In a recent work [D. K. Burgarth et al., Nat. Commun. 5, 5173 (2014)] it was shown that a series of frequent measurements can project the dynamics of a quantum system onto a subspace in which the dynamics can be more complex. In this…

Dynamic quantum circuits integrate unitary evolution with mid-circuit measurement and feedforward, enabling conditional operations essential for efficient quantum algorithms and foundational for fault-tolerant quantum computation. However,…
