• Abstract: Symmetry is a powerful inductive bias, but in quantum reservoir computing (QRC) it cannot be imposed only by making the reservoir symmetric. QRC maps inputs through fixed quantum dynamics into nonlinear expectation-value features and trains only a classical readout, so the relevant symmetry must be visible in the measured feature map. We study cyclic forecasting tasks, such as sensors around a turbine or weather stations along a latitude circle, where the same local pattern should be forecast by the same rule wherever it appears on the ring. Thus, rotating the input by one site should rotate, not change, the predicted field. We show that a symmetric Hamiltonian is not enough: even large Pauli measurement sets can fail if their channels do not match the data symmetry, since optimization cannot recover channels that were never measured. We address this through observable-orbit completion, which measures symmetry-related observable channels and aligns encoding, dynamics, measurement, and readout. The strongest gains arise from aligning all four interfaces together, with matched spin-ring, real-weather, and IBM hardware checks supporting the same measured-span mechanism.

  Non-reciprocal propagation of energy and information is fundamental to a wide range of quantum technology applications. We show that interplay between anti-symmetric (symmetric) coherent and symmetric (anti-symmetric) dissipative interactions results in non-reciprocal couplings. We pave the way for realizing cooperative non-reciprocal transport in qubit ensembles without requiring time-modulated external drives or complex engineering.

• Surface Code Design for Asymmetric Error Channels [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a surface code design based on the fact that bit flip and phase flip errors in quantum systems are asymmetric. We show that, compared to symmetric surface codes, our asymmetric surface codes can provide almost double the pseudo-threshold rates. As the asymmetry of the surface code increases, the advantage in the pseudo-threshold rates begins to saturate for any degree of asymmetry in the channel.
