Topological phase transition of deformed Z3{\mathbb Z}_3 toric code

This paper investigates the topological phase transitions of a deformed Z3\mathbb{Z}_3 toric code by mapping its wavefunction norm to classical partition functions, revealing a rich phase diagram with three distinct phases separated by critical lines characterized by Z3\mathbb{Z}_3 and Z4\mathbb{Z}_4 parafermion conformal field theories, as well as isolated critical points exhibiting Hilbert space fragmentation and quantum many-body scars.

Reconfigurable Superconducting Quantum Circuits Enabled by Micro-Scale Liquid-Metal Interconnects

This paper demonstrates that gallium-based liquid-metal interconnects enable high-performance, non-destructive, and reconfigurable modular superconducting quantum circuits by maintaining microwave quality across thermal cycles and module replacements while revealing specific kinetic inductance and power-dependent loss characteristics.

Random layers for quantum optimal control with exponential expressivity

This paper introduces RALLY methods, which utilize parametrized pulse sequences composed of random constant-amplitude pulses grouped into layers to achieve exponential convergence to the Haar-random ensemble, thereby enabling quantum optimal control with an information-theoretic minimum of optimization parameters that significantly outperforms existing algorithms.

Quantum Sensing of Birefringence Beyond the Classical Limit with a Hyper-Entangled SU(1,1) Interferometer

This paper proposes and theoretically analyzes a hyper-entangled SU(1,1) interferometer scheme that utilizes crossed-polarization nonlinear media to detect minute birefringence with a sensitivity enhancement of 3–15 dB beyond the classical shot-noise limit, even under realistic conditions of gain and internal loss.

Time delocalization and causality across temporal quantum reference frames

This paper investigates the interplay between temporal localization and causality across different quantum reference frames, demonstrating that a consistent operational notion of causality across multiple clocks requires modeling interventions within the constraint equation, a framework that naturally accommodates temporal delocalization and indefinite causal order.

Universal Non-stabilizerness Dynamics Across Quantum Phase Transitions

This paper extends the study of quantum non-stabilizerness to time-dependent drivings across quantum phase transitions, demonstrating that stabilizer Rényi entropies and Pauli spectrum cumulants exhibit universal power-law scaling with driving rates and that the Pauli spectrum follows a lognormal distribution, as validated by exact and analytical results in the transverse-field Ising and long-range Kitaev models.
