Warm-Started QAOA with Custom Mixers Provably Converges and Computationally Beats Goemans-Williamson's Max-Cut at Low Circuit Depths
Reuben Tate, Jai Moondra, Bryan Gard +2
We generalize the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) of Farhi et al. (2014) to allow for arbitrary separable initial states with corresponding mixers such that the s…
A Classically Efficient Quantum Scalable Fermi-Hubbard Benchmark
Bryan T. Gard, Adam M. Meier
In order to quantify the relative performance of different testbed quantum computing devices, it is useful to benchmark them using a common protocol. While some benchmarks rely on…
Second-Scale Spin Coherence in a Compact Penning Trap
Brian J. McMahon, Brian C. Sawyer
We report microwave spectroscopy of co-trapped and within a compact permanent-magnet-based Penning ion trap. The trap is constructed with a recon…
Transport-enabled entangling gate for trapped ions
Holly N. Tinkey, Craig R. Clark, Brian C. Sawyer +1
We implement a two-qubit entangling Mølmer-Sørensen interaction by transporting two co-trapped ions through a stationary, bichromatic optical beam within a s…
Operadic Modeling of Dynamical Systems: Mathematics and Computation
Sophie Libkind, Andrew Baas, Evan Patterson +1
Dynamical systems are ubiquitous in science and engineering as models of phenomena that evolve over time. Although complex dynamical systems tend to have important modular structur…
High-Fidelity Bell-State Preparation with Ca Optical Qubits
Craig R. Clark, Holly N. Tinkey, Brian C. Sawyer +10
Entanglement generation in trapped-ion systems has relied thus far on two distinct but related geometric phase gate techniques: Molmer-Sorensen and light-shift gates. We recently p…
