Quantum entanglement is one of the most intriguing features of quantum mechanics. To investigate the entanglement between two excitons in a biexciton, an experimental technique called density matrix spectroscopy (DMS) has recently been…
Over the past decades, the operations research community has developed numerous effective optimization algorithms, yet quantum computing is emerging as a new computational paradigm with the potential to approach optimization problems more…
Molten salts such as FLiBe (2LiF--BeF$_2$) are leading blanket materials for breeding and recovering tritium in fusion reactors. Predicting tritium speciation requires accurate electronic ground-state energies for representative molten-salt…
The universal scaling of critical behavior in phase transitions is a cornerstone of physics. Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) are their nonequilibrium analogues: abrupt nonanalyticities that emerge as a quantum system evolves in…
Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires architectures that simultaneously address scalability, connectivity, and error correction under realistic noise constraints. We present a compound photonic-atomic quantum computing platform that…
We design an algorithm for learning the coefficients of an $n$-qubit constant-local Lindbladian to $\varepsilon$ error with $O(g d^2 \log(n) / \varepsilon^2)$ total evolution time, where $g$ is the single-site energy and $d$ is the…
Interleaved randomized benchmarking (IRB) provides a scalable estimate of a gate's error rate, but its standard guarantees require the interleaved gate to be Clifford~\cite{Magesan2012Interleaved,magesan2012characterizing}. In…
A subwavelength quantum-photonic circuit element should simultaneously generate nonclassical light, suppress plasmonic loss, and remain dynamically tunable. We show that an orthogonal plasmonic nanorod dimer can satisfy all three…
Superconducting transmon systems are promising platforms for nanoscale thermometry due to their high sensitivity to environmental fluctuations. Their intrinsic anharmonicity, which is essential for qubit operations, gives rise to a…
A central challenge in quantum algorithms and cryptography is reasoning about algorithms with oracle access to a random group element (e.g. a random function, permutation, or unitary). Can we efficiently simulate such algorithms? Can we…
The Bose-Hubbard system has been studied extensively both theoretically and experimentally, in particular in the context of ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices. Even in the two-mode case the many-particle dynamics display complex…
Teaching quantum mechanics is challenging, not least because the theory often conflicts with our classical worldview. Quantum correlations in particular are notoriously counter-intuitive. Their non-classical behavior is typically revealed…
Transport networks often lose functionality through gradual degradation in link operating conditions before topological disconnection occurs. Link-centred and binary percolation measures identify important facilities or connectivity…
Connectivity degradation in transport networks under structural disturbance is a central problem in network resilience research. Existing methods rely mainly on percolation theory and topological connectivity measures. They focus on whether…
Decoherence is the biggest bottleneck in all quantum technologies. For nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, the loss of coherence is caused by the electron and nuclear spin bath of the diamond lattice. Here, we demonstrate that the…
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have emerged as a promising approach to quantum cryptanalysis on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Although numerous variational attack schemes have been proposed for symmetric…
We investigate quantum synchronization in a coupled cavity optomagnonic system which consists of two spatially separated optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) resonators and each resonator is also coupled to a yttrium iron garnet (YIG)…
We propose a framework for the direct generation of flying cat-qubit states from vacuum using time-dependent two-photon drives in nonlinear bosonic systems. We study both Kerr-based and two-photon-dissipation-based generation. By…
In the control of dissipative quantum systems, the slow relaxation modes usually set the ultimate manipulation timescale. Here we show that this apparent bottleneck can be bypassed: dissipation itself becomes a control resource when fast…
The ability to control quantum correlations in strongly driven systems is a central challenge across quantum science, with implications for ultrafast dynamics, quantum control, and information processing. In photoionization, the emitted…
