Learning Relationship between Quantum Walks and Underdamped Langevin Dynamics
Yazhen Wang·Jan 4, 2026
Fast computational algorithms are in constant demand, and their development has been driven by advances such as quantum speedup and classical acceleration. This paper intends to study search algorithms based on quantum walks in quantum computation an...
Utilizing intermediate states in quantum annealing for multi-objective optimization
Keita Takahashi, Shu Tanaka·Jan 4, 2026
We investigate obtaining intermediate quantum states during the quantum annealing process to address the limitation of the linear weighted sum method in multi-objective optimization, which inherently fails to reach non-convex regions of the Pareto fr...
Time-Dependent Hamiltonian Simulation in the Low-Energy Subspace
Shuo Zhou, Zhaokai Pan, Weiyuan Gong +1 more·Jan 4, 2026
Hamiltonian simulations are key subroutines in adiabatic quantum computation, quantum control, and quantum many-body physics, where quantum dynamics often happen in the low-energy sector. In contrast to time-independent Hamiltonian simulations, a com...
Non-Hermitian second-order topological insulator with point gap
Xue-Min Yang, Hao Lin, Jian Li +3 more·Jan 4, 2026
The zero-mode corner states in the gap of two-dimensional non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model are robust to infinitesimal perturbations that preserve chiral symmetry. However, we demonstrate that this general belief is no longer valid in large-s...
Overcoming Stark-Shift Constraints in Phase-Controlled Rydberg Two-Qubit Gates
Ignacio R. Sola, Sebastian C. Carrasco, Vladimir S. Malinovsky +2 more·Jan 4, 2026
Stark shifts introduce additional phases that constrain the set of entangling gates that can be prepared via two-photon transitions in the strong Rydberg blockade limit. For non-independently addressed qubits, by controlling the absolute phases and t...
Entropy and Variance Squeezing of V-type Atom in Dissipative Cavity
Zijin Liang, Qiying Pan, Hong-Mei Zou +1 more·Jan 4, 2026
Based on Ref.\cite{Riccardi A}, we investigate the entropy and variance squeezing of a V-type atom in a dissipative cavity, and discuss the influences of parameters including the spontaneously generated interference (SGI) ($θ$), the cavity-environmen...
Constraint-Aware Quantum Optimization via Hamming Weight Operators
Yajie Hao, Qiming Ding, Xiao Yuan +1 more·Jan 4, 2026
Constrained combinatorial optimization with strict linear constraints underpins applications in drug discovery, power grids, logistics, and finance, yet remains computationally demanding for classical algorithms, especially at large scales. The Quant...
The Equivalence between Hardy-type paradox and Logical Contextuality
Songyi Liu, Yongjun Wang, Baoshan Wang +2 more·Jan 4, 2026
Hardy-type paradoxes offer elegant, inequality-free proof of quantum contextuality. In this work, we introduce a unified logical formulation for general Hardy-type paradoxes, which we term logical Hardy-type paradoxes. We prove that for any finite sc...
Implicitly Restarted Lanczos Enables Chemically-Accurate Shallow Neural Quantum States
Wei Liu, Wenjie Dou·Jan 4, 2026
The variational optimization of high-dimensional neural network models, such as those used in neural quantum states (NQS), presents a significant challenge in machine intelligence. Conventional first-order stochastic methods (e.g., Adam) are plagued ...
Noise-Resilient Heisenberg-limited Quantum Sensing via Indefinite-Causal-Order Error Correction
Hang Xu, Xiaoyang Deng, Ze Zheng +2 more·Jan 4, 2026
Quantum resources can, in principle, enable Heisenberg-limited (HL) sensing, yet no-go theorems imply that HL scaling is generically unattainable in realistic noisy devices. While quantum error correction (QEC) can suppress noise, its use in quantum ...
Distant Entanglement Generation between Magnon and Superconducting Qubits in Magnon-Mediated Hybrid Systems
Guosen Liu, Pei Pei·Jan 4, 2026
We propose an efficient two-stage protocol for generating distant entanglement in a magnon-mediated hybrid quantum system, where magnons serve dual roles as both interaction mediators and qubits. This integrated design reduces the physical component ...
Soliton Thouless pumping engineered by inter-site nonlinearities
Tao Jiang, Li-Chen Zhao·Jan 4, 2026
We study soliton Thouless pumping in an extended diagonal Aubry-André-Harper model with on-site nonlinearities and inter-site nonlinearities. We show that the inter-site nonlinearities can make solitons acquire anomalous transport distances far beyon...
Benchmarking Quantum Data Center Architectures: A Performance and Scalability Perspective
Shahrooz Pouryousef, Eneet Kaur, Hassan Shapourian +3 more·Jan 4, 2026
Scalable distributed quantum computing (DQC) has motivated the design of multiple quantum data-center (QDC) architectures that overcome the limitations of single quantum processors through modular interconnection. While these architectures adopt fund...
Quantum Kaczmarz Algorithm for Solving Linear Algebraic Equations
Nhat A. Nghiem, Tuan K. Do, Trung V. Phan·Jan 4, 2026
We introduce a quantum linear system solving algorithm based on the Kaczmarz method, a widely used workhorse for large linear systems and least-squares problems that updates the solution by enforcing one equation at a time. Its simplicity and low mem...
Bond Additivity and Persistent Geometric Imprints of Entanglement in Quantum Thermalization
Chun-Yue Zhang, Shi-Xin Zhang, Zi-Xiang Li·Jan 4, 2026
Characterizing the intricate structure of entanglement in quantum many-body systems remains a central challenge, as standard measures often obscure underlying geometric details. In this Letter, we introduce a powerful framework, termed multi-bipartit...
Hilbert space signatures of non-ergodic glassy dynamics
Aleksey Lunkin, Nicole S. Ticea, Shashwat Kumar +292 more·Jan 4, 2026
Disorder in quantum many-body systems can drive transitions between ergodic and non-ergodic phases, yet the nature--and even the existence--of these transitions remains intensely debated. Using a two-dimensional array of superconducting qubits, we st...
