Traditional CIM models face two major challenges when addressing large-scale problems: slowness in convergence and susceptibility to local minima. To address these limitations, the Sliding Mode Control-Like Coherent Ising Machine (SMCL-CIM) integrates sliding mode control principles into the feedback mechanism of the CIM, inspired by classical dynamic control methods. Experimental results on random graphs and G-set benchmarks demonstrate that for the max-cut problem, SMCL-CIM achieves an approximately 79. 93% reduction in solution time while improving solution accuracy by 11.4%–15.3% under the same simulation conditions.

One key open question in this field is whether quantum algorithms (QAs) can be fully executed on a quantum computer. Many QAs currently rely on classical computers to evaluate conditional statements that quantum systems alone cannot assess. This dependency necessitates information transmission between quantum and classical systems, thus imposing performance limitations. To enable autonomous conditional evaluations on quantum systems, a quantum amplitude-phase judgment circuit (QAPJC), comprising primarily quantum inequality judgment circuits and equality judgment logic blocks, is proposed. This configuration achieves conditional judgment on quantum computers while imparting physical significance to the judgment process. The feasibility of the circuits is verified on a superconducting quantum computer. Comparative experiments confirm that QAPJC preserves the original performance of QAs while demonstrating the inherent advantages of quantum computing. This circuit can implement logic judgment functions akin to classical circuits and serve as a subroutine for various QAs, promoting their implementation in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.</p>","PeriodicalId":72073,"journal":{"name":"Advanced quantum technologies","volume":"8 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145058084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key components of this scheme include a ferromagnetic yttrium iron garnet sphere and a whispering gallery mode resonator supporting two counter-propagating modes. To further optimize the performance of the system, a coherent feedback loop is introduced to reinject the dissipated energy back into the system. This not only provides an additional coupling path for the system but also effectively avoids introducing additional noise caused by measurement. The design significantly enhances both bipartite entanglement and genuine tripartite entanglement. Meanwhile, by spinning the resonator, the cavity modes experience Fizeau drag due to the optical Sagnac effect, thereby achieving nonreciprocal entanglement, which is crucial for applications such as unidirectional quantum communication channels. Additionally, the research demonstrates that even in the presence of backscattering, the entangled state can still recover significantly, highlighting the robustness of entanglement under photon backscattering.

The present work shows that such a combination is feasible in light–matter interactions by a realizable asymmetric non-linear quantum Rabi model (QRM). Indeed, the non-linear coupling possesses a squeezing resource for diverging MP while the non-monotonous degeneracy lifting by the asymmetries induces an additional tunable transition which further enhances the MP by several orders, as demonstrated by the quantum Fisher information (QFI). The resource combination not only leads to cooperative boosts to the divergence of QFI but also brings divergence compensation with the merit of globally high MP. Moreover, the protocol is immune from the problem of diverging preparation time of probe state that may hinder the conventional linear QRM in application of QM.
