Experimental demonstration of the absence of noise-induced barren plateaus using information content landscape analysis

This paper experimentally demonstrates on IBM quantum hardware that noise-induced barren plateaus do not necessarily occur, as gradient magnitudes saturate rather than decay exponentially due to T1T_1-dominated non-unital noise, challenging the assumption that noise universally hinders variational quantum algorithms.

Klein--Gordon oscillator with linear--fractional deformed Casimirs in doubly special relativity

This paper investigates the Klein-Gordon oscillator within a doubly special relativity framework featuring linear-fractional deformed Casimirs, deriving exact spectra and eigensolutions for timelike, spacelike, and lightlike deformations while establishing a pseudo-Hermitian formulation and comparing the spectral shifts to the Magueijo-Smolin model.

Decoder Performance in Hybrid CV-Discrete Surface-Code Threshold Estimation Using LiDMaS+

This paper demonstrates that decoder choice and estimator design significantly impact surface-code threshold inference, revealing that while Minimum-Weight Perfect Matching (MWPM) consistently outperforms Union-Find and is closely tracked by neural-guided variants in both standard Pauli and hybrid continuous-variable/discrete noise models, learned guidance introduces specific robustness concerns that must be reported alongside threshold curves.

Heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes

This paper introduces heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes that strategically arrange qubits with distinct error rates or biases to significantly boost error thresholds and logical performance, revealing that placing noisier qubits in the bulk or high-bias qubits on the boundary optimizes protection while exhibiting a surprising bias-inversion phenomenon.
