Universal and Efficient Quantum State Verification via Schmidt Decomposition and Mutually Unbiased Bases

This paper proposes a universal and efficient protocol for verifying arbitrary multipartite pure quantum states using adaptive local projective measurements based on Schmidt decomposition and mutually unbiased bases, achieving a dimension-independent sample complexity upper bound and constant verification costs for Haar-random states even in adversarial scenarios.

Configurable photonic simulator for quantum field dynamics

This paper introduces the Optical Time Algorithm (OTA), a flexible framework that utilizes a single, reconfigurable optical circuit to efficiently simulate diverse free quantum field dynamics—including varying coupling geometries, spacetime metrics, and boundary conditions—thereby overcoming the rigidity of traditional experimental setups and paving the way for tabletop investigations of quantum field theories.

Thermodynamic coprocessor for linear operations with input-size-independent calculation time based on open quantum system

This paper proposes an analog thermodynamic coprocessor based on open quantum systems that performs parallel vector-matrix multiplications with stochastic matrices in a time independent of input size by encoding inputs as reservoir occupancies and reading outputs as stationary energy flows, while establishing a direct mapping between these quantum dynamics and electrical crossbar structures.

Transfer of entanglement from nonlocal photon to non-Gaussian CV states

This paper proposes a mechanism to transfer quantum entanglement from a nonlocal photon to non-Gaussian continuous variable states, demonstrating that while the process is probabilistic with standard squeezed vacuum states, it can be made nearly deterministic (>98% probability) by utilizing single-photon-subtracted states, thereby offering an optimal trade-off between success probability and output brightness for quantum applications.

Quantum error correction beyond SU(2)SU(2): spin, bosonic, and permutation-invariant codes from convex geometry

This paper establishes a unified framework based on convex geometry and SU(q)SU(q) representations to construct and inter-convert quantum error-correcting codes across permutation-invariant, bosonic, and nuclear state spaces, yielding new families with near-linear distance scaling and improved parameters through the application of Tverberg's theorem and Sidon sets.

Study of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra with the multi-modal multi-level quantum complex exponential least squares algorithm

This paper demonstrates that the multi-modal, multi-level quantum complex exponential least squares (MM-QCELS) algorithm significantly enhances the efficiency and resolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral analysis by extracting accurate spectral features with up to an order of magnitude fewer signal evaluations compared to conventional Fourier transform methods.
