Two bases suffice for QMA1-completeness
Henry Ma, Anand Natarajan·Sep 29, 2025
We introduce a basis-restricted variant of the Quantum-k-SAT problem, in which each term in the input Hamiltonian is required to be diagonal in either the standard or Hadamard basis. Our main result is that the Quantum-6-SAT problem with this basis r...
SQuaD: Smart Quantum Detection for Photon Recognition and Dark Count Elimination
Karl C. Linne, Sho Uemura, Yue Ji +5 more·Sep 29, 2025
Quantum detectors of single photons are an essential component for quantum information processing across computing, communication and networking. Today's quantum detection system, which consists of single photon detectors, timing electronics, control...
Magnon squeezing near a quantum critical point in a cavity-magnon-qubit system
Gang Liu, Gen Li, Rong-Can Yang +2 more·Sep 29, 2025
Preparing magnon nonclassical states is a central topic in the study of quantum magnonics. Here we propose to generate magnon squeezed states in a hybrid cavity-magnon-qubit system by engineering an effective Rabi-type magnon-qubit interaction. This ...
Probabilistic Graybox Characterization of Quantum Devices with Bayesian Neural Networks
Poramet Pathumsoot, Michal Hajdušek, Rodney Van Meter·Sep 29, 2025
While the Graybox characterization method allows for implicit noise models and is platform-agnostic, the method lacks uncertainty quantification. Characterization of quantum devices is a crucial process that enables researchers to gain insight from e...
Continuous Wave Quantum Detection and Ranging with quantum heterodyne detection
Ming-Da Huang, Zhan-Feng Jiang, M. Hunza +6 more·Sep 29, 2025
In the continuous-wave Detection and Ranging technology, simultaneous and accurate range and velocity measurements of an unknown target are typically achieved using a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) with a heterodyne receiver. The high tim...
Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm: Performance on Simulators and Quantum Hardware
Abyan Khabir Irfan, Chansu Yu·Sep 29, 2025
Running quantum circuits on quantum computers does not always generate "clean" results, unlike on a simulator, as noise plays a significant role in any quantum device. To explore this, we experimented with the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorit...
Non-Gaussian Quantum State Engineering with Postselected von Neumann Measurements
Xiao-Xi Yao, Yusuf Turek·Sep 29, 2025
We introduce a feasible protocol for generating non-Gaussian (nG) states via postselected von Neumann measurement for continuous-variable quantum information processing. The method uses a two-level system coupled to a Gaussian pointer state through a...
Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking of higher-form non-invertible symmetries in Kitaev's quantum double model
Zijian Song, Jian-Hao Zhang·Sep 29, 2025
Topological orders can be understood as spontaneous symmetry breaking of higher-form symmetries. In the non-Abelian case, the broken higher-form symmetries are notably non-invertible. In this work, we extend this framework to mixed states, where symm...
Hyperbolic Floquet code with graph-edge syndromes
Hideyuki Ozawa, Isamu Kudo, Yuki Takeuchi +1 more·Sep 28, 2025
Quantum error correction would be a primitive for demonstrating quantum advantage in a realistic noisy environment. Floquet codes are a class of dynamically generated, stabilizer-based codes in which low-weight parity measurements are applied in a ti...
Comparison of Hyperplane Rounding for Max-Cut and Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm over Certain Regular Graph Families
Reuben Tate, Swati Gupta·Sep 28, 2025
There is a strong interest in finding challenging instances of NP-hard problems, from the perspective of showing quantum advantage. Due to the limits of near-term NISQ devices, it is moreover useful if these instances are small. In this work, we iden...
Path Integral Quantum Control for Quantum Chemistry Applications
Peyman Najafi, Aarón Villanueva, Hilbert Kappen·Sep 28, 2025
The Path integral Quantum Control (PiQC) algorithm was recently introduced by Villanueva et al. (2025) as a new approach for computing optimal controls in open and closed quantum systems. Originally proposed for pulse-based quantum control, PiQC esti...
Genuine multipartite entanglement detection with mutually unbiased bases (MUBs)
Sumit Nandi·Sep 28, 2025
In the present paper, a novel framework to detect genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) has been presented by computing correlations in mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). It has been shown that correlation obtained by measuring in MUBs of all bisepara...
The Aharonov-Casher theorem on a line
Lucas Sourrouille·Sep 28, 2025
In this note, we care to study the degeneracy of the zero modes for a spin-$1/2$ charged particle in a one-dimensional space. We analyze the arguments proposed by Aharonov and Casher in a two-dimensional space. In two dimensions the zero energy state...
From Quasiperiodicity to a Complete Coloring of the Kohmoto Butterfly
Ram Band, Siegfried Beckus·Sep 28, 2025
The spectra of the Kohmoto model give rise to a fractal phase diagram, known as the Kohmoto butterfly. The butterfly encapsulates the spectra of all periodic Kohmoto Hamiltonians, whose index invariants are sought after. Topological methods - such as...
Exponential Advantage from One More Replica in Estimating Nonlinear Properties of Quantum States
Qi Ye, Zhenhuan Liu, Dong-Ling Deng·Sep 28, 2025
Inferring nonlinear features of quantum states is fundamentally important across quantum information science, but remains challenging due to the intrinsic linearity of quantum mechanics. It is widely recognized that quantum memory and coherent operat...
Fractional Control Gate Protocols For Quantum Engines
Elliot John Fox, Taysa Mendes de Mendonça, Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler +1 more·Sep 28, 2025
Nth-root gates allow for a paced application of two-qubit operations. We apply them in quantum thermodynamic protocols for operating a quantum heat engine. A set of circuits for two and three qubits are compared by considering maximum work production...

We present the first fully ab initio calculations of collision-induced broadening and shift of spectral lines in antiprotonic helium ($\bar{p}$He$^{+}$) perturbed by atomic helium. To overcome critical limitations of previous studies, we construct a ...
Evaluating noises of boson sampling with statistical benchmark methods
Yang Ji, Yongjin Ye, Qiao Wang +5 more·Sep 28, 2025
The lack of self-correcting codes hiders the development of boson sampling to be large-scale and robust. Therefore, it is important to know the noise levels in order to cautiously demonstrate the quantum computational advantage or realize certain tas...
