Parametric two-qubit gates via Landau-Zener interference

We propose and demonstrate gates between two superconducting qubits based on quantum interference of consecutive Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions. This gate mechanism bridges between baseband and parametric two-qubit control, enabling in situ tuning of the control frequency across a continuous interval up to hundreds of MHz. Another advantage compared to dispersive couplers is that the speed of the LZ gate is on the order of the full coupling strength. We experimentally demonstrate the gate on two platforms, a modular chiplet architecture of coupled generalized flux qubits, and on a monolithic transmon architecture. The combination of tunability and gate speed establishes the LZ gate as a unique tool for multiplexing control pulses and interconnecting superconducting chiplet architectures.

Examining Agents' Bias Amplification versus Suppression in Multi-Agent Systems

Multi-agent systems are increasingly deployed to support various tasks where agents interact to achieve individual and collective objectives. Although these systems can enhance task performance and decision-making, fairness preservation through bias reduction remains challenging. This study examines how agent-level biases shift and impact system-wide fairness. We use prompts to expose individual agents to group-favoring bias, then assess downstream impacts at the system level. To quantify the impact, we propose Favor Bias Strength (FBS), a zero-centered metric that decomposes bias alteration between favored-group uplift and disfavored-group suppression. Using multiple agent designs, benchmarks, and up-to-date large language models, we show that agents endowed with bias can substantially affect system-wide fairness. Interestingly, when agents are exposed to bias uniformly, the system-wide bias elevates, even exceeding the additive sum of the individual agents' biases. The empirical evidence underscores the criticality of fairness in multi-agent systems, which warrants further analyses and empirical tests.

Enabling full localization of qubits and gates with a multi-mode coupler

Tunable couplers are a key building block of superconducting quantum processors, enabling high on-off ratios for two-qubit entangling interactions. While qubit-qubit interaction can be turned off, residual wavefunctions delocalize single-qubit excitations over the device, yielding weak effective couplings that manifest as unintended crosstalk. Moreover, conventional single-mode couplers lack independent control over interactions in the one- and two-excitation manifolds, leading to unitary errors such as leakage during gate operations. Here, we propose a multi-mode tunable coupler that enforces complete localization, yielding near-perfect qubit isolation at the decoupled point. We further show that the additional degrees of freedom in the coupler enable independent and nonlinear control of effective interactions across distinct excitation manifolds, with large on-off ratios. This architecture provides a new route toward the next generation of couplers for scalable and high-fidelity gate operations in superconducting quantum processors.

Finite Expression Methods for Discovering Physical Laws from Data

Nonlinear dynamics is a pervasive phenomenon observed in scientific and engineering disciplines. However, the task of deriving analytical expressions to describe nonlinear dynamics from limited data remains challenging. In this paper, we shall present a novel deep symbolic learning method called the "finite expression method" (FEX) to discover governing equations within a function space containing a finite set of analytic expressions, based on observed dynamic data. The key concept is to employ FEX to generate analytical expressions of the governing equations by learning the derivatives of partial differential equation (PDE) solutions through convolutions. Our numerical results demonstrate that our FEX surpasses other existing methods (such as PDE-Net, SINDy, GP, and SPL) in terms of numerical performance across a range of problems, including time-dependent PDE problems and nonlinear dynamical systems with time-varying coefficients. Moreover, the results highlight FEX's flexibility and expressive power in accurately approximating symbolic governing equations.

Concurrent Fermionic Simulation Gate

Introducing flexible native entanglement gates can significantly reduce circuit complexity. We propose a novel gate integrating iswap and cphase operations within a single gate cycle. We theoretically show one possible realization of this gate for superconducting qubits using bichromatic parametric drives at distinct frequencies. We show how various parameters, such as drive amplitudes and frequencies, can control entanglement parameters. This approach enhances gate versatility, opening pathways for more efficient quantum computing.

Fourier-MIONet: Fourier-enhanced multiple-input neural operators for multiphase modeling of geological carbon sequestration

Geologic carbon sequestration (GCS) is a safety-critical technology that aims to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which also places high demands on reliability. Multiphase flow in porous media is essential to understand CO$_2$ migration and pressure fields in the subsurface associated with GCS. However, numerical simulation for such problems in 4D is computationally challenging and expensive, due to the multiphysics and multiscale nature of the highly nonlinear governing partial differential equations (PDEs). It prevents us from considering multiple subsurface scenarios and conducting real-time optimization. Here, we develop a Fourier-enhanced multiple-input neural operator (Fourier-MIONet) to learn the solution operator of the problem of multiphase flow in porous media. Fourier-MIONet utilizes the recently developed framework of the multiple-input deep neural operators (MIONet) and incorporates the Fourier neural operator (FNO) in the network architecture. Once Fourier-MIONet is trained, it can predict the evolution of saturation and pressure of the multiphase flow under various reservoir conditions, such as permeability and porosity heterogeneity, anisotropy, injection configurations, and multiphase flow properties. Compared to the enhanced FNO (U-FNO), the proposed Fourier-MIONet has 90% fewer unknown parameters, and it can be trained in significantly less time (about 3.5 times faster) with much lower CPU memory ($<$ 15%) and GPU memory ($<$ 35%) requirements, to achieve similar prediction accuracy. In addition to the lower computational cost, Fourier-MIONet can be trained with only 6 snapshots of time to predict the PDE solutions for 30 years. The excellent generalizability of Fourier-MIONet is enabled by its adherence to the physical principle that the solution to a PDE is continuous over time.

MAF-GNN: Multi-adaptive Spatiotemporal-flow Graph Neural Network for Traffic Speed Forecasting

Traffic forecasting is a core element of intelligent traffic monitoring system. Approaches based on graph neural networks have been widely used in this task to effectively capture spatial and temporal dependencies of road networks. However, these approaches can not effectively define the complicated network topology. Besides, their cascade network structures have limitations in transmitting distinct features in the time and space dimensions. In this paper, we propose a Multi-adaptive Spatiotemporal-flow Graph Neural Network (MAF-GNN) for traffic speed forecasting. MAF-GNN introduces an effective Multi-adaptive Adjacency Matrices Mechanism to capture multiple latent spatial dependencies between traffic nodes. Additionally, we propose Spatiotemporal-flow Modules aiming to further enhance feature propagation in both time and space dimensions. MAF-GNN achieves better performance than other models on two real-world datasets of public traffic network, METR-LA and PeMS-Bay, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Optimality Conditions for Cardinality-Constrained Programs and a SCA Method

We study a cardinality-constrained optimization problem with nonnegative variables in this paper. This problem is often encountered in practice. Firstly we study some properties on the optimal solutions of this optimization problem under some conditions. An equivalent reformulation of the problem under consideration is proposed. Based on the reformulation, we present a successive convex approximation method for the cardinality constrained optimization problem. We prove that the method converges to a KKT point of the reformulation problem. Under some conditions, the KKT points of the reformulation problem are local optimizers of the original problem. Our numerical results on a limited diversified mean-variance portfolio selection problem demonstrate some promising results.
