Measurement Crosstalk Errors in Cloud-Based Quantum Computing
Seungchan Seo, J. Bae·Dec 2, 2021
Quantum technologies available currently contain noise in general, often dubbed noisy intermediate-scale quantum systems. We here present the verification of noise in measurement readout errors in cloud-based quantum computing services, IBMQ and Rige...
Best-Practice Aspects of Quantum-Computer Calculations: A Case Study of the Hydrogen Molecule
Ivana Miháliková, M. Friák, Matej Pivoluska +3 more·Dec 2, 2021
Quantum computers are reaching one crucial milestone after another. Motivated by their progress in quantum chemistry, we performed an extensive series of simulations of quantum-computer runs that were aimed at inspecting the best-practice aspects of ...
EQC: ensembled quantum computing for variational quantum algorithms
S. Stein, Yufei Ding, N. Wiebe +5 more·Nov 29, 2021
Variational quantum algorithm (VQA), which is comprised of a classical optimizer and a parameterized quantum circuit, emerges as one of the most promising approaches for harvesting the power of quantum computers in the noisy intermediate scale quantu...

N. V. Horne, M. Mukherjee·Nov 29, 2021
Interfacing ion qubits in separate traps is among the challenges towards scaling up ion quantum computing. This theoretical study focuses on using a conducting wire to couple the motional quantum states of ions in separate planar traps. This approach...

Shigeo Hakkaku, Yuichiro Tashima, K. Mitarai +2 more·Nov 29, 2021
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have been proposed as one of the most promising approaches to demonstrate quantum advantage on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. However, it has been unclear whether VQAs can maintain quantum advan...
Quantum search degeneration under amplitude noise in queries to the oracle
A. Rastegin, A. M. Shemet·Nov 29, 2021
We examine how amplitude noise in queries to the oracle degrades a performance of quantum search algorithm. The Grover search and similar techniques are widely used in various quantum algorithms, including cases where rival parties are fighting over ...
Random Quantum Circuits Transform Local Noise into Global White Noise
A. Dalzell, Nicholas Hunter-Jones, F. Brandão·Nov 29, 2021
We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the regime of low fidelity, which corresponds to the setting where the computation experiences at least one gate-level error with probability close to one. We mod...
Probing many-body localization by excited-state variational quantum eigensolver
Shuo Liu, Shi-Xin Zhang, Chang-Yu Hsieh +2 more·Nov 26, 2021
Non-equilibrium physics including many-body localization (MBL) has attracted increasing attentions, but theoretical approaches of reliably studying non-equilibrium properties remain quite limited. In this Letter, we propose a systematic approach to p...
Performance comparison of optimization methods on variational quantum algorithms
Xavier Bonet-Monroig, Hao Wang, D. Vermetten +5 more·Nov 26, 2021
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) offer a promising path toward using near-term quantum hardware for applications in academic and industrial research. These algorithms aim to find approximate solutions to quantum problems by optimizing a parametr...

Here, we study the problem of decoding information transmitted through unknown quantum states. We assume that Alice encodes an alphabet into a set of orthogonal quantum states, which are then transmitted to Bob. However, the quantum channel that medi...
