From the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm to a Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz
Stuart Hadfield, Zhihui Wang, Bryan O'Gorman +3
The next few years will be exciting as prototype universal quantum processors emerge, enabling implementation of a wider variety of algorithms. Of particular interest are quantum h…
Measurement of complete and continuous Wigner functions for discrete atomic systems
Yali Tian, Zhihui Wang, Pengfei Zhang +3
We measure complete and continuous Wigner functions of a two-level cesium atom in both a nearly pure state and highly mixed states. We apply the method [T. Tilma et al., Phys. Rev.…
Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm for MaxCut: A Fermionic View
Zhihui Wang, Stuart Hadfield, Zhang Jiang +1
Farhi et al. recently proposed a class of quantum algorithms, the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), for approximately solving combinatorial optimization problems.…
A NASA Perspective on Quantum Computing: Opportunities and Challenges
Rupak Biswas, Zhang Jiang, Kostya Kechezhi +10
In the last couple of decades, the world has seen several stunning instances of quantum algorithms that provably outperform the best classical algorithms. For most problems, howeve…
Near-optimal quantum circuit for Grover's unstructured search using a transverse field
Zhang Jiang, Eleanor G. Rieffel, Zhihui Wang
Inspired by a class of algorithms proposed by Farhi et al. (arXiv:1411.4028), namely the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), we present a circuit-based quantum algor…
