Interacting non-Hermitian edge and cluster bursts on a digital quantum processor.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dissipation can drive striking dynamics in quantum systems. A recent discovery is the non-Hermitian edge burst, where energy density transiently accumulates near boundaries rather than decaying uniformly. Previously observed in single-particle settings, this effect remains unexplored in interacting multi-particle systems, as tunable interactions are difficult to realize in conventional platforms, and non-Hermitian simulation is demanding on quantum processors. Here, we develop a framework for digital non-Hermitian Hamiltonian simulation that composes a linear-combination-of-unitaries scheme and product formulae. The method is efficient in classical preprocessing costs and circuit sizes. Implementing an interacting quantum ladder model on a superconducting quantum processor, we observe edge-burst signatures in up to 64 unit cells, directly probe dissipative-gap closing, and identify interaction-driven phenomena: spatially extended and patterned edge bursts, and cluster bursts in the bulk. Our study establishes digital quantum processors as a versatile platform for non-Hermitian physics.
