Learning and interpreting policies for simultaneous entanglement requests in quantum networks ↗
Future quantum networks will make use of entanglement to perform numerous tasks, such as sending quantum information over long distances, distributed quantum computing, and quantum sensing. In general, these tasks will need to be performed simultaneously in various regions of a network, while minimizing resources and latency. We will thus require policies for scheduling link-level entanglement resources, and using the link-level entanglement to create various forms of multipartite entanglement required for every task. In this work, we address this problem using reinforcement learning. We formu…

Sharp universal death of entanglement threshold for Pauli Hamiltonians ↗
We determine the exact universal high-temperature separability threshold for Pauli Hamiltonians of bounded degree $Δ\ge2$. If every coefficient in the Hamiltonian has magnitude at most one and each term has overlapping support with at most $Δ$ other terms, the Gibbs state is a mixture of product Pauli eigenstates whenever \[ β\le z_Δ:= \operatorname{arctanh}\left[\max_{0\le x \le 1}x\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x}\right)^{Δ-1} \right]. \] For every $β>z_Δ$, a finite commuting Hamiltonian with maximum overlap degree at most $Δ$ has an entangled Gibbs state. At any fixed $β<z_Δ$ strictly below the thresho…

Disorder-induced quantum Fisher information in topological quantum systems ↗
The topological order of the Kitaev toric code is insensitive to disorder in its couplings since all star and plaquette operators commute; consequently, the stabilizer ground-state manifold is independent of the individual coupling strengths, and the phase remains stable against weak local perturbations. This insensitivity, however, is a property of the eigenstates and not of the dynamics they generate, and we show that the disorder sensitivity of a probe prepared outside that eigenbasis can be a metrological resource. In particular, we investigate the estimation of the strength of three topol…

Optimal Two-Qubit Gate-Cutting Cost and Measures of Nonlocality ↗
Circuit cutting enables quantum computations to be decomposed into smaller subcircuits at the cost of additional sampling overhead. Gate-cutting provides one such approach by replacing nonlocal gates with quasiprobability decompositions of local operations. Starting from the known optimal two-qubit gate-cutting formula, we derive complete sharp lower and upper envelopes relating the quasiprobability extent $γ$ to five established descriptors: entangling power, gate typicality, operator entanglement, Schmidt strength, and maximum product-input concurrence. We recast $γ$ as a Rényi-$1/2$ functio…

Leg-Tied Tensor Network States: Entanglement Beyond Virtual Bonds ↗
We introduce a class of tensor-network states in which physical legs are shared among local tensors, termed leg-tied tensor ansätze (LETTA). Physical leg ties encode long-range correlations directly, while a virtual matrix product state (MPS) backbone retains short-range multipartite entanglement. The linear virtual backbone allows us to develop a deterministic density matrix renormalization group-like variational optimization algorithm using exact contractions over the active tie-boundary sets and local minimization. We demonstrate the advantages of LETTA for the two-dimensional frustrated $J…

Design Principles for Ultra-High-Rate Quantum Codes ↗
Reducing the qubit overhead of quantum error correction is a central challenge for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Recent ultra-high-rate quantum codes offer a promising route toward this goal, with some constructions requiring as few as two physical data qubits per logical qubit. However, systematic principles for navigating the tradeoffs among encoding rate, distance, check weight, and blocklength remain lacking. Here, we develop and analyze principles for exploring this design space, and use them to design compact code constructions with improved performance. We develop code temp…

All you need is the universal correlation detector: A unified approach to universalize communication protocols over quantum channels ↗
Constructing optimal quantum information protocols without complete knowledge of the underlying states or channels is a central challenge. We address this challenge by developing universal correlation detection as a common building block for quantum communication. Our detectors distinguish a bipartite state from the product of its marginals and attain the same first-order asymptotic performance as optimal tests constructed with complete state information. For general bipartite quantum states, knowledge of a single marginal suffices: a detector depending only on that marginal is first-order opt…

One-shot Routing in Quantum Networks ↗
Distributed quantum computation requires many entangled pairs to be available simultaneously, so routing must optimize fidelity from a fixed, short-lived set of network resources rather than the rate of pairs accumulated over time. We formulate this one-shot routing problem for heterogeneous Werner-state links and jointly optimize path selection and the schedule of entanglement swapping and distillation. We show that the common purify-then-swap ordering is not optimal network-wide and that exact schedule enumeration requires $m^{Θ(m)}$ time. We introduce Fidelity-Optimizing Local Detours (FOLD…

Optimal entanglement criteria from trace invariants ↗
Randomized measurement protocols give experimental access to low-degree polynomial invariants of a quantum state rather than to the state itself, which raises the question of what the best entanglement criterion is that can be built from finitely many such invariants. In this work we answer this question through convex duality. For each degree we introduce the cone of local unitary trace inequalities that are valid for separable bipartite states in all local dimensions, together with its one-matrix counterparts for Hermitian and positive semidefinite matrices. Each cone is the polar dual of a…

Quantum heat transport and effects of quantum thermal devices in noncommuting coupled spins ↗
Quantum heat transport governs energy exchange processes and statistical laws in non-equilibrium quantum systems, and plays a pivotal role in quantum thermodynamics. We investigate the steady-state thermal transport of a noncommuting coupled spin system. We employ the quantum dressed master equation approach within the framework of open quantum system theory to accurately analyze the non-equilibrium dynamics, ensuring the validity of transport results in the strong coupling regime. Our results demonstrate that noncommuting spin coupling serves as a significant resource for modulating the nonli…

How to assess evidence about Physics
Check each original source for its methods, release status, limitations, and supporting data. A repository announcement, a preprint, and a published study provide different kinds of evidence. SYMTRI’s subject classification helps discovery; it does not independently validate the source’s claims.
