Decohered toric code under quantum damping noise and its mapping to a classical spin model

We investigate properties of toric codes under realistic damping error channels, which include squeezing, thermal and non-Markovian effects. First, we map the decohered toric code under the generalized amplitude-damping (GAD) and the squeezed generalized amplitude-damping (SGAD) channels to the statistical-mechanical models using the double Hilbert-space formalism. Second, we map the action of the GAD and SGAD channels on the toric code to stochastic Pauli-type errors via Pauli twirling, yielding asymmetric depolarizing channels, and obtain the logical failure probabilities as a function of temperature and squeezing. In both cases, we relate the channel parameters of the GAD and SGAD channels to the spin-coupling constants of the statistical-mechanical model.

Noise-Adaptive Predictive Dynamical Decoupling

Protecting quantum coherence against realistic environmental noise remains one of the fundamental obstacles to scalable quantum technologies. We develop a noise-adaptive dynamical decoupling framework that combines analytical open-quantum-system modeling with machine-learning-based forecasting for a qubit interacting with random telegraph noise. Unlike conventional dynamical decoupling protocols based on fixed pulse schedules, the proposed approach continuously forecasts short-time coherence evolution and adaptively applies control pulses according to the instantaneous noise dynamics. We investigate stationary and non-stationary environments spanning both Markovian and non-Markovian regimes. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the machine-learning-assisted adaptive control strategy substantially outperforms conventional periodic dynamical decoupling while using a comparable number of control pulses. The improvement becomes particularly pronounced in non-Markovian and non-stationary regimes, where memory effects, coherence revivals, and temporally evolving noise strongly limit the effectiveness of static pulse protocols. These results establish predictive machine-learning-assisted dynamical decoupling as a promising and scalable framework for adaptive quantum control in realistic noisy quantum devices.

Tripartite entanglement of oscillating and decohering neutrinos

We study entanglement measures for oscillating neutrinos in the wave-packet formalism and confirm that an oscillating neutrino exhibits genuine tripartite entanglement and can be characterized as a member of the W class of states. We also show that this feature survives in the decoherence limit, and discuss the effect of CP phases on the entanglement. These findings provide new insights into the quantum nature of neutrino oscillations and their potential role in quantum information science, especially for neutrinos propagating large distances such as the astrophysical neutrinos observed at neutrino telescopes.

Entanglement-assisted continuous-variable concatenated codes for encoding qubits or oscillators

Entanglement-assisted (EA) stabilizer codes enhance the rate of error correction in relation to codes with no pre-shared entanglement. Meanwhile, bosonic error-correcting codes, such as the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code, can be concatenated with qubit stabilizer codes to significantly reduce the logical failure probability of those stabilizer codes. First, we combine the above two concepts to propose an EA version of the qubit-into-oscillators concatenated code that chains an EA-stabilizer (outer) code with a GKP (inner) code. As an example we present a three-qubit EA-repetition concatenated with a GKP code. Second, we propose an EA version of the non-Gaussian oscillator-into-oscillators concatenated code that chains a GKP (outer) code with an EA-stabilizer (inner) code. As an example we present a GKP code concatenated with a three-qubit EA repetition code that uses two maximally entangled modes (emodes) and suppresses the variances of both position and momentum quadrature errors of a data mode. Furthermore, we generalize the latter example to a family of GKP code concatenated with a $n$-qubit EA repetition code that uses ${n-1}$ emodes and suppresses the variances of both position and momentum quadrature errors of a data mode by a factor ${1/n}$.

Quantum state transfer on a scalable network under unital and non-unital noise

We investigate quantum state transfer on a class of bipartite graphs, namely the butterfly graphs, within the framework of discrete-time quantum walks. These graphs facilitate the construction of scalable quantum networks that enable communication between a sender and a receiver via perfect state transfer. Our analysis demonstrates that state transfer occurs across different butterfly graphs, thereby extending the known families of networks that support high-fidelity quantum state transfer. In addition to the ideal noiseless dynamics, we further investigate the robustness of quantum state transfer in the presence of non-Markovian environmental noise, specifically, random telegraph noise, modified Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise, which are examples of unital noise and non-Markovian amplitude damping noise, non-unital noise. These noise models capture different types of system-environment interactions and memory effects that influence the coherence of the quantum walk. These findings contribute to the theoretical understanding of how butterfly graph constructions influence quantum transport phenomena.

Two-Qubit Spin-Boson Model in the Strong Coupling Regime: Coherence, Non-Markovianity, and Quantum Thermodynamics

We investigate the dynamics of a two-qubit open quantum system, in particular the two-qubit spin-boson model in the strong coupling regime, coupled to two thermal bosonic baths under non-Markovian and non-equilibrium conditions. Two complementary approaches, the Hierarchical Equations of Motion (HEOM) and Reaction Coordinate Mapping (RCM), are employed to examine various coupling regimes between the qubits and their respective baths. The dynamical features of the model and the impact of the tunneling amplitude on quantum coherence of the system are probed using the $l_1$-norm of coherence. The model is further shown to have non-Markovian evolution. The nontrivial task of calculating entropy production in the strong-coupling regime is performed using auxiliary density operators in HEOM. Motivated by the realization of a quantum thermal device in the strong-coupling regime, the non-equilibrium steady-state behavior of the system is investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between the heat and spin currents and the tunneling amplitude is probed.

Thermodynamics of an Open Two-Level $\mathcal{PT-}$Symmetric Quantum System

For a subclass of a general $\mathcal{PT}-$symmetric Hamiltonian obeying anti-commutation relation with its conjugate, a Hermitian basis is found that spans the bi-orthonormal energy eigenvectors. Using the modified projectors constructed from these eigenvectors, the generalized density matrix of the $\mathcal{PT}-$symmetric evolution is calculated, and subsequently, ergotropy for a closed system is obtained. The $\mathcal{PT}-$symmetric system, in an open system scenario, is studied to understand ergotropy under different regimes of non-Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian. The consistency of the three laws of thermodynamics for the $\mathcal{PT}-$symmetric system in an open system scenario is also analyzed.

Finite-Bath Open Quantum Systems: Exact Dynamics

In this work, we introduce a method for deriving exact master equations from the dynamical map for finite open quantum systems coupled to (in)finite reservoirs, using the principle of minimal dissipation. The exact dynamics of the central spin model, which models a finite-bath open quantum system, is developed for two interaction types: Heisenberg and stochastic pure-dephasing interactions. The Heisenberg interaction yields a novel phase-covariant quantum channel in the strong-coupling regime, offering a new platform for studying a range of quantum information protocols. The stochastic pure-dephasing interaction provides the microscopic derivation of the paradigmatic non-Markovian random telegraph noise (RTN) channel, establishing its quantum foundation and offering insight into stochastic couplings. We derive the closed-form master equations for both models. As a demonstration, we explore the thermodynamic performance of these systems as quantum batteries. A direct relationship between quantum heat current and charging power is revealed, and RTN quantum batteries are shown to have advantages in charge storage.

Collective Quantum Batteries and Charger-Battery Setup in Open Quantum Systems: Impact of Inter-Qubit Interactions, Dissipation, and Quantum Criticality

Quantum batteries have emerged as promising platforms for exploring energy storage and transfer processes governed by quantum mechanical laws. In this work, we study three models of two-qubit open quantum systems. The first model comprises two central spins immersed in spin baths, and both central spins are collectively considered as quantum batteries. The impact of inter-qubit interactions on the performance of the quantum battery is investigated. In the second model, a two-qubit model interacting with a squeezed thermal bath serves as a collective quantum battery, where the impact of inter-atomic distance and the bath temperature on the battery's performance is explored. Furthermore, a two-qubit model is used, where one qubit is modeled as a battery and the other as a charger. The charger in this model interacts with an anisotropic spin-chain bath, which is conducive to quantum criticality. It is demonstrated that this criticality has a substantial impact on the quantum battery's storage capacity.

Interrelation of Non-Classicality, Entropy, Irreversibility and Work extraction in Open Quantum Systems

The interplay of non-classical volume, von Neumann entropy, entropy production, and ergotropy is investigated in various open quantum systems. Two categories of open quantum system models are utilized: spin-spin and spin-boson interaction models. The spin-spin interaction models include the quantum collision and central spin models. On the other hand, the spin-boson interaction models consist of non-Markovian amplitude damping channel, Markovian generalized amplitude damping channel, and the Jaynes-Cummings model. Across these various open quantum systems, universal interrelations emerge, where the non-classical volume shows contrasting evolution with entropy, and entropy production contrasts with ergotropy. The initial state of the reservoir in these open quantum systems is shown to have an impact on these interrelations. These findings establish an interesting link between quantum information and the thermodynamics of open quantum systems.

Supervised Machine Learning for Predicting Open Quantum System Dynamics and Detecting Non-Markovian Memory Effects

We present a \emph{novel} and scalable supervised machine learning framework to predict open-quantum system dynamics and detect non-Markovian memory using only local ancilla measurements. A system qubit is coherently coupled to an ancilla via a symmetric XY Hamiltonian; the ancilla interacts with a noisy environment and is the only qubit we measure. A feedforward neural network, trained on short sliding windows of supplementary data from the past, forecasts the observable system $\langle Z_{(S)}(t)\rangle$ without state tomography or knowledge of the bath. To quantify memory, we introduce a normalized revival-based metric that counts upward 'turn-backs' in \emph{predicted} $\langle Z_{(S)}(t)\rangle$ and reports the fraction of evaluated samples that exceeds a small threshold. This bounded score provides an interpretable, model-independent indicator of non-Markovianity. We demonstrate the method on two representative noise channels, non-unital amplitude damping and unital dephasing from random telegraph noise (RTN). Under matched conditions, the model accurately reproduces the dynamics and flags memory effects, with RTN exhibiting a larger normalized revival score than amplitude damping. Overall, the approach is experimentally realistic and readily extensible, enabling real-time, interpretable non-Markovian diagnostics from accessible local measurements.

Quantum spread complexity as a probe of NSI, $CP$ Violation, and mass ordering in neutrino oscillations in matter

Quantum spread complexity characterizes how a quantum state evolves and becomes distributed over the Hilbert space under unitary dynamics. In this work, we employ a cost function as a quantitative measure of spread complexity. We investigate this cost function within the framework of three-flavor neutrino oscillations in vacuum and matter, incorporating the $CP$-violation phase and Non-Standard Interaction (NSI) effects, under both normal and inverted mass ordering scenarios. The cost function is evaluated for each scenario and analyzed with the corresponding neutrino transition probabilities for both initial muon neutrino and muon antineutrino flavor states. The results are presented using the energy where the first oscillation is maximum and baseline lengths of ongoing long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments, including T2K and NOvA, as well as upcoming experiments such as DUNE and P2O. Our findings indicate that the difference in the cost function between normal and inverted mass orderings during neutrino propagation in matter is sensitive to these experiments, with the appropriate choice of NSI parameters and the best-fit $CP$-violation phase values.

Non-classicality of two-qubit quantum collision model: non-Markovian effects

We investigate a two-qubit quantum system in contact with an environment modeled by a microscopic collision model with added ancilla-ancilla collisions in the non-Markovian regime. Two schemes of the two-qubit collision model with carried-forward correlations are introduced. In one scheme, a single stream of ancillae interacts with only one of the qubits of the two-qubit system; in the other, both the qubits interact with two independent sequences of ancillae, which could be at the same or different temperatures. The system's non-Markovian evolution is examined using the trace distance measure, and the non-classicality of the system is studied using the Wigner function, non-classical volume, and concurrence. Also, interesting steady-state behavior is observed when both the independent ancillae are kept at the same temperature.

Quantum state transfer and periodicity in discrete-time quantum walks under non--Markovian dephasing noise

In quantum communication, quantum state transfer from one location to another in a quantum network plays a prominent role, where the impact of noise could be crucial. The idea of state transfer can be fruitfully associated with quantum walk on graphs. We investigate the consequences of non-Markovian quantum noises on periodicity and state transfer induced by a discrete-time quantum walk on graphs, governed by the Grover coin operator. Different bipartite graphs, such as the path graph, cycle graph, star graph, and complete bipartite graph, present periodicity and state transfer in a discrete-time quantum walk depending on the topology of the graph. We investigate the effect of quantum non-Markovian dephasing noises, particularly quantum non-Markovian Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) and modified non-Markovian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Noise (OUN) on state transfer and periodicity. We demonstrate how the RTN and OUN noises allow state transfer and periodicity for a finite number of steps in a quantum walk. Our investigation brings out the feasibility of state transfer in a noisy environment.

Interferometric and Bipartite OTOC for Non-Markovian Open Quantum Spin-Chains and Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Model

The information scrambling phenomena in an open quantum system modeled by Ising spin chains coupled to Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) baths are observed via an interferometric method for obtaining out-of-time-ordered correlators ($\mathcal{F}-$OTOC). We also use an anisotropic bath connecting to a system of tilted field Ising spin chain in order to confirm that such situations are suitable for the emergence of ballistic spreading of information manifested in the light cones in the $\mathcal{F}-$OTOC profiles. Bipartite OTOC is also calculated for a bipartite open system, and its behavior is compared with that of the $\mathcal{F}-$OTOC of a two-spin open system to get a picture of what these measures reveal about the nature of scrambling in different parameter regimes. Additionally, the presence of distinct phases in the LMG model motivated an independent analysis of its scrambling properties, where $\mathcal{F}-$OTOC diagnostics revealed that quantum chaos emerges exclusively in the symmetry-broken phase.

$\mathcal{PT-}$Symmetric Two-Level Open Quantum Systems: Information Theoretic Facets

The theory of a two-level $\eta$-Hermitian Hamiltonian with $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is reviewed and extended to include open system dynamics. A first-principles derivation of the generalized Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation appropriate for a $\mathcal{PT}-$symmetric Hamiltonian is presented. Inspired by a simple light matter interaction open system model, information theoretic quantities like a non-Markovian witness and fidelity are calculated for the $\mathcal{PT-}$symmetric Hamiltonian, and the results are compared with their corresponding two-level Hermitian counterparts. The nature of entanglement between two $\mathcal{PT-}$symmetric and Hermitian open quantum systems is calculated, and the contrast observed.

Quantum steganographic protocols using degenerate and entanglement-assisted quantum codes

Steganography is the art of concealing secret information by embedding it in an apparently innocent-looking message. Quantum steganography applies the principles of quantum mechanics to traditional steganography and, compared to the latter, offers significant advantages, including heightened security, improved concealment, and increased data-hiding capacity. Traditionally, quantum steganography disguises the covert communication as channel noise, which is corrected using preshared classical randomness. This method requires the steganalytic eavesdropper Eve to overestimate the level of channel noise, so that the bounds on the stego channel capacity depend on this assumed gap in Eve's knowledge of the channel. In this work, we point out that by means of preshared quantum entanglement the secret message can be encoded into nonlocal correlations, obviating the need for such an assumption of Eve's ignorance. Consequently, the capacity bounds on the stego channel can then come from the channel capacity of the quantum communication channel. We introduce three such entanglement-based quantum steganographic protocols that make use of catalytic quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs), degenerate entanglement-assisted QECCs, or the phase bit of preshared entanglement. Here catalytic QECCs enable recycling entanglement, while entanglement assistance allows both sender and receiver to contribute to the protocol's secrecy. We derive upper and lower bounds on the secrecy capacity of each protocol, and demonstrate their practical robustness.

Probing the quantum speed limit and entanglement in flavor oscillations of neutrino-antineutrino system in curved spacetime

We consider a spinning primordial black hole (PBH) described by the Kerr metric in Kerr-Schild polar coordinates. We derive an analytical expression for the four-vector gravitational potential in the underlying Hermitian Dirac Hamiltonian using these coordinates. This gravitational potential introduces an axial vector term in the Dirac equation in curved spacetime. We find that the magnitudes of the temporal and spatial components of the four-vector gravitational potential are significantly affected by the angle of the position vector of the spinor with respect to the spin axis of the PBH, its radial distance from the PBH, and the strength of the specific angular momentum of the PBH. These potentials modify the effective mass matrix of the neutrino-antineutrino system and significantly affect the transition probabilities during the flavor oscillation of the neutrino-antineutrino system. We then use the transition probability to investigate the quantum speed limit time bound ratio for the two-flavor oscillation of the neutrino-antineutrino system in curved spacetime. This helps us estimate how quickly the initial neutrino flavor state evolves over time under the influence of the gravitational field. Finally, we discuss quantum correlations such as entanglement entropy during the two-flavor oscillation of the neutrino-antineutrino system near a spinning PBH.
