On the generalized eigenvalue problem in subspace-based excited state methods for quantum computers

This paper demonstrates that subspace-based excited state methods like QSE and qEOM suffer from severe instability due to the amplification of sampling errors by the condition number of the overlap matrix, whereas methods like q-sc-EOM that rely on standard eigenvalue equations offer a more robust and suitable alternative for quantum chemistry calculations on noisy quantum devices.

Quantum state tomography, entanglement detection and Bell violation prospects in weak decays of massive particles

This paper presents a general method for reconstructing the spin density matrix of multi-particle systems from angular decay data using Bloch parameterization and Wigner-Weyl transforms, and applies it to Monte Carlo simulations of massive particle decays to propose measurements for detecting entanglement and Bell inequality violations.

Capacity of Entanglement and Replica Backreaction in RST Gravity

This paper analytically computes the capacity of entanglement in the Russo-Susskind-Thorlacius (RST) model of two-dimensional dilaton gravity, revealing that while single-interval capacity remains time-independent, the global replica backreaction induces a time-dependent capacity for two intervals that signals non-uniform saddle competition and sharp features at the Page transition.

Sensing Low-Frequency Field with Rydberg Atoms via Quantum Weak Measurement

This paper demonstrates a quantum weak measurement scheme using Rydberg atom-based electromagnetically induced transparency that leverages probe laser polarization changes to suppress technical noise and achieve a sensitivity of 33 μcm-1 Hz-1/2\mu\text{V}~\text{cm}^\text{-1}~\text{Hz}^\text{-1/2} for low-frequency electric field sensing.

Probing mesoscopic nonlocal screening in van der Waals heterostructures with polaritons

This study reveals a mesoscopic nonlocal screening regime extending up to ~140 nm at buried interfaces in van der Waals heterostructures, demonstrating that phonon-polariton wavelength shifts provide a transferable metric for charge transfer that scales linearly with work-function differences and is governed by a lattice-mismatch energy threshold.

Recent advances in Ultralong-range Rydberg molecules

This review comprehensively outlines recent theoretical and experimental advances in diatomic Rydberg molecules, categorizing them by their binding mechanisms (ground-Rydberg, Rydberg-Rydberg, and ion-Rydberg) and detailing their formation, potential energy curves, experimental observations, and spectroscopic properties to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field.

Universal Family-Vicsek scaling in quantum gases far from equilibrium

This paper experimentally demonstrates that the universal Family-Vicsek scaling laws, originally established for classical surface growth, also govern the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum fluctuations in a one-dimensional Bose gas, thereby unifying the understanding of universality across classical and quantum systems.

High-optical-depth, sub-Doppler-width absorption lines at telecom wavelengths in hot, optically driven rubidium vapor

This paper demonstrates that dressing the intermediate state of a hot 87^{87}Rb vapor with a strong control field enables the observation of high-optical-depth, sub-Doppler-width absorption lines at telecom wavelengths, achieving a significant reduction in linewidth without the need for laser cooling.
