The Knot Invariant Associated to Two-Parameter Quantum Algebras II

Fan, Ma, and Xing constructed oriented-tangle invariants from finite-type two-parameter quantum algebras. In this paper, we construct an explicit parameter-transport comparison between two-parameter modules and their corresponding one-parameter modules, and we verify this comparison on every elementary oriented-tangle operator. After extending scalars to a common coefficient field, we prove that if $M_1$ is any finite-dimensional integrable type-1 simple highest-weight $U_{v,1}$-module whose weights lie in an admissible lattice and $M_t=\Phi_t(M_1)$ is its transported module, then for every oriented link $L$, the corresponding normalized invariants satisfy $I_{v,t}^{M_t}(L)=I_{v,1}^{M_1}(L)$. Consequently, the two invariants assign equal values to exactly the same pairs of oriented links and therefore have the same distinguishing power; this includes the vector representations of the finite classical types A, B, C, and D. Sean Clark's comparison of ordinary and super quantum knot invariants is obtained as a specialization of the same transport principle in which explicit scalar factors are allowed.

Reusability of Quantum Catalysts

Quantum catalysts enable transformations that otherwise would be forbidden, offering a pathway to surpass conventional limits in quantum information processing. Among them, embezzling catalysts stand out for achieving near-perfect performance while tolerating only minimal disturbance, bridging the gap between ideal and practical catalysis. Yet, this superior capability comes at a cost: Each use slightly degrades the catalyst, leading to an inevitable accumulation of imperfection. This gradual decay defines their most distinctive property -- reusability -- which, despite its fundamental importance, remains largely unexplored. Here, we establish a quantitative framework to characterize the operational lifetime of embezzling catalysts, focusing on their role in entanglement distillation and extending the analysis to quantum teleportation. We show that the catalytic advantage inevitably diminishes with repeated use, deriving bounds on the maximum effective reuse rounds for a desired performance gain. Our results uncover the finite reusability of catalysts in quantum processes and point toward sustainable strategies for quantum communication.

Quantum separability criteria from bipartite systems to multipartite systems based on generalized Bloch representation

Quantum entanglement serves as a fundamental resource in quantum information theory. This paper presents a comprehensive framework of separability criteria for detecting bipartite and multipartite entanglements. We construct a novel parameterized extended correlation tensor via the generalized Bloch representation under an arbitrary orthogonal basis, which improves the performance of entanglement detection. Moreover, we employ the generalized matrix unfolding to generalize the extended correlation tensor construction to multipartite systems, obtaining separability criteria for multipartite entanglement. Detailed examples demonstrate that our separability criteria exhibit enhanced capability in detecting entanglement.

Quanutm-State Texture as a Resource: Measures and Nonclassical Interdependencies

Quantum-state texture is a newly recognized quantum resource that has garnered attention with the advancement of quantum theory. In this work, we address several key aspects of quantum-state texture resource theory, including the quantification of quantum-state texture, quantum state transformation under free operations, and the relationships between quantum resources. We first propose two new measures of quantum-state texture and introduce a specific functional form for constructing such measures via the convex roof method. Then, we determine the maximum probability of quantum state transformation under free operations. Finally, we establish connections between quantum-state texture and other prominent quantum resources, such as coherence, imaginarity, and predictability. Our research contributes to the measure theory of quantum-state texture and enriches the overall framework of quantum-state texture resource theory.

Variational quantum algorithm for generalized eigenvalue problems of non-Hermitian systems

Non-Hermitian generalized eigenvalue problems (GEPs) play a significant role in many practical applications, such as mechanical engineering. Based on the generalized Schur decomposition, we propose a variational quantum algorithm for solving the GEPs in non-Hermitian systems. The algorithm transforms the generalized eigenvalue problem into a process of searching for unitary transformation matrices. We demonstrate a method for evaluating both the loss function and its gradients on near-term quantum devices. We validate numerically the algorithm's performance through simulations, and demonstrate its application to GEPs in ocean acoustics. The algorithm's robustness is further confirmed through noise simulations.

On the center of two-parameter (v,t)-quantum groups

This paper mainly considers the center of two-parameter quantum group U_{v,t} of finite type via an analogue of the Harish-Chandra homomorphism. Through combining the connection between one-parameter quantum group case and two-parameter quantum group case, we get the description of center in the sense of Harish-Chandra homomorphism.

Teleportation with Embezzling Catalysts

Quantum teleportation is the process of transferring quantum information using classical communication and pre-shared entanglement. This process can benefit from the use of catalysts, which are ancillary entangled states that can enhance teleportation without being consumed. While chemical catalysts undergoing deactivation invariably exhibit inferior performance compared to those unaffected by deactivation, quantum catalysts, termed embezzling catalysts, that are subject to deactivation, may surprisingly outperform their non-deactivating counterparts. In this work, we present teleportation protocols with embezzling catalyst that can achieve arbitrarily high fidelity, namely the teleported state can be made arbitrarily close to the original state, with finite-dimensional embezzling catalysts. We show that some embezzling catalysts are universal, meaning that they can improve the teleportation fidelity for any pre-shared entanglement. We also explore methods to reduce the dimension of catalysts without increasing catalyst consumption, an essential step towards realizing quantum catalysis in practice.

Communication with Quantum Catalysts

Communication is essential for advancing science and technology. Quantum communication, in particular, benefits from the use of catalysts. During the communication process, these catalysts enhance performance while remaining unchanged. Although chemical catalysts that undergo deactivation typically perform worse than those that remain unaffected, quantum catalysts, referred to as embezzling catalysts, can surprisingly outperform their non-deactivating counterparts despite experiencing slight alterations. In this work, we employ embezzling quantum catalysts to enhance the transmission of both quantum and classical information. Our results reveal that using embezzling catalysts augments the efficiency of information transmission across noisy quantum channels, ensuring a non-zero catalytic channel capacity. Furthermore, we introduce catalytic superdense coding, demonstrating how embezzling catalysts can enhance the transmission of classical information. Finally, we explore methods to reduce the dimensionality of catalysts, a step toward making quantum catalysis a practical reality.

Dictionary-based Block Encoding of Sparse Matrices with Low Subnormalization and Circuit Depth

Block encoding severs as an important data input model in quantum algorithms, enabling quantum computers to simulate non-unitary operators effectively. In this paper, we propose an efficient block-encoding protocol for sparse matrices based on a novel data structure, called the dictionary data structure, which classifies all non-zero elements according to their values and indices. Non-zero elements with the same values, lacking common column and row indices, belong to the same classification in our block-encoding protocol's dictionary. When compiled into the \{\rm U(2), CNOT\} gate set, the protocol queries a $2^n \times 2^n$ sparse matrix with $s$ non-zero elements at a circuit depth of $\mathcal{O}(\log(ns))$, utilizing $\mathcal{O}(n^2s)$ ancillary qubits. This offers an exponential improvement in circuit depth relative to the number of system qubits, compared to existing methods~\cite{clader2022quantum,zhang2024circuit} with a circuit depth of $\mathcal{O}(n)$. Moreover, in our protocol, the subnormalization, a scaled factor that influences the measurement probability of ancillary qubits, is minimized to $\sum_{l=0}^{s_0}\vert A_l\vert$, where $s_0$ denotes the number of classifications in the dictionary and $A_l$ represents the value of the $l$-th classification. Furthermore, we show that our protocol connects to linear combinations of unitaries (LCU) and the sparse access input model (SAIM). To demonstrate the practical utility of our approach, we provide several applications, including Laplacian matrices in graph problems and discrete differential operators.

Quantum entanglement estimation via symmetric measurement based positive maps

We provide a class of positive and trace-preserving maps based on symmetric measurements. From these positive maps we present separability criteria, entanglement witnesses, as well as the lower bounds of concurrence. We show by detailed examples that our separability criteria, entanglement witnesses and lower bounds can detect and estimate the quantum entanglement better than the related existing results.

Separability and lower bounds of quantum entanglement based on realignment

The detection and estimation of quantum entanglement are the essential issues in the theory of quantum entanglement. We construct matrices based on the realignment of density matrices and the vectorization of the reduced density matrices, from which a family of separability criteria are presented for both bipartite and multipartite systems. Moreover, new lower bounds of concurrence and convex-roof extended negativity are derived. Criteria are also given to detect the genuine tripartite entanglement. Lower bounds of the concurrence of genuine tripartite entanglement are presented. By detailed examples we show that our results are better than the corresponding ones in identifying and estimating quantum entanglement as well as genuine multipartite entanglement.

Affine flag varieties of type D

The Hecke algebras and quantum group of affine type A admit geometric realizations in terms of complete flags and partial flags over a local field, respectively. Subsequently, it is demonstrated that the quantum group associated to partial flag varieties of affine type C is a coideal subalgebra of quantum group of affine type A. In this paper, we establish a lattice presentation of the complete (partial) flag varieties of affine type D. Additionally, we determine the structures of convolution algebra associated to complete flag varieties of affine type D, which is isomorphic to the (extended) affine Hecke algebra. We also show that there exists a monomial basis and a canonical basis of the convolution algebra, and establish the positivity properties of the canonical basis with respect to multiplication.
