Dissipation-Selected Resonant Fronts in a Driven-Dissipative Bose-Hubbard Lattice

Spatially structured dissipation can organize driven quantum matter beyond purely Hamiltonian control. We show that a dissipation gradient, combined with a Stark-induced detuning ramp, selects a nonlinear resonance slice in a two-dimensional driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard lattice and produces a pinned density front...

A Qudit-Native Framework for Discrete Time Crystals

We introduce a qudit-native framework for engineering robust discrete time crystals (DTCs) by leveraging their internal multilevel structure. Our approach confines the periodic drive to specified on-site subspaces, creating an embedded kick that suppresses heating by preventing population leakage to inactive levels....

Tomography-assisted noisy quantum circuit simulation using matrix product density operators

In recent years, efficient quantum circuit simulations incorporating ideal noise assumptions have relied on tensor network simulators, particularly leveraging the matrix product density operator (MPDO) framework. However, experiments on real noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices often involve complex noise...
