Protecting Expressive Circuits with a Quantum Error Detection Code
Chris N. Self, Marcello Benedetti, David Amaro
A successful quantum error correction protocol would allow quantum computers to run algorithms without suffering from the effects of noise. However, fully fault-tolerant quantum er…
Estimating the Jones polynomial for Ising anyons on noisy quantum computers
Chris N. Self, Sofyan Iblisdir, Gavin K. Brennen +1
The evaluation of the Jones polynomial at roots of unity is a paradigmatic problem for quantum computers. In this work we present experimental results obtained from existing noisy…
Clifford Circuit Initialisation for Variational Quantum Algorithms
M. H. Cheng, K. E. Khosla, C. N. Self +4
We present an initialisation method for variational quantum algorithms applicable to intermediate scale quantum computers. The method uses simulated annealing of the efficiently si…
Characterization of variational quantum algorithms using free fermions
Gabriel Matos, Chris N. Self, Zlatko Papić +2
We study variational quantum algorithms from the perspective of free fermions. By deriving the explicit structure of the associated Lie algebras, we show that the Quantum Approxima…
