• Abstract: We introduce a new framework for achieving universal topological quantum computation using Ising anyons via braiding alone. Our approach builds on recent developments in non-semisimple topological quantum field theories in (2+1)-dimensions, which extend the traditional semisimple paradigm. While standard Ising anyons are limited to Clifford operations and thus not computationally universal, we show that their non-semisimple counterparts give rise to new anyon types we call \emph{neglectons}; adding a single neglecton to the traditional Ising theory enables universal quantum computation through braiding alone. The resulting braid group representations are unitary with respect to an indefinite Hermitian form, with the computational subspace embedded in a positive-definite sector. We identify a range of parameters for which the model supports universal gate sets and, notably, special values of the parameter $\alpha$ where the computational subspace decouples exactly from the negative-norm components of the Hilbert space. This leads to low-leakage, fully unitary evolution on the physical subspace and improved prospects for efficient gate compilation.

  We show that expressive variational ansatze enter a Haar-like universality class in which both observable expectation values and parameter gradients concentrate exponentially with system size.<n>As a consequence, the hypothesis class induced by such circuits collapses with high probability to a narrow family of near-constant functions.<n>We further show that this collapse is not unavoidable: tensor-structured VQCs, including tensor-network-based and tensor-hypernetwork parameterizations, lie outside the Haar-like universality class.

  We study extensions of the mappings arising in usual channel-state duality to the case of Hilbert spaces with a direct sum structure. This setting arises in representations of algebras with centers, which are commonly associated with constraints. It has many physical applications from quantum many-body theory to holography and quantum gravity.

  We show that the boundary of expectation value space corresponds to the ground state, which presents a natural bound that generalizes Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Our approach provides an alternative time-independent quantum formulation that transforms the linear problem in a high-dimensional Hilbert space into a nonlinear algebro-geometric problem in a low dimension.

  Existing generalization bounds fail to explain crucial factors that drive the generalization of modern neural networks. We derive instance-dependent generalization bounds that depend on the local Lipschitz regularity of the learned prediction function in the data space. We empirically analyze our generalization bounds for neural networks, showing that the bound values are meaningful and capture the effect of popular regularization methods during training.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  Universal control over a bosonic degree of freedom is key in the quest for quantum-based technologies. Here we consider a single ancillary two-level system, interacting with the bosonic mode of interest via a driven quantum Rabi model. We show that it is sufficient to induce the deterministic realization of a large class of Gaussian and non-Gaussian gates, which in turn provide universal bosonic control.

  We compare the Ising ($k=2$) anyon and Fibonacci ($k=3$) anyon models, motivated by their potential for future realizations based on Majorana fermion quasiparticles or exotic fractional quantum-Hall states. We find that for reasonable levels of decoherence, even the hybrid Ising anyon model retains a significant topological advantage over a conventional, non-topological, quantum computer.
