Today's quantum computers operate with a binary encoding that is the quantum analog of classical bits. Yet, the underlying quantum hardware consists of information carriers that are not necessarily binary, but typically exhibit a rich multilevel structure, which is artificially restricted to two dimensions. A wide range of applications from quantum chemistry to quantum simulation, on the other hand, would benefit from access to higher-dimensional Hilbert spaces, which conventional quantum computers can only emulate. Here we demonstrate a universal qudit quantum processor using trapped ions with a local Hilbert space dimension of up to 7. With a performance similar to qubit quantum processors, this approach enables native simulation of high-dimensional quantum systems, as well as more efficient implementation of qubit-based algorithms.

  1. Analytical Landscape of Maximal Magic for Two-Qutrit States and Beyond

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Maximal stabilizer Rényi entropy for two-qutrit states is ln(81/17), achieved at 18 degenerate maxima; a general prime-d formula ln[d⁴/(2d²−1)] is conjectured and verified for d=2,3,5.

  2. Parafermionic and decoupled multicritical points in a frustrated $\mathbb{Z}_6$ clock chain

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A frustrated Z6 clock chain has decoupled Ising-Potts multicritical points and a terminating Z6 parafermion multicritical point far from integrability.

  3. Fault-Tolerant Resource Comparison of Qudit and Qubit Encodings for Diagonal Quadratic Operators

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Qudit encodings for quadratic diagonal evolutions require exponentially stronger synthesis advantages than qubits to win asymptotically in product formulas but can yield constant-factor savings in LCU at low d.

  4. Fault-Tolerant Resource Comparison of Qudit and Qubit Encodings for Diagonal Quadratic Operators

    quant-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    For diagonal quadratic evolutions, qubit encodings are asymptotically cheaper than qudit encodings in both Trotter and LCU settings, but small-dimension qudits can win under favorable synthesis or code-switching assumptions.

  5. Fault-Tolerant Resource Comparison of Qudit and Qubit Encodings for Diagonal Quadratic Operators

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The paper derives explicit finite-d break-even synthesis costs for qudit vs. qubit encodings of diagonal quadratic operators in product-formula and LCU simulations, identifying low-d regions where qudits yield savings.

  6. Experimental verification of multi-copy activation of genuine multipartite entanglement

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 4.0

    Experimental demonstration that two copies of a biseparable three-qubit state exhibit genuine multipartite entanglement when combined on a trapped-ion device.
