MDQEC-QAS: Meta-Decoding for Quantum Error Correction with Hardware-Aware VQC Search and Confidence-Gated Recovery

We propose a unified meta-decoding framework for quantum error correction that learns syndrome-to-recovery mappings across multiple stabilizer codes and noise settings, without requiring separate decoders for each configuration. The benchmark includes FiveQubit, Steane, Planar3x3, and Planar5x5 codes, four noise families, and five evaluation regimes: interpolation, unseen-p transfer, unseen-noise transfer, few-shot unseen-code adaptation, and few-shot held-out-size adaptation. We compare a classical Meta-MLP teacher-trained baseline with variational quantum circuit (VQC) meta-decoders selected through hardware-aware quantum architecture search over qubit count, circuit depth, and entangling topology. The Meta-MLP achieves teacher-label accuracies of 0.9993, 0.9118, 0.9342, 0.6304, and 0.7548 across the five regimes, while the hardware-aware VQC achieves 0.9400, 0.8495, 0.8415, 0.5678, and 0.7143. However, logical-level evaluation shows that high teacher-label accuracy alone is insufficient in the most challenging Planar5x5 setting. During interpolation, the raw logical-failure ratios relative to the teacher are 12.08 and 25.91 for the Meta-MLP and VQC, respectively, whereas confidence-gated fallback reduces them to 1.71 and 1.11. These results support confidence-aware selective recovery rather than unconditional teacher replacement.

Phase controlled spectral topology, dynamic stability and sensitivity in Non-Hermitian Cavity Magnonics

We theoretically investigate a non-Hermitian cavity-magnon platform in which coherent photonmagnon interactions and reservoir-mediated dissipative coupling interfere through a single externally tunable phase. We show that this interference phase provides a universal control parameter that continuously rotates the effective coupling between Hermitian and anti-Hermitian regimes, enabling dynamic transitions between level repulsion and level attraction without modifying intrinsic system parameters. The resulting phase-controlled non-Hermitian topology gives rise to exceptional points, linewidth engineering, and zero-damping conditions. Owing to the propagation-direction dependence of the dissipative interaction, the system further exhibits strong nonreciprocal transport and phase-tunable isolation arising from asymmetric hybridization of the cavity and magnon modes. Beyond its spectral and transport properties, we establish a direct connection between nonHermitian spectral topology and nonequilibrium population dynamics. The interference phase governs the stability of the hybrid modes, driving transitions between stable relaxation, critical slowing down near exceptional points, oscillatory energy exchange, and exponentially amplified dynamics. We further demonstrate that the same phase-controlled exceptional topology can be exploited for enhanced sensing, where the eigenvalue response exhibits the characteristic square-root scaling associated with exceptional-point physics. Our results provide a unified framework linking spectral topology, directional transport, dynamical stability, and sensing functionality through reservoirengineered interference in cavity magnonic systems.

Hydrodynamics without a relaxation gap: memory effects, nonlocality, and superdiffusion

By studying a simple model of relativistic particles propagating through a background medium with an energy-dependent relaxation time that is unbounded from above, we investigate how long-term memory obstructs the emergence of local hydrodynamics in systems with a gapless non-hydrodynamic sector. In the RTA matching frame, we show that the full gradient expansion is generically divergent in most flows, even for Fourier modes, and that any resummation necessarily retains an infinite set of slow non-hydrodynamic degrees of freedom. The divergence of the gradient expansion therefore reflects a more fundamental breakdown of hydrodynamic locality caused by persistent non-hydrodynamic memory. We finally show that sufficiently singular relaxation spectra can invalidate ordinary diffusion itself. In these regimes, the diffusivity diverges, and the late-time dynamics become superdiffusive, governed by intrinsically nonlocal constitutive relations.

Necessary conditions for causality from linearized stability at ultra-high boosts

In this work, we provide a novel method to constrain the causal parameter space of a relativistic hydrodynamic system exclusively from its linear stability analysis at non-zero momenta. Our approach exploits the Lorentz-invariant stability property of causal theories. In boosted frames, the dispersion relation exhibits a feature that we call ``$\gamma$-suppression,'' whereby the higher-order terms in the wavenumber expansion are increasingly suppressed beyond leading order at large boosts. As a consequence, at near-luminal values of Lorentz boost, stability criteria at the spatially homogeneous limit are sufficient to identify the region of the parameter space that satisfies the necessary conditions of causality, even at non-zero momenta. After presenting the general hydrodynamic framework, we test the method in conformal M\"uller-Israel-Stewart theory and show that it provides an efficient way of deriving the necessary conditions of causality while remaining within the low-energy regime of hydrodynamic validity.

Polarization-Controlled Photon Mode Switching and Photon--Magnon Coupling in a Planar Cavity--Magnonic System

This work presents polarization-selective photon-magnon coupling (PMC) in a planar cavity-magnonic platform consisting of an electric-LC resonator (ELCR) side-coupled to a microstrip transmission line and integrated with a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film. The ELCR supports two orthogonal photon modes at $\sim 3.93$ GHz and $\sim 5.73$ GHz, whose excitation and radiative damping are governed by the resonator orientation relative to the microwave-field polarization. Rotating the resonator enables controlled switching between these modes and tunable photon-magnon hybridization. An equivalent circuit model including intrinsic and extrinsic damping successfully reproduces the polarization-driven mode switching, while an effective three-mode Hamiltonian accurately captures the coupled-mode evolution. The results reveal strong angular tunability of the PMC strength through redistribution between two competing interaction channels. At $\theta = 0^\circ$, only the lower-frequency photon mode is excited, yielding $g_{31}=56.5$ MHz, while the higher-frequency mode remains inactive. As the angle increases, both channels become active: $g_{31}$ increases from $56.5$ to $98$ MHz over $0^\circ$-$60^\circ$ before vanishing at $90^\circ$, whereas $g_{23}$ decreases from $76$ to $30$ MHz over $30^\circ$-$90^\circ$. The observed evolution yields a measured transition near $25.7^\circ$ and a symmetry-related model-predicted transition near $154.3^\circ$. These findings establish resonator-orientation--driven polarization selectivity as a versatile mechanism for controllable photon--magnon interactions in planar architectures.

Modeling $\Lambda$ polarization in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV using relativistic spin hydrodynamics

We investigate spin polarization dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions using ideal relativistic spin hydrodynamics, employing non-boost-invariant longitudinal solutions as the hydrodynamic background. Operating in the small-polarization regime, where spin evolves perturbatively on top of the bulk expansion, we first analyze a $(1+1)$D setup with transverse homogeneity. In this framework, symmetry-constrained initial conditions for the spin potential lead to non-trivial evolution and generate both local and global $\Lambda$ hyperon polarization consistent with qualitative experimental trends, though they fail to reproduce observed azimuthal structures. To address this limitation, we extend the framework by incorporating transverse flow and spatial anisotropy at freeze-out, constructing a $novel$ $(1+1+2)$D model that preserves the longitudinal dynamics. We demonstrate that the inclusion of a longitudinal spin acceleration component, coupled with transverse expansion, results in the emergence of a quadrupole pattern in the longitudinal polarization. The resulting momentum-dependent and integrated observables exhibit qualitative and, after fitting the spin potential initial intensity, reasonably good quantitative agreement with experimental data for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=200$ GeV. Finally, we provide predictions for the in-plane transverse spin polarization, an observable that, to our knowledge, has not yet been experimentally measured.

Spin hydrodynamics on a hyperbolic expanding background

We study relativistic spin hydrodynamics on the hyperbolic $\kappa=-1$ flow background recently identified by Grozdanov. This background corresponds to an $SO(2,1)$-invariant, transversely expanding solution with finite spacetime support in Minkowski space, in contrast to the well-known Gubser flow $(\kappa=+1)$ which possesses $SO(3)$ symmetry and infinite transverse extent. Working within the formulation of perfect-fluid spin hydrodynamics, we derive the exact evolution equations for all spin components of the spin potential on the $\kappa=-1$ background. We find that the enhanced early-time expansion rate and the presence of a causal edge lead to a stronger localization of spin dynamics compared to the Gubser case. Remarkably, the azimuthal component of the spin potential oscillates as it decays in the forward lightcone, in stark contrast to the Gubser flow. Thus, our results establish the $\kappa=-1$ flow as a distinct and physically meaningful benchmark for studying spin dynamics in expanding relativistic fluids with finite spacetime support.

Carroll hydrodynamics with spin

We formulate Carroll hydrodynamics with the inclusion of a spin current. Our strategy relies on the fact that the $c\to 0$ limit of relativistic hydrodynamics yields the equations of Carroll hydrodynamics. Starting with the pre-ultralocal parametrization of the background geometry and the hydrodynamic degrees of freedom for a relativistic fluid endowed with a spin current, the $c\to 0$ limit produces Carroll hydrodynamics with spin. It is known that boost-invariant hydrodynamic models for ultrarelativistic fluids relevant for the physics of quark-gluon plasma, such as Bjorken and Gubser flow, are manifestations of Carroll hydrodynamics under appropriate geometric choices for the underlying Carrollian structure. In this work, we further this mapping between such boost-invariant models and Carroll hydrodynamics, now with the inclusion of a spin current.

Quantum Computing Inspired Approach for Self-Avoiding Walk (SAWs): 2D lattice and 3D lattice SAWs for single chain enumeration

We investigate the application of quantum computing algorithms to enhance the efficiency of enumerating self-avoiding walks (SAWs), utilizing quantum properties such as superposition and interference. A Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE)-based algorithm is developed to enumerate SAWs on both 2D and 3D lattices. In case of 2D square lattice, SAWs up to N=71 steps are successfully enumerated within 26.9 minutes - significantly improving upon the classical algorithm, which required approximately 231 hours(Jensen et al., 2012, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 45, 115202). The algorithm is further extended to 3D cubic lattices, where SAWs up to N=40 steps are enumerated in 13.06 minutes, compared to the classical result of N=36 in 250 hours (Schram et al., 2011, J. Stat. Mech. P06019). These results demonstrate a substantial reduction in computational time, highlighting the potential of quantum computing for combinatorial enumeration problems.

Relativistic Dispersion Spectra across Lorentz boosted frames: Spurious modes and the enigma of causality

The analysis of excitation spectra in gradient-expanded relativistic fluid theories frequently leads to pathologies under Lorentz boosts. However, extracting the dispersion modes in a Lorentz boosted inertial frame can be nontrivial. Motivated by this problem, we develop a general framework for deriving the linearized dispersion spectra in Lorentz boosted frames using only information from the local rest-frame dispersion structure, particularly its mode-expansion coefficients. We observe that, under a Lorentz transformation from the local rest frame, additional boosted solutions may appear that conflict with the causality of the theory; we refer to these as "spurious modes." The key developments presented here are: (i) a convenient method for obtaining dispersion spectra across inertial frames, bypassing the traditional procedure of solving the boosted polynomial, and (ii) the establishment of a direct connection between mode conservation and the causality of a theory, supported by a detailed proof.

Graph-Based Bayesian Optimization for Quantum Circuit Architecture Search with Uncertainty Calibrated Surrogates

Quantum circuit design is a key bottleneck for practical quantum machine learning on complex, real-world data. We present an automated framework that discovers and refines variational quantum circuits (VQCs) using graph-based Bayesian optimization with a graph neural network (GNN) surrogate. Circuits are represented as graphs and mutated and selected via an expected improvement acquisition function informed by surrogate uncertainty with Monte Carlo dropout. Candidate circuits are evaluated with a hybrid quantum-classical variational classifier on the next generation firewall telemetry and network internet of things (NF-ToN-IoT-V2) cybersecurity dataset, after feature selection and scaling for quantum embedding. We benchmark our pipeline against an MLP-based surrogate, random search, and greedy GNN selection. The GNN-guided optimizer consistently finds circuits with lower complexity and competitive or superior classification accuracy compared to all baselines. Robustness is assessed via a noise study across standard quantum noise channels, including amplitude damping, phase damping, thermal relaxation, depolarizing, and readout bit flip noise. The implementation is fully reproducible, with time benchmarking and export of best found circuits, providing a scalable and interpretable route to automated quantum circuit discovery.

Proximity driven photon-tunneling in chiral quantum hybrid systems

We investigate photon tunneling in a pair of coupled inverted circular split-ring microwave resonators with four discrete chiral orientations. By varying the spacing between the resonators, we observe strong modulation of the transmission spectra, including mode splitting, interference effects, and the formation of dark states. Measurements on fabricated devices show clear signatures of hybridization that depend on both chirality and proximity, and these results are consistent with full-wave electromagnetic simulations. To describe the observed behavior, we develop a circuit quantum electrodynamics model that captures the dependence of the coupling strength on geometry and the reversal of its sign. Although the experimental excitation is classical, the system reproduces features expected from two quantized harmonic oscillators, providing a classical analogue of a chiral quantum hybrid platform. The ability to control photon tunneling through structural design and excitation parameters suggests potential applications in reconfigurable photonic devices, quantum communication, chiral sensing, and polarization-selective signal processing.

Perfect spinfluid: A divergence-type approach

We present a new formulation of non-dissipative relativistic spin hydrodynamics that incorporates spin degrees of freedom into the divergence-type theory framework. Due to the divergence-type structure, it is straightforward to enforce non-linear causality and symmetric hyperbolicity of the equations of motion, ensuring local well-posedness of the initial-value problem and stability of the theory. Furthermore, in a specific realization based on spin kinetic theory, we prove that the equations of motion remain non-linearly causal and symmetric-hyperbolic to all orders in the spin potential, provided a specific thermodynamic constraint is satisfied. This framework can be applied for numerical simulations to study the dynamics of spin-polarized fluids, such as the quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions.

Guiding center hydrodynamics with spin

We build upon the recently formulated guiding-center kinetic theory for guiding-center plasma by incorporating spin degrees of freedom in the presence of electromagnetic fields. This approach yields a streamlined set of equations for guiding-center ideal hydrodynamics with spin--fewer than those in traditional spin hydrodynamics--owing to a restriction on motion perpendicular to the magnetic field. We propose that this framework offers a promising tool to comprehending how matter behaves under the influence of intense magnetic fields, such as spin polarization effects observed in experimental measurements.

Entanglement and particle production from cosmological perturbations: a quantum optical simulation approach

In this work, we develop a computational framework based on the Gaussian formalism and symplectic circuit representation to explore cosmological perturbations during inflation. These tools offer an efficient means to study entanglement generation and particle production, particularly when analytical methods become insufficient and numerical simulations are essential. By evolving an initial Bunch-Davies vacuum through a two-mode squeezer, we simulate the behavior of the von Neumann entropy and logarithmic negativity across a wide range of cosmological backgrounds, each characterized by a distinct equation of state. The von Neumann entropy obtained via QuGIT simulations is compared with analytic Rényi entropy bounds, thereby validating the accuracy of our circuit implementation of the cosmological squeezing Hamiltonian in both accelerating and decelerating scenarios. We further investigate the role of thermal noise and demonstrate how the von Neumann entropy and logarithmic negativity are affected by its presence.

Hybrid Photon-magnon Systems: Exploring the Purcell Effect

We present a novel approach to observing the Purcell effect in a photon-magnon coupled (PMC) hybrid system consisting of a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin film and a hexagonal ring resonator (HRR) arranged in a planar geometry. This hybrid system has been designed and simulated using the commercial electromagnetic full-wave simulator CST Microwave Studio for various values of damping constant (alpha) of the YIG film while keeping the HRR properties constant. Our results reveal that as the magnon damping increases, the anti-crossing behavior between photon and magnon modes in the transmission spectra diminishes, transitioning the coupled modes into the Purcell regime. This transition is attributed to an enhanced spontaneous emission rate of microwave photons when coupled to lossy magnons, driving the PMC system into the Purcell regime. To elucidate this behavior, we developed a comprehensive theoretical framework based on a quantum model, which accurately describes the observed Purcell phenomena and provides estimations of the PMC strength (g/2pi). Notably, by tuning alpha from 1.4 x 10^-5 to 2.8 x 10^-2, we achieved precise control over (g/2pi) ranging from 63 MHz to 127 MHz. This study highlights the Purcell effect's role in enhancing photon decay rates and establishes a clear relationship with PMC strength. Our work offers a comprehensive method for controlling photon resonance dissipation, opening new avenues for exploring the Purcell effect and its applications in on-chip functional devices leveraging magnon-photon interactions for quantum technologies.

Multimode Photon-Photon Coupling

This study investigates a planar hybrid system consisting of three complementary splitring resonators (CSRRs), designed to examine interactions among multiple photon modes at room temperature. The system was modeled and simulated using the full-wave electromagnetic solver CST Microwave Studio. Analysis of the transmission spectra (|S21|) as a function of frequency for different CSRR dimensions revealed distinct anti-crossing behavior, indicative of strong photon-photon coupling (PPC). To explain this phenomenon, we present theoretical framework that quantitatively captures the observed mode hybridization and provides estimates of the coupling strength, which are further validated experimentally. This work not only elucidates the fundamental dynamics of PPC in planar systems but also offers practical guidance for designing hybrid platforms with tunable photon interactions, paving the way for future advancements in planar magnonic and hybrid photonic technologies.

Dynamic control of photon-magnon interactions via secondary magnon excitation

Photon-mediated magnon-magnon coupling between spatially separated Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) and permalloy (NiFe) thin films on a planar hexagonal ring resonator shows clear signatures of magnon-magnon interaction are observed without direct dipolar interaction between the magnetic films. The coupling strength between the hexagonal ring resonator and the permalloy film increases with the thickness of the YIG film, despite a fixed permalloy film thickness. This suggests the presence of an indirect interaction channel mediated by resonator photons. A theoretical model is presented that accurately reproduces the observed transmission spectra and reveals a nontrivial interdependence between the individual coupling strengths of YIG and permalloy to the resonator. These results highlight the importance of indirect interactions and potential crosstalk pathways in designing hybrid magnonic systems and scalable quantum architectures, while demonstrating the feasibility of cost-effective, planar configurations for experimental implementation. These insights are valuable for advancing low-loss, coherent information transfer in hybrid quantum devices.
