Quantum Algorithms for Representation-Theoretic Multiplicities.
Martín Larocca, Vojtěch Havlíček·Jul 24, 2024
Kostka, Littlewood-Richardson, Plethysm, and Kronecker coefficients are the multiplicities of irreducible representations in the decomposition of representations of the symmetric group that play an important role in representation theory, geometric c...
The Questionable Influence of Entanglement in Quantum Optimisation Algorithms
Tobias Rohe, Daniëlle Schuman, Jonas Nusslein +3 more·Jul 24, 2024
The performance of the Variational Quantum Eigen-solver (VQE) is promising compared to other quantum algorithms, but also depends significantly on the appropriate design of the underlying quantum circuit. Recent research by Bowles, Ahmend & Schuld, 2...
Systematic study of High $E_J/E_C$ transmon qudits up to $d = 12$
Z. Wang, R. Parker, E. Champion +1 more·Jul 24, 2024
Qudits provide a resource-efficient alternative to qubits for quantum information processing. The multilevel nature of the transmon, with its individually resolvable transition frequencies, makes it an attractive platform for superconducting circuit-...
Qudit Quantum Programming with Projective Cliffords
Jennifer Paykin, Sam Winnick·Jul 23, 2024
This paper introduces a novel abstraction for programming quantum operations, specifically projective Cliffords, as functions over the qudit Pauli group. Generalizing the idea behind Pauli tableaux, we introduce a type system and lambda calculus for ...
Entanglement dynamics from universal low-lying modes
Shreya Vardhan, Sanjay Moudgalya·Jul 23, 2024
Information-theoretic quantities such as Renyi entropies show a remarkable universality in their late-time behaviour across a variety of chaotic many-body systems. Understanding how such common features emerge from very different microscopic dynamics...
Backdoor Attacks against Hybrid Classical-Quantum Neural Networks
Ji Guo, Wenbo Jiang, Rui Zhang +3 more·Jul 23, 2024
Hybrid Quantum Neural Networks (HQNNs) represent a promising advancement in Quantum Machine Learning (QML), yet their security has been rarely explored. In this paper, we present the first systematic study of backdoor attacks on HQNNs. We begin by pr...
Quantum memory based on concatenating surface codes and quantum Hamming codes
Menglong Fang, Daiqin Su·Jul 23, 2024
Designing quantum error correcting codes that promise a high error threshold, low resource overhead and efficient decoding algorithms is crucial to achieve large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. The concatenated quantum Hamming code is one o...
Accelerated Quantum Amplitude Estimation without QFT
Alet Roux, T. Zastawniak·Jul 23, 2024
We put forward a Quantum Amplitude Estimation algorithm delivering superior performance (lower quantum computational complexity and faster classical computation parts) compared to the approaches available to-date. The algorithm does not relay on the ...
Variational quantum algorithm based on Lagrange polynomial encoding to solve differential equations
Josephine Hunout, Sylvain Laizet, L. Iannucci·Jul 23, 2024
Differential equations (DEs) serve as the cornerstone for a wide range of scientific endeavors, their solutions weaving through the core of diverse fields such as structural engineering, fluid dynamics, and financial modeling. DEs are notoriously har...
