Efficiently Learning Global Quantum Channels with Local Tomography

This paper introduces an efficient local-to-global reconstruction framework that combines local shadow tomography with convex optimization to characterize multi-qubit quantum channels, proving that sample complexity scales polynomially with system size under the assumption of exponentially decaying correlations and demonstrating accurate recovery of global diagnostics for systems up to 50 qubits.

\textit{Ab Initio} Adiabatic Potential Energy Surfaces and Non-adiabatic Couplings for O3_3: Construction of Four State Diabatic Hamiltonian

This paper presents highly accurate *ab initio* adiabatic potential energy surfaces and non-adiabatic couplings for the four low-lying singlet states of ozone, constructed using advanced multi-reference methods to reproduce experimental dissociation energies and frequencies, locate conical intersections, and provide a four-state diabatic Hamiltonian free of "reef" features.

Quantum-to-semiclassical Husimi dynamics of non-Hermitian localization transitions

This paper investigates non-Hermitian quasiperiodic localization transitions using semiclassical Husimi dynamics and finds that, unlike their Hermitian counterparts, the critical points do not universally align with classical phase-space predictions due to a sensitive dependence on the irrational parameter, though a faithful classical-quantum mimicry can still be achieved within specific parameter regimes and finite time windows.

Long-time storage of entangled logical states in decoherence-free subspaces

This paper demonstrates the achievement of approximately one-hour storage lifetimes for two-qubit entangled logical states encoded in the decoherence-free subspaces of four cryogenic ions, utilizing crosstalk-free sympathetic cooling and multi-state detection to suppress errors and validate the advantages of second-order DFS against spatially nonuniform noise.

Hybrid light-matter excitations and spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in two-dimensional Josephson Junctions

This paper investigates the inductive coupling between a quantum LC resonator and a graphene-based Josephson junction, revealing that the system's current-phase relation can exhibit spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking and predicting the low-energy spectrum of hybridized light-matter excitations.

Impact of Layer Structure and Strain on Morphology and Electronic Properties of InAs Quantum Wells on InP (001)

This study investigates how layer structure and strain influence the electronic properties and surface morphology of InAs/InGaAs quantum wells on InP (001), revealing that layer design dictates mobility anisotropy, excessive thickness triggers quantum well collapse, and quantum confinement significantly affects band nonparabolicity.

Optimal multiparameter quantum estimation in accelerating Unruh-DeWitt detectors

This paper establishes the ultimate precision limits for simultaneously estimating the Unruh temperature and initial-state parameters in bipartite accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors, demonstrating that while Markovian dissipation degrades estimation, non-Markovian memory effects and classical noise correlations can mitigate these losses or even enhance precision through information backflow.

Sharpening Worst-Case Error Assessment for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing: Fidelity and Its Deviation

This paper introduces "fidelity deviation" as a companion metric to gate fidelity, demonstrating that together they provide a tight, experimentally accessible certificate for worst-case errors in fault-tolerant quantum computing, thereby addressing the limitations of average fidelity in the presence of coherent errors.
