Optimizing rodeo projection
Thomas D. Cohen, Hyunwoo Oh
The rodeo algorithm has been proposed recently as an efficient method in quantum computing for projection of a given initial state onto a state of fixed energy for systems with dis…
Boltzmann Distributions on a Quantum Computer via Active Cooling
Carter Ball, Thomas D. Cohen
Quantum computing raises the possibility of solving a variety of problems in physics that are presently intractable. A number of such problems involves the physics of systems in or…
Pure gauge theories and spatial periodicity
Thomas D. Cohen
Properties of pure gauge theories in thermal equilibrium as calculated via standard functional integral treatments are mathematically identical to ground state properties of a theo…
Quantum algorithms for transport coefficients in gauge theories
Thomas D. Cohen, Henry Lamm, Scott Lawrence +1
In the future, ab initio quantum simulations of heavy ion collisions may become possible with large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. We propose a quantum algorithm for study…
The thermodynamics of large-N QCD and the nature of metastable phases
Thomas D. Cohen, Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
In the limit of a large number of colors (N), both Yang-Mills and quantum chromodynamics are expected to have a first-order phase transition separating a confined hadronic phase an…
A Somewhat Random Walk Through Nuclear and Particle Physics
Thomas D. Cohen, Nicholas R. Poniatowski
These notes are an outgrowth of an advanced undergraduate course taught at the University of Maryland, College Park. They are intended as an introduction to various aspects of part…
