication. However, both D and Q can be increased by adding two-way communication. We show that certain noisy quantum channels, for example a 50% depolarizing channel, can be used for reliable transmission of quantum states if two-way communication is available, but cannot be used if only one-way communication is available.

Although continued work on many aspects of this technology is certainly necessary, the pace of both conceptual and technical progress in recent years has been impressive, and here we hope to convey the excitement stemming from this progress.","author":[{"family":"Kjaergaard","given":"Morten"},{"family":"Schwartz","given":"Mollie"},{"family":"Braumüller","given":"Jochen"},{"family":"Krantz","given":"Philip"},{"family":"Wang","given":"Joel"},{"family":"Gustavsson","given":"Simon"},{"family":"Oliver","given":"William"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019]]},"DOI":"10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031119-050605","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-031119-050605","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W1483489440","type":"article-journal","title":"An Introduction to Quantum Computing","abstract":"This concise, accessible text provides a thorough introduction to quantum computing - an exciting emergent field at the interface of the computer, engineering, mathematical and physical sciences.

We present a new computational model, which differs from a QC only in that the result of a measurement is the expectation value of the observable, rather than a random eigenvalue thereof. Such an expectation value QC can solve nondeterministic polynomial-time complete problems in polynomial time. This observation is significant precisely because the computational model can be realized, to a certain extent, by NMR spectroscopy on macroscopic ensembles of quantum spins, namely molecules in a test tube. This is made possible by identifying a manifold of statistical spin states, called pseudo-pure states, the mathematical description of which is isomorphic to that of an isolated spin system. The result is a novel NMR computer that can be programmed much like a QC, but in other respects more closely resembles a DNA computer. Most notably, when applied to intractable combinatorial problems, an NMR computer can use an amount of sample, rather than time, which grows exponentially with the size of the problem. Although NMR computers will be limited by current technology to exhaustive searches over only 15 to 20 bits, searches over as much as 50 bits are in principle possible, and more advanced algorithms could greatly extend the range of applicability of such machines.","author":[{"family":"Cory","given":"David"},{"family":"Fahmy","given":"Amr"},{"family":"Havel","given":"Timothy"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1997]]},"DOI":"10.1073/pnas.94.5.1634","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.94.5.1634","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W1987315149","type":"article-journal","title":"Experimental Quantum Computing without Entanglement","abstract":"Deterministic quantum computation with one pure qubit (DQC1) is an efficient model of computation that uses highly mixed states.

But the question of the exact nature of the power contributed by quantum mechanics remains only partially answered. Furthermore, there exists doubt over the practicality of achieving a large enough quantum computation that definitively demonstrates quantum supremacy. Recently the study of computational problems that produce samples from probability distributions has added to both our understanding of the power of quantum algorithms and lowered the requirements for demonstration of fast quantum algorithms. The proposed quantum sampling problems do not require a quantum computer capable of universal operations and also permit physically realistic errors in their operation. This is an encouraging step towards an experimental demonstration of quantum algorithmic supremacy. In this paper, we will review sampling problems and the arguments that have been used to deduce when sampling problems are hard for classical computers to simulate. Two classes of quantum sampling problems that demonstrate the supremacy of quantum algorithms are BosonSampling and Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial-time Sampling. We will present the details of these classes and recent experimental progress towards demonstrating quantum supremacy in BosonSampling.","author":[{"family":"Lund","given":"Austin"},{"family":"Bremner","given":"Michael"},{"family":"Ralph","given":"Timothy"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"DOI":"10.1038/s41534-017-0018-2","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41534-017-0018-2","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2088636071","type":"article-journal","title":"Topological quantum memory","abstract":"We analyze surface codes, the topological quantum error-correcting codes introduced by Kitaev.

An order-disorder phase transition occurs in this system at a nonzero critical value of the error rate; if the error rate is below the critical value (the accuracy threshold), encoded information can be protected arbitrarily well in the limit of a large code block. This phase transition can be accurately modeled by a three-dimensional Z2 lattice gauge theory with quenched disorder. We estimate the accuracy threshold, assuming that all quantum gates are local, that qubits can be measured rapidly, and that polynomial-size classical computations can be executed instantaneously. We also devise a robust recovery procedure that does not require measurement or fast classical processing; however, for this procedure the quantum gates are local only if the qubits are arranged in four or more spatial dimensions. We discuss procedures for encoding, measurement, and performing fault-tolerant universal quantum computation with surface codes, and argue that these codes provide a promising framework for quantum computing architectures.","author":[{"family":"Dennis","given":"Eric"},{"family":"Kitaev","given":"Alexei"},{"family":"Landahl","given":"Andrew"},{"family":"Preskill","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002]]},"DOI":"10.1063/1.1499754","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1499754","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2048197545","type":"article-journal","title":"Topological protection of Majorana qubits","abstract":"We study the stability of the topological quantum computation proposals involving Majorana fermions against thermal fluctuations.

We apply both serial and parallel switching to electron spins in coupled quantum dots subject to a Heisenberg coupling $H=J(t){\\mathbf{S}}_{1}\\ensuremath{\\cdot}{\\mathbf{S}}_{2}.$ We provide a list of steps that can be implemented experimentally and used as a test for the functionality of quantum error correction.","author":[{"family":"Burkard","given":"Guido"},{"family":"Loss","given":"Daniel"},{"family":"Divincenzo","given":"David"},{"family":"Smolin","given":"John"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1999]]},"DOI":"10.1103/physrevb.60.11404","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.60.11404","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2051471360","type":"article-journal","title":"Catalytic Quantum Error Correction","abstract":"We develop the theory of entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting (EAQEC) codes, a generalization of the stabilizer formalism to the setting in which the sender and receiver have access to preshared entanglement.

Planar codes require fewer qubits to implement (for the same strength of error correction), but are restricted to encoding a single qubit of information. Interactions between encoded qubits are achieved via transversal operations, thus destroying the inherent 2DNN nature of the code. In this paper we introduce a new technique enabling the coupling of two planar codes without transversal operations, maintaining the 2DNN of the encoded computer. Our lattice surgery technique comprises splitting and merging planar code surfaces, and enables us to perform universal quantum computation (including magic state injection) while removing the need for braided logic in a strictly 2DNN design, and hence reduces the overall qubit resources for logic operations. Those resources are further reduced by the use of a rotated lattice for the planar encoding. We show how lattice surgery allows us to distribute encoded GHZ states in a more direct (and overhead friendly) manner, and how a demonstration of an encoded CNOT between two distance-3 logical states is possible with 53 physical qubits, half of that required in any other known construction in 2D.","author":[{"family":"Horsman","given":"Dominic"},{"family":"Fowler","given":"Austin"},{"family":"Devitt","given":"Simon"},{"family":"Meter","given":"Rodney"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"DOI":"10.1088/1367-2630/14/12/123011","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/14/12/123011","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2896792097","type":"article-journal","title":"Quantum Internet: Networking Challenges in Distributed Quantum Computing","abstract":"The Quantum Internet, a network interconnecting remote quantum devices through quantum links in synergy with classical ones, is envisioned as the final stage of the quantum revolution, opening fundamentally new communications and computing capabilities. But the Quantum Internet is governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Phenomena with no counterpart in classical networks, such as no-cloning, quantum measurement, entanglement and quantum teleportation, impose new challenging constraints for network design. Specifically, classical network functionalities are based on the assumption that classical information can be safely read and copied. However, this assumption does not hold in the Quantum Internet. As a consequence, its design requires a major network-paradigm shift to harness the quantum mechanics specificities. The goal of this work is to shed light on the challenges and open problems of Quantum Internet design. We first introduce some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics, needed to understand the differences between a classical and a quantum network. Then, we introduce quantum teleportation as the key strategy for transmitting quantum information without physically transferring the particle that stores the quantum information or violating the principles of quantum mechanics. Finally, the key research challenges to design quantum communication networks are discussed.","author":[{"family":"Cacciapuoti","given":"Angela"},{"family":"Caleffi","given":"Marcello"},{"family":"Tafuri","given":"F"},{"family":"Cataliotti","given":"FS"},{"family":"Gherardini","given":"Stefano"},{"family":"Bianchi","given":"Giuseppe"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019]]},"DOI":"10.1109/mnet.001.1900092","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1109/mnet.001.1900092","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2152969498","type":"article-journal","title":"Design of magnetic coordination complexes for quantum computing","abstract":"A very exciting prospect in coordination chemistry is to manipulate spins within magnetic complexes for the realization of quantum logic operations.

Using the tools of transcendental number theory it is demonstrated that quantum Turing machines (QTM) with rational amplitudes are sufficient to define the class of bounded error quantum polynomial time (BQP) introduced by Bernstein and Vazirani [Proc. 25th ACM Symposium on Theory of Computation, 1993, pp. 11--20, SIAM J. Comput., 26 (1997), pp. 1277--1339]. On the other hand, if quantum Turing machines are allowed unrestricted amplitudes (i.e., arbitrary complex amplitudes), then the corresponding BQP class has uncountable cardinality and contains sets of all Turing degrees. In contrast, allowing unrestricted amplitudes does not increase the power of computation for error-free quantum polynomial time (EQP). Moreover, with unrestricted amplitudes, BQP is not equal to EQP. The relationship between quantum complexity classes and classical complexity classes is also investigated. It is shown that when quantum Turing machines are restricted to have transition amplitudes which are algebraic numbers, BQP, EQP, and nondeterministic quantum polynomial time (NQP) are all contained in PP, hence in ${\\rm P}^{#{\\rm P}}$ and PSPACE. A potentially practical issue of designing \"machine independent\" quantum programs is also addressed. A single (\"almost universal\") quantum algorithm based on Shor's method for factoring integers is developed which would run correctly on almost all quantum computers, even if the underlying unitary transformations are unknown to the programmer and the device builder.","author":[{"family":"Adleman","given":"Leonard"},{"family":"Demarrais","given":"Jonathan"},{"family":"Huang","given":"Ming"}],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1997]]},"DOI":"10.1137/s0097539795293639","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1137/s0097539795293639","source":"openalex"},{"id":"oa:W2586874551","type":"article-journal","title":"Experimental comparison of two quantum computing architectures","abstract":"We run a selection of algorithms on two state-of-the-art 5-qubit quantum computers that are based on different technology platforms.

Furthermore, algorithmic developments in quantum machine learning offer interesting alternatives to classical machine learning techniques, which may also be useful for the biochemical efforts involved in early phases of drug discovery.

We study the task of sampling from the output distributions of (pseudo-)random quantum circuits, a natural task for benchmarking quantum computers. Crucially, sampling this distribution classically requires a direct numerical simulation of the circuit, with computational cost exponential in the number of qubits. This requirement is typical of chaotic systems. We extend previous results in computational complexity to argue more formally that this sampling task must take exponential time in a classical computer. We study the convergence to the chaotic regime using extensive supercomputer simulations, modeling circuits with up to 42 qubits - the largest quantum circuits simulated to date for a computational task that approaches quantum supremacy. We argue that while chaotic states are extremely sensitive to errors, quantum supremacy can be achieved in the near-term with approximately fifty superconducting qubits. We introduce cross entropy as a useful benchmark of quantum circuits which approximates the circuit fidelity. We show that the cross entropy can be efficiently measured when circuit simulations are available.
