Graphix: A software framework for Measurement-Based Quantum Computation

Measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) is a powerful model for quantum computation, but dedicated software tools that bridge its theoretical foundations with practical research workflows remain limited. We present Graphix, a software framework for MBQC written in Python that provides a unified environment for developing, integrating, and exploring measurement-based protocols and algorithms. Graphix establishes a modular, extensible, and user-friendly architecture for the compilation and simulation of quantum computations in the MBQC model with abstractions closely aligned with the theoretical formulations of MBQC. Through examples drawn from recent research on MBQC, we demonstrate Graphix's ability to reproduce and extend previous results. Graphix thus provides a software infrastructure for MBQC, supporting education and research while enabling collaborative development and accelerating the transition toward practical implementations.

Efficient certification of intractable quantum states with few Pauli measurements

Efficient verification of quantum computational resources is crucial as experiments advance toward fault-tolerance. Universal quantum computation can be achieved by consuming resource states through simple Pauli measurements, yet a significant gap remains between states that are easy to certify and those required for universality. We focus on \emph{Clifford-enhanced Product States}, a class of resource states obtained by applying Clifford circuits to a product of single-qubit, potentially magic, states. While essential for universal computation, the certification of such states has previously relied on query oracles that are \#P-hard to implement, leaving their efficient, oracle-free verification an open challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that such classically intractable resource states can be efficiently verified using only Pauli measurements. Our protocol achieves sample- and time-efficiency in both i.i.d.\ and adversarial settings. This work fills a gap in Pauli-based certification, providing a new practical pathway to verify resource states that drive universal Pauli-based quantum computation.

Un modèle booléen pour l'énumération des siphons et des pièges minimaux dans les réseaux de Petri

Petri-nets are a simple formalism for modeling concurrent computation. Recently, they have emerged as a powerful tool for the modeling and analysis of biochemical reaction networks, bridging the gap between purely qualitative and quantitative models. These networks can be large and complex, which makes their study difficult and computationally challenging. In this paper, we focus on two structural properties of Petri-nets, siphons and traps, that bring us information about the persistence of some molecular species. We present two methods for enumerating all minimal siphons and traps of a Petri-net by iterating the resolution of a boolean model interpreted as either a SAT or a CLP(B) program. We compare the performance of these methods with a state-of-the-art dedicated algorithm of the Petri-net community. We show that the SAT and CLP(B) programs are both faster. We analyze why these programs perform so well on the models of the repository of biological models biomodels.net, and propose some hard instances for the problem of minimal siphons enumeration.
