Quantum algorithms with local particle number conservation: noise effects and error correction

Michael Streif, Martin Leib, Filip Wudarski +2

Quantum circuits with local particle number conservation (LPNC) restrict the quantum computation to a subspace of the Hilbert space of the qubit register. In a noiseless or fault-t…

Forbidden subspaces for level-1 QAOA and IQP circuits

Michael Streif, Martin Leib

We present a thorough investigation of problems that can be solved exactly with the level-1 Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). To this end we implicitly define a cl…

Training the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm without access to a Quantum Processing Unit

Michael Streif, Martin Leib

In this paper, we eliminate the classical outer learning loop of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and present a strategy to find good parameters for QAOA based…

Solving Quantum Chemistry Problems with a D-Wave Quantum Annealer

Michael Streif, Florian Neukart, Martin Leib

Quantum annealing devices have been subject to various analyses in order to classify their usefulness for practical applications. While it has been successfully proven that such sy…
