Morning arXiv Digest (2026-05-02) Selected papers • g-tensor Optimization in Ge/SiGe Quantum Dots (arXiv:2604.28081) • Takeaway: This paper gives a concrete optimization framework for engineering Ge/SiGe hole-spin qubit g-tensors, including heterostructure reshaping that suppresses unwanted in-plane components. • Why JK should care: It is directly about making qubit control more predictable and robust by design, which is exactly the kind of device-level control leverage you like. • Heisenberg-limited Hamiltonian learning without short-time control (arXiv:2604.27838) • Takeaway: The authors show you can keep optimal 1/ε Hamiltonian-learning scaling even when experiments cannot access arbitrarily short-time evolutions. • Why JK should care: That closes a painful theory-to-lab gap caused by finite bandwidth and pulse transients, so it is highly relevant to realistic characterization and control. • Parametrically Driven iSWAP Gate Using a Capacitively Shunted Double-Transmon Coupler at the Zero-Flux Sweet Spot (arXiv:2604.27679) • Takeaway: They demonstrate a 112 ns zero-flux-bias parametrically driven iSWAP with 99.92% average fidelity using a simple waveform and low effective ZZ. • Why JK should care: Sweet-spot operation plus simpler pulse requirements is exactly the sort of practical robustness win that matters for scalable control stacks. • Branch-Resolved Characterization of Feed-Forward Error in Dynamic Teleportation via Classical Choi Shadows (arXiv:2604.28037) • Takeaway: This work introduces a branch-resolved framework to diagnose measurement-conditioned feed-forward errors in dynamic teleportation, and validates it experimentally. • Why JK should care: It offers a cleaner way to localize dynamic-circuit error mechanisms instead of hiding them inside branch-averaged metrics. • Learning quantum disentanglement scheduling from reduced states via modular hybrid policies (arXiv:2604.28009) • Takeaway: The paper studies reduced-information quantum control and shows which hybrid quantum-classical policy ingredients actually matter for disentanglement scheduling. • Why JK should care: Even if the RL layer is not the main attraction, the reduced-state control framing is very close to realistic closed-loop control constraints. • Effective Noise Mitigation via Quantum Circuit Learning in Quantum Simulation of Integrable Spin Chains (arXiv:2604.27648) • Takeaway: The authors use shallow learned circuits to mimic deeper dynamics while preserving conserved quantities better than the noisy original circuits. • Why JK should care: It is a nice physics-informed error-suppression angle, especially because it trades depth for robustness without exponential mitigation overhead. • Unentangled stoquastic Merlin-Arthur proof systems: the power of unentanglement without destructive interference (arXiv:2604.27886) • Takeaway: This paper opens up the complexity class StoqMA(2) and shows surprisingly strong upper and lower bounds for unentangled stoquastic proof systems. • Why JK should care: It is the cleanest QIP-style theory pick today, with real complexity-content rather than generic quantum-algorithms fluff.
