Stochastic Loop Corrections to Belief Propagation for Tensor Network Contraction

This paper introduces a hybrid stochastic method that achieves exact tensor network contraction by sampling loop corrections to Belief Propagation via Markov chain Monte Carlo, thereby eliminating systematic errors on loopy graphs while providing unbiased estimates with controllable statistical error across all parameter regimes.

The Transfer Tensor Method: an Analytical Study Case

This paper analytically investigates the Transfer Tensor Method using a solvable Jaynes-Cummings model to demonstrate that while the method's transfer tensors and the Nakajima-Zwanzig memory kernel converge in the continuous-time limit, they differ at finite time discretizations, revealing specific parameter regimes where non-Markovian dynamics can be effectively described as Markovian.

The robustness of composite pulses elucidated by classical mechanics. II. The role of initial state imperfection

This paper extends a classical canonical framework for analyzing composite pulse robustness to two-dimensional distributions of initial states on the Bloch sphere, demonstrating that while Levitt's $90(x)180(y)90(x)$ sequence remains largely robust against initial state imperfections, numerical optimization can identify variants that achieve superior coherent population inversion.

Extrapolative Quantum Error Mitigation in Continuous-Variable Systems beyond the Training Horizon

This paper introduces a time-conditioned Swin Transformer framework for continuous-variable quantum error mitigation that enables accurate state recovery in long-time regimes beyond the training horizon by explicitly embedding evolution time to capture continuous noise accumulation and nonlocal correlations.

Microwave response of electrically driven spins in a three-qubit quantum processor

This study demonstrates that electrically driven Loss-DiVincenzo spin qubits exhibit a linear Rabi frequency scaling with microwave drive amplitude even under simultaneous multi-qubit driving, thereby refuting the notion that previously observed nonlinearities are a general characteristic of such systems.

Parity-dependent Casimir forces and Hall currents for a confined Dirac field

This paper investigates a massless Dirac field confined between two parallel walls in d+1d+1 dimensions, demonstrating that the field's parity under midplane reflection determines whether the resulting Casimir force is attractive or repulsive and governs the symmetry of associated vacuum-induced currents, including a transverse Hall-like current in 2+1 dimensions.

Communication-constrained nonlocal correlations

This paper extends communication-based approaches to distinguish quantum theory from broader probabilistic frameworks by systematically characterizing relevant communication tasks and deriving new operational constraints that reveal a broad family of previously undetected implausible behaviors, thereby reinforcing communication as a fundamental lens for identifying physically meaningful theories.
