We introduce new parallel algorithms for efficiently simulating stabilizer (Clifford) circuits on GPUs, with a focus on data-parallel tableau evolution and scalable handling of projective measurements. Our approach reformulates key bottlenecks in stabilizer simulation -- such as Gaussian elimination and measurement updates -- into GPU-tailored primitives that eliminate sequential dependencies and maximize memory coalescing. We implement these techniques in QuaSARQ, a GPU-accelerated stabilizer simulator designed for large qubit counts and many-shot sampling. Across a broad benchmark suite reaching 180,000 qubits and depth 1,000 (roughly 130M gates), QuaSARQ shows substantial runtime improvements, with up to 105$\times$ speedup, and over 80% energy reduction on demanding instances. Moreover, QuaSARQ consistently outperforms Stim, a state-of-the-art CPU-optimized stabilizer simulator, as well as Qiskit-Aer (CPU/GPU), Qibo, Cirq, and PennyLane. Finally, QuaSARQ exhibits a significant advantage in many-shot sampling on large workloads. These results demonstrate that our parallel algorithms can significantly advance the scalability of stabilizer-circuit simulation, particularly for workloads involving extensive measurements and sampling.

We investigate the quench dynamics of interacting bosons on a two-leg ladder in presence of a uniform Abelian gauge field. The model hosts a variety of emergent quantum phases, and we focus on the superfluid biased-ladder phase breaking the $Z_{2}$ symmetry of two legs. We observe an asymmetric spreading of vortex current and particle density, i.e., the current behaves particle-like on the right and wave-like on the left, indicating spontaneous breaking of the spatial inversion symmetry. By decreasing the repulsion strength, it is found the particle-like current is more robust than the wave-like one. The evolution of entanglement entropy manifests logarithmic growth with time suggesting many-body localization matters.
