Quantum mechanics can reduce the complexity of classical models

Stochastic processes play an important role in a broad range of scientific problems. This study demonstrates that a large class of such processes are most efficiently simulated by quantum mechanical models, thus reducing the complexity required to simulate them using classical models.

RiNALMo: general-purpose RNA language models can generalize well on structure prediction tasks

RiNALMo, a large-scale RNA language model trained on non-coding RNA sequences, captures structural information and achieves state-of-the-art performance on multiple tasks, notably generalizing to unseen RNA families in secondary structure prediction.

Quantum phases with differing computational power

Quantum phase transitions are generally associated with many-body quantum systems undergoing changes between different phases. This study examines the connection between such phase transitions and quantum information processing, and finds that different quantum phases can have different computational power.

Observing the operational significance of discord consumption

Entanglement is not the only type of quantum correlation. Quantum discord is a broader measure of such non-classical interactions. An experimental investigation now shows how quantum discord can be consumed to encode information, even in the absence of entanglement.

Metasurface-enabled broadband multidimensional photodetectors

The detection of light intensity, polarization, and spectral information with a single device is desired for efficient optical sensing and computing applications. Here, the authors report the realization of metasurface-assisted graphene photodetectors able to simultaneously detect polarization states and wavelengths of broadband infrared light.

A high-fidelity heralded quantum squeezing gate

A heralded squeezing gate with near unit fidelity is demonstrated, even for modest ancillary squeezing. A heralding filter is implemented in the feed-forward operation. With 6 dB of ancillary squeezing, a fidelity of 0.985 is experimentally obtained.

Modular quantum computation in a trapped ion system

Modern computation relies on modular architectures, breaking a complex algorithm into self-contained subroutines, whereas current quantum computers do not have such capability. Here, the authors provide an experimental demonstration of a modular quantum computation protocol using a trapped Yb ion.

Implementing quantum dimensionality reduction for non-Markovian stochastic simulation

Quantum technologies allow memory advantages in simulating stochastic processes, but a demonstration of this for non-Markovian processes (where the advantage would be stronger) has been missing so far. Here the authors fill this gap analytically and experimentally, using a single qubit memory to model non-Markovian processes.

Genomic adaptations to aquatic and aerial life in mayflies and the origin of insect wings

Genomic studies of paleopteran insects, such as mayflies, are needed to reconstruct early insect evolution. Here, Almudi and colleagues present the genome of the mayfly Cloeon dipterum and use transcriptomics to characterize its adaptations to distinct habitats and the origin of insect wings.

Interfering trajectories in experimental quantum-enhanced stochastic simulation

Quantum devices should allow simulating stochastic processes using less memory than classical counterparts, but only if quantum coherence is maintained through multiple steps. Here, the authors demonstrate a coherence-preserving three-step stochastic simulation using photons.

Single ion qubit with estimated coherence time exceeding one hour

Extending qubit coherence times represent one of the key challenges for quantum technologies. Here, after properly suppressing magnetic-field fluctuations, frequency instability and leakage of the microwave reference-oscillator, the authors infer coherence times of 5500 s for an Yb ion qubit.
