Quantum Cloud Data Centers (QCDCs) are one of the emerging fields that considerably enhance data computing by integrating quantum processing capabilities with conventional cloud infrastructure, which leads to high computational power for tackling complex challenges in comparison to the classic Cloud Data Center (CDC). Although QCDCs hold paramount importance, a few researches have been developed directly focusing on them. To this end, this paper presents a Machine Learning (ML)-assisted modeling and simulation of a QCDC and its electrical power prediction. The system includes a Quantum Processing Unit (QPU), cryogenic dynamics, error correction, and power prediction. Key classes include Qubit for quantum bits with noise and crosstalk, Quantum Processor for multi-Qubit gates, Cryogenic System for thermal management, and Surface Code for error correction. The developed ML model estimates power using simulation data and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). A central class unifies these, simulating circuits over 24,000 shots (24 hours) on a QCDC with two QPUs (200 Qubits each), testing a sample circuit with Hadamard, rotation, Control-Z (CZ), and measurement gates. Based on the conducted simulation results, the proposed model achieves KPIs well below 1.2, verifying its accuracy and performance in the predictive modeling of the proposed QCDC.

The quantification of social science remains a longstanding challenge, largely due to the philosophical nature of its foundational theories. Although quantum computing has advanced rapidly in recent years, its relevance to social theory remains underexplored. Most existing research focuses on micro-cognitive models or philosophical analogies, leaving a gap in system-level applications of quantum principles to the analysis of social systems. This study addresses that gap by proposing a theoretical and computational framework that combines quantum mechanics with Generative AI to simulate the emergence and evolution of social norms. Drawing on core quantum concepts--such as superposition, entanglement, and probabilistic measurement--this research models society as a dynamic, uncertain system and sets up five ideal-type experiments. These scenarios are simulated using 25 generative agents, each assigned evolving roles as compliers, resistors, or enforcers. Within a simulated environment monitored by a central observer (the Watcher), agents interact, respond to surveillance, and adapt to periodic normative disruptions. These interactions allow the system to self-organize under external stress and reveal emergent patterns. Key findings show that quantum principles, when integrated with generative AI, enable the modeling of uncertainty, emergence, and interdependence in complex social systems. Simulations reveal patterns including convergence toward normative order, the spread of resistance, and the spontaneous emergence of new equilibria in social rules. In conclusion, this study introduces a novel computational lens that lays the groundwork for a quantum-informed social theory. It offers interdisciplinary insights into how society can be understood not just as a structure to observe but as a dynamic system to simulate and redesign through quantum technologies.

Digital image security is increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks, underscoring the urgent need for robust encryption techniques. Traditional encryption methods often fall short in defending against advanced threats, highlighting the importance of innovative solutions to protect digital images. This study tackles these challenges by incorporating quantum computing into image encryption, employing techniques such as bit-plane scrambling, pixel permutation, and bit permutation. These strategies enhance security by introducing complex, non-linear transformations that make decryption attempts significantly more difficult without the correct cryptographic keys. A key configuration based on r=44, μ=2024 is employed to achieve this. The integration of quantum bit-plane scrambling and quantum pixel permutation results in a highly secure encryption method. Experimental results show substantial improvements in entropy levels, along with strong unified average changing intensity (UACI) and number of pixels change rate(NPCR) values across various images. Notably, the "Peppers" image achieved the best performance, with UACI values of 33.5572 and NPCR values of 99.8301. The method proves highly effective, as repeated tests with incorrect keys failed to decrypt the plain image accurately. Future research could explore the addition of a discrete quantum wavelet transform to further enhance the security and efficiency of quantum-based image encryption methods.

Quantum computers have shown promise in simulating complex quantum systems, including nuclear processes that challenge even supercomputers. We summarize the key ingredients to demonstrate the feasibility of a full nuclear transition simulation, covering also ground and excited state preparation. The tritium nucleus has been used to model strong interactions between nucleons, with quantum circuits used to represent the initial and final states. Variational quantum algorithms aid in preparing such states, requiring four qubits to describe spin-isospin states. Our results show low relative errors in the energy estimation for the obtained eigenstates. Additionally, the transition probability between these states has been estimated as a function of dipole polarization angle. We also study the transition for the neutron capture d(n, γ)t and compare the result with the tritium de-excitation.

Tailoring quantum error correction codes (QECC) to biased noise has demonstrated significant benefits. However, most of the prior research on this topic has focused on code capacity noise models. Furthermore, a no-go theorem prevents the construction of CNOT gates for two-level qubits in a bias preserving manner which may, in principle, imply that noise bias cannot be leveraged in such systems. In this work, we show that a residual bias up to η\eta\sim5 can be maintained in CNOT gates under certain conditions. Moreover, we employ controlled-phase (CZ) gates in syndrome extraction circuits and show how to natively implement these in a bias-preserving manner for a broad class of qubit platforms. This motivates the introduction of what we call a hybrid biased-depolarizing (HBD) circuit-level noise model which captures these features. We numerically study the performance of the XZZX surface code and observe that bias-preserving CZ gates are critical for leveraging biased noise. Accounting for the residual bias present in the CNOT gates, we observe an increase in the code threshold up to a 1.27%1.27\% physical error rate, representing a 90%90\% improvement. Additionally, we find that the required qubit footprint can be reduced by up to a 75%75\% at relevant physical error rates.

Quantum computing proposes a revolutionary paradigm that can radically transform numerous scientific and industrial application domains. To realize this promise, these new capabilities need software solutions that are able to effectively harness its power. However, developers may face significant challenges when developing and executing quantum software due to the limited availability of quantum computer hardware, high computational demands of simulating quantum computers on classical systems, and complicated technology stack to enable currently available accelerators into development environments. These limitations make it difficult for the developer to create an efficient workflow for quantum software development. In this paper, we investigate the potential of using remote computational capabilities in an efficient manner to improve the workflow of quantum software developers, by lowering the barrier of moving between local execution and computationally more efficient remote hardware and offering speedup in execution with simulator surroundings. The goal is to allow the development of more complex circuits and to support an iterative software development approach. In our experiment, with the solution presented in this paper, we have obtained up to 5 times faster circuit execution runtime, and enabled qubit ranges from 21 to 29 qubits with a simple plug-and-play kernel for the Jupyter notebook.
