Ramsey correlation spectroscopy with phase cycling using a single quantum sensor

This paper introduces RESOLUTE, a novel Ramsey correlation spectroscopy protocol utilizing phase cycling and population imbalance storage that extends effective coherence time beyond the standard T2T_2^* limit, enabling the detection of low-frequency signals such as 13^{13}C nuclear spin precession in regimes previously inaccessible to single quantum sensors.

Matchgate circuit representation of fermionic Gaussian states: optimal preparation, approximation, and classical simulation

This paper establishes optimal lower bounds and explicit algorithms for preparing arbitrary fermionic Gaussian states using matchgate circuits, while also providing conditions for depth-constrained preparation, a new classical simulation method, and an extension to tt-doped states.

State-Selective Signatures of Quantum and Classical Gravitational Environments

This paper proposes a unified framework demonstrating that the structural difference in decoherence—specifically, the preservation of coherence within the lowest phonon-number manifold by a quantized graviton bath versus its inevitable destruction by a classical stochastic gravitational field—provides an operational criterion for distinguishing the quantum or classical nature of gravitational waves using mesoscopic optomechanical systems.

An Optimization Framework for Monitor Placement in Quantum Network Tomography

This paper proposes an optimization framework for Quantum Network Tomography that utilizes Integer Linear Programming to determine optimal monitor placements and measurement assignments, demonstrating that distributed end-node monitors can achieve estimation precision comparable to hub-based monitoring while preventing overloading through a joint accuracy-overhead objective.

Robust coherent control in non-Hermitian cavity electromagnonics using counterdiabatic driving

This paper proposes a robust and fast state transfer scheme in non-Hermitian cavity electromagnonics by combining counterdiabatic driving with Floquet engineering, demonstrating that this approach achieves higher transition efficiency and superior resilience against coupling and systematic errors compared to non-Hermitian shortcuts, particularly in the broken-symmetric regime.

Gaussian dynamics in the double Siegel disk

This paper establishes that multimode deterministic Gaussian channels admit a symmetric-space description on the double Siegel disk, where general channel dynamics are realized as linear-fractional (Möbius) actions on a single matrix representative, thereby unifying covariance-matrix channel theory with symmetric-space geometry and enabling simple composition rules for mixed Gaussian states.

Variational Quantum Algorithm for Constrained Combinatorial Optimization Problems

This paper introduces a novel Variational Quantum Algorithm that overcomes the limitations of existing penalty-based and ansatz-based methods for constrained combinatorial optimization by utilizing a strategically designed loss function to guarantee convergence to optimal feasible solutions while maintaining low hardware overhead through an efficient validation oracle.

Heterogeneous entanglement between a trapped ion and a solid-state quantum memory

This paper demonstrates a significant breakthrough in hybrid quantum networking by successfully entangling a single trapped ytterbium ion with a solid-state europium-doped quantum memory over a 75-meter distance, achieving a fidelity of 89.21% and violating the CHSH-Bell inequality to confirm nonlocality between heterogeneous quantum nodes.

Classical simulability of quantum circuits followed by sparse classical post-processing

This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the classical simulability of polynomial-size quantum circuits followed by sparse classical post-processing and demonstrates that constant-depth variants of such circuits can be efficiently simulated by a probabilistic algorithm using commuting quantum circuits with bounded gate complexity.
