yet another quantum quantizer design space exploration of quantum gate sets using novelty search

Published on 2026-04-09 by Aritra Sarkar, Akash Kundu, Matthew Steinberg, Sibasish Mishra, Sebastiaan Fauquenot, Tamal Acharya, Jaros?aw A Miszczak and Sebastian Feld @IOP SCIENCE

Abstract: The standard model of quantum computation is based on quantum circuits, where the number and quality of the quantum gates composing the circuit influence the runtime and fidelity of the computation. The fidelity of the decomposition of quantum algorithms, represented as unitary matrices, to bounded depth quantum circuits depends strongly on the set of gates available for the decomposition routine. To investigate this dependence, we explore the design space of discrete quantum gate sets and prese[...]


Our summary: This study explores the design space of quantum gate sets using a software tool called YAQQ. It evaluates gate sets based on circuit depth, process fidelity, and novelty. The findings highlight optimized gate sets for quantum algorithms and practical applications in error correction and instruction set design.

Coverage Ratio&ndash;Based Evaluation of Antenna Omnidirectionality for a Pair of Microstrip Patch Antennas on a 6U CubeSat

Published on 2026-02-03 by Daisuke Nakayama, Kei Sano, Rin Sato, Tohlu Matsushima, Yuki Fukumoto @MDPI

Abstract: CubeSat missions increasingly rely on microwave-band communication systems, whose antennas often exhibit directional radiation patterns. As a result, multiple antennas are commonly used to improve coverage; however, a quantitative method to evaluate their performance across all spacecraft attitudes has been lacking. This paper introduces the Coverage Ratio of CubeSat Attitude (CRCA), a metric that quantifies the proportion of orientations for which the antenna gain exceeds a required threshold. [...]


Our summary: This paper presents the Coverage Ratio of CubeSat Attitude (CRCA) metric to evaluate antenna performance across spacecraft orientations. It demonstrates the CRCA using the S-band command antenna system of the 6U CubeSat VERTECS.
