Entanglement-Free Parameter Estimation of Generalized Pauli Channels
Junaid ur Rehman, Hyundong Shin·Feb 1, 2021
We propose a parameter estimation protocol for generalized Pauli channels acting on d-dimensional Hilbert space. The salient features of the proposed method include product probe states and measurements, the number of measurement configurations linea...
Special-Purpose Quantum Processor Design
Bing-Han Lu, Yuchun Wu, Wei-cheng Kong +2 more·Feb 1, 2021
Full connectivity of qubits is necessary for most quantum algorithms, which is difficult to directly implement on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum processors. However, inserting swap gate to enable the two-qubit gates between uncoupled qubits signifi...
Sampling electronic structure QUBOs with Ocean and Mukai solvers
A. Teplukhin, B. Kendrick, S. Mniszewski +7 more·Feb 1, 2021
The most advanced D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer has 5000+ qubits, however, every qubit is connected to a small number of neighbors. As such, implementation of a fully-connected graph results in an order of magnitude reduction in qubit count. To c...
Bandgap optimization in combinatorial graphs with tailored ground states: application in quantum annealing
Siddharth Srivastava, V. Sundararaghavan·Jan 31, 2021
A mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation is presented for parameter estimation of the Potts model. Two algorithms are developed; the first method estimates the parameters such that the set of ground states replicate the user-prescribed d...
Comparison of Cloud-Based Ion Trap and Superconducting Quantum Computer Architectures
S. Blinov, Benwei Wu, C. Monroe·Jan 31, 2021
Quantum computing represents a radical departure from conventional approaches to information processing, offering the potential for solving problems that can never be approached classically. While large scale quantum computer hardware is still in dev...
Simulating Many-Body Systems with a Projective Quantum Eigensolver
Nicholas H Stair, Francesco A. Evangelista·Jan 31, 2021
We present a new hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for optimizing unitary coupled-cluster (UCC) wave functions deemed the projective quantum eigensolver (PQE), amenable to near-term noisy quantum hardware. Contrary to variational quantum algorithms,...
Entanglement in bipartite quantum systems: Euclidean volume ratios and detectability by Bell inequalities
A. Sauer, J. Z. Bernád, H. Moreno +1 more·Jan 30, 2021
Euclidean volume ratios between quantum states with positive partial transpose and all quantum states in bipartite systems are investigated. These ratios allow a quantitative exploration of the typicality of entanglement and of its detectability by B...
Entropic barriers as a reason for hardness in both classical and quantum algorithms
Matteo Bellitti, F. Ricci-Tersenghi, A. Scardicchio·Jan 30, 2021
We study both classical and quantum algorithms to solve a hard optimization problem, namely 3–XORSAT on 3–regular random graphs. By introducing a new quasi–greedy algorithm that is not allowed to jump over large energy barriers, we show that the prob...
A Quantum Interpretation of Bunched Logic & Quantum Separation Logic
Li Zhou, G. Barthe, Justin Hsu +2 more·Jan 30, 2021
We propose a model of the substructural logic of Bunched Implications (BI) that is suitable for reasoning about quantum states. In our model, the separating conjunction of BI describes separable quantum states. We develop a program logic where pre- a...

Silicon spin qubits can be fabricated in a 300 mm semiconductor manufacturing facility using all-optical lithography and fully industrial processing. Full-scale quantum computers require the integration of millions of qubits, and the potential of usi...

Quantum algorithms for solving the Quantum Linear System (QLS) problem are among the most investigated quantum algorithms of recent times, with potential applications including the solution of computationally intractable differential equations and sp...

We present two classical algorithms for the simulation of universal quantum circuits on $n$ qubits constructed from $c$ instances of Clifford gates and $t$ arbitrary-angle $Z$-rotation gates such as $T$ gates. Our algorithms complement each other by ...

Jingwei Mu, Shaoyun Huang, Zhi-Hai Liu +7 more·Jan 27, 2021
Quantum dots (QDs) made from semiconductors are among the most promising platforms for the development of quantum computing and simulation chips, and they have the advantages of high density integration and compatibility with the standard semiconduct...
Broad-band spectroscopy of a vanadyl porphyrin: a model electronuclear spin qudit†
I. Gimeno, A. Urtizberea, Juan Román-Roche +5 more·Jan 27, 2021
We explore how to encode more than a qubit in vanadyl porphyrin molecules hosting a S = 1/2 electronic spin coupled to a I = 7/2 nuclear spin. The spin Hamiltonian and its parameters, as well as the spin dynamics, have been determined via a combinati...
Quantum simulation of molecules without fermionic encoding of the wave function
D. Mazziotti, Scott E. Smart, A. Mazziotti·Jan 27, 2021
Molecular simulations generally require fermionic encoding in which fermion statistics are encoded into the qubit representation of the wave function. Recent calculations suggest that fermionic encoding of the wave function can be bypassed, leading t...

Quantum information processing is steadily progressing from a purely academic discipline towards applications throughout science and industry. Transitioning from lab-based, proof-of-concept experiments to robust, integrated realizations of quantum in...
Impact of correlations and heavy tails on quantum error correction
B. D. Clader, Colin J. Trout, J. Barnes +3 more·Jan 27, 2021
We show that space- and time-correlated single-qubit rotation errors can lead to high-weight errors in a quantum circuit when the rotation angles are drawn from heavy-tailed distributions. This leads to a breakdown of quantum error correction, yieldi...
