Magic State Distillation using Asymptotically Good Codes on Qudits

Michael J. Cervia, Henry Lamm, Diyi Liu +2

Qudits offer the potential for low-overhead magic state distillation, although previous results for asymptotically good codes have required qudit dimension or code lengt…

Interactions of Neutrino Wave Packets

Michael J. Cervia

The low energy effective field theory of interacting neutrinos derived from the Standard Model may be framed as a pointlike interaction and thereby modeled on a lattice of neutrino…

Fuzzy gauge theory for quantum computers

Andrei Alexandru, Paulo F. Bedaque, Andrea Carosso +3

Continuous gauge theories, because of their bosonic degrees of freedom, have an infinite-dimensional local Hilbert space. Encoding these degrees of freedom on qubit-based hardware…

Reducing circuit depth with qubitwise diagonalization

Edison M. Murairi, Michael J. Cervia

A variety of quantum algorithms employ Pauli operators as a convenient basis for studying the spectrum or evolution of Hamiltonians or measuring multi-body observables. One strateg…

Qubitization strategies for bosonic field theories

Andrei Alexandru, Paulo F. Bedaque, Andrea Carosso +2

Quantum simulations of bosonic field theories require a truncation in field space to map the theory onto finite quantum registers. Ideally, the truncated theory preserves the symme…

How many quantum gates do gauge theories require?

Edison M. Murairi, Michael J. Cervia, Hersh Kumar +2

We discuss the implementation of lattice gauge theories on digital quantum computers, focusing primarily on the number of quantum gates required to simulate their time evolution. W…

Collective neutrino oscillations with tensor networks using a time-dependent variational principle

Michael J. Cervia, Pooja Siwach, Amol V. Patwardhan +3

If a system of flavor-oscillating neutrinos is at high enough densities that neutrino-neutrino coherent forward scatterings are non-negligible, the system becomes a time-dependent…

Spectral splits and entanglement entropy in collective neutrino oscillations

Amol V. Patwardhan, Michael J. Cervia, A. B. Balantekin

In environments such as core-collapse supernovae, neutron star mergers, or the early universe, where the neutrino fluxes can be extremely high, neutrino-neutrino interactions are a…

On symmetries of Hamiltonians describing systems with arbitrary spins

Michael J. Cervia, Amol V. Patwardhan, A. B. Balantekin

We consider systems where dynamical variables are the generators of the SU(2) group. A subset of these Hamiltonians is exactly solvable using the Bethe ansatz techniques. We show t…
