U(1) fields from qubits: An approach via D-theory algebra
D. Berenstein, H. Kawai, R. Brower·Jan 7, 2022
A new quantum link microstructure was proposed for the lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) Hamiltonian, replacing the Wilson gauge links with a bilinear of fermionic qubits, later generalized to D-theory. This formalism provides a general framework ...
Variational Quantum Computation of Molecular Linear Response Properties on a Superconducting Quantum Processor.
Kaixuan Huang, Xiaoxia Cai, Hao Li +12 more·Jan 7, 2022
Simulating response properties of molecules is crucial for interpreting experimental spectroscopies and accelerating materials design. However, it remains a long-standing computational challenge for electronic structure methods on classical computers...
Analytical Algorithm for Capacities of Classical and Classical-Quantum Channels
Masahito Hayashi·Jan 7, 2022
We derive an analytical algorithm for the channel capacity of a classical channel without any iteration, while its existing algorithms require iterations and the number of iterations depends on the required precision level. Hence, our algorithm is it...
Variational Quantum Simulation of Valence-Bond Solids
D. Huerga·Jan 7, 2022
We introduce a hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithm to simulate ground-state phase diagrams of frustrated quantum spin models in the thermodynamic limit. The method is based on a cluster-Gutzwiller ansatz where the wave function of the clus...
Hybrid Quantum-Classical Unit Commitment
Reza Mahroo, A. Kargarian·Jan 7, 2022
This paper proposes a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to solve a fundamental power system problem called unit commitment (UC). The UC problem is decomposed into a quadratic subproblem, a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) subproble...
Benchmarking characterization methods for noisy quantum circuits
Megan L. Dahlhauser, T. Humble·Jan 6, 2022
Effective methods for characterizing the noise in quantum computing devices are essential for programming and debugging circuit performance. Existing approaches vary in the information obtained as well as the amount of quantum and classical resources...
Compact localized boundary states in a quasi-1D electronic diamond-necklace chain
S. Kempkes, P. Capiod, S. Ismaili +10 more·Jan 6, 2022
Zero-energy modes localized at the ends of one-dimensional (1D) wires hold great potential as qubits for fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, all the candidates known to date exhibit a wave function that decays exponentially into the bulk and h...
Scaling quantum approximate optimization on near-term hardware
Phillip C. Lotshaw, Thien Nguyen, Anthony Santana +5 more·Jan 6, 2022
The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is an approach for near-term quantum computers to potentially demonstrate computational advantage in solving combinatorial optimization problems. However, the viability of the QAOA depends on how ...
Bibliometric analysis of topic structure in quantum computation and quantum algorithm research
T. Ichikawa·Jan 6, 2022
We present a bibliometric analysis of the research papers on quantum computation and quantum algorithms published in 1985-2020. We identify three distinct periods from the trend of the annual number of published papers, and show the 20 top contributi...
Quantum computing based on complex Clifford algebras
J. Hrdina, Aleš Návrat, Petr Vašík·Jan 6, 2022
We propose to represent both n-qubits and quantum gates acting on them as elements in the complex Clifford algebra defined on a complex vector space of dimension 2n. In this framework, the Dirac formalism can be realized in straightforward way. We de...

A. S. Arora, A. Gheorghiu, Uttam Singh·Jan 6, 2022
An important theoretical problem in the study of quantum computation, that is also practically relevant in the context of near-term quantum devices, is to understand the computational power of hybrid models, that combine poly-time classical computati...

This document explores how to make music using quantum computing algorithms. The text is an unedited pre-publication chapter which will appear in the book"Quantum Computer Music", Miranda, E. R. (Editor). This chapters provides the background and spe...
Collective unitary evolution with linear optics by Cartan decomposition
Wen‐Qiang Liu, Xiaoping Zhou, Hai‐Rui Wei·Jan 5, 2022
Unitary operation is an essential step for quantum information processing. We first propose an iterative procedure for decomposing a general unitary operation without resorting to controlled-NOT gate and single-qubit rotation library. Based on the re...

Jacopo Rizzo, Francesco Libbi, F. Tacchino +3 more·Jan 5, 2022
Many-body Green's functions encode all the properties and excitations of interacting electrons. While these are challenging to be evaluated accurately on a classical computer, recent efforts have been directed towards finding quantum algorithms that ...

Tzu-Ching Yen, Aadithya Ganeshram, A. Izmaylov·Jan 5, 2022
Obtaining the expectation value of an observable on a quantum computer is a crucial step in the variational quantum algorithms. For complicated observables such as molecular electronic Hamiltonians, one of the strategies is to present the observable ...
