Abstract

An effective Cold-Atom Rydberg Array (CoRA) architecture is investigated, which addresses the fundamental thermal noise limit in classical electromagnetics and intrinsic Doppler broadening as well as photon shot noise in conventional hot-vapor cell-based atomic receivers. However, translating the CoRA-based quantum electrometers into practical wireless communication receivers is bottlenecked by both the macroscopic readout dead-times and nonlinear binomial population counts rather than the additive-Gaussian baseband samples in conventional receivers. To address these critical challenges and facilitate the practicality of the CoRA, in this paper, a subarray scheduling-based spatiotemporal multiplexing (STM) framework is first proposed for gap-free symbol interrogation within an admitted packet. Additionally, a signal detection scheme based on a joint binomial particle smoother (JBPS) is proposed for burst-wise state and data inference. Furthermore, the weak-signal quantum-projection-noise (QPN) limit and the state-averaged finite-alphabet rate are derived for CoRA-assisted wireless communications. Numerical results demonstrate that: 1) The proposed STM-based CoRA scheme resolves the macroscopic temporal bottleneck for continuous signal sampling; 2) The proposed JBPS approach effectively mitigates the nonlinear noise amplification to achieve a lower bit error rate; and 3) Performance analysis reveals a fundamental sensitivity-sustainability tradeoff that increasing the number of atoms effectively suppresses the QPN, but simultaneously reduces the sustainable packet repetition rate.

Quantum XYZ Stabilizer Codes

Stabilizer codes are often constructed within the Calderbank--Shor--Steane (CSS) framework, where two mutually orthogonal binary classical codes define $X$ and $Z$-type stabilizer generators. While this structure is algebraically convenient, additional non-CSS constraints may help suppress low-weight logical operators and improve decoding performance in the finite-length regime. We thus introduce quantum XYZ stabilizer codes, whose parity-check matrix (PCM) is built from three pairwise orthogonal binary PCMs associated with $X$-, $Y$-, and $Z$-type stabilizer generators. A nontrivial point is that an XYZ code instance is not automatically genuinely non-CSS: the same stabilizer group may admit a CSS generating set. We characterize this collapse, obtaining algebraic and rank conditions for deciding when the $Y$-type checks are redundant and when they define genuinely non-CSS stabilizer constraints. We also derive upper and lower bounds on the quantum minimum distance, including bounds for mixed Pauli logical operators. The novel framework includes a known non-CSS topological code, namely the XYZ$^2$ hexagonal code, and yields also sparse finite-length quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) constructions from intersecting-subset and quasi-dyadic code families. Simulations under depolarizing code-capacity noise and quaternary belief propagation decoding show that the proposed XYZ qLDPC instances can outperform representative CSS qLDPC instances with similar finite-length parameters.

Coded Computing for Dynamic System via Cartesian Products

Coded distributed computing (CDC) mitigates the Shuffle communication bottleneck through coded multicast, but existing schemes with predetermined worker populations do not directly adapt to worker arrivals and disconnections. To address these dynamics, we propose a dynamic CDC scheme that preserves surviving workers' caches and Reduce assignments while exploiting the storage brought by arriving clusters. The model accommodates general MapReduce tasks under a placement that is partly fixed and partly new. The scheme uses Cartesian products of cluster-wise placement delivery arrays (PDAs) for file placement. A delivery-aware greedy algorithm reassigns abandoned Reduce functions, and a Communication Array allows workers with no Reduce function to serve as coded transmitters. For arbitrary feasible disconnections, the scheme's exact communication load is derived. A converse bound under one-shot communication shows that, in the absence of disconnections, the scheme lies within a factor of 2 of the lower bound under these assumptions when new clusters arrive, and within a factor of 4 otherwise.

Optimal Universal Coding of Integers

Universal coding of integers (UCI) provides prefix codes for positive integers such that, for every nonincreasing source distribution $P$, the average codeword length under $P$ stays within $K$ times $\max\{1,H(P)\}$. For a given UCI $\mathcal{C}$, the smallest such constant $K$ is called the minimum expansion factor of $\mathcal{C}$, denoted $C_{\mathcal{C}}^{*}$. Let $C^{*}\triangleq \inf \{C_{\mathcal{C}}^{*}\}$ over all UCIs. A UCI attaining $C^{*}$, or a family of UCIs attaining $C^{*}$ in the limit, is called optimal. It is currently known that $2\le C^{*}\le 2.0386$. In this paper, we construct a family of one-point plus uniform-tail distributions and prove that, for every UCI, a distribution in this family attains the worst-case ratio; thus, the family is least favorable for the UCI problem. We further establish an inequality, called the \emph{UCI inequality}, which plays the same role for UCI as the Kraft inequality does for prefix codes: for any real number $B\ge 1$, it decides whether $B$ lies below or above $C^*$. The UCI inequality gives an equivalent definition of $C^*$. By numerical computation, we determine $C^* = 2.00012475703610197861701176297579886254\cdots$, the first $38$ decimal digits being certified. Once $C^*$ is known, we can theoretically construct the optimal UCI.
