Bayesian Gill-Massar Bound: An Attainable Lower Bound for Qubit Parameter Estimation
Ke-Han Zhao, Koichi Yamagata, Jun Suzuki·Jul 8, 2026
We study lower bounds for Bayesian quantum parameter estimation, with a particular focus on qubit models. While several lower bounds on the Bayes risk have been proposed, including the Bayesian symmetric logarithmic derivative (B-SLD) type bound and ...
Operator-frame geometry of non-compact quantum systems with frame-vacuum phase transitions
Satoshi Tanaka, Gonzalo Ordonez, Masatoshi Kubota +2 more·Jul 8, 2026
We formulate the geometric structure of non-compact bosonic quantum systems in regimes where vacuum instability renders the relevant quantum states non-normalizable, causing conventional state-space quantum geometry -- described by the Berry connecti...
Quantum Sampling Architecture for Protein Structure Reconstruction on Utility-Scale Hardware
Yuqi Zhang, Bo Fang, Yuxin Yang +6 more·Jul 8, 2026
Predicting the structure of short peptides in protein binding pockets remains difficult because this regime requires physics-based conformational search, yet existing methods do not provide a practical way to carry out that search on current hardware...
Tomography of a Macroscopic Quantum State influenced by Classical Self-Gravity
Wenjie Zhong, Yubao Liu, Yanbei Chen +2 more·Jul 8, 2026
Macroscopic optomechanical systems offer a promising testbed for distinguishing whether gravity acts as a quantum interaction or as a classical field. Schrodinger-Newton (SN) theory is the nonrelativistic limit of semi-classical gravity where quantum...
A quantum model for synchronizing finite state transition systems
Martin Lukac, Khaled El-Fakih, Uraz Turker·Jul 8, 2026
We propose a quantum model for finding a resetting input sequence (RS) which can take a finite state transition system (FA), to particular state independent of its current state. The complexity of finding such sequences for various types of FA can be...
Visualizing modified spin-wave wavefronts near magnetic defects and domains using nitrogen-vacancy centers
Wenxin Cheng, Chang Liu, Dekun Shen +12 more·Jul 8, 2026
Direct, real-space imaging of spin-wave propagation and wavefronts in magnetic materials is crucial for advancing both fundamental understanding of spin dynamics and the development of functional devices. This, however, remains a significant challeng...
First constraint on Born-rule violations at high-energy colliders
Antony Valentini, Mira Varma·Jul 8, 2026
We obtain an experimental constraint on possible Born-rule violations at high-energy colliders. We model Born-rule violations with differential scattering cross sections $dσ/dΩ$ subject to an angular smearing by a narrow Gaussian of width $\varepsilo...
Anyon-induced non-Hermitian topological phases
Yi-An Wang, Kun Ding, Linhu Li·Jul 8, 2026
We show that anyonic exchange statistics can activate non-Hermitian point-gap topology in models that are topologically trivial in its absence. The emergent topology oscillates more rapidly with the statistical phase as the anyon number increases, an...
Enhanced two-photon sources in a cavity-coupled two-atom system
Zhicai Chen, Jun Xu, Deyi Kong +2 more·Jul 8, 2026
We propose a component-selective scheme for improving two-photon sources in a cavity-coupled two-atom system, where a single cavity mode interacts with two two-level atoms driven by phase-controlled classical fields of the same frequency. By controll...
Correlation Localization in Waveguide QED with Delayed Interactions
N. Vera, F. M. Quinteros, P. Barberis-Blostein +1 more·Jul 8, 2026
We study the atom-atom correlation length in an atomic array coupled to a waveguide under the Bragg condition with delayed non-Markovian interactions caused by a finite photon propagation time. Starting from a single excited atom, the excitation part...
XOR Games at Full Tilt: The Hardness of Binary Nonlocal Games
Richard Cleve, Eric Culf, Aviv Taller·Jul 8, 2026
It is well known that the quantum value of an XOR nonlocal game, where the winning condition depends only on the XOR of the two players' output bits, may be approximated in polynomial time. We study a variant of the XOR game model, which we call tilt...
Phase transitions and uberholography of holographic pure-state geometries
Ning Bao, Keiichiro Furuya, Jacob March·Jul 8, 2026
We study the error-correcting properties of pure-state holographic geometries, in which mixed boundary subregions are replaced, via the surface/state correspondence, by the Ryu--Takayanagi (RT) geodesic bounding their entanglement wedges. In AdS$_3$/...
Explaining the magnitude of Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity via electron-electron exchange
Bence Csakany, Alex J. W. Thom·Jul 7, 2026
Chiral molecular structure can couple to electron spin, leading to unexpected spin polarization effects. This Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) was first reported for DNA molecules adsorbed on gold but its microscopic origin remains unclear. ...
A "squeezed polaron" variational wavefunction for the spin boson model
Diego Barberena, Nigel Cooper·Jul 7, 2026
The localization transition of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model generates boson bath correlations that are, at low frequencies, analytically inaccessible to standard coherent-state-polaron variational ansatzes. In this paper, we introduce a ``squeezed ...
How thermal is a filtered state?
Yilun Yang, J. Ignacio Cirac, Mari Carmen Bañuls·Jul 7, 2026
Quantum many-body states with sufficiently low energy variance can serve as approximations to thermal states, and they may be prepared by energy filtering simple pure states. In this work, we examine how narrow the filter width must be to guarantee t...
Universal spin-squeezing dynamics in spinor condensates
Nikolaos Giovanoudis, Navid Kazemiseresht, Fabio Mezzacapo +2 more·Jul 7, 2026
The production of large-scale entangled states is one of the main goals of next-generation quantum technologies, with an immediate potential for applications in the context of entanglement-assisted quantum sensing. A very promising platform to achiev...
Entanglement-assisted remote energy transfer
Bashir Mojaveri, Rasoul Jafarzadeh Bahrbeig, Mohammad Ali Fasihi +1 more·Jul 7, 2026
Currently, remote energy transfer and immunity to dissipation are hot topics in quantum batteries (QBs). In this work, we propose a protocol to realize energy transfer between two remote atoms (a quantum charger and a quantum battery) each coupled to...
Secret Key Rate Analysis of Distribution Matching Algorithms for Discrete-Modulated CV-QKD
Micael Dias, Caroline Alves, Gabrielly Roman +1 more·Jul 7, 2026
Continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols (CV-QKD) with discrete modulation have been intensively investigated to bridge the gap between ideal Gaussian modulation and modern coherent optical communication systems. To mitigate the penalty...
QANTIS: Hardware-Calibrated Sequential POMDP Belief Updates on IBM Heron
Bayram Yuksel Eker, Suayb S. Arslan, Ozgur Nazli +2 more·Jul 7, 2026
Autonomous systems under partial observability act on beliefs, not raw sensor events. QANTIS treats the quantum processor as a calibrated belief-update service in that loop: it receives a prior and an observation model, estimates the rare-event evide...
Feynman's clock and hierarchy-informed sampling for quantum error mitigation
Theo Saporiti·Jul 7, 2026
Near-term physical implementations of quantum algorithms require efficient quantum error mitigation schemes to reduce quantum noise. In this letter we propose a new mitigation technique, by extending the applicability of our BBGKY-ISM scheme from qua...
