| contents | We propose a new class of infrared dualities relating three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ $USp(2N)$ Chern--Simons SQCD to planar Abelian quiver gauge theories. These dual descriptions are constructed via real mass deformations of established $\mathcal N=4$ mirror dualities between $\mathcal{N}=4$ $USp(2N)$ SQCD and unitary $D$-type quiver gauge theories. The resulting $\mathcal N=2$ dual pairs exhibit the characteristic exchange of topological and flavor symmetries. We provide nontrivial evidence for these dualities by matching $\mathbf{S}^3_b$ partition functions, superconformal indices, and gauge-invariant operator spectra. Furthermore, we systematically incorporate additional real mass deformations on both sides of the duality, allowing us to extend the construction to $\mathcal{N}=2$ symplectic SQCD with generic ranks, flavors, and Chern--Simons levels. |
