Temporal-Mode Engineering for Multiplexed Microwave Photons and Mode-Selective Quantum State Transfer

This paper experimentally demonstrates the generation and mode-selective absorption of single microwave photons in four orthogonal temporal modes using a fixed-frequency transmon qubit, achieving high absorption efficiencies for matched modes while maintaining orthogonality for rejected photons, thereby validating temporal-mode engineering as a viable strategy for multiplexed quantum networks.

Optical quantum teleportation with known amplitude distorting factors of teleported qubits

This paper proposes a hybrid continuous-discrete variable quantum teleportation protocol for unknown optical single-rail qubits that, while not always perfect, enables Bob to either recover the original state or utilize it with known amplitude distortions by leveraging increased classical communication to identify the specific unitary transformations applied.

Topological robustness of orbital angular momentum entanglement in stochastic channels

This paper demonstrates that while orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement is highly susceptible to degradation in stochastic channels like atmospheric turbulence, an underlying topological observable remains robustly preserved even in mixed, decoherent states, offering a new pathway for maintaining quantum information in noisy environments.

Self-testing with untrusted random number generators

This paper demonstrates that all pure bipartite partially entangled states can be self-tested even when the random number generator used for Bell test settings is untrusted, provided it satisfies a residual randomness constraint weaker than full independence, thereby enabling semi-device-independent certification of the randomness source's independence from the quantum device.

Probing the ergodicity breaking transition via violations of random matrix theoretic predictions for local observables

This paper demonstrates that violations of random matrix theory predictions for local observables, specifically regarding quantum Fisher information dynamics and fluctuation-dissipation relations, can serve as effective witnesses for detecting ergodicity-breaking transitions in quantum many-body systems across integrability, many-body localization, and quantum many-body scars.

Universal purification dynamics in real non-unitary quantum processes

This paper investigates the universal purification dynamics in monitored non-unitary quantum processes across different random-matrix symmetry classes by employing two complementary toy models—discrete-time Gaussian matrix multiplication and continuous-time Dyson Brownian motion—to derive explicit expressions for the universal decay of Rényi entropies and validate these theoretical predictions through numerical simulations.
