Quantum backflow in biased tight-binding systems

This paper investigates the non-classical phenomenon of quantum backflow in biased tight-binding systems with complex couplings by analyzing various boundary conditions and lattice sizes to identify superpositions of positive momentum states that maximize the effect and determine the theoretical bounds on the total probability flowing opposite to the particle's momentum.

Lindbladian approach for many-qubit thermal machines: enhancing the performance with geometric heat pumping by interaction

This paper presents a Lindblad-based framework for analyzing slowly driven many-qubit thermal machines, demonstrating that geometric heat pumping can surpass the non-interacting Landauer-like bound through qubit interactions and asymmetric bath couplings, thereby offering a pathway to optimize the performance of driven quantum heat engines.

Optimization of Quadratic Constraints by Decoded Quantum Interferometry

This paper extends the Decoded Quantum Interferometry (DQI) algorithm to quadratic constraints (max-QUADSAT) by leveraging quadratic Gauss sums and introducing the quadratic-OPI problem to demonstrate quantum advantage, while providing a generalized semicircle law for performance guarantees, though the authors note that a discovered error in the state preparation step currently invalidates the main result pending a fix.

Expanding the Class of Free Fermions via Twin-Collapse Methods

This paper introduces a novel recursive twin-collapse algorithm based on graph theory that simplifies generic many-body Hamiltonians by identifying symmetric vertex pairs and line-graph modules, thereby expanding the class of models solvable as non-interacting free fermions and providing a generalized discrete Stone-von Neumann theorem for applications in quantum physics and computation.

High-expressibility Quantum Neural Networks using only classical resources

This paper demonstrates that the high expressibility of quantum neural networks can be efficiently replicated using purely classical resources, specifically through Clifford-enhanced matrix-product states (CMPS), which achieve rapid convergence to the Haar distribution in terms of entanglement and non-stabilizerness without requiring quantum hardware.

CONQURE: A Co-Execution Environment for Quantum and Classical Resources

This paper introduces CONQURE, an open-source co-execution framework that bridges the gap between quantum and classical computing by enabling seamless offloading of OpenMP quantum kernels to QPUs, efficient resource scheduling, and low-overhead result integration, demonstrated by achieving a 3.1X runtime reduction in parallelized VQE runs on an ion-trap device.

Can gravity mediate the transmission of quantum information?

This paper proposes an experiment using two isolated optomechanical systems to test the quantum nature of gravity by demonstrating that if a gravitationally induced optical channel can preserve entanglement (a phenomenon termed "gravitationally induced transparency"), then gravity itself must be non-classical, a conclusion reached without assuming a specific quantum gravity model.
