Many-Body Effects in Dark-State Laser Cooling
Muhammad Miskeen Khan, David Wellnitz, Bhuvanesh Sundar +5 more·Jan 14, 2026
We develop a unified many-body theory of two-photon dark-state laser cooling, the workhorse for preparing trapped ions close to their motional quantum ground state. For ions with a $Λ$ level structure, driven by Raman lasers, we identify an ion-numbe...
Transient fields in oblique scattering from an infinite planar dielectric interface -- a qubit lattice simulation
Min Soe, George Vahala, Linda Vahala +3 more·Jan 14, 2026
An initial value algorithm is utilized to examine the time dependent evolution of the electromagnetic fields arising from oblique scattering of bounded pulses from an infinite planar dielectric interface. Since the qubit lattice algorithm (QLA) is al...
Distributed Exact Quantum Amplitude Amplification Algorithm for Arbitrary Quantum States
Xu Zhou, Wenxuan Tao, Keren Li +1 more·Jan 14, 2026
In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, distributed quantum computation has garnered considerable interest, as it overcomes the physical limitations of single-device architectures and enables scalable quantum information processing. In th...
A saturation-absorption rubidium magnetometer with multilevel optical Bloch-equation modeling for intermediate-to-high fields
Mayand Dangi, Prateek Rajan Gupta, Joseph Kasti +5 more·Jan 14, 2026
We present SASHMAG (Saturated Absorption Spectroscopy High-field MAGnetometer), an atomic sensor designed for precision magnetic-field measurements in the intermediate-to-high field regime ($>0.2\,\text{T}$) using Rubidium-87 ($^{87}Rb$). The sensor ...
Mechanistic principles of exciton-polariton relaxation
Ian Haines, Arshath Manjalingal, Logan Blackham +2 more·Jan 14, 2026
Exciton-polaritons are light-matter hybrid quasi-particles that have emerged as a flexible platform for developing quantum technologies and engineering material properties. However, the fundamental mechanistic principles that govern their dynamics an...
Impact of control signal phase noise on qubit fidelity
Agata Barsotti, Paolo Marconcini, Gregorio Procissi +1 more·Jan 13, 2026
As qubit decoherence times are increased and readout technologies are improved, nonidealities in the drive signals, such as phase noise, are going to represent a crucial limitation to the fidelity achievable at the end of complex control pulse sequen...
Quantifying the Relationship Between Strain and Bandgap in Thin Ga$_2$Se$_2$
Lottie L. Murray, Eric Herrmann, Igor Evangelista +3 more·Jan 13, 2026
We present a rigorous analysis that combines theory, simulation, and experimental measurements to quantify the relationship between strain and bandgap in two dimensional gallium selenide (Ga$_2$Se$_2$). Experimentally, we transfer thin Ga$_2$Se$_2$ f...
Enhancing classical simulation with noisy quantum devices
Ruiqi Zhang, Fuchuan Wei, Zhaohui Wei·Jan 13, 2026
As quantum devices continue to improve in scale and precision, a central challenge is how to effectively utilize noisy hardware for meaningful computation. Most existing approaches aim to recover noiseless circuit outputs from noisy ones through erro...
Local Magnetometry from Measurement-Induced Dissipation
Rishith Reddy, Parveen Kumar, Ankur Das·Jan 13, 2026
Magnetic phases are commonly identified through macroscopic magnetization, yet many ordered states, including antiferromagnets and altermagnets, possess a vanishing net moment despite distinct local spin structure. We show that such an order can be a...
Attosecond quantum optics
Mohamed Sennary, Javier Rivera-Dean, Yihe Wange +2 more·Jan 13, 2026
Modern quantum optics primarily operates in the quasistationary regime, isolated from the intrinsic timescales of ultrafast optical fields. Pushing these boundaries into the femtosecond and attosecond domains is a critical frontier. Here, we generate...
Open quantum spin chains with non-reciprocity: a theoretical approach based on the time-dependent generalized Gibbs ensemble
Alice Marché, Hironobu Yoshida, Alberto Nardin +2 more·Jan 13, 2026
We study an open quantum spin chain with non-reciprocal dissipation using a theoretical approach known as time-dependent generalized Gibbs ensemble. In the regime of weak dissipation the system is fully characterized by its rapidity distribution and ...
Symmetry-Adapted State Preparation for Quantum Chemistry on Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers
Viktor Khinevich, Wataru Mizukami·Jan 13, 2026
We present systematic and resource-efficient constructions of continuous symmetry projectors, particularly $U(1)$ particle number and $SU(2)$ total spin, tailored for fault-tolerant quantum computations. Our approach employs a linear combination of u...

Andreas Conta, Santiago Bogino, Frodo Köhncke +2 more·Jan 13, 2026
Scalable trapped-ion quantum computing requires fast and reliable transport of ions through complex, segmented radiofrequency trap architectures without inducing excessive motional excitation. We present a numerical toolchain for the systematic gener...

Kazuhiro Seki, Yuta Kikuchi, Tomoya Hayata +1 more·Jan 13, 2026
We demonstrate a dissipative protocol for ground-state preparation of a quantum spin chain on a trapped-ion quantum computer. As a first step, we derive a Kraus representation of a dissipation channel for the protocol recently proposed by Ding et al....
Cost scaling of MPS and TTNS simulations for 2D and 3D systems with area-law entanglement
Thomas Barthel·Jan 13, 2026
Tensor network states are an indispensable tool for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. In recent years, tree tensor network states (TTNS) have been successfully used for two-dimensional systems and to benchmark quantum s...
