Asymptotic Entanglement across Dynamical Regimes of a Dissipative Bosonic Dimer

Abstract

Dynamical instability in parametrically driven bosonic systems is generally associated with diverging occupations and the absence of a stationary state, but its implications for long-time entanglement remain unclear. We investigate this question in a dissipative bosonic dimer with beam-splitter and two-mode-squeezing interactions, local loss, and a tunable common bath. The non-Hermitian dynamical spectrum governing the Gaussian moments partitions the parameter space into distinct regimes and provides a unified description of population and entanglement dynamics across both stable and unstable regions. We find that dynamical instability does not imply unbounded entanglement growth: although the bosonic population diverges, the logarithmic negativity remains bounded and approaches a finite asymptotic value. We further characterize the finite asymptotic entanglement and show that asymmetric local dissipation shifts both the stability boundary and the threshold for nonzero asymptotic entanglement. For identical local dissipation, the presence of a common bath leaves the dynamical-region boundaries unchanged while qualitatively reshaping the long-time entanglement landscape, producing broad enhancement regions within the stable regimes and a narrow enhancement region within the unstable regime. In the common-bath-only limit, this enhancement is attributed to an exact dark-mode (bound-state-in-the-continuum, BIC) protection mechanism, which reduces to a quasi-BIC remnant under independent dissipation. Our results establish the non-Hermitian dynamical spectrum as a framework for connecting stability, nonequilibrium dynamics, and asymptotic entanglement in open quadratic bosonic systems.

Iteratively decoded magic state distillation

We present numerical simulation results for the 7-to-1 and 15-to-1 state distillation circuits, constructed using transversal CNOTs acting on multiple surface code patches. The distillation circuits are decoded iteratively using the method outlined in [arXiv:2407.20976]. We show that, with a re-configurable qubit architecture, we can perform fast magic state distillation in $\sim\mathcal{O}(1)$ code cycles. We confirm that both circuits suppress an injected input logical error rate $p$ to $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ in the presence of additional circuit-level noise. This is done with two types of stabiliser proxies, distilling logical $|-\rangle$ and $|Y\rangle$ states, the latter is the intended state of the 7-to-1 circuit while a stabiliser-proxy for the 15-to-1 circuit. We then also provide numerical evidences for actual $|T\rangle$ state distillation using the 15-to-1 circuit with a faulty-$T$ measurement, leveraging recent near-Clifford simulation tools. Finally, we outline how ZX-calculus and Pauli webs can be used to benchmark stabiliser proxies for these distillation circuits.

Enhanced measurements on quantum computers via the simultaneous probing of non-commuting Pauli operators

Measuring the state of quantum computers is a highly non-trivial task, with implications for virtually all quantum algorithms. A promising avenue is multi-copy schemes, where identical copies of a quantum state are measured jointly so that all Pauli operators within the considered observable can be simultaneously assessed. Here, we present a first implementation of such a two-copy scheme in a measurement protocol. Based on Bayesian statistics, it accurately estimates not only the average of the desired observable but also the error en route. This enables an adaptive shot-allocation algorithm that preferentially samples the most uncertain Pauli terms. In regimes with many non-commuting Pauli operators, this ``double'' scheme can outperform the state-of-the-art measurement protocol in minimizing total shots for a given precision. We also numerically confirm the finding in previous theoretical works that the two-copy scheme incurs an overhead due to the square-root relationship between the variance of measured quantities and the number of measurement shots.

Thermodynamics of a phaseonium-driven optomechanical Otto engine

We study an optomechanical Otto engine whose working medium is a single-mode cavity driven by beams of coherently prepared three-level phaseonium atoms. The atoms are not thermal reservoirs in the Gibbs sense; rather, their populations and ground-state coherence set the detailed-balance ratio of the cavity collision map, so that the field relaxes to a Gibbs state at an operational apparent temperature. We combine the finite-time collision-model dynamics with radiation-pressure work extraction and compare three reservoir preparations: a thermal reference at the same apparent temperatures, an incoherent atomic beam with the same populations, and the coherent phaseonium beam. We show that the phaseonium isochore charges the cavity passively: the cavity ergotropy and energy-basis coherence remain zero up to numerical precision, while the state converges to the Gibbs fixed point selected by the apparent detailed balance. We further estimate lower bounds on the cost of preparing the atomic populations and coherence, showing that the relevant advantage of phaseonium is a resource-preparation tradeoff rather than a cost-free enhancement over a thermal bath at the same temperature. Finally, we assess the finite-time performance of a two-cavity cascade with additive mechanical work accounting. Over the investigated coherence-phase range, the cascade produces approximately $47\%$--$52\%$ more power than the single-cavity engine while requiring only $65\%$--$68\%$ of the hot and cold phaseonium atoms needed by two independent engines, resulting in a $9\%$--$15\%$ enhancement of power per injected atom over a complete cycle.
