Quantum information measures of the Dirichlet and Neumann hyperspherical dots

Abstract

$\mathtt{d}$-dimensional hyperspherical quantum dot with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions (BCs) allows analytic solution of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation in position space and the Fourier transform of the corresponding wave function leads to the analytic form of its momentum counterpart too. This paves the way to an efficient computation in either space of Shannon, R\'{e}nyi and Tsallis entropies, Onicescu energies and Fisher informations; for example, for the latter measure, some particular orbitals exhibit simple expressions in either space at any BC type. A comparative study of the influence of the edge requirement on the quantum information measures proves that the lower threshold of the semi-infinite range of the dimensionless R\'{e}nyi/Tsallis coefficient where one-parameter momentum entropies exist is equal to $\mathtt{d}/(\mathtt{d}+3)$ for the Dirichlet hyperball and $\mathtt{d}/(\mathtt{d}+1)$ for the Neumann one what means that at the unrestricted growth of the dimensionality both measures have their Shannon fellow as the lower verge. Simultaneously, this imposes the restriction on the upper value of the interval $[1/2,\alpha_R)$ inside which the R\'{e}nyi uncertainty relation for the sum of the position $R_\rho(\alpha)$ and wave vector $R_\gamma\left(\frac{\alpha}{2\alpha-1}\right)$ components is defined: $\alpha_R$ is equal to $\mathtt{d}/(\mathtt{d}-3)$ for the Dirichlet geometry and to $\mathtt{d}/(\mathtt{d}-1)$ for the Neumann BC. Some other properties are discussed from mathematical and physical points of view. Parallels are drawn to the corresponding properties of the hydrogen atom and similarities and differences are explained based on the analysis of the associated wave functions.

Probing the Error-Mitigation Threshold with Matrix Product States

Quantum error mitigation relies on accurate noise characterization, but mismatches between the actual and characterized noise can be amplified and drive a sharp threshold between successful and failed mitigation. In random circuits, this threshold maps onto a random-field Ising transition, but previous exact numerics were limited to small one-dimensional and all-to-all systems, leaving explicit two-dimensional architectures unresolved. We develop a fixed-bond-dimension matrix-product-state method for the replicated transfer dynamics that extends threshold calculations beyond exact propagation while retaining the finite-size signatures of the transition. At system sizes beyond previous exact studies, we recover the predicted absence of a threshold for quenched disorder in 1D, obtain a sharper annealed all-to-all critical point, and resolve architecture-dependent finite-depth thresholds in 2D square and heavy-hex circuits. These results establish replicated tensor-network dynamics as a practical tool for probing error-mitigation thresholds in large and higher-dimensional noisy circuits.

Low-cost algorithm-to-execution framework for surface-code quantum computing

The execution of useful quantum algorithms on fault-tolerant processors requires more than a mapping from logical gates to encoded operations: the spatial organization, non-Clifford resource supply, and execution schedule must also be determined while keeping physical overhead within practical limits. Although the theoretical hierarchy from logical circuits to fault-tolerant operations is well established, these implementation choices are often specified and optimized separately. Here we develop a low-cost algorithm-to-execution framework for surface-code quantum computing. From hierarchical algorithm descriptions, it constructs dependency-preserving logical schedules and an executable workload capturing logical interactions, operation parallelism, and time-resolved non-Clifford demand, thereby linking logical computation to surface-code organization, resource-state preparation, and fault-tolerant execution in a traceable workflow. We apply the framework to twenty benchmark circuits across seven algorithm families and a hierarchically composed application-scale elliptic-curve discrete-logarithm workload. Physical costs vary substantially even for circuits with similar logical resource counts. Under our direct-rotation calibration, non-Clifford implementation selection reduces space-time volume by up to 241.5 times versus an all-synthesis baseline for the QAOA amplitude-amplification workload. Circuit-specific surface-code layouts reduce routed-latency estimates for all twenty benchmarks; thirteen also reduce space-time volume because communication savings outweigh added spatial overhead. These results show that low-cost fault-tolerant execution depends on computation scheduling and organization, not aggregate logical resource counts alone.

Sample-optimal learning of stabilizer states

It is well-known that learning a pure $n$-qubit stabilizer state $|\psi\rangle$ both requires, and can be accomplished with, access to a number of copies of $|\psi\rangle$ linear in $n$. However, the precise constant coefficient of this scaling does not appear to have been determined. Here we prove that $L_\delta(n)$, the smallest number of copies from which a quantum procedure can identify any stabilizer state with failure probability at most $0<\delta<1/8$, satisfies $n+\lceil\log_2(1/\delta)\rceil-3\leq L_\delta(n)\leq n+\left\lceil\log_2(1/\delta)\right\rceil+4$. We present a polynomial-time quantum learning algorithm that saturates this bound, achieving a constant factor improvement in sample-complexity over previously known approaches. As an immediate corollary, we obtain via the Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism an algorithm for learning an unknown $n$-qubit Clifford unitary from $2n+\left\lceil\log_2(1/\delta)\right\rceil+4$ queries, the $n$-dependence of which we show to be optimal. Our proof technique, which involves Fourier analysis on the abelian group $\mathbb{Z}_4^n \times \mathbb{F}_2^{n(n-1)/2}$, seems to be qualitatively different to previous approaches to stabilizer state learning, and may be of some independent interest; in particular, it admits natural generalisations to further problems in quantum learning theory.
