Goos-Hänchen Shift in $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric and Passive Cavity Optomechanical Systems
Shah Fahad, Gao Xianlong·Apr 2, 2026
We theoretically investigate the control of the Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) of a reflected weak probe field in both parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric and conventional optomechanical systems. The proposed scheme consists of a single optomechanical p...
A Differentiable Physical Framework for Goal-Driven Spin-State Engineering in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Gaocheng Fu, Shiji Zhang, Kai Huang +4 more·Apr 2, 2026
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) offers a unique non-invasive window into metabolic processes, yet its potential remains strictly constrained by severe spectral congestion and intrinsic insensitivity. Traditional pulse sequence design, tethered ...
Mechanism for scale-free skin effect in one-dimensional systems
Shu-Xuan Wang·Apr 2, 2026
Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is one of the most fascinating phenomena in non-Hermitian systems, which refers to enormous eigenstates localize at the boundary exponentially under open boundary condition (OBC). For typical NHSE, the localization le...
Quantum-Enhanced Processing with Tensor-Network Frontends for Privacy-Aware Federated Medical Diagnosis
Hiroshi Yamauchi, Anders Peter Kragh Dalskov, Hideaki Kawaguchi +1 more·Apr 2, 2026
We propose a privacy-aware hybrid framework for federated medical image classification that combines tensor-network representation learning, MPC-secured aggregation, and post-aggregation quantum refinement. The framework is motivated by two practical...
Scalable Ground-State Certification of Quantum Spin Systems via Structured Noncommutative Polynomial Optimization
Jie Wang, David Jansen, Irénée Frerot +3 more·Apr 2, 2026
A fundamental challenge in quantum physics is determining the ground-state properties of many-body systems. Whereas standard approaches, such as variational calculations, consist of writing down a wave function ansatz and minimizing over the possible...
Single-shot measurement learning as a self-certifying estimator for quantum-enhanced sensing
Jeongho Bang·Apr 2, 2026
Single-shot measurement learning (SSML) learns a compensation unitary from a one-bit success/failure record and halts after a prescribed run of consecutive successes. We recast SSML as an adaptive estimator on a parameterized sensing manifold and ask...
DQC1-completeness of normalized trace estimation for functions of log-local Hamiltonians
Zhengfeng Ji, Tongyang Li, Changpeng Shao +2 more·Apr 2, 2026
We study the computational complexity of estimating the normalized trace $2^{-n}Tr[f(A)]$ for a log-local Hamiltonian $A$ acting on $n$ qubits. This problem arises naturally in the DQC1 model, yet its complexity is only understood for a limited class...
Codimension-controlled universality of quantum Fisher information singularities at topological band-touching defects
C. A. S. Almeida·Apr 2, 2026
Topological phase transitions in generic multiband systems are mediated by band-touching defects whose codimension -- the number of momentum directions along which the gap closes linearly -- varies across universality classes. Although singular behav...
The Quantum Walk Characteristic Polynomial Distinguishes All Strongly Regular Graphs of Prime Orde
Diego Roldan·Apr 2, 2026
Let $G$ be a strongly regular graph of prime order $p$ with connection degree $k \geq 6$. We prove that the \emph{quantum walk characteristic polynomial} $χ_q(G,λ) \coloneqq \det(λI - U_G)$, where $U_G$ is the coined quantum walk operator on $G$, com...
Practical Tomography of Multi-Time Processes
Abhinash Kumar Roy, Varun Srivastava, Christina Giarmatzi +1 more·Apr 1, 2026
Characterising multi-time quantum processes is essential for analysing temporally correlated noise and for designing effective control and mitigation strategies. A complete operational description through multi-time process tomography requires an inf...
Twisted Fiber Bundle Codes over Group Algebras
Chaobin Liu·Apr 1, 2026
We introduce a twisted fiber-bundle construction of quantum CSS codes over group algebras \(R=\mathbb F_2[G]\), where each base generator carries a generator-dependent \(R\)-linear fiber twist satisfying a flatness condition. This construction extend...
Classical shadows with arbitrary group representations
Maxwell West, Frederic Sauvage, Aniruddha Sen +6 more·Apr 1, 2026
Classical shadows (CS) has recently emerged as an important framework to efficiently predict properties of an unknown quantum state. A common strategy in CS protocols is to parametrize the basis in which one measures the state by a random group actio...
Distributed Variational Quantum Linear Solver
Tong Shen, Zeru Zhu, Ji Liu·Apr 1, 2026
This paper develops a distributed variational quantum algorithm for solving large-scale linear equations. For a linear system of the form $Ax=b$, the large square matrix $A$ is partitioned into smaller square block submatrices, each of which is known...
Quantum polymorphism characterisation of commutativity gadgets in all quantum models
Eric Culf, Josse van Dobben de Bruyn, Peter Zeman·Apr 1, 2026
Commutativity gadgets provide a technique for lifting classical reductions between constraint satisfaction problems to quantum-sound reductions between the corresponding nonlocal games. We develop a general framework for commutativity gadgets in the ...
Resource Estimation via Efficient Compilation of Key Quantum Primitives
Colin Campbell, Rich Rines, Victory Omole +6 more·Apr 1, 2026
Resource estimation is a significant challenge in evaluating fault tolerant quantum computers. Existing approaches often rely on either fixed architectural assumptions or coarse analytical models that fail to capture the interaction between hardware ...
Programmable recirculating bricks mesh architecture for quantum photonics
Jacek Gosciniak·Apr 1, 2026
General-purpose programmable photonic processors offer a flexible foundation for integrating various functionalities within a single chip. A two-dimensional hexagonal waveguide mesh of Mach Zehnder interferometers has been shown to have great potenti...
Approximating the Permanent of a Random Matrix with Polynomially Small Mean: Zeros and Universality
Frederic Koehler, Pui Kuen Leung·Apr 1, 2026
We study algorithms for approximating the permanent of a random matrix when the entries are slightly biased away from zero. This question is motivated by the goal of understanding the classical complexity of linear optics and \emph{boson sampling} (A...
Constructing Fermionic Dynamics with Closed Moment Hierarchies
A. E. Teretenkov·Apr 1, 2026
We construct a broad class of completely positive maps and Go\-rini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan-Lindblad generators for fermionic systems induced by linear transformations of system and environment modes. For these maps, we derive explicit Heisenberg-pic...

Budhaditya Bhattacharjee, William. E. Salazar, Alexei Andreanov +1 more·Apr 1, 2026
We present an exact solution in the large-$N$ limit of the Lévy Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (LSYK) model introduced in Ref. [1], wherein the couplings are drawn from a Lévy Stable distribution parameterized by a tail exponent $μ\in [0, 2]$. Starting from the H...
