An Atomic Interface for High-Dimensional Temporal Mode Quantum Networks

This paper demonstrates a programmable high-dimensional temporal mode processor using a Raman quantum memory in warm cesium vapor, which enables on-demand storage, filtering, and conversion of orthogonal temporal waveforms to serve as a coherent interface between MHz- and GHz-bandwidth modes for scalable quantum networks.

Firewalls, black-hole thermodynamics, and singular solutions of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation

Zurek and Page investigate thermodynamic equilibrium of a self-gravitating perfect fluid surrounding a black hole using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation, discovering a singular solution where the fluid forms a high-density "firewall" near the Schwarzschild radius surrounding a negative point mass rather than a horizon, with entropy comparable to the Bekenstein-Hawking limit.

Observation of first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr resonator

This paper presents the first comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of both first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr superconducting resonator, characterizing critical dynamics such as hysteresis and symmetry breaking to validate Liouvillian spectral theory for engineering criticality in quantum information applications.

Universality in driven open quantum matter

This review surveys universality in driven open quantum matter, employing a Lindblad-Keldysh field theory framework to discuss principles distinguishing equilibrium from nonequilibrium stationary states and categorizing universal phenomena into paradigmatic nonequilibrium realizations, novel nonequilibrium universality, and genuinely quantum nonequilibrium effects.

Explicit decoders using fixed-point amplitude amplification based on QSVT

This paper presents two explicit quantum circuit decoders—the generalized Yoshida-Kitaev decoder and a Petz-like decoder—that utilize fixed-point amplitude amplification based on quantum singular value transformation to reliably recover quantum information from arbitrary noisy channels when the decoupling condition is satisfied, thereby achieving communication rates arbitrarily close to the quantum capacity with significantly reduced computational complexity compared to previous methods.

Quantum search by measurements assisted by pre-trained tensor network states for Hamiltonian simulations

This paper presents a hybrid quantum algorithm that leverages pre-trained Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) tensor network states to prepare high-overlap initial states for a von Neumann measurement-based quantum simulation, thereby efficiently estimating ground-state energies of complex many-body systems like quantum spin lattices and molecules.

Floquet dynamical chiral spin liquid at finite frequency

This paper demonstrates that a Dynamical Chiral Spin Liquid (DCSL) with Z2 topological order can be stabilized at finite driving frequencies on a square lattice, where the high-frequency Magnus expansion fails, by showing that the system remains in a stationary regime characterized by specific Floquet quasi-energy features and a tensor network representation with Z2 gauge symmetry, until a critical frequency is reached where heating and chaotic behavior ensue.

Transient concurrence for copropagating entangled bosons and fermions

This paper investigates the transient dynamics of copropagating entangled bosons and fermions using a modified quantum shutter model to derive a transient concurrence that structurally links entanglement signatures to Hanbury-Brown and Twiss interference patterns, ultimately demonstrating that stationary Wootters concurrence coincides with interferometric visibility.

Symmetric tensor scars with tunable entanglement from volume to area law

This paper introduces a class of non-integrable spin-1/2 Hamiltonians that host polynomially many exact zero-energy quantum many-body scars with tunable entanglement ranging from volume to area law, offering a new framework for robust long-distance quantum information transmission and the construction of correlated out-of-equilibrium quantum matter.
