Trigonometric continuous-variable gates and hybrid quantum simulations of the sine-Gordon model

This paper introduces a new universality paradigm for hybrid qubit-qumode quantum computing based on trigonometric continuous-variable gates, demonstrating their effectiveness through a deterministic ancilla-based implementation and a successful simulation of the lattice sine-Gordon model, including ground state preparation, real-time dynamics, and kink profile extraction.

Field digitization scaling in a ZNU(1)\mathbb{Z}_N \subset U(1) symmetric model

This paper proposes a "field digitization scaling" framework that treats the number of discrete field values NN as a renormalization group coupling, successfully applying it to relate the 2D classical clock model to the XY model and its quantum gauge theory counterpart to enable continuum limit analysis in quantum simulations.

Exploring TΥΥT_{ΥΥ} tetraquark candidates in a coupled-channels formalism

Using a coupled-channels framework derived from a constituent quark model, this study predicts a rich spectrum of resonant and virtual TbbbˉbˉT_{bb\bar{b}\bar{b}} tetraquark candidates exhibiting heavy-quark spin symmetry multiplets, with specific guidance provided for their experimental detection through characteristic decay patterns and widths.

Constrained Symplectic Quantization: Disclosing the Deterministic Framework Behind Quantum Mechanics

This paper introduces Constrained Symplectic Quantization, a holomorphic reformulation of symplectic quantization that imposes constraints on intrinsic time Hamiltonian flow to resolve structural limitations and establish exact equivalence with the Feynman path integral, thereby enabling the accurate numerical sampling of real-time quantum observables as demonstrated on the quantum harmonic oscillator.

An update on the HVP contribution to gμ2g_μ{-}2 in isoQCD from ETMC

The Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration presents an updated determination of the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarisation contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment in isospin-symmetric QCD, utilizing five Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 gauge ensembles with near-physical pion masses and employing two distinct valence-quark regularisations to calculate both isovector and isoscalar components.

Emergent Gribov horizon from replica symmetry breaking in Yang--Mills theories

This paper demonstrates that the Serreau–Tissier replica sector in Yang–Mills theories can dynamically generate a Gribov–Zwanziger-type horizon functional through the expansion of the Faddeev–Popov determinant, thereby providing a microscopic mechanism for the emergence of the Gribov scale that yields either a Curci–Ferrari mass or a refined Gribov–Zwanziger decoupling propagator depending on the replica symmetry phase.

Scattering Processes from Quantum Simulation Algorithms for Scalar Field Theories

This paper presents optimized quantum simulation algorithms for scalar field theories using finite volume approaches and various fault-tolerant techniques, demonstrating that physically meaningful scattering process simulations are feasible with approximately 4 million physical qubits and $10^{12}$ T-gates, placing them within the reach of near-term quantum hardware capabilities comparable to leading chemistry simulations.

Quantum Theory of Functionally Graded Materials

Addressing the breakdown of Bloch's theorem in spatially varying composites, this paper establishes a foundational ab initio quantum theoretical framework for functionally graded materials that derives effective field equations for modulated Bloch states, revealing non-tensorial electromagnetic properties and enabling the predictive design of optimized electronic devices such as graded p-n junctions.

Imprints of UA(1)U_A(1) chiral anomaly and disorder in the Dirac eigenspectrum of QCD at finite temperature

This study utilizes lattice QCD simulations to analyze the Dirac eigenspectrum at finite temperature, revealing how intermediate level statistics and Thouless conductance serve as diagnostics for the interplay between chiral symmetry restoration and disorder-driven localization, particularly in the context of the effective restoration of the anomalous UA(1)U_A(1) symmetry.
