Symmetry and AI-assisted discovery of magic-state factories

Magic-state distillation is a major resource cost in fault-tolerant quantum computing. The cost of a magic-state factory depends strongly on its failure rate, which grows with the number of input magic states. Although symmetry-restricted methods have recently made distance two searches tractable, distance three and ab...

Transformer-Based Time-Series Inference of Lindblad Dynamics in Open Quantum Systems

The Lindblad master equation is the standard framework for describing the non-unitary evolution of open quantum systems, where environmental interactions induce dissipation and decoherence. When both the system Hamiltonian and the dissipation rates are partially unknown or explicitly time-dependent, traditional analyti...

Variational Quantum Attention for Molecular Graph Learning

Molecular property prediction is central to computational drug discovery, where graph neural networks learn to weight neighboring atomic environments during message passing. Yet it remains unclear how variational quantum circuits alter learned attention behavior in molecular graphs. We introduce an edge-aware variation...

Learning the structure of open quantum systems

We design an algorithm for learning the coefficients of an $n$-qubit constant-local Lindbladian to $\varepsilon$ error with $O(g d^2 \log(n) / \varepsilon^2)$ total evolution time, where $g$ is the single-site energy and $d$ is the (approximate) degree of the interaction graph. Though Lindbladians present new challenge...

Classical and Quantum Speedups for Non-Convex Optimization via Energy Conserving Descent

We present the first analytical study of ECD, focusing on the one-dimensional setting for this first installment. We formalize a stochastic ECD dynamics (sECD) with energy-preserving noise, as well as a quantum analog of the ECD Hamiltonian (qECD), providing the foundation for a quantum algorithm through Hamiltonian si...

Fragmentation is Efficiently Learnable by Quantum Neural Networks

In certain classes of physical quantum systems, the exponentially large state space "fragments" into many low-dimensional, dynamically disconnected subspaces. We introduce a learning problem known as fragment classification, where given a quantum state input, one is interested in classifying to which subspace the state...

Quantum parameter estimation with uncertainty quantification from continuous measurement data using neural network ensembles

We show that ensembles of deep neural networks, called deep ensembles, can be used to perform quantum parameter estimation while also providing a means for quantifying uncertainty in parameter estimates, which is a key advantage of using Bayesian inference for parameter estimation that is lost when using existing mac...

Generalization of Transformer-Based Neural Quantum States via In-Context Learning

Neural quantum states based on modern deep learning architectures have emerged as powerful representations for quantum many-body systems. In particular, Transformer-based neural quantum states provide expressive models capable of capturing long-range correlations, and their empirical generalization performance has rece...

Hamiltonian locality testing and certification do not achieve the Heisenberg limit

We establish lower bounds for Hamiltonian property testing with access to the time-evolution operator but not its inverse. Each experiment may query the time-evolution operator multiple times, and distances between Hamiltonians are measured in the normalized Frobenius norm. In this model, we show that testing whether...

Landscape-Dependent Performance of Photonic Quantum Solvers in QUBO Feature Selection for Financial Risk Detection

Feature selection for imbalanced classification tasks such as credit card fraud and consumer default detection requires balancing predictive relevance, inter-feature redundancy, and computational feasibility. We benchmark three computing paradigms, classical branch-and-bound optimization (Gurobi), photonic entropy comp...

When Normalization Selects the Sign: Auditing Robustness Ablations in Quantum Attention

Removing an input-scaling module changes both a classifier and the perturbations reaching its encoder. A robustness difference can therefore reflect the comparison rule as well as the module. We demonstrate this problem in a four-qubit quantum-attention detector on generated power-grid trajectories. A learned scaling m...

Where Quantum Fourier Sampling Stops Short: A Three-Gate Audit Protocol for Delay-PUF Security Models

Quantum Fourier sampling may help audit the spectral learnability of delay-based physical unclonable functions (PUFs). We ask whether that promise survives access matching, a strong classical comparator, and oracle synthesis. Three gates structure the evaluation. Structure: low degree is not small support at reachable...

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
