Editor-in-Chief Ortwin Hess shares his thoughts and highly cited research from APL Quantum View in Browser SUBMIT AN ARTICLE MANAGE MY ALERTS ABOUT THE JOURNAL APL Quantum Highly Cited Open Research from APL Quantum At just twenty months old, APL Quantum (APQ) already shows how a venue built to bridge quantum science and quantum technologies can accelerate progress. Our 10+1 top‑cited papers vividly trace that bridge: from the ideal wavelength for daylight free‑space quantum key distribution (QKD) and perspectives on quantum electrodynamics (QED) in space‑time‑varying media and metaphotonics, to connectivity-aware circuit design, variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) advances with symmetry‑breaking layers, and a hybrid Anderson‑impurity solver; from a near‑quantum‑limited kinetic‑inductance traveling‑wave parametric amplifier (KI‑TWPA) and quantum‑enhanced interferometry to the bosonic Mpemba effect; and from open hardware to the realities of post‑quantum cryptography. The breadth of this cohort—spanning ideas, phenomena, methods, and engineered systems—embodies our four APQ pillars of theory and fundamentals, phenomena and resources, applied science, and technologies. My thanks to our authors, referees, and readers for turning fundamental insight into implementation, and implementation into impact—a powerful affirmation of APL Quantum's mission. - Ortwin Hess Editor-in-Chief, APL Quantum ARTICLES Quantum-enhanced super-sensitivity of Mach–Zehnder interferometer using squeezed Kerr state Dhiraj Yadav, Gaurav Shukla, Priyanka Sharma, Devendra Kumar Mishra READ MORE > Efficient ground state preparation in variational quantum eigensolver with symmetry-breaking layers Chae-Yeun Park READ MORE > The ideal wavelength for daylight free-space quantum key distribution Mostafa Abasifard, Chanaprom Cholsuk, Roberto G.
