Fermi-pressure-assisted cavity superradiance in a mesoscopic Fermi gas

This study demonstrates that a mesoscopic Fermi gas in a high-finesse cavity exhibits a non-monotonic superradiant threshold driven by a crossover between Fermi pressure-assisted ordering and Pauli blocking, while also enabling the observation of spin-density-wave phases through spin-dependent light-induced forces.

A note on large-scale quantum chemistry on quantum computers: the case of a molecule with half-Möbius topology

This paper demonstrates that state-of-the-art superconducting quantum processors, utilizing the SqDRIFT algorithm, can reliably simulate the electronic structure of a half-Möbius topology molecule with active spaces up to 50 orbitals (100 qubits), marking a significant step toward practical large-scale quantum chemistry applications.

Approximate QCAs in one dimension using approximate algebras

This paper demonstrates that in one dimension, every approximate quantum cellular automaton on a finite system can be rounded to an exact quantum cellular automaton with nearly identical local action, thereby proving that approximate QCAs are classified by the same index as exact ones through a novel local construction based on robust subalgebra intersections and Kitaev's rigidity theorem.

The Power of Shallow-depth Toffoli and Qudit Quantum Circuits

This paper establishes new separations between shallow quantum and classical constant-depth circuits, demonstrates that QNC0\mathsf{QNC}^0 with infinite gate sets can implement threshold gates to equal QTC0\mathsf{QTC}^0, and shows that higher-dimensional qudit circuits offer no computational advantage over standard qubit implementations in this infinite-size setting.

Frustrated Rydberg Atom Arrays Meet Cavity-QED: Emergence of the Superradiant Clock Phase

Using large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations, this study reveals that infinite-range light-matter interactions in frustrated Rydberg atom triangular arrays lift ground-state degeneracy to induce a novel superradiant clock phase, replacing fragile classical order-by-disorder with a first-order transition driven by nonzero photon density and nonlocal ring exchange interactions.

Probing Quantum Anomalous Hall States in Twisted Bilayer WSe2 via Attractive Polaron Spectroscopy

This study provides the first direct evidence of a tunable Quantum Anomalous Hall state with spontaneous ferromagnetism in twisted bilayer WSe2 by utilizing polarization-resolved attractive polaron spectroscopy to observe time-reversal symmetry breaking and confirm a Chern number of C=1.
