Evaluating Energy Differences on a Quantum Computer with Robust Phase Estimation.
A. Russo, K. Rudinger, B. Morrison +1 more·Jul 17, 2020
We adapt the robust phase estimation algorithm to the evaluation of energy differences between two eigenstates using a quantum computer. This approach does not require controlled unitaries between auxiliary and system registers or even a single auxil...
Quantum Computation of Fluid Dynamics
Sachin S. Bharadwaj, K. Sreenivasan·Jul 17, 2020
Studies of strongly nonlinear dynamical systems such as turbulent flows call for superior computational prowess. With the advent of quantum computing, a plethora of quantum algorithms have demonstrated, both theoretically and experimentally, more pow...
Abelian topological order of ν=2/5 and 3/7 fractional quantum Hall states in lattice models
Bartholomew Andrews, M. Mohan, T. Neupert·Jul 17, 2020
Determining the statistics of elementary excitations supported by fractional quantum Hall states is crucial to understanding their properties and potential applications. In this paper, we use the topological entanglement entropy as an indicator of Ab...
Optimal universal quantum error correction via bounded reference frames
Yuxiang Yang, Y. Mo, J. Renes +2 more·Jul 17, 2020
Error correcting codes with a universal set of transversal gates are a desideratum for quantum computing. Such codes, however, are ruled out by the Eastin-Knill theorem. Moreover, the theorem also rules out codes which are covariant with respect to t...
Integer factorization and Riemann's hypothesis: Why two-item joint replenishment is hard
Andreas S. Schulz, C. Telha·Jul 17, 2020
Distribution networks with periodically repeating events often hold great promise to exploit economies of scale. Joint replenishment problems are a fundamental model in inventory management, manufacturing, and logistics that capture these effects. Ho...
High-fidelity two-qubit gates in silicon above one Kelvin.
L. Petit, M. Russ, H. Eenink +4 more·Jul 17, 2020
Spin qubits in quantum dots define an attractive platform for scalable quantum information because of their compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing, their long coherence times, and the ability to operate at temperatures exceeding one Kelvin. Q...
A non-algorithmic approach to “programming” quantum computers via machine learning
Nathan L. Thompson, J. Steck, E. Behrman·Jul 16, 2020
Major obstacles remain to the implementation of macroscopic quantum computing: hardware problems of noise, decoherence, and scaling; software problems of error correction; and, most important, algorithm construction. Finding truly quantum algorithms ...
Achieving fair sampling in quantum annealing
Vaibhaw Kumar, Casey Tomlin, C. Nehrkorn +2 more·Jul 16, 2020
Sampling all ground states of a Hamiltonian with equal probability is a desired feature of a sampling algorithm, but recent studies indicate that common variants of transverse field quantum annealing sample the ground state subspace unfairly. In this...
Quantum algorithms for graph problems with cut queries
Troy Lee, M. Santha, Shengyu Zhang·Jul 16, 2020
Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with $m$ edges. When asked a subset $S$ of vertices, a cut query on $G$ returns the number of edges of $G$ that have exactly one endpoint in $S$. We show that there is a bounded-error quantum algorithm that determines a...
Experimental implementation of non-Clifford interleaved randomized benchmarking with a controlled- S gate
Shelly Garion, Naoki Kanazawa, H. Landa +4 more·Jul 16, 2020
Hardware efficient transpilation of quantum circuits to a quantum devices native gateset is essential for the execution of quantum algorithms on noisy quantum computers. Typical quantum devices utilize a gateset with a single two-qubit Clifford entan...
Electrical control of coherent spin rotation of a single-spin qubit
Xiaoche Wang, Yuxuan Xiao, Chuanpu Liu +7 more·Jul 15, 2020
Nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, optically active atomic defects in diamond, have attracted tremendous interest for quantum sensing, network, and computing applications due to their excellent quantum coherence and remarkable versatility in a real, ambi...
Fast Estimation of Sparse Quantum Noise
R. Harper, Wenjun Yu, S. Flammia·Jul 15, 2020
As quantum computers approach the fault tolerance threshold, diagnosing and characterizing the noise on large scale quantum devices is increasingly important. One of the most important classes of noise channels is the class of Pauli channels, for rea...

Y. Sanders, D. Berry, Pedro C. S. Costa +5 more·Jul 14, 2020
Here we explore which heuristic quantum algorithms for combinatorial optimization might be most practical to try out on a small fault-tolerant quantum computer. We compile circuits for several variants of quantum accelerated simulated annealing inclu...

Boris Sokolov, M. Rossi, Guillermo García-Pérez +1 more·Jul 14, 2020
We introduce an experimentally accessible network representation for many-body quantum states based on entanglement between all pairs of its constituents. We illustrate the power of this representation by applying it to a paradigmatic spin chain mode...
