Phonon controlled mechanical memory via pinning and depinning of transition waves
Samuele Ferracin, Dengge Jin, Vincent Tournat +1
Multistable mechanical metamaterials enable programmable transitions between discrete stable states through propagating kink transition waves (TWs). Yet controlling these kinks typ…
Effect of discreteness on domain wall stability in a plate coupled to a foundation of bistable elements
Dengge Jin, Samuele Ferracin, Vincent Tournat +1
Surfaces and structures capable of multiple stable configurations have attracted growing interest for on-demand shape morphing. In this work, we consider an elastic compliant plate…
When Clifford benchmarks are sufficient; estimating application performance with scalable proxy circuits
Seth Merkel, Timothy Proctor, Samuele Ferracin +4
The goal of benchmarking is to determine how far the output of a noisy system is from its ideal behavior; this becomes exceedingly difficult for large quantum systems where classic…
A Practical Introduction to Benchmarking and Characterization of Quantum Computers
Akel Hashim, Long B. Nguyen, Noah Goss +16
Rapid progress in quantum technology has transformed quantum computing and quantum information science from theoretical possibilities into tangible engineering challenges. Breakthr…
Shape-retaining beam-like morphing structures via localized snap through
Asifur Rahman, Samuele Ferracin, Sujata Tank +2
In this study, we present a concept of morphing structure -- featuring an arch mounted on a compliant base -- that can be reconfigured via snap-through buckling and leverages bista…
Extending the Computational Reach of a Superconducting Qutrit Processor
Noah Goss, Samuele Ferracin, Akel Hashim +5
Quantum computing with qudits is an emerging approach that exploits a larger, more-connected computational space, providing advantages for many applications, including quantum simu…
The Error Reconstruction and Compiled Calibration of Quantum Computing Cycles
Arnaud Carignan-Dugas, Dar Dahlen, Ian Hincks +6
Quantum computers are inhibited by physical errors that occur during computation. For this reason, the development of increasingly sophisticated error characterization and error su…
Efficiently improving the performance of noisy quantum computers
Samuele Ferracin, Akel Hashim, Jean-Loup Ville +7
Using near-term quantum computers to achieve a quantum advantage requires efficient strategies to improve the performance of the noisy quantum devices presently available. We devel…
Experimental accreditation of outputs of noisy quantum computers
Samuele Ferracin, Seth T. Merkel, David McKay +1
We provide and experimentally demonstrate an accreditation protocol that upper-bounds the variation distance between noisy and noiseless probability distributions of the outputs of…
Accrediting outputs of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing devices
Samuele Ferracin, Theodoros Kapourniotis, Animesh Datta
We present an accreditation protocol for the outputs of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. By testing entire circuits rather than individual gates, our accreditation protoco…
Reducing resources for verification of quantum computations
Samuele Ferracin, Theodoros Kapourniotis, Animesh Datta
We present two verification protocols where the correctness of a "target" computation is checked by means of "trap" computations that can be efficiently simulated on a classical co…
