Isospectral potentials with Dirac delta interaction: Constrained Spectra

We study quantum potentials containing Dirac delta function (DDF) within its supersymmetric (isospectral) construction via a discontinuous superpotential, instead of being simply an added part. This construction comprises of two independently solvable sectors joined at the singular point by matching conditions imposed by the corresponding self-adjoint extension. Needing careful regularization, these boundary conditions impose independent algebra...

Exact learning of quantum noise with tensor networks

Accurate noise models are essential for high-performance quantum error correction, yet characterizing the noise of a quantum device typically requires dedicated experiments. We present a variational framework that learns the noise model directly from quantum-error-correction syndrome and logical-observable data collected during error-corrected memory experiments. The fault-event probabilities are treated as variational parameters and optimized v...

Entangling capability of coherently controlled quantum processes

We analytically characterize entanglement generation by two paradigmatic coherently controlled quantum processes, the quantum switch and time-flip. Retaining rather than measuring or discarding the control, we treat the control and target as the bipartite system and assume pure product inputs, so that any output entanglement reflects the entangling capability of the process. For the switch of qubit unitaries, we derive exact expressions for enta...
