Realistic Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill stabilizer states enable universal quantum computation

This paper demonstrates that realistic, noisy Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) stabilizer states, when combined with Gaussian operations and homodyne measurements, enable universal quantum computation by facilitating both high-fidelity Clifford gates and probabilistic non-Clifford gates within a measurement-based continuous-variable framework.

Effects of boundary conditions on quantum nanoresonators: decoherence-free subspaces

This paper demonstrates that semi-classical quantization of the Euler-Bernoulli beam model reveals a photonic Casimir effect and identifies that specific boundary conditions, particularly hinged-hinged, create degenerate or quasi-degenerate states that form decoherence-free subspaces or significantly reduce decoherence rates in thermal environments.

Estimating Detector Error Models on Google's Willow

This paper presents algorithms for estimating Detector Error Models (DEMs) directly from syndrome data without decoders, applying them to Google's Willow chips to reveal that while DEMs optimized for syndrome likelihood better predict unseen data, those optimized for logical performance serve as superior decoder priors, while also uncovering long-range correlated measurement errors and unmodeled artifacts like radiation events.

A Polylogarithmic-Time Quantum Algorithm for the Laplace Transform

This paper introduces a novel quantum algorithm that achieves a superpolynomial speedup over classical methods by performing the discrete Laplace transform on N×NN \times N matrices with polylogarithmic gate complexity O((logN)3)O((\log N)^3) and linear qubit width O(logN)O(\log N), utilizing Quantum Eigenvalue Transformation and Lap-LCHS to overcome the challenges of non-unitary dynamics.

Beyond spin-1/2: Multipolar spin-orbit coupling in noncentrosymmetric crystals with time-reversal symmetry

This paper develops a symmetry-adapted multipolar kp\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p} theory for noncentrosymmetric C3vC_{3v} crystals in the strong spin-orbit coupling limit, revealing that multipolar interactions for j>1/2j>1/2 reshape Fermi surfaces and create distinct total-angular-momentum textures that lead to nonmonotonic, enhanced Edelstein effects in heavy-element materials.

Black hole as a multipartite entangler: multi-entropy in AdS3{}_3/CFT2{}_2

This paper investigates multipartite entanglement in pure BTZ black hole states within AdS3_3/CFT2_2 using multi-entropy and Steiner trees, revealing a high-temperature volume-law scaling for genuine tripartite entanglement, a phase transition when a subsystem exceeds half the total size, and nontrivial radial cutoff dependencies that contrast with vacuum AdS3_3 behavior.

Bridging Microscopic Constructions and Continuum Topological Field Theory of Three-Dimensional Non-Abelian Topological Order

This paper systematically bridges the gap between continuum topological field theory and microscopic lattice constructions of three-dimensional non-Abelian topological orders by explicitly deriving fusion and shrinking rules for the D4\mathbb{D}_4 quantum double model, thereby establishing a precise correspondence with a BFBF field theory with an AABAAB twist and resolving long-standing skepticism regarding its microscopic realizability.

Interferometric discrepancy between the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon wave equations in the non-relativistic limit due to their dissimilar phase velocities

This paper identifies a fundamental incompatibility between the non-relativistic limits of the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations, demonstrating that the inclusion of rest energy in the latter leads to distinct phase velocities that cause unique wavefunction attenuation in Sagnac interferometers, a phenomenon absent in the former.

Hierarchy of quantum correlations in qubit-qutrit axially symmetric states

This paper investigates quantum correlations in an axially symmetric qubit-qutrit system and establishes a robustness hierarchy where Bell nonlocality is the most fragile, followed by entanglement (Negativity), while Measurement-Induced Non-locality (MIN) and Uncertainty-Induced Nonlocality (UIN) prove to be the most resilient resources against thermal noise and anisotropy.
