Summary: Weyl semimetals have been studied extensively, and recent research focuses on manipulating the location of Weyl nodes for non-Abelian braiding. A certain type of phase transition imposes a significant reorganization of Weyl nodes, particularly for pairs of nodes with nontrivial topology, which can only be achieved through braiding with adjacent nodes. This motion and braiding process can be driven by small temperature changes.

Summary: Stabilizer codes allow for non-local encoding and processing of quantum information. Deformations of stabilizer surface codes introduce new and non-trivial geometry, leading to emergence of long sought after objects known as projective Ising non-Abelian anyons. We present a simple and systematic approach to construct effective unitary protocols for braiding, manipulation and readout of non-Abelian anyons.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for designing superconducting quantum processor architectures for running specific quantum programs based on graph theory. By considering the trade-off between performance and frequency collisions, a mathematical model is built and an automatic processor architecture design flow is proposed. Simulation results show that the architecture schemes of this method outperform existing general-purpose square lattice architecture schemes and eff-5-freq's architecture schemes.

Summary: This paper focuses on local routing strategies on geometric graphs, utilizing geometric properties of nodes to route, with a particular emphasis on routing in the presence of constraints. It introduces a deterministic 1-local 0 (1)-memory routing algorithm that guarantees finding a path in the visibility graph of a set of points with constraints. Additionally, it discusses the impossibility of a competitive routing algorithm when restricted to triangles intersected by a line segment in any triangulation of the points.

Summary: Non-Abelian anyons are exotic quasiparticle excitations that break the fermion-boson dichotomy and obey non-Abelian braiding statistics. Experimental observation of these anyons and their characterizing braiding statistics has been challenging and elusive. However, in this study, we demonstrate an experimental quantum digital simulation of non-Abelian anyons and their braiding statistics using a two-dimensional lattice of programmable superconducting qubits.

Summary: The recent theoretical work discovered that the braid group characterizes the topology of non-Hermitian periodic systems, where the complex band energies can braid in momentum space. This study introduces a tight-binding lattice model that can achieve arbitrary elements in the braid group of two strands B-2 and experimentally demonstrates topological complex-energy braiding of non-Hermitian bands in a synthetic dimension. The results provide a direct demonstration of the braid-group characterization of non-Hermitian topology and open a pathway for designing and realizing topologically robust phases in open classical and quantum systems.

Summary: We present a high dynamic range Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA) that utilizes an array of rf-SQUIDs as the active nonlinear element. The amplifier is matched to the 50-ohm environment and achieves a bandwidth of 250-300 MHz with input saturation powers up to -95 dBm at 20 dB gain. A 54-qubit Sycamore processor is utilized for benchmarking these devices, providing calibration for readout power, estimation of amplifier added noise, and comparison against standard impedance matched parametric amplifiers with a single dc-SQUID. The results demonstrate that the high power rf-SQUID array design has no adverse effects on system noise, readout fidelity, or qubit dephasing, with an estimated upper bound of amplifier added noise at 1.6 times the quantum limit. Additionally, this design shows no degradation in readout fidelity due to gain compression that can occur in multi-tone multiplexed readout with traditional JPAs.

Summary: Twisted van der Waals multilayers are regarded as a rich platform for accessing novel electronic phases. This study proposes that naturally formed stacking domains due to relative twist between layers can act as an additional control knob. The researchers observe selective adhesion of metallic nanoparticles and liquid water at domains with specific stacking configurations and demonstrate the manipulation of nanoparticles can locally reconfigure the moire superlattice.

Summary: The structural ground states and temperature-dependent evolution of the kagome superconductors KV3Sb5, RbV3Sb5, and CsV3Sb5 have been investigated. KV3Sb5 and RbV3Sb5 exhibit 2 x 2 x 2 superstructures with staggered trihexagonal deformation of vanadium layers in the Fmmm space group. CsV3Sb5 displays more complex structural evolution, with a staged progression of ordering into a 2 x 2 x 4 supercell exhibiting trihexagonal and Star of David patterns of deformations. Diffraction under pulsed magnetic fields suggests that the CDW state of CsV3Sb5 is insensitive to external magnetic fields.

Summary: In this study, the stability of charge order in the kagome metal ScV6Sn6 is investigated. Short-range and long-range charge correlations at different wave vectors are observed, which are both quenched upon the introduction of larger Y ions. The results validate the theoretical prediction of the primary lattice instability and provide insights into the frustration of charge order in this compound.

Summary: Machine learning is a promising approach for studying complex phenomena with rich datasets. This study introduces a hybrid-correlation convolutional neural network (hybrid-CCNN) and applies it to experimental data generated by a programmable quantum simulator. The hybrid-CCNN is able to discover and identify new quantum phases on square lattices with programmable interactions. This combination of programmable quantum simulators with machine learning provides a powerful tool for exploring correlated quantum states of matter.
