Hassan II University Team Maps Coherence In Gravitational Cat States
Increasing the gravitational coupling between particles preferentially enhances collective coherence, a finding that refines understanding of quantum resilience in massive systems. Unlike previous work establishing temperature thresholds for entanglement, this decomposition distinguishes between coherence arising from particle correlations and that intrinsic to each particle. This nuanced view may aid both the search for quantum gravity and the development of quantum technologies.

Researchers Simulate Molecules With Hybrid Hpc-Quantum Embedding
By partitioning complex molecular systems, a new hybrid approach combines the strengths of classical and quantum computation to overcome longstanding limitations in predicting electronic behaviour. This DFT-Quantum Embedding (QDFT) framework treats chemically relevant portions with a quantum solver, while classical HPC handles the remainder, offering a pathway beyond the approximations inherent in standard Density Functional Theory. The resulting simulations demonstrate improved accuracy alongside the scalability needed for complex materials and drug discovery.

Edge Modes At Quantum Critical Points Break Scaling Rules
Topological edge modes at topologically nontrivial quantum critical points (QCPs) give rise to anomalous dynamical scaling behavior, while bulk dynamics follow standard Kibble–Zurek (KZ) scaling. This anomalous boundary dynamics, demonstrated in quantum spin chains and free-fermion models, represents a modified scaling relation beyond the traditional KZ framework.

Researchers Build Platform For Quantum Resource Optimisation
Quantum computing has long struggled to move beyond theoretical promise to practical devices. AutoQuREO offers a new approach to optimising these systems, departing from methods reliant on complex compilation or distant fault-tolerance goals. This framework creates a ‘digital twin’ of quantum stacks, enabling the discovery of resource trade-offs previously beyond reach.

Local Spin Qubits Reveal Non-Gaussian Magnetic Noise In Materials
Atomic scale qubits, as may be realized in nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, offer the opportunity to study magnetic field noise with nanometer scale spatial resolution, learning about magnetic-field noise correlations in quantum materials and devices. This work shows how to extend techniques beyond the Gaussian regime and measure higher-order magnetic noise cumulants in a local, spatially resolved way using spin qubits.
