Extending the Bloch sphere model to an N-qubit system

Francisco Piñero, Cristian Franco, Hernán I. de la Cruz +5

The Bloch sphere is an elegant tool for representing single-qubit states. However, a widely accepted generalization for multi-qubit systems with entanglement remains absent. We pro…

Chaos, thermalization and breakdown of quantum-classical correspondence in a collective many-body system

Ángel L. Corps, Sebastián Gómez, Pavel Stránský +2

We investigate thermalization and the quantum-classical correspondence in the collective Bose-Hubbard model, focusing on the four-site case. Our analysis of the classical phase-spa…

Error Resilience of Fracton Codes and Near Saturation of Code-Capacity Threshold in Three Dimensions

Giovanni Canossa, Lode Pollet, Miguel A. Martin-Delgado +2

Fracton codes have been intensively studied as novel topological states of matter, yet their fault-tolerant properties remain largely unexplored. Here, we investigate the optimal t…

Local fermion density in inhomogeneous free-fermion chains: a discrete WKB approach

Martín Zapata, Federico Finkel, Artemio González-López

We introduce a novel analytical approach for studying free-fermion (XX) chains with smoothly varying, site-dependent hoppings and magnetic fields. Building on a discrete WKB-like a…

Efficient and simple Gibbs state preparation of the 2D toric code via duality to classical Ising chains

Pablo Páez-Velasco, Niclas Schilling, Samuel O. Scalet +2

We introduce the notion of polynomial-depth duality transformations, which relates two sets of operator algebras through a conjugation by a poly-depth quantum circuit, and make use…
