arXiv:2607. 09906v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present, to our knowledge, the first adaptation of Pauli Correlation Encoding (PCE) to quantum topological data analysis, reformulating Betti number estimation as a depth-efficient variational optimization over a compressed qubit register.

arXiv:2607. 23044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Quantum devices are open systems whose dynamics interleave coherent evolution with dissipation, and benchmarking, error mitigation, and error correction all rest on a faithful model of both.

Finite-time driving of stochastic systems generates excess dissipation, causing the evolving probability distribution to lag behind the instantaneous equilibrium, and consequently degrading the convergence of nonequilibrium free energy estimators based on the Jarzynski equality. Escorted free energy simulations address the non-adiabatic lag by engineering control fields $\mathbf{u}$ that eliminate the lag, enforcing the trajectory-wise equality $\mathcal{W}_\mathbf{u} = Δ\mathcal{F}$, and yielding zero-variance estimators.
arXiv:2608. 10172v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mechanistic interpretability explains models by identifying circuits inside them, but has no way to tell whether a circuit is a property of the model or an artifact of the method that found it.

arXiv:2606. 19947v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable quantum control in the presence of decoherence requires policies that combat the effect of environmental noise on the controlled dynamics.

The paper develops a finite‑measurement framework for inferring the symmetry group that a quantum learning model should respect, based on candidate transformations and limited data. It shows that observable‑invisible transformations correspond to the stabilizer of a projected state when the probe span is invariant, and that recovered generators form a valid subgroup with a continuous invisible space identified via its Lie algebra. The authors introduce an unbiased shadow statistic that improves estimation rates, establish optimal gap dependence through a commuting‑qubit lower bound, and provide tools for task validation, bias quantification, and capacity analysis, all illustrated with Ising‑chain calculations.

arXiv:2607. 11013v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data re-uploading parameterized quantum circuits (DRU-PQCs) are universal function approximators, yet their expressivity produces oscillatory, non-convex loss landscapes that resist gradient-based optimization.

arXiv:2510. 22778v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a free-probabilistic framework for denoising diffusion, in which the data is a self-adjoint operator and its law a spectral distribution.
