Decoder Performance in Hybrid CV-Discrete Surface-Code Threshold Estimation Using LiDMaS+

This paper demonstrates that decoder choice and estimator design significantly impact surface-code threshold inference, revealing that while Minimum-Weight Perfect Matching (MWPM) consistently outperforms Union-Find and is closely tracked by neural-guided variants in both standard Pauli and hybrid continuous-variable/discrete noise models, learned guidance introduces specific robustness concerns that must be reported alongside threshold curves.

Heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes

This paper introduces heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes that strategically arrange qubits with distinct error rates or biases to significantly boost error thresholds and logical performance, revealing that placing noisier qubits in the bulk or high-bias qubits on the boundary optimizes protection while exhibiting a surprising bias-inversion phenomenon.

Stationary Particle Creation and Entanglement in the Rotating Teo Wormhole: A Quantum Mode-Mixing Approach

This paper demonstrates that massless scalar fields in a rotating Teo wormhole undergo stationary particle creation and entanglement via geometrically induced, asymmetric vacuum mode mixing, which acts as a non-dynamical analogue of the Asymmetric Dynamical Casimir Effect driven by frame dragging rather than time-dependent boundaries.

Efficient construction of time-invariant process tensors for simulating high-dimensional non-Markovian open quantum systems

This paper introduces a modified infinite time-evolving block decimation (iTEBD) algorithm that constructs time-invariant process tensors with significantly improved computational scaling (O(d4)\mathcal{O}(d^4)) and reduced memory requirements, enabling the exact simulation of long-time, non-Markovian dynamics in high-dimensional open quantum systems previously considered numerically intractable.

Qubit Noise Sensing via Induced Photon Loss in a High-Quality Superconducting Cavity

This paper presents a novel technique for characterizing superconducting qubit frequency noise by converting it into photon loss within a coupled high-quality cavity, enabling the detection of high-frequency noise processes beyond the reach of conventional qubit-based spectroscopy through the use of a long-lived cavity photon and post-selected mid-circuit measurements.

For molecular polaritons, disorder and phonon timescales control the activation of dark states in the thermodynamic limit

This study employs a numerically exact hybrid MPS-HEOM approach to demonstrate that in disordered molecular polariton systems, phonon timescales and dynamic disorder govern the activation of dark states and determine the critical system size (NTN_T) required to reach the thermodynamic limit by suppressing collective light-matter dynamics.

Qronecker: A Certifiable Kronecker Compression Primitive for Quantum-Chemistry Hamiltonians

Qronecker is a certifiable, cut-aware low-rank Kronecker decomposition algorithm that operates in Pauli coefficient space to compress quantum-chemistry Hamiltonians without forming dense matrices, providing instance-specific compressibility curves and state-independent energy deviation bounds to guide adaptive rank and cut selection for efficient quantum processing.

Quantum criticality in sub-Ohmic systems with three competing terms: beyond conventional spin-boson physics

This paper systematically investigates quantum phase transitions in sub-Ohmic spin-boson systems with three competing terms using variational calculations, revealing a rich phase diagram that includes a novel U(1)-symmetric phase and a multi-stage transition sequence at low tunneling strengths, thereby extending beyond conventional spin-boson physics.
