abstract

Quantum information science explores the frontier of highly complex quantum states, the "entanglement frontier." This study is motivated by the observation (widely believed but unproven) that classical systems cannot simulate highly entangled quantum systems efficiently, and we hope to hasten the day when well controlled quantum systems can perform tasks surpassing what can be done in the classical world. One way to achieve such "quantum supremacy" would be to run an algorithm on a quantum computer which solves a problem with a super-polynomial speedup relative to classical computers, but there may be other ways that can be achieved sooner, such as simulating exotic quantum states of strongly correlated matter. To operate a large scale quantum computer reliably we will need to overcome the debilitating effects of decoherence, which might be done using "standard" quantum hardware protected by quantum error-correcting codes, or by exploiting the nonabelian quantum statistics of anyons realized in solid state systems, or by combining both methods. Only by challenging the entanglement frontier will we learn whether Nature provides extravagant resources far beyond what the classical world would allow.

Computing quantum magic of state vectors

quant-ph · 2026-01-12 · accept · novelty 7.0

Efficient algorithms compute stabilizer Rényi entropy and mana for quantum states from vectors at O(N d^{2N}) cost using fast Hadamard transform, with open-source implementation.

Nonlocal nonstabilizerness in free fermion models

quant-ph · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Nonlocal magic in fermionic Gaussian states is bounded by the entanglement spectrum of the covariance matrix, is extensive in the Haar ensemble, peaks at criticality in the Kitaev chain, and grows diffusively under random circuits.

Exponential quantum advantage in processing massive classical data

quant-ph · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A polylog-sized quantum computer achieves exponential advantage over classical machines in classification and dimension reduction of massive classical data using quantum oracle sketching combined with classical shadows.

Spontaneous fractional Josephson current from parafermions

cond-mat.mes-hall · 2022-08-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Length asymmetry between counter-propagating chiral edges in a parafermion Josephson junction supplies a spontaneous phase bias that electrically controls Majorana (m=1) or parafermion (m>1) zero modes at Laughlin fillings.

AI Consciousness and Existential Risk

cs.AI · 2025-11-24 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Consciousness does not directly predict AI existential risk unlike intelligence, though it may indirectly affect risk through alignment or capability requirements.
