Deterministic and programmable generation of mechanical multipartite entangled states

Isabelle Franzen, Max-Emanuel Kern, Q. Rumman Rahman +5

Multimode mechanical resonators offer a large set of densely packed, long-lived bosonic modes within a single compact device, making them attractive for quantum simulation, quantum…

Mixed-state phases induced by power-law quantum channels

Christopher Fechisin, Tsung-Cheng Lu, Zhi-Yuan Wei +4

Open quantum systems can exhibit inherently mixed quantum orders, such as strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (SW-SSB), which have no analogue in pure states. It is genera…

Nonlinear dynamics and mechanical frequency combs with a Meissner-levitated micromagnet

Yiqi Wang, Trisha Madhavan, Vanessa Wachter +6

Nonlinearities in multimode mechanical systems can give rise to rich dynamical phenomena with great potential for sensing applications and for future quantum experiments. We demons…

Probing the Error-Mitigation Threshold with Matrix Product States

Jia-Yao Zhao, Zhi-Yuan Wei, Michael J. Gullans

Quantum error mitigation relies on accurate noise characterization, but mismatches between the actual and characterized noise can be amplified and drive a sharp threshold between s…

Measurement-enhanced entanglement in a monitored superconducting chain

Rui-Jing Guo, Ji-Yao Chen, Zhi-Yuan Wei

A common view in monitored quantum dynamics is that local measurements suppress entanglement growth. We show that this intuition can fail in a one-dimensional spinful fermionic cha…

Weighted Nested Commutators for Scalable Counterdiabatic State Preparation

Jialiang Tang, Xi Chen, Zhi-Yuan Wei

Counterdiabatic (CD) driving enables efficient quantum state preparation, but it requires implementing highly nonlocal adiabatic gauge potentials (AGP) that are impractical to comp…

Renormalization-group-based preparation of matrix product states on up to 80 qubits

Moritz Scheer, Alberto Baiardi, Elisa Bäumer Marty +2

A key challenge for quantum computers is the efficient preparation of many-body entangled states across many qubits. In this work, we demonstrate the preparation of matrix product…
