🔬 Researchers working on the QRC-4-ESP project - Moein Ivaki, Matias Karjula and Tapio Ala-Nissilä - have recently published new results in Quantum Physics 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2510.18623 ⚙️ The paper introduces a novel approach to designing QML systems that are both expressive and trainable.
Optimal quantum learning in proximity to universality
The boundary between classically simulable and computationally superior quantum systems is fundamental to identifying true quantum advantage. We investigate this within the framework of quantum reserv...

András Tárkányi and Viktor Ivády - working on the QRC-4-ESP project - have recently published a paper in Nature Communications on protecting ultra-shallow diamond qubits for nanoscale sensing. See www.nature.com/articles/s41...
A coherence-protection scheme for quantum sensors based on ultra-shallow single nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond - Nature Communications
Shallow NV centers in diamond are advantageous for quantum sensing but suffer from surface magnetic noise. Using first-principles simulations supported by experiments, the authors show that a combinat...
