Visualization of Three-Qubit Pure States with Separation of Local and Nonlocal Degrees of Freedom
Satoru Shoji·Mar 9, 2026
Understanding the structure of multi-qubit quantum states is essential for both quantum information research and education, yet intuitive visualization beyond the single-qubit Bloch sphere remains challenging. In this work, we propose a unified geome...
Quantum information advantage based on Bell inequalities
Rahul Jain, Srijita Kundu·Mar 9, 2026
Recently, Kretschmer et al. [KGD+25] presented an experimental demonstration of a proposed quantum information advantage protocol. We present an alternate proposal based on a relation derived from parallel-repeated CHSH games. Our memory measure is b...
Formally Verifying Quantum Phase Estimation Circuits with 1,000+ Qubits
Arun Govindankutty, Sudarshan K. Srinivasan·Mar 9, 2026
We present a scalable formal verification methodology for Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) circuits. Our approach uses a symbolic qubit abstraction based on quantifier-free bit-vector logic, capturing key quantum phenomena, including superposition, rot...
Four-state discrimination for a pair of spin qubits via gate reflectometry
Aritra Sen, András Pályi·Mar 8, 2026
Single-electron spin qubits defined in quantum dots are used as building blocks of a semiconductor-based quantum computer. Readout in a scaled-up version of such a quantum computer is expected to rely on the Pauli Spin Blockade (PSB) mechanism. A des...
Lindbladian Learning with Neural Differential Equations
Timothy Heightman, Roman Aseguinolaza Gallo, Edward Jiang +3 more·Mar 8, 2026
Inferring the dynamical generator of a many-body quantum system from measurement data is essential for the verification, calibration, and control of quantum processors. When the system is open, this task becomes considerably harder than in the purely...
Deterministic Discrimination of Phase-Modified Permutation Oracles via Single Qubit Measurement
Owen Root·Mar 8, 2026
I study a promise problem for an unknown unitary operator acting on an $n$-qubit system. The operator is promised to take one of two forms: either it implements a fixed permutation of computational basis states, or it implements the same permutation ...
Gleason's theorem made simple: a Bloch-space perspective
Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi·Mar 8, 2026
Gleason's theorem is often cited as establishing the Born rule from the structure of Hilbert space, yet its original proof is mathematically sophisticated and rarely accessible to physicists. In this article we present a simple route to the essence o...
A Scalable Distributed Quantum Optimization Framework via Factor Graph Paradigm
Yuwen Huang, Xiaojun Lin, Bin Luo +1 more·Mar 8, 2026
Distributed quantum computing (DQC) connects many small quantum processors into a single logical machine, offering a practical route to scalable quantum computation. However, most existing DQC paradigms are structure-agnostic. Circuit cutting propose...
Sharpening Worst-Case Error Assessment for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing: Fidelity and Its Deviation
Kyoungho Cho, Ilkwon Sohn, Yongsoo Hwang +1 more·Mar 8, 2026
Gate fidelity -- an average fidelity over all possible input states -- is the workhorse metric for benchmarking quantum gates or circuits, yet fault-tolerant quantum computing ultimately depends on the worst-case behavior, typically quantifiable by s...
Qubit discretizations of d=3 conformal field theories
Hansen S. Wu, Ribhu K. Kaul·Mar 8, 2026
We propose that scaling dimensions of d=3 conformal field theories can be studied on a system of qubits with near term quantum simulation platforms. Our proposal chooses couplings of quantum many-body problems on a polyhedral lattice at which the con...
Efficiently Learning Global Quantum Channels with Local Tomography
Zidu Liu, Dominik S. Wild·Mar 7, 2026
Scalable characterization of quantum processors is crucial for mitigating noise and imperfections. While randomized measurement protocols enable efficient access to local observables, inferring a globally consistent description of multi-qubit process...
Qronecker: A Certifiable Kronecker Compression Primitive for Quantum-Chemistry Hamiltonians
Yuqi Zhang, Sixu Chen, Feixiong Cheng +1 more·Mar 7, 2026
Processing qubit Hamiltonians derived from electronic-structure problems can become classically prohibitive because many downstream manipulations still rely on dense operator constructions whose cost grows exponentially with qubit number. We introduc...
Qubit Noise Sensing via Induced Photon Loss in a Superconducting Cavity
Nitzan Kahn, Dror Garti, Uri Goldblatt +3 more·Mar 6, 2026
Characterizing noise in superconducting qubits is essential for improving coherence and gate performance. Conventional noise-sensing methods typically use the qubit itself as the sensor, which limits both accessible bandwidth and applicability during...
Heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes
Omid Khosravani, Guillermo Escobar-Arrieta, Kenneth R. Brown +1 more·Mar 6, 2026
We introduce heterogeneous quantum error-correcting codes composed of qubit types with distinct error channels and study their performance in the code-capacity regime using maximum-likelihood tensor network decoding. In the regime where both qubit ty...
Towards Studying Superconductivity in the Fermi-Hubbard Model on Rydberg Atoms
Kübra Yeter-Aydeniz, Nora M. Bauer·Mar 6, 2026
We present a method for calculating the ground state energy of the Fermi-Hubbard model leveraging Rydberg atom processors and sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD). By exploiting the perturbative relationship between the Fermi-Hubbard and Heisen...
Completeness for Prime-Dimensional Phase-Affine Circuits
Colin Blake·Mar 6, 2026
Equational reasoning about circuits is central in quantum software for validation, optimisation, and verification. For qubits, the CNOT-dihedral fragment supports efficient rewriting via phase polynomials and layered normal forms, yielding a complete...
A Scheduler for the Active Volume Architecture
Sam Heavey, Athena Caesura·Mar 6, 2026
We improve the accuracy of Active Volume resource estimates by explicitly scheduling when Active Volume blocks execute. We present software that uses a greedy strategy to assign each logical qubit a role in each logical cycle (e.g., workspace, stale ...
Leakage-protected idle operation of a triangular exchange-only spin qubit
Joseph D. Broz, Jesse C. Hoke, Edwin Acuna +1 more·Mar 6, 2026
We characterize the coherence of a triangular exchange-only (EO) spin qubit operated at a leakage-protected idle (LPI) point. The triangular geometry enables independent control of all three pairwise exchange interactions, and the LPI condition occur...
Vertical ion transport in a surface Paul trap: escalator and elevator approaches
Alexey Russkikh, Nikita Zhadnov·Mar 6, 2026
Surface ion traps confining and manipulating tens of ion qubits have become the leading platform for quantum processors with high quantum volume. These devices employ the Quantum Charge-Coupled Device (QCCD) architecture, wherein multiple trapping zo...
