Relativistic Quantum Thermometry in AdS Spacetime via Non-Markovian Temperature Sensing
Anass Hminat, Abdallah Slaoui, Rachid Ahl Laamara·Jul 8, 2026
Quantum thermometry based on single-qubit sensor configurations enables the precise estimation of the temperature of a cosmological Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. In this work, we characterize the achievable estimation accuracy using the Quantum Fis...
Does Born Rule Imply Unitarity of Time Evolution in Quantum Mechanics?
Ali Mostafazadeh·Jul 8, 2026
The Born rule for computing probabilities of the outcomes of measurements is an indispensable ingredient of quantum mechanics. The standard textbook description of this rule gives the impression that it implies the unitarity of time evolution. This v...
Entanglement Asymmetry in Random Quantum Automata
Olalla A. Castro-Alvaredo, Dávid Szász-Schagrin, Michele Mazzoni·Jul 8, 2026
We investigate the subsystem entanglement asymmetry in random quantum automaton ensembles, which are generated by permuting the basis states in the Hilbert space and applying global phase shifts. We compute the ensemble average of the $U(1)$ subsyste...
RubriQ: Rubric-Guided Group Relative Policy Optimization for Constraint-Aware Quantum Circuit Synthesis
Ziqing Guo, Ziwen Pan·Jul 8, 2026
Designing fault-tolerant quantum circuits that are both algorithmically correct and hardware compatible remains a major bottleneck in the transition to scalable quantum computing. We introduce RubriQ, a scalable framework that formulates circuit synt...
RL-Guided Quantum-ALNS for Constrained VRP
Farzan Moosavi, Bilal Farooq·Jul 8, 2026
This study develops a hybrid quantum-classical framework for constrained vehicle routing problems, focusing on the pickup-and-delivery problem with time windows. Instead of casting the full routing problem as a stand-alone quantum optimization task, ...
Control Protocols for Entangling Gates for Group-IV Color-Centers in Diamond
Jurek Frey, Frank K. Wilhelm, Matthias M. Müller·Jul 8, 2026
Accurately controlling entangling gates remains a major challenge for quantum technology applications with solid-state spin qubits. Here, we study a group-IV color-center with a strongly-coupled nuclear spin and approach the problem from a quantum co...
QR-SPPS: Quantum-Native Retail Shock Propagation and Policy Stress Simulator
Sumit Tapas Chongder·Jul 8, 2026
Classical supply chain risk models treat node failures as statistically independent events, systematically underestimating correlated cascade failures across multi-tier supplier networks. We present QR-SPPS (Quantum-Native Retail Shock Propagation an...
Variational Learning with Sparse Long-range Entangling Gates
Helene M. Lösl, Aydin Deger, Andrew J. Daley·Jul 8, 2026
The performance of variational quantum algorithms depends in general on the structure of the parametrized quantum circuit, but the most common ansätze are typically based on local couplings. Motivated by the extended connectivity available with neutr...
An analytical solution of a quantum system with non-Markovian behavior: The Bixon-Jortner system in time domain
Osman Cevheroğlu, Arkadaş Özakın·Jul 8, 2026
Non-Markovian behavior in quantum systems is often studied in the context of bipartite systems consisting of a system of interest and an environment -- tracing over the environment results in non-Markovian behavior for the subsystem of interest. One ...
Towards Minimax Estimation of High-Order Functionals by Quantum Arguments
Qisheng Wang·Jul 8, 2026
We propose a novel approach to the minimax estimation of high-order functionals from the perspective of quantum computing. Specifically, for any real number $α\gg 1$, we present two estimators, one for the classical functional $\mathrm{F}_α(P) = \sum...
A Dynamic Multiplexing Policy for a Quantum Repeater
Jeroen Grimbergen, Sounak Kar, Michal van Hooft +2 more·Jul 8, 2026
We consider a multiplexed quantum repeater that distributes entanglement between two end nodes. Multiplexing is achieved through optical integration of many quantum chips. Each chip hosts an optically addressable communication qubit and a separate me...
Comment on 'Quantum Monge-Kantorovich Problem and Transport Distance between Density Matrices'
Tomasz Miller·Jul 8, 2026
Friedland et al. [PRL 129, 110402 (2022)] proposed and studied a quantum analogue of the $p$-Wasserstein distance based on quantum cost matrices and quantum couplings. They conjectured that, despite being only a semidistance in general, this quantity...
The NISQ Trap: Eight Years of Demonstrations the Hardware Was Built to Lose
Amit Hagar·Jul 8, 2026
With a single clear exception, every NISQ-era flagship demonstration of 'quantum advantage' has, within eighteen months of its announcement, been classically reproduced, shown to rest on classically tractable structure, or closed by a simulability th...
Spin Textures and Eigenstate Evolution of Isospectrally Patterned Lattices
Peter Schmelcher·Jul 8, 2026
Isospectrally patterned lattices exhibit a composite band structure with a tunable ratio of localized versus delocalized eigenstates that is controlled by the underlying phase gradient. We show that the lattice Hamiltonian can be interpreted as that ...
Turing mechanisms in a multimode open quantum system
Giorgia Comparato, Francesco Gargano, Rosario Lo Franco·Jul 8, 2026
We investigate pattern formation in a finite chain of bosonic modes whose dynamics is governed by a Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) master equation. The model combines local parametric driving and nonlinear damping with nonlocal dissipat...
Phase-Programmable Free Electron Quantum States in Synthetic Momentum Space
Alatz Alvarez-Ahedo, Miriam Lazo, Tian-Niu Xu +3 more·Jul 8, 2026
Light-electron interactions generate synthetic momentum-space dynamics that can be used to engineer free electron quantum states. Here we develop coherent control protocols in which the optical phase acts as the controllable hopping phase of a Floque...
LLM Assisted Verification Assertion Generation: Challenges and Future Directions
Bhabesh Mali, Chandan Karfa·Jul 8, 2026
Assertion-based Verification (ABV) plays a critical role in the Design Verification (DV) process. However, ABV requires substantial manual effort in generating assertion from specification by verification engineers, making it a time-consuming stage i...
Efficiency-Induced Freezing in Quantum-State Purification
Jiaxin Liu, Zuoxian Wang, Feng Li +1 more·Jul 8, 2026
Any nonzero detection loss qualitatively changes feedback-controlled purification under diffusive monitoring. In every finite dimension, we prove a sharp, dimension-independent ceiling on the decay of trajectory-averaged impurity moments, uniformly o...
Image classification via a quantum-inspired strategy involving a mixture of experts
Kumari Jyoti, Rohith Babu, Apoorva D. Patel·Jul 8, 2026
Pattern recognition problems arise in a variety of physical image processing situations, and convolutional neural networks are a popular scheme for the required feature extraction and classification tasks. The classical networks use diffusion-based s...
Circuit Depth Reduction of One-Ancilla Quantum Differential Equation Solver via Extrapolation
Di Fang, Justin Park·Jul 8, 2026
Solving linear differential equations is a fundamental task in scientific computing and an important primitive for quantum computing. A recent one-ancilla quantum differential equation solver provides a hardware-friendly and locality-preserving appro...
