Optimizing the Spin Reversal Transform on the D-Wave 2000Q
Elijah Pelofske, Georg Hahn, H. Djidjev·Jun 26, 2019
Commercial quantum annealers from D-Wave Systems make it possible to obtain approximate solutions of high quality for certain NP-hard problems in nearly constant time. Before solving a problem on D-Wave, several pre-processing methods can be applied,...
Quasiexact Kondo Dynamics of Fermionic Alkaline-Earth-Like Atoms at Finite Temperatures.
S. Goto, I. Danshita·Jun 21, 2019
A recent experiment has observed the antiferromagnetic interaction between the ground state ^{1}S_{0} and the metastable state ^{3}P_{0} of ^{171}Yb atoms, which are fermionic. This observation combined with the use of state-dependent optical lattice...
High-fidelity single-qubit gates in a strongly driven quantum-dot hybrid qubit with1/fcharge noise
Yuan-Chi Yang, S. Coppersmith, M. Friesen·Jun 19, 2019
Semiconductor double quantum dot hybrid qubits are promising candidates for high-fidelity quantum computing. However, their performance is limited by charge noise, which is ubiquitous in solid-state devices, and phonon-induced dephasing. Here we expl...

Michal Stkechly, N. Bashige, Przemyslaw Chojecki·Jun 17, 2019
We introduce a method for solving the Max-Cut problem using a variational algorithm and a continuous-variables quantum computing approach. The quantum circuit consists of two parts: the first one embeds a graph into a circuit using the Takagi decompo...
Mitigating coherent noise using Pauli conjugation
Z. Cai, Xiaosi Xu, S. Benjamin·Jun 14, 2019
Coherent noise can be much more damaging than incoherent (probabilistic) noise in the context of quantum error correction. One solution is to use twirling to turn coherent noise into incoherent Pauli channels. In this Article, we show that some of th...
Synthesizing Quantum Circuits via Numerical Optimization

We provide a simple framework for the synthesis of quantum circuits based on a numerical optimization algorithm. This algorithm is used in the context of the trapped-ions technology. We derive theoretical lower bounds for the number of quantum gates ...

We introduce a procedure to systematically search for a local unitary transformation that maps a wavefunction with a non-trivial sign structure into a positive-real form. The transformation is parametrized as a quantum circuit compiled into a set of ...

Alexander Cowtan, Silas Dilkes, Ross Duncan +2 more·Jun 4, 2019
We give an overview of the circuit optimisation methods used by tket, a compiler system for quantum software developed by Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd. We focus on a novel technique based around phase gadgets, a family of multi-qubit quantum opera...

Omar Shehab, Isaac H. Kim, N. Nguyen +5 more·Jun 2, 2019
We introduce an approach to improve the accuracy and reduce the sample complexity of near term quantum-classical algorithms. We construct a simpler initial parameterized quantum state, or ansatz, based on the past causal cone of each observable, gene...

P. Hou, L. He, F. Wang +7 more·May 29, 2019
Learning Hamiltonian of a quantum system is indispensable for prediction of the system dynamics and realization of high fidelity quantum gates. However, it is a significant challenge to efficiently characterize the Hamiltonian when its Hilbert space ...

Prakash Murali, N. Linke, M. Martonosi +3 more·May 27, 2019
In recent years, Quantum Computing (QC) has progressed to the point where small working prototypes are available for use. Termed Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers, these prototypes are too small for large benchmarks or even for Quantu...
