Abstract

ABSTRACT High‐dimensional quantum systems offer a promising pathway to exceed information capacity limits, yet realizing robust dense coding remains challenged by decoherence. While Floquet engineering allows dynamic control, its potential in high‐spin systems is not fully exploited. Here, presenting a novel integration of periodic driving with higher‐dimensional thermal spin models, we investigate the dense coding capacity of a two‐qutrit Heisenberg XXZ system with single‐ion anisotropy. By deriving an effective Hamiltonian, we analyze the effect of the external driving parameters on the system's quantum resources. We demonstrate capacity modulation via the Floquet driving ratio, where renormalization factor zeros induce dynamical decoupling, suppressing quantum advantage. Crucially, negative single‐ion anisotropy amplifies quantum efficiency gain to approximately 95% relative to the classical limit, offering resilience against thermal fluctuations. Furthermore, we numerically demonstrate a monotonic, nonlinear parametric dependence between capacity and negativity, revealing a critical entanglement threshold required to surpass the classical Holevo bound. These results provide a blueprint for designing tunable, high‐capacity quantum channels, highlighting anisotropy as a pivotal control parameter.

Floquet control of quantum dissipation in spin chains

Controlling the decoherence induced by the interaction of quantum system with its environment is a fundamental challenge in quantum technology. Utilizing Floquet theory, we explore the constructive role of temporal periodic driving in suppressing decoherence of a spin-1/2 particle coupled to a spin bath. It is revealed that, accompanying the formation of a Floquet bound state in the quasienergy spectrum of the whole system including the system and its environment, the dissipation of the spin system can be inhibited and the system tends to coherently synchronize with the driving. It can be seen as an analog to the decoherence suppression induced by the structured environment in spatially periodic photonic crystal setting. Comparing with other decoherence control schemes, our protocol is robust against the fluctuation of control parameters and easy to realize in practice. It suggests a promising perspective of periodic driving in decoherence control.

Approximate Realization of Four-Dimensional Topological QuantumCodes on Two-Dimensional Architectures via Machine Learning andEntanglement-Assisted Floquet Engineering

Parham Ghayour

Abstract Four-dimensional (4D) topological quantum codes occupy a privileged position in quantum information theory: they are among the only known models exhibiting passive self-correction via macroscopic energy barriers and thermodynamic stability. However, physical quantum hardware is inherently limited to two or three spatial dimensions, making literal implementation of such codes impossible. In this work, we ask a different question: whether the logical and operational features of 4D topology can be approximated on two-dimensional (2D) hardware, even if the underlying phase of matter cannot. We introduce a framework for the approximate realization of 4D topological quantum codes on 2D architectures by combining three resources: synthetic dimensions induced by time-periodic control, entanglementassisted nonlocal connectivity, and machine-learning-based optimization. A mapping is constructed from the 4D toric code Hamiltonian to a periodically driven 2D system whose effective Floquet Hamiltonian reproduces the desired stabilizer structure up to controlled error. Virtual dimensions are realized using ancilla registers and time-indexed dynamics, while Bell-pair teleportation and graph-state primitives flatten geometric constraints and enable constant-depth realization of high-dimensional adjacency relations. Machine learning is deployed at three levels: (i) error-aware compilation and Floquet scheduling, (ii) learned stabilization and control pulse design, and (iii) neural decoding robust to mapping-induced distortions. We define precise operational metrics for approximation accuracy using channel distance, logical error rates, and effective barrier proxies, and provide rigorous error bounds from Trotter–Suzuki expansions and Floquet–Magnus theory. Numerical experiments demonstrate that entanglement-assisted routing suppresses geometric overhead, actionable neural decoding significantly reduces logical failure rates at finite size, and Floquet control yields tunable convergence toward ideal 4D dynamics. Although true thermodynamic self-correction remains forbidden in two dimensions, the resulting system exhibits an emergent regime of effective dimensional behavior in which key logical features of four-dimensional topology are operationally reproduced. Our results establish that dimensionality is not solely a geometric constraint but also a programmable resource mediated by entanglement, control, and inference. This work opens a pathway toward exploiting higher-dimensional code structure on near-term planar hardware and introduces a general paradigm for dimensionally enhanced quantum architectures.

Effect of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya anisotropic antisymmetric interaction on optimal dense coding

Liang Qiu, An Min Wang, Xiao Qiang Su +1 more

We study optimal dense coding in the two-qubit and two-qutrit Heisenberg XXX models with Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya anisotropic antisymmetric interaction (DM interaction). Both the DM interaction and the coupling parameter can enhance the maximum dense coding capacity for high temperature. For low temperature, in the two-qutrit system, the coupling parameter still enhances the maximum dense coding capacity, while the DM interaction weakens the capacity of the channel for dense coding.

Floquet engineering of quantum relaxation

Kang Xu, Dionisio Cendoya, Nazar Delegan +3 more

Dynamical decoupling suppresses decoherence by averaging selected interactions between a quantum system and its environment. Here, we extend this notion through a general Floquet formalism that maps periodic control onto relaxation and dephasing channels. Environmental fluctuations are decomposed into Floquet components that sample the noise spectrum at distinct frequencies, with coupling strengths determined by control-induced Floquet coefficients. We experimentally investigate this approach using a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond under multi-pulse control. By tuning the drive and detuning, we reshape the coupling to environmental fluctuations and create isolated operating points where the dominant decoherence channel vanishes, strongly suppressing Floquet dephasing. The resulting coherence enhancement follows the predicted Floquet coupling coefficients and can be shifted by modifying the control sequence. These results establish Floquet driving as a general framework for engineering transverse and longitudinal relaxation through the design of quantum control protocols.

Improving the capacity of quantum dense coding from decoherence of finite temperature using parity-time symmetric operations

Fei Chen, Yang Leng

Abstract This paper explores enhancing quantum dense coding capacity in finite-temperature decoherence environments via parity-time ( PT ) symmetric operations. We derive the master equation for a two-qubit system in a thermal bath, analyzing dense coding dynamics with and without PT symmetry operations. Without PT operations, the quantum dense coding capacity is highly sensitive to temperature parameter and decoherence rate, losing its advantage at high temperatures. Introducing a local PT symmetric operation on one qubit restores and surpasses the noiseless capacity. Additionally, numerical analysis demonstrates that by adjusting the non-Hermiticity, the optimal protection rate can always exceed 1. Our findings demonstrate PT symmetric operations as a novel tool to protect quantum correlations and enhance information transmission in realistic thermal settings, offering insights for robust quantum communication protocols.

Emergent strong zero mode through local Floquet engineering

Bhaskar Mukherjee, Ronald Melendrez, Marcin Szyniszewski +2 more

Periodically driven quantum systems host exotic phenomena that often do not have any analog in undriven systems. Floquet prethermalization and dynamical freezing of certain observables, via the emergence of conservation laws, are realized by controlling the drive frequency. Recent experimental developments in synthetic quantum matter, such as superconducting qubits and cold atoms, have opened avenues for implementing local Floquet engineering which can achieve spatially modulated quantum control of states. Here, we uncover the novel memory effects of local periodic driving in a nonintegrable spin-half staggered Heisenberg chain. For a boundary-driven protocol at the dynamical freezing frequency, we show the formation of an approximate strong zero mode, a prethermal quasilocal operator, due to the emergence of a discrete global Z2 symmetry. This is captured by constructing an accurate effective Floquet Hamiltonian using a higher-order partially resummed Floquet-Magnus expansion. The lifetime of the boundary spin can be exponentially enhanced by enlarging the set of suitably chosen driven sites. We demonstrate that in the asymptotic limit, achieved by increasing the number of driven sites, a strong zero mode emerges, where the lifetime of the boundary spin grows exponentially with system size. The nonlocal processes in the Floquet Hamiltonian play a pivotal role in the total freezing of the boundary spin in the thermodynamic limit. The novel dynamics of the boundary spin is accompanied by a rich structure of entanglement in the Floquet eigenstates where specific bipartitions yield an area-law scaling while the entanglement for random bipartitions scales as a volume-law. Our work addresses the long-standing question of the existence of a strong zero mode in a nonintegrable model and elucidates the complex nature of thermalization in locally driven systems.
