• Abstract summary: We leverage the classical theory of simplicial principal bundles, as well as structures on categories of such bundles, to provide powerful computational tools for analyzing twisted distributions. We use these techniques to analyze our key examples: quantum distributions and operator-theoretic polytopes used in the classical simulation of quantum computation.

• Abstract: We introduce a theory of twisted simplicial distributions on simplicial principal bundles, which allow us to capture Bell's non-locality, and the more general notion of quantum contextuality. We leverage the classical theory of simplicial principal bundles, as well as structures on categories of such bundles, to provide powerful computational tools for analyzing twisted distributions in terms of both direct constructions in simplicial sets and techniques from homological algebra. We use these techniques to analyze our key examples: quantum distributions and operator-theoretic polytopes used in the classical simulation of quantum computation.

• Bridging Classical and Quantum: Group-Theoretic Approach to Quantum Circuit Simulation [0.0]
  Efficiently simulating quantum circuits on classical computers is a fundamental challenge in quantum computing. This paper presents a novel theoretical approach that achieves exponential speedups (polynomial runtime) over existing simulators. The findings may have implications for quantum algorithm design, error correction, and the development of more efficient quantum simulators.

  A quantum computational framework for algebraic topology based on simplicial set theory is presented. The proposed set-up applies to any parafinite simplicial set and proceeds by associating with it a finite dimensional simplicial Hilbert space. A quantum algorithmic scheme capable to compute the simplicial homology spaces and Betti numbers of a simplicial set is outlined.

• Quantum Supermaps are Characterized by Locality [0.6445605125467572]
  We provide a new characterisation of quantum supermaps in terms of an axiom that refers only to sequential and parallel composition. We do so by providing a simple definition of locally-applicable transformation on a monoidal category. In our main technical contribution, we use this diagrammatic representation to show that locally-applicable transformations on quantum channels are in one-to-one correspondence with deterministic quantum supermaps.

• Simplicial quantum contextuality [0.0]
  We introduce a new framework for contextuality based on simplicial sets, models of topological spaces that play a prominent role in homotopy theory. Our approach extends measurement scenarios to consist of spaces (rather than sets) of measurements and outcomes. We present a topologically inspired new proof of Fine's theorem for characterizing noncontextuality in Bell scenarios.

We construct a simple and unambiguous approach to probe practical quantum advantage for generative modeling by measuring the algorithm's generalization performance. Our simulation results show that our quantum-inspired models have up to a $68 times$ enhancement in generating unseen unique and valid samples.
