Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) reproduce adiabatic dynamics in finite time, but their counterdiabatic implementation relies on the adiabatic gauge potential (AGP), which is difficult to compute and implement in many-body systems and whose…
Decoherence is conventionally regarded as an obstacle to realizing topological quantum phases. This has motivated extensive efforts to suppress noise in candidate topological materials and devices. Here, we show that decoherence can instead…
Interactions that mix conjugate variables, such as the flux through a circuit element and the charge across it, lie outside the reach of the elementary couplings of superconducting circuits. Capacitors connect charge to charge, and…
Friedland et al. [PRL 129, 110402 (2022)] proposed and studied a quantum analogue of the $p$-Wasserstein distance based on quantum cost matrices and quantum couplings. They conjectured that, despite being only a semidistance in general,…
We specialize Agarwal's multi-level collective spontaneous-emission formalism to the four-level case by formulating it in the fully symmetric \SU(4) representation of $N$ identical atoms. In the irreducible representation $(N,0,0)$, the…
The spectral condition number is a widely adopted measure of worst-case cost for quantum linear system solvers. Yet it can significantly overestimate the actual runtime for a typical problem instance. We present two quantum algorithms that…
Time series analysis plays a vital role across a wide range of scientific and engineering domains but poses substantial computational challenges. A major difficulty arises from the time reparameterization invariance of time series data,…
Polarization measurements of a classical 1550-nm signal are collected and analyzed on 15-km hybrid aerial-inground fiber connections over 11 months. The spectral area and spectral moments9 of mHz-resolution Fast-Fourier-Transform (FFT) of…
Multi-stage cryogenic readout chains with a wide bandwidth and added noise within a few quanta of the quantum limit are frequently constructed using traveling-wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs) as the first stage, and a semiconductor…
Quantum error correction compatible with continuous symmetries is a fundamental problem in quantum information and a possible route to robust analog quantum simulation. Because the Eastin-Knill theorem forbids exact codes with continuous…
The distribution of entangled photon pairs over standard optical fiber is a fundamental requirement for the realization of the quantum internet. However, real-world deployment is severely bottlenecked by the interplay of amplitude damping…
The emergence of Quantum Software Engineering (QSE) responds to the need for systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable approaches to the development, operation, and maintenance of quantum software. Within this context, quantum computer…
Donor spin systems host a native Hilbert space whose dimension exceeds that of a qubit, meaning they can be used as qudits. Here we study a \ce{Si{:}P} donor spin system through leakage-aware randomized benchmarking (RB) of native ququart…
A fundamental question in PAC learning is determining the number of labeled examples required to learn a concept class to a desired accuracy and confidence. In classical learning theory, this quantity is characterized by the VC-dimension,…
Quantum thermometry based on single-qubit sensor configurations enables the precise estimation of the temperature of a cosmological Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. In this work, we characterize the achievable estimation accuracy using the…
The Born rule for computing probabilities of the outcomes of measurements is an indispensable ingredient of quantum mechanics. The standard textbook description of this rule gives the impression that it implies the unitarity of time…
Designing fault-tolerant quantum circuits that are both algorithmically correct and hardware compatible remains a major bottleneck in the transition to scalable quantum computing. We introduce RubriQ, a scalable framework that formulates…
This study develops a hybrid quantum-classical framework for constrained vehicle routing problems, focusing on the pickup-and-delivery problem with time windows. Instead of casting the full routing problem as a stand-alone quantum…
Accurately controlling entangling gates remains a major challenge for quantum technology applications with solid-state spin qubits. Here, we study a group-IV color-center with a strongly-coupled nuclear spin and approach the problem from a…
The performance of variational quantum algorithms depends in general on the structure of the parametrized quantum circuit, but the most common ans\"atze are typically based on local couplings. Motivated by the extended connectivity…
