Abstract

Influence matrices encode the action exerted on local subsystems by the rest of an extended quantum many-body system during their evolution. Thus, knowledge of the influence matrix facilitates computationally efficient simulations of local dynamics. Here we propose a new systematic approach to generating quantum circuits with complex dynamics for which the influence matrices can be written down exactly. In contrast to previous frameworks of this kind, such as dual-unitary circuits, the resulting influence matrices are non-Markovian, exhibiting nontrivial temporal correlations. We explicitly construct a broad family of circuits of this kind, based on dressing free-fermion (matchgate) circuits with appropriately chosen interaction terms. We show that, contrary to previous solvable instances, these circuits produce patterns of correlations that closely resemble that of typical many-body systems. Our approach can be directly interpreted in terms of an error correction scheme where the terms breaking the solvability of the influence matrices play the role of errors.

Dynamic Observable Subspaces: Fast Simulation of Observable Quantum Dynamics

By decomposing quantum dynamics across the Lie orbits of a list of observables, we find polynomial bounded classical simulations for the dynamics of the quantum system given a polynomial sized dynamic Lie algebra (DLA) for the generators of the quantum system. To do so, we describe how to construct the Dynamic Observable Subspace (DOS) that captures all the relevant dynamics for calculating expectation values for a specific observable for Pauli strings, diffusor mixers, and general local generators. Efficient sparse matrix representation, decoupling nonlinearity from such representation and basis construction with permissible pruning allows us to simulate the closed dynamics of such systems with hundreds of qubits. Moreover, we find that while restricted DOS circuits may not express the space of an associated Hamiltonian, they can dramatically outperform a fully expressive circuit due to the absence of the Barren Plateau. While classically simulatable, such circuits can still exhibit a form of quantum advantage through inference, act as warm starting for more expressive circuits, and find high quality trial states for Quantum Amplitude Amplification or Quantum Phase Estimation. In the simulation of quantum dynamics, we find that our restricted circuit can be simulated in polynomial time while producing high quality guiding state for downstream tasks like Quantum Phase Estimation with significantly lower energy than circuits with full expressivity.

Matrix Product Evolution: A Method for Simulating Quantum Circuits Using Tensor Networks

This work introduces Matrix Product Evolution (MPE), a tensor-train representation of quantum circuits constructed along the circuit depth rather than along the qubit index, and develops an efficient contraction strategy based on a zip-up procedure to carry out this contraction in practice.

Quantum Circuit Fragments and Link Products in Continuous Variables

Quantum circuits are often drawn as complete processes, with fixed inputs and outputs. In many quantum-information tasks, however, the natural object is only a fragment of such a circuit: an unknown source of non-Markovian noise to be probed, a subroutine to be inserted into a larger algorithm, or an agent implementing an adaptive strategy. In finite dimensions, the link product provides a systematic means to analyze how such circuit fragments interact and compose. Here, we develop the corresponding framework for continuous-variable systems. We introduce continuous-variable circuit fragments and associated link products that stitch such fragments together into larger processes. We show that the formalism simplifies substantially in the Gaussian regime, where link products can be evaluated efficiently using covariance-matrix representations. We use the formalism to construct non-Markovian processes and adaptive agent-environment interactions from modular components. This extends the quantum-comb toolkit to continuous variables, providing systematic methods for adaptive sensing, non-Markovian noise mitigation, and higher-order quantum circuit design.

Equivalence of quantum resources under ergodic dynamics

Quantum resource theories characterize distinct forms of nonclassicality in many-body quantum states, raising the question of whether these resources evolve independently under generic ergodic dynamics. Considering diagnostics quadratic in the state, we show that the dynamics of different resource measures become mutually interdependent and are governed by a few common degrees of freedom. For Haar-random circuits, the purity together with a single resource witness suffices to reconstruct the remaining resource measures, as we demonstrate for coherence, various asymmetries, and number entropies. The same relations hold, to a good approximation, under chaotic Floquet and continuous-time Hamiltonian dynamics, establishing that this dynamical resource equivalence extends beyond random circuits. We further derive an exact coherence--imaginarity relation, remarkably accurate also beyond Haar-random circuits. Our results reveal an emergent simplification of many-body dynamics, in which sufficiently strong scrambling reduces seemingly distinct quantum resources to a few common dynamical degrees of freedom.

Quantum Error Mitigation with Diffusion-Like Models

Coupling between a quantum system and its environment causes decoherence by transferring information from the system to environmental degrees of freedom. When discretized in time, such interactions can be interpreted as sequences of weak measurements that provide an effective model of noisy quantum dynamics. Motivated by this picture, we propose an AI-assisted error-mitigation framework for quantum diffusion processes generated by sequential local weak measurements. The forward process progressively erases information from the input state through weak measurements performed in randomly selected Pauli bases, producing basis-dependent local dephasing and locally depolarizing dynamics on average. Machine-learning models are trained on exact synthetic density matrices to learn a channel- and distribution-specific denoising map and estimate the corresponding pre-noise state. We benchmark the approach on single-qubit states and separable and entangled multi-qubit registers. We also study distribution-dependent local-to-global reconstruction, in which local reduced density matrices are used to reconstruct the global state. This experimentally motivated setting relies on locally accessible information and is therefore compatible with noisy and distributed quantum systems. More broadly, the framework provides a hybrid classical-quantum approach for approximating non-unitary dynamics and mitigating coherence loss.
