Construction of the Complete Set of Maximally Entangled Basis Vectors for N-Qubit Systems

In this study, we first use a three-qubit system as an example to demonstrate the construction of quantum circuits for the eight maximally entangled basis vectors, subsequently extending the approach to N-qubit systems. We employ a random-number approach to generate maximally entangled basis vectors and their corresponding circuits, while also detailing the required number of single-qubit and CNOT gates. This approach not only provides a solid theoretical foundation but also establishes a practical technique for technological applications, bypassing the difficulty of storing large-scale encoding data.

A study on B-cell epitope prediction based on QSVM and VQC

This study investigates quantum computing's role in B-cell epitope prediction using Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC). It highlights the potential of quantum machine learning in bioinformatics, addressing computational efficiency limitations of traditional methods as data complexity grows. QSVM uses quantum kernel functions for data mapping, while VQC employs parameterized quantum circuits for classification. Results show QSVM and VQC achieving 70% and 73% accuracy, respectively, with QSVM excelling in balancing classes. Despite challenges like computational demands and hardware limitations, quantum methods show promise, suggesting future improvements with ongoing advancements.

Relativistic Quantum Simulation of Hydrogen Sulfide for Hydrogen Energy via Hybrid Quantum-Classical Algorithms

We present a relativistic quantum simulation framework for modeling hydrogen sulfide (H2S) decomposition relevant to hydrogen energy applications. The approach integrates Dirac-Coulomb relativistic quantum chemistry with the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), implemented on a hybrid quantum-classical architecture. Using quantum algorithms based on Jordan-Wigner encoding and relativistic integrals, we simulate ground-state energies and potential energy surfaces for H2, H2O, and H2S molecules. Results demonstrate that the relativistic VQE correctly reproduces known energy shifts and molecular trends. Optimizer performance, energy variance, and Pauli term complexity are also evaluated. The findings offer insight into scalable quantum simulations of chemically and physically significant systems involving heavy atoms.

Comparative Analysis of Quantum Support Vector Machines and Variational Quantum Classifiers for B-cell Epitope Prediction in Vaccine Design

Quantum computing offers new opportunities for addressing complex classification tasks in biomedical applications. This study investigates two quantum machine learning models-the Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and the Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC)-in the context of B-cell epitope prediction, a key step in modern vaccine design. QSVM builds upon the classical SVM framework by using quantum circuits to encode nonlinear kernel computations, while VQC replaces the entire classification pipeline with trainable quantum circuits optimized variationally. A benchmark dataset from the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB) is used for model evaluation. Each epitope is represented by 10 physicochemical features, and dimensionality reduction via Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to assess model performance across different feature spaces. We also examine the effect of sample size on prediction outcomes. Experimental results show that QSVM performs well under limited data conditions, while VQC achieves higher accuracy in larger datasets. These findings highlight the potential of quantum-enhanced models for bioinformatics tasks, particularly in supporting efficient and scalable epitope-based vaccine development.

Multi-stability and condensation of exciton-polaritons below threshold

Exciton-polaritons can condense to a macroscopic quantum state through a non-equilibrium process of pumping and decay. In recent experiments, polariton condensates are used to observe, for a short time, nonlinear Josephson phenomena by coupling two condensates. However, it is still not clear how these phenomena are affected by the pumping and decay at long times and how the coupling alters the polariton condensation. Here, we consider a polariton Josephson junction pumped on one side and study its dynamics within a mean-field theory. The Josephson current is found to give rise to multi-stability of the stationary states, which are sensitive to the initial conditions and incoherent noises. These states can be attributed to either the self-trapping effect or the parity-time (PT) symmetry of the system. These results can be used to explain the emission spectra and the $π$-phase locking observed in recent experiments. We further predict that the multi-stability can reduce to the self-trapped state if the PT symmetry is broken. Moreover, the polaritons can condense even below the threshold, exhibiting hysteresis.

A General Phase Matching Condition for Quantum Searching Algorithm

A general consideration on the phase rotations in quantum searching algorithm is taken in this work. As four phase rotations on the initial state, the marked states, and the states orthogonal to them are taken account, we deduce a phase matching condition for a successful search. The optimal options for these phase are obtained consequently.
