Approximate Quantum Compiling for Quantum Simulation: A Tensor Network based approach

Niall F. Robertson, Albert Akhriev, Jiri Vala +1

We introduce AQCtensor, a novel algorithm to produce short-depth quantum circuits from Matrix Product States (MPS). Our approach is specifically tailored to the preparation of quan…

Escaping barren plateaus in approximate quantum compiling

Niall F. Robertson, Albert Akhriev, Jiri Vala +1

Quantum compilation provides a method to translate quantum algorithms at a high level of abstraction into their implementations as quantum circuits on real hardware. One approach t…

The Kitaev honeycomb model on surfaces of genus

John Brennan, Jiří Vala

We present a construction of the Kitaev honeycomb lattice model on an arbitrary higher genus surface. We first generalize the exact solution of the model based on the Jordan-Wigner…

Implementation of photon partial distinguishability in a quantum optical circuit simulation

Javier Osca, Jiri Vala

We are concerned with numerical simulations of quantum optical circuits under certain realistic conditions, specifically that photon quantum states are not perfectly indistinguisha…

Constrained thermalisation and topological superconductivity

Stephen Nulty, Jiri Vala, Dganit Meidan +1

We examine the thermalisation/localization trade off in an interacting and disordered Kitaev model, specifically addressing whether signatures of many-body localization can coexist…
