Propagation of generalized Pauli errors in qudit Clifford circuits
Daniel Miller, T. Holz, H. Kampermann +1 more·Jul 16, 2018
It is important for performance studies in quantum technologies to analyze quantum circuits in the presence of noise. We introduce an error probability tensor, a tool to track generalized Pauli error statistics of qudits within quantum circuits compo...
Constructing Smaller Pauli Twirling Sets for Arbitrary Error Channels
Z. Cai, S. Benjamin·Jul 13, 2018
Twirling is a technique widely used for converting arbitrary noise channels into Pauli channels in error threshold estimations of quantum error correction codes. It is vitally useful both in real experiments and in classical quantum simulations. Mini...
Hamiltonian simulation with nearly optimal dependence on spectral norm
G. Low·Jul 11, 2018
We present a quantum algorithm for approximating the real time evolution e−iHt of an arbitrary d-sparse Hamiltonian to error є, given black-box access to the positions and b-bit values of its non-zero matrix entries. The query complexity of our algor...
Dephasing-Insensitive Quantum Information Storage and Processing with Superconducting Qubits.
Q. Guo, Shi-Biao Zheng, Jianwen Wang +11 more·Jul 10, 2018
A central task towards building a practical quantum computer is to protect individual qubits from decoherence while retaining the ability to perform high-fidelity entangling gates involving arbitrary two qubits. Here we propose and demonstrate a deph...
Black-Box Quantum State Preparation without Arithmetic.
Y. Sanders, G. Low, A. Scherer +1 more·Jul 9, 2018
Black-box quantum state preparation is an important subroutine in many quantum algorithms. The standard approach requires the quantum computer to do arithmetic, which is a key contributor to the complexity. Here we present a new algorithm that avoids...
An efficient quantum circuits optimizing scheme compared with QISKit
Xin Zhang, Hong Xiang, Tao Xiang +2 more·Jul 4, 2018
Recently, the development of quantum chips has made great progress-- the number of qubits is increasing and the fidelity is getting higher. However, qubits of these chips are not always fully connected, which sets additional barriers for implementing...
Encoding a qubit in a trapped-ion mechanical oscillator
C. Fluhmann, T. Nguyen, M. Marinelli +3 more·Jul 3, 2018
The stable operation of quantum computers will rely on error correction, in which single quantum bits of information are stored redundantly in the Hilbert space of a larger system. Such encoded qubits are commonly based on arrays of many physical qub...
Quantum-assisted quantum compiling
Sumeet Khatri, Ryan Larose, Alexander Poremba +3 more·Jul 2, 2018
Compiling quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers (accounting for connectivity and native gate alphabets) is a major challenge that has received significant attention both by industry and academia. Avoiding the exponential overhead of clas...
Molecular realization of a quantum NAND tree
Phillip W K Jensen, Chengjun Jin, Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers +2 more·Jun 27, 2018
The negative-AND (NAND) gate is universal for classical computation making it an important target for development. A seminal quantum computing algorithm by Farhi, Goldstone and Gutmann has demonstrated its realization by means of quantum scattering y...
Entanglement spectroscopy with a depth-two quantum circuit
Yiğit Subaşı, L. Cincio, Patrick J. Coles·Jun 22, 2018
Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers have gate errors and decoherence, limiting the depth of circuits that can be implemented on them. A strategy for NISQ algorithms is to reduce the circuit depth at the expense of increasing the qubit c...

A medium-scale quantum computer with full universal quantum computing capability is necessary for various practical aims and testing applications. Here we report a 34-qubit quantum virtual machine (QtVM) based on a medium server. Our QtVM can run qua...
Variational quantum algorithms for discovering Hamiltonian spectra
Suguru Endo, Tyson Jones, Sam McArdle +2 more·Jun 14, 2018
Calculating the energy spectrum of a quantum system is an important task, for example to analyse reaction rates in drug discovery and catalysis. There has been significant progress in developing algorithms to calculate the ground state energy of mole...
Quantum simulation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model by asymmetric qubitization
R. Babbush, D. Berry, H. Neven·Jun 7, 2018
We show that one can quantum simulate the dynamics of a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model with $N$ Majorana modes for time $t$ to precision $\epsilon$ with gate complexity $O(N^{7/2} t + N^{5/2} t \,{\rm polylog}(N/ \epsilon))$. In addition to scaling sublinea...
Experimental Realization of Controlled Square Root of Z Gate Using IBM's Cloud Quantum Experience Platform
Petar Nikolov, V. Galabov·Jun 7, 2018
Quantum computers form a technological cluster with huge growth in the last few years. Although this technology is of still very limited size: perhaps the reason it is not seen as a technology which may be mass produced or of public use in the near f...
Fault-Tolerant Logical Gates in the IBM Quantum Experience.
R. Harper, S. Flammia·Jun 6, 2018
Quantum computers will require encoding of quantum information to protect them from noise. Fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures illustrate how this might be done but have not yet shown a conclusive practical advantage. Here we demonstrate t...
