GOP Judges Strike Down Far-Right Religious Liberty Training Punishment
Even the Fifth Circuit said punishing Southwest Airlines with an Alliance Defending Freedom training was too much.
Last year, a federal judge in Texas appointed by Trump ordered three senior lawyers for the airline to take eight hours of training from the #ADF ("Alliance Defending Freedom")
as part of sanctions re…

Quantum Circuit Unoptimization
Optimization of circuits is an essential task for both quantum and classical computers to improve their efficiency. In contrast, classical logic optimization is known to be difficult, and a lot of heuristic approaches have been developed so far. In this study, we define and construct a quantum algorithmic primitive called quantum circuit unoptimization, which makes a given quantum circuit complex by introducing some redundancies while preserving circuit equivalence, i.e., the inverse operation …

Optimal joint cutting of two-qubit rotation gates
Circuit cutting, the partitioning of quantum circuits into smaller independent fragments, has become a promising avenue for scaling up current quantum-computing experiments. Here, we introduce a scheme for joint cutting of two-qubit rotation gates based on a virtual gate-teleportation protocol. By that, we significantly lower the previous upper bounds on the sampling overhead and prove optimality of the scheme. Furthermore, we show that no classical communication between the circuit partitions …

Autaptic Synaptic Circuit Enhances Spatio-temporal Predictive Learning of Spiking Neural Networks
Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) emulate the integrated-fire-leak mechanism found in biological neurons, offering a compelling combination of biological realism and energy efficiency. In recent years, they have gained considerable research interest. However, existing SNNs predominantly rely on the Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) model and are primarily suited for simple, static tasks. They lack the ability to effectively model long-term temporal dependencies and facilitate spatial information inte…

Ninth Circuit eyes call to halt US aid to Israel citing violation of Genocide Convention
A call to block further U.S. ammunitions to Israel during its military campaign, which has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, has reached the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Quantum computing quantum Monte Carlo with hybrid tensor network for electronic structure calculations
Quantum computers have a potential for solving quantum chemistry problems with higher accuracy than classical computers. Quantum computing quantum Monte Carlo (QC-QMC) is a QMC with a trial state prepared in quantum circuit, which is employed to obtain the ground state with higher accuracy than QMC alone. We propose an algorithm combining QC-QMC with a hybrid tensor network to extend the applicability of QC-QMC beyond a single quantum device size. In a two-layer quantum-quantum tree tensor, our…

Direct Probe of Topology and Geometry of Quantum States on IBM Q
The concepts of topology and geometry are of critical importance in exploring exotic phases of quantum matter. Though they have been investigated on various experimental platforms, to date a direct probe of topological and geometric properties on a universal quantum computer even for a minimum model is still in vain. In this work, we first show that a density matrix form of the quantum geometric tensor (QGT) can be explicitly re-constructed from Pauli operator measurements on a quantum circuit.…
