SPS Beam Dump Facility -- Comprehensive Design Study
C. Ahdida, R. G. Alia, G. Arduini +45
The proposed Beam Dump Facility (BDF) is foreseen to be located at the North Area of the SPS. It is designed to be able to serve both beam dump like and fixed target experiments. T…
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) - 2018 Summary Report
The CLIC, CLICdp collaborations, : +692
The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a TeV-scale high-luminosity linear collider under development at CERN. Following the CLIC conceptual design published in 2012, this r…
Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to dark photons decaying to a pair of charged particles
SHiP Collaboration, C. Ahdida, A. Akmete +331
Dark photons are hypothetical massive vector particles that could mix with ordinary photons. The simplest theoretical model is fully characterised by only two parameters: the mass…
A primary electron beam facility at CERN -- eSPS Conceptual design report
M. Aicheler, T. Akesson, F. Antoniou +52
The design of a primary electron beam facility at CERN is described. The study has been carried out within the framework of the wider Physics Beyond Colliders study. It re-enables…
Graph comparison via nonlinear quantum search
M. Chiew, K. de Lacy, C. H. Yu +2
In this paper we present an efficiently scaling quantum algorithm which finds the size of the maximum common edge subgraph for a pair of arbitrary graphs and thus provides a meanin…
Deterministic spatial search using alternating quantum walks
S. Marsh, J. B. Wang
This paper examines the performance of spatial search where the Grover diffusion operator is replaced by continuous-time quantum walks on a class of interdependent networks. We pro…
SND@LHC
SHiP Collaboration, C. Ahdida, A. Akmete +341
We propose to build and operate a detector that, for the first time, will measure the process at the LHC and search for feebly interacting particles (FIPs) in an unexplo…
A framework for optimal quantum spatial search using alternating phase-walks
S. Marsh, J. B. Wang
We present a novel methodological framework for quantum spatial search, generalising the Childs & Goldstone () algorithm via alternating applications of marked-vertex…
Quantum walk-based portfolio optimisation
N. Slate, E. Matwiejew, S. Marsh +1
This paper proposes a highly efficient quantum algorithm for portfolio optimisation targeted at near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers. Recent work by Hodson et al. (…
