Nearly optimal polynomial approximations for the quantum singular value transform
Evan Rule
We introduce polynomial approximations of the even and odd step functions on the interval with simple Chebyshev coefficients, making their numerical implementation straigh…
Revisiting Turner Window Axions: The Untapped Potential of NaI Dark Matter Detectors
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1
The "Turner window" corresponds to axions with masses 1 eV that have sufficiently strong couplings to matter to evade limits from the cooling of SN1987A. This window, thr…
Time-Dependent Wave-Packet Approach to Reactions for Quantum Computation
Evan Rule, Ionel Stetcu
We describe a method for obtaining the scattering matrix for nuclear or chemical reactions on a finite lattice. Aside from the preparation of the initial and final states as wave p…
CaRBM: A Fixed-Depth Quantum Algorithm with Partial Correction for Thermal State Preparation
Omar Alsheikh, A. F. Kemper, Ermal Rrapaj +2
We introduce the CaRBM algorithm for fixed-depth thermal state preparation. Our algorithm is based on thermal state purification and uses the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) blo…
Is the Turner Window Open? Seeking Closure with Resonant Absorption of Galactic Axions in NaI Dark Matter Detectors
W. C. Haxton, Xing Liu, Anupam Ray +1
Motivated by the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal, the dark matter community has invested heavily in ultra-clean underground NaI detectors to search for light WIMPs. We point ou…
The Effective Theory of Muon-to-Electron Conversion
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
We summarize recent work to develop an effective theory of muon-to-electron conversion, based on a complete set of low-energy effective operators that are developed from a systemat…
Recursive algorithm for constructing antisymmetric fermionic states in first quantization mapping
E. Rule, I. A. Chernyshev, I. Stetcu +2
We devise a deterministic quantum algorithm to produce antisymmetric states of single-particle orbitals in the first quantization mapping. Unlike sorting-based antisymmetrization a…
The Gallium Solar Neutrino Capture Cross Section Revisited
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
Solar neutrino flux constraints from the legacy GALLEX/GNO and SAGE experiments continue to influence contemporary global analyses of neutrino properties. The constraints depend on…
Simplified projection on total spin zero for state preparation on quantum computers
Evan Rule, Ionel Stetcu, Joseph Carlson
We introduce a simple algorithm for projecting on states of a many-body system by performing a series of rotations to remove states with angular momentum projections greater…
Nuclear-level effective theory of conversion: Inelastic process

Mu2e and COMET will search for electrons produced via the neutrinoless conversion of stopped muons bound in 1s atomic orbits of Al, improving existing limits on charged lept…
Effective theory tower for conversion
Wick Haxton, Kenneth McElvain, Tony Menzo +2
We present theoretical predictions for conversion rates using a tower of effective field theories connecting the UV to nuclear physics scales. The interactions in…
Distinguishing charged lepton flavor violation scenarios with inelastic conversion
W. C. Haxton, Evan Rule
The Mu2e and COMET experiments are expected to improve existing limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by roughly four orders of magnitude. conversion ex…
Exact block encoding of imaginary time evolution with universal quantum neural networks
Ermal Rrapaj, Evan Rule
We develop a constructive approach to generate quantum neural networks capable of representing the exact thermal states of all many-body qubit Hamiltonians. The Trotter expansion o…
The Gallium Neutrino Absorption Cross Section and its Uncertainty
S. R. Elliott, V. N. Gavrin, W. C. Haxton +2
In the recent Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST), a suppressed rate of neutrino absorption on a gallium target was observed, consistent with earlier results from neutr…
