Rethinking Reproducibility in the Classical (HPC)-Quantum Era: Toward Workflow-Centered Science

This paper argues that the integration of classical HPC and quantum computing exposes critical limitations in current reproducibility frameworks, necessitating a cultural and methodological shift toward workflow-centered scientific practices that document both process abstractions and implementation contexts to ensure robust knowledge validation.

Spectral dynamics reservoir computing for high-speed hardware-efficient neuromorphic processing

This paper introduces Spectral Dynamics Reservoir Computing (SDRC), a hardware-efficient framework that leverages the fast spectral dynamics of physical systems to achieve high-speed, high-performance neuromorphic processing without the need for complex, precision-sensitive integrated circuits, as demonstrated by state-of-the-art results on benchmark and speech recognition tasks using spin waves.

Predicting sampling advantage of stochastic Ising Machines for Quantum Simulations

This paper demonstrates that while stochastic Ising machines exhibit longer autocorrelation times for sampling neural-network quantum states of Heisenberg models, their massive parallelism projects a significant speed-up of 100 to 10,000 times over standard Metropolis-Hastings sampling, enabling efficient large-scale quantum simulations without requiring direct hardware deployment.

Boundaries of Acceptable Defectiveness: Redefining Surface Code Robustness under Heterogeneous Noise

This paper introduces a simulation framework using STIM to demonstrate that superconducting qubits with physical error rates up to 0.75 can be retained in surface code lattices without significantly degrading logical performance, thereby redefining defectiveness as a spectrum rather than a binary failure state and providing actionable metrics for hardware designers.
