Near- and long-term quantum algorithmic approaches for vibrational spectroscopy
Nicolas P. D. Sawaya, F. Paesani, Daniel P. Tabor·Sep 10, 2020
Determining the vibrational structure of a molecule is central to fundamental applications in several areas, from atmospheric science to catalysis, fuel combustion modeling, biochemical imaging, and astrochemistry. However, when significant anharmoni...
Experimental authentication of quantum key distribution with post-quantum cryptography
Liu-Jun Wang, Kaiyi Zhang, Jia-Yong Wang +9 more·Sep 10, 2020
Quantum key distribution (QKD) can provide information theoretically secure key exchange even in the era of quantum computers. However, QKD requires the classical channel to be authenticated, the current method for which is pre-sharing symmetric keys...
Advanced unembedding techniques for quantum annealers
Elijah Pelofske, Georg Hahn, H. Djidjev·Sep 10, 2020
The D-Wave quantum annealers make it possible to obtain high quality solutions of NP-hard problems by mapping a problem in a QUBO (quadratic unconstrained binary optimization) or Ising form to the physical qubit connectivity structure on the D-Wave c...
Studying many-body localization in exchange-coupled electron spin qubits using spin-spin correlations
R. Throckmorton, S. Das Sarma·Sep 9, 2020
We show that many-body localization (MBL) effects can be observed in a finite chain of exchange-coupled spin qubits in the presence of both exchange and magnetic noise, a system that has been experimentally realized in semiconductors and is a potenti...

Yongcheng Ding, Y. Ban, J. D. Mart'in-Guerrero +3 more·Sep 9, 2020
In the era of digital quantum computing, optimal digitized pulses are requisite for efficient quantum control. This goal is translated into dynamic programming, in which a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) agent is gifted. As a reference, shortcuts t...
Rodeo Algorithm for Quantum Computing.
Kenneth Choi, Dean Lee, J. Bonitati +2 more·Sep 9, 2020
We present a stochastic quantum computing algorithm that can prepare any eigenvector of a quantum Hamiltonian within a selected energy interval [E-ε,E+ε]. In order to reduce the spectral weight of all other eigenvectors by a suppression factor δ, the...
Variational Preparation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Thermofield Double
V. P. Su·Sep 9, 2020
We provide an algorithm for preparing the thermofield double (TFD) state of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model without the need for an auxiliary bath. Following previous work, the TFD can be cast as the approximate ground state of a Hamiltonian, $H_{\text{T...

N. Hendrickx, W. Lawrie, M. Russ +6 more·Sep 9, 2020
The prospect of building quantum circuits1,2 using advanced semiconductor manufacturing makes quantum dots an attractive platform for quantum information processing3,4. Extensive studies of various materials have led to demonstrations of two-qubit lo...
Enhancing the Quantum Linear Systems Algorithm Using Richardson Extrapolation
Almudena Carrera Vazquez, R. Hiptmair, Stefan Woerner·Sep 9, 2020
We present a quantum algorithm to solve systems of linear equations of the form Ax=b, where A is a tridiagonal Toeplitz matrix and b results from discretizing an analytic function, with a circuit complexity of O(1/√ε, poly (log κ, log N)), where N de...

Sowmitra Das, Md. Saifur Rahman, Mahbubon N. Majumdar·Sep 9, 2020
Quantum communication relies on the existence of entanglement between two nodes of a network. However, due to its fragile nature, it is nearly impossible to establish entanglement at large distances through the direct transmission of qubits. Quantum ...

We devise a classical algorithm which efficiently computes the quantum expectation values arising in a class of continuous variable quantum circuits wherein the final quantum observable—after the Heisenberg evolution associated with the circuits—is a...

We present an architecture to investigate wave-particle duality in $N$-path interferometers on a universal quantum computer involving as low as $2{log}_{2}N$ qubits and develop a measurement scheme that allows the efficient extraction of quantifiers ...
Quantum Walks

We present a novel application of the HHL (Harrow-Hassidim-Lloyd) algorithm --- a quantum algorithm solving systems of linear equations --- in solving an open problem about quantum walks, namely computing hitting (or absorption) probabilities of a ge...
Thermal Operations in general are not memoryless
Hanna Wojewódka-Ściążko, Maciej Stankiewicz, Edgar A. Aguilar +6 more·Sep 7, 2020
So-called Thermal Operations seem to describe the most fundamental and reasonable set of operations allowable for state transformations at an ambient inverse temperature $β$. However, a priori, they require experimentalists to manipulate very complex...

David Gosset, D. Grier, A. Kerzner +1 more·Sep 7, 2020
A general quantum circuit can be simulated classically in exponential time. If it has a planar layout, then a tensor-network contraction algorithm due to Markov and Shi has a runtime exponential in the square root of its size, or more generally expon...
