Universal Configuration for Optimizing Complexity in Variational Distributed Quantum Circuits
Distributed quantum computing represents at present one of the most promising approaches to scaling quantum processors. Current implementations typically partition circuits into multiple cores, each composed of several qubits, with inter-core connectivity playing a central role in ensuring scalability. Identifying the optimal configuration -- defined as the arrangement that maximizes circuit complexity with minimal depth -- thus constitutes a fundamental design challenge. In this work, we demon…

Transformed $\ell_1$ Regularizations for Robust Principal Component Analysis: Toward a Fine-Grained Understanding
Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA) aims to recover a low-rank structure from noisy, partially observed data that is also corrupted by sparse, potentially large-magnitude outliers. Traditional RPCA models rely on convex relaxations, such as nuclear norm and $\ell_1$ norm, to approximate the rank of a matrix and the $\ell_0$ functional (the number of non-zero elements) of another. In this work, we advocate a nonconvex regularization method, referred to as transformed $\ell_1$ (TL1), to im…

A Cegar-centric Bounded Reachability Analysis for Compositional Affine Hybrid Systems
Reachability analysis of compositional hybrid systems, where individual components are modeled as hybrid automata, poses unique challenges. In addition to preserving the compositional semantics while computing system behaviors, algorithms have to cater to the explosion in the number of locations in the parallel product automaton. In this paper, we propose a bounded reachability analysis algorithm for compositional hybrid systems with piecewise affine dynamics, based on the principle of countere…

FHEON: A Configurable Framework for Developing Privacy-Preserving Neural Networks Using Homomorphic Encryption
The widespread adoption of Machine Learning as a Service raises critical privacy and security concerns, particularly about data confidentiality and trust in both cloud providers and the machine learning models. Homomorphic Encryption (HE) has emerged as a promising solution to this problems, allowing computations on encrypted data without decryption. Despite its potential, existing approaches to integrate HE into neural networks are often limited to specific architectures, leaving a wide gap in…

Graph theory-based automated quantum algorithm for efficient querying of acyclic and multiloop causal configurations
Quantum algorithms provide a promising framework in high-energy physics, in particular, for unraveling the causal configurations of multiloop Feynman diagrams by identifying Feynman propagators with qubits, a challenge analogous to querying directed acyclic graphs in graph theory. In this paper, we present the Minimum Clique-optimised quantum Algorithm (MCA), an automated quantum algorithm designed to efficiently query the causal structures within the Loop-Tree Duality. The MCA quantum algorith…
