Hardware-Free Polarization Stabilization for Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution via Correlated Twirling

Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) provides unconditional security against detector vulnerabilities, but its practical deployment is severely hindered by asymmetric channel turbulence. Fluctuations in optical fibers induce arbitrary polarization drift, degrading Hong-Ou-Mandel interference and forcing extensive calibration downtime. In this work, we propose a hardware-free polarization stabilization technique utilizing a Correlated Twirling protocol based on a unitary 2-design. By applying a synchronized, public twirling supermap, Alice and Bob mathematically transform deterministic, asymmetric geometric rotations into an isotropic Pauli depolarizing channel. Executed entirely as a virtual post-processing step during classical sifting, this protocol mathematically suppresses intrinsic channel noise by a factor of 2/3. We demonstrate through exact quantum state simulations that this induced symmetry neutralizes catastrophic axis-dependent failures, extending the Y-bias tolerance from 0.68 to 0.84 radians. Furthermore, the protocol passively extends the absolute angular misalignment tolerance for the 11% security threshold from $38.7^\circ$ to $47.9^\circ$, sustaining secure key distillation over extended fiber distances in highly turbulent regimes where standard architectures fail. Inherently compatible with decoy-state weak coherent pulses, this algorithmic approach provides a highly scalable, resource-efficient framework for robust long-distance quantum networks.

Entanglement signature of fully and partially dimerized phases in frustrated spin chains

The von Neumann entanglement entropy of exact valence-bond ground states is studied in two frustrated one-dimensional spin chains: the spin-1/2 Majumdar-Ghosh (MG) model and the spin-3/2 J1-J2-J3 chain in its fully dimerized (FD) and partially dimerized (PD) phases. Using matrix-product-state representations, the entropy is computed as a function of system size for three complementary bipartitions - half-chain, single-site, and pairwise - under both open and periodic boundary conditions. In all cases, the entropy saturates to a finite constant in the thermodynamic limit, confirming area-law behavior. The saturation values, extracted via finite-size scaling, are directly related to the underlying virtual-spin bond structure. The MG model and FD phase exhibit similar entanglement behavior, differing primarily in saturation magnitude determined by spin value and bond multiplicity, and both display even-odd oscillations and exponential convergence with system size. In contrast, the PD phase shows qualitatively distinct signatures, including multiple half-chain saturation values depending on the bond type at the cut, asymmetric edge contributions in the single-site entropy, and a multi-band structure in the pairwise entropy reflecting the coexistence of single- and double-singlet bonds. These results establish entanglement entropy as a robust signature of frustrated bond architecture, enabling clear distinction among dimerized phases with different spin magnitude, bond multiplicity, and dimerization patterns.

Fisher Information Measures under Lattice Combined Paul Trap

We examine how the informational properties of a confined single ion response in a Paul trap modified by optical-lattice. We focus on the ground and first excited motional states and show that Fisher information, Shannon entropy, and Fisher-Shannon complexity track the effective frequency $\omega_{\mathrm{eff}}=\omega\sqrt{1-\kappa}$ of the potential. We show that the Fisher information and Shannon entropy reflect an effective frequency-driven redistribution of information between conjugate spaces. Our results show that the Fisher-Shannon complexity measure remains invariant under effective frequency control. The invariance demonstrates that optical modulation of $\kappa$ rescales localization, without altering the harmonic structure of the motional states. These results establish a controlled information-theoretic baseline for lattice-assisted Paul traps. Beyond the harmonic limit, retaining the quartic lattice correction introduces non-Gaussian wavefunction features through state-dependent mixing of higher eigenstates, which breaks the mutual compensation between Fisher information and Shannon entropy that sustains the invariant. The departure of $P'$ from its harmonic reference value intensifies with $\kappa$ and is stronger for the excited state, which confirms that the Fisher-Shannon complexity invariance is a distinctive property of the small-oscillation harmonic regime.

Quantum Phase Estimation Algorithm for Finding Polynomial Roots

Quantum algorithm is an algorithm for solving mathematical problems using quantum systems encoded as information, which is found to outperform classical algorithms in some specific cases. The objective of this study is to develop a quantum algorithm for finding the roots of nth degree polynomials where n is any positive integer. In classical algorithm, the resources required for solving this problem increase drastically when n increases and it would be impossible to practically solve the problem when n is large. It was found that any polynomial can be rearranged into a corresponding companion matrix, whose eigenvalues are roots of the polynomial. This leads to a possibility to perform a quantum algorithm where the number of computational resources increase as a polynomial of n. In this study, we construct a quantum circuit representing the companion matrix and use eigenvalue estimation technique to find roots of polynomial.

Calculating Unknown Eigenvalues with a Quantum Algorithm

Quantum algorithms are able to solve particular problems exponentially faster than conventional algorithms, when implemented on a quantum computer. However, all demonstrations to date have required already knowing the answer to construct the algorithm. We have implemented the complete quantum phase estimation algorithm for a single qubit unitary in which the answer is calculated by the algorithm. We use a new approach to implementing the controlled-unitary operations that lie at the heart of the majority of quantum algorithms that is more efficient and does not require the eigenvalues of the unitary to be known. These results point the way to efficient quantum simulations and quantum metrology applications in the near term, and to factoring large numbers in the longer term. This approach is architecture independent and thus can be used in other physical implementations.

Adding control to arbitrary unknown quantum operations

While quantum computers promise significant advantages, the complexity of quantum algorithms remains a major technological obstacle. We have developed and demonstrated an architecture-independent technique that simplifies adding control qubits to arbitrary quantum operations-a requirement in many quantum algorithms, simulations and metrology. The technique is independent of how the operation is done, does not require knowledge of what the operation is, and largely separates the problems of how to implement a quantum operation in the laboratory and how to add a control. We demonstrate an entanglement-based version in a photonic system, realizing a range of different two-qubit gates with high fidelity.

A simple scheme for expanding photonic cluster states for quantum information

We show how an entangled cluster state encoded in the polarization of single photons can be straightforwardly expanded by deterministically entangling additional qubits encoded in the path degree of freedom of the constituent photons. This can be achieved using a polarization--path controlled-phase gate. We experimentally demonstrate a practical and stable realization of this approach by using a Sagnac interferometer to entangle a path qubit and polarization qubit on a single photon. We demonstrate precise control over phase of the path qubit to change the measurement basis and experimentally demonstrate properties of measurement-based quantum computing using a 2 photon, 3 qubit cluster state.
