Paper

A geometrical description of non-Hermitian dynamics: speed limits in finite rank density operators

Niklas Hörnedal, Oskar A. Prośniak, Adolfo del Campo, and Aurélia Chenu,

Quantum 9, 1729 (2025).

Non-Hermitian dynamics in quantum systems preserves the rank of the state density operator. Using this insight, we develop a geometric framework to describe its time evolution. In particular…

Paper

Hierarchical memories: Simulating quantum LDPC codes with local gates

Christopher A. Pattison, Anirudh Krishna, and John Preskill,

Quantum 9, 1728 (2025).

Constant-rate low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are promising candidates for constructing efficient fault-tolerant quantum memories. However, if physical gates are subject to geometric-l…

Paper

Improving the efficiency of learning-based error mitigation

Piotr Czarnik, Michael McKerns, Andrew T. Sornborger, and Lukasz Cincio,

Quantum 9, 1727 (2025).

Error mitigation will play an important role in practical applications of near-term noisy quantum computers. Current error mitigation methods typically concentrate on correction quality at t…

Paper

Partitioned Quantum Subspace Expansion

Tom O’Leary, Lewis W. Anderson, Dieter Jaksch, and Martin Kiffner,

Quantum 9, 1726 (2025).

We present an iterative generalisation of the quantum subspace expansion algorithm used with a Krylov basis. The iterative construction connects a sequence of subspaces via their lowest ener…

Paper

Measuring quantum relative entropy with finite-size effect

Masahito Hayashi,

Quantum 9, 1725 (2025).

We study the estimation of relative entropy $D(\rho\|\sigma)$ when $\sigma$ is known. We show that the Cramér-Rao type bound equals the relative varentropy. Our estimator attains the Cramér-Rao…

Paper

Efficient separate quantification of state preparation errors and measurement errors on quantum computers and their mitigation

Hongye Yu and Tzu-Chieh Wei,

Quantum 9, 1724 (2025).

Current noisy quantum computers have multiple types of errors, which can occur in the state preparation, measurement/readout, and gate operation, as well as intrinsic decoherence and relaxat…

Paper

Fault-tolerant structures for measurement-based quantum computation on a network

Yves van Montfort, Sébastian de Bone, and David Elkouss,

Quantum 9, 1723 (2025).

In this work, we introduce a method to construct fault-tolerant $\textit{measurement-based quantum computation}$ (MBQC) architectures and numerically estimate their performance over various ty…

Paper

SuperGrad: a differentiable simulator for superconducting processors

Ziang Wang, Feng Wu, Hui-Hai Zhao, Xin Wan, and Xiaotong Ni,

Quantum 9, 1722 (2025).

One significant advantage of superconducting processors is their extensive design flexibility, which encompasses various types of qubits and interactions. Given the large number of tunable p…

Paper

Doubly Quantum Mechanics

Vittorio D’Esposito, Giuseppe Fabiano, Domenico Frattulillo, and Flavio Mercati,

Quantum 9, 1721 (2025).

Motivated by the expectation that relativistic symmetries might acquire quantum features in Quantum Gravity, we take the first steps towards a theory of ''Doubly'' Quantum Mechanics, a modif…

Paper

The Foliage Partition: An Easy-to-Compute LC-Invariant for Graph States

Adam Burchardt and Frederik Hahn,

Quantum 9, 1720 (2025).

This paper introduces the foliage partition, an easy-to-compute LC-invariant for graph states, of computational complexity $\mathcal{O}(n^3)$ in the number of qubits. Inspired by the foliage o…

Paper

Quantum dynamics as a pseudo-density matrix

James Fullwood,

Quantum 9, 1719 (2025).

While in relativity theory space evolves over time into a single entity known as spacetime, quantum theory lacks a standard notion of how to encapsulate the dynamical evolution of a quantum…

Paper

Alternatives of entanglement depth and metrological entanglement criteria

Szilárd Szalay and Géza Tóth,

Quantum 9, 1718 (2025).

We work out the general theory of one-parameter families of partial entanglement properties and the resulting entanglement depth-like quantities. Special cases of these are the depth of part…

Paper

Lower Bounds for Unitary Property Testing with Proofs and Advice

Jordi Weggemans,

Quantum 9, 1717 (2025).

In unitary property testing a quantum algorithm, also known as a tester, is given query access to a black-box unitary and has to decide whether it satisfies some property. We propose a new t…

Paper

$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric mapping of three states and its implementation on a cloud quantum processor

Yaroslav Balytskyi, Yevgen Kotukh, Gennady Khalimov, and Sang-Yoon Chang,

Quantum 9, 1716 (2025).

$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems have garnered significant attention due to their unconventional properties. Despite the growing interest, there remains an ongoing debate about whether these s…

Paper

Bures geodesics and quantum metrology

Dominique Spehner,

Quantum 9, 1715 (2025).

We study the geodesics on the manifold of mixed quantum states for the Bures metric. It is shown that these geodesics correspond to physical non-Markovian evolutions of the system coupled to…

Paper

Optimal sampling of tensor networks targeting wave function’s fast decaying tails

Marco Ballarin, Pietro Silvi, Simone Montangero, and Daniel Jaschke,

Quantum 9, 1714 (2025).

We introduce an optimal strategy to sample quantum outcomes of local measurement strings for isometric tensor network states. Our method generates samples based on an exact cumulative boundi…
