Robust Superradiance and Spontaneous Spin Ordering in Disordered Waveguide Quantum Electrodynamics

This paper demonstrates through large-scale simulations and analytical estimates that superradiance in disordered waveguide quantum electrodynamics remains robust against strong spatial and spectral disorder, driven by a spontaneous self-organization of spins that optimizes constructive interference and leads to mirror-asymmetric correlations.

Boundaries of Acceptable Defectiveness: Redefining Surface Code Robustness under Heterogeneous Noise

This paper introduces a simulation framework using STIM to demonstrate that superconducting qubits with physical error rates up to 0.75 can be retained in surface code lattices without significantly degrading logical performance, thereby redefining defectiveness as a spectrum rather than a binary failure state and providing actionable metrics for hardware designers.

Mapping the positions of Two-Level-Systems on the surface of a superconducting transmon qubit

This paper presents a method to map the individual positions of surface two-level-systems (TLS) on a superconducting transmon qubit by utilizing local electric fields from on-chip gate electrodes, revealing that TLS density is significantly enhanced near the Josephson junction leads rather than the larger capacitor area, thereby guiding future qubit design and fabrication improvements.

Entanglement and correlations between local observables in de Sitter spacetime

Challenging previous conclusions that curvature enhances entanglement, this paper demonstrates that while increasing curvature in de Sitter spacetime strengthens correlations between local field modes, it paradoxically decreases their entanglement, revealing a qualitative alteration of the vacuum's entanglement structure by the cosmological constant.

Unified Bulk-Entanglement Correspondence in Non-Hermitian Systems

This paper resolves the crisis of bulk-boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian systems by establishing a universal, robust identity between non-Bloch polarization and the entanglement polarization of a quasi-reciprocal Hamiltonian, thereby identifying entanglement as the unique real-space diagnostic capable of capturing non-Bloch topology even when conventional locality-based invariants fail.

Spectral form factor and power spectrum for trapped interacting rotating bosons: Crossover from integrability to quantum chaos

This study utilizes exact diagonalization of spectral form factors and power spectra to demonstrate how trapped interacting rotating bosons transition from integrable or pseudo-integrable behavior in moderate interaction regimes to strong quantum chaos consistent with the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble in strong interaction regimes, driven by the interplay between interaction strength and rotational angular momentum.

Sufficient conditions for the Kadison--Schwarz property of unital positive maps on M3M_3

This paper derives explicit analytic sufficient conditions for the Kadison--Schwarz property of unital positive linear maps on M3M_3 by utilizing the Bloch--Gell--Mann representation and su(3)\mathfrak{su}(3) Lie algebra structure to reduce the problem to estimates involving only the symmetric tensor dijkd_{ijk}, thereby establishing criteria weaker than complete positivity without relying on numerical optimization.
