Linear Time & Storage Simulation of Non-Clifford Circuits via Symmetric Cartesian Collapse: A Trajectory-Based Solution to the Exponential Bottleneck

This paper proposes a novel "Symmetric Cartesian Collapse" method that simulates non-Clifford quantum circuits in linear time and storage by modeling quantum systems as single discrete trajectories rather than dense matrices, theoretically enabling the simulation of over a thousand qubits on consumer hardware.

When Does a Readout Reflect Computation? Dose-Response Interventions in Continuous Thought Models

This paper demonstrates that in continuous thought models, readout-based interpretability often fails to reflect underlying computation because the latent states required to change the model's answer are significantly larger than those needed to alter the projected readout, necessitating dose-response curves rather than single-magnitude interventions for accurate causal analysis.

Platform Drift in Social-Media Image Forgery Detection and Localization: An Application-Level Analysis

This paper evaluates the robustness of the REFORGE-based forensic system against platform-induced distortions across four social networks and four datasets, finding that while binary tamper decisions remain stable, confidence scores and mask geometries exhibit measurable drift, thereby motivating the adoption of OSN-consistency regularization and platform-conditioned normalization for enhanced detection reliability.
