The true cost of factoring: Linking magic and number-theoretic complexity in Shor's algorithm
Alessio Paviglianiti, Matteo Seclì, Emanuele Tirrito +1
The execution cost of quantum algorithms is typically quantified through asymptotic gate counts and qubit register sizes, yet these metrics do not directly capture which genuinely…

Arbitrary fractional quantization in Dirac systems
Christos Papapanos, Rushin Contractor, Mariusz Drong +2
Oscillations are ubiquitous wave phenomena in physical systems ranging from electromagnetic and acoustic to gravitational waves. The behavior of finite-size systems is traditionall…

A tale of two localizations: coexistence of flat bands and Anderson localization in a photonics-inspired amorphous system
Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Alexander Avdoshkin, Zhetao Jia +3
Emerging experimental platforms use amorphousness, a constrained form of disorder, to tailor meta-material properties. We study localization under this type of disorder in a family…
