2025 EIC-France Workshop: Physics Highlights and Perspectives
F. Arleo, V. Bertone, J. Bettane +75
This document presents a synthesis of the theory contributions and discussions from the 2nd EIC-France Workshop, held at IJCLab (Orsay) on 1-3 December 2025. The workshop brought t…
Vacuum tunneling of vortices in two-dimensional He superfluid films
Michael J. Desrochers, Dominic Marchand, P. C. E. Stamp
At low temperature T we expect vacuum tunneling processes to occur in superfluid He films. We distinguish between extrinsic processes, in which single vortices nucleate by t…
A Variable Neighbourhood Descent Heuristic for Conformational Search Using a Quantum Annealer
D. J. J. Marchand, M. Noori, A. Roberts +6
Discovering the low-energy conformations of a molecule is of great interest to computational chemists, with applications in {\em in silico} materials design and drug discovery. In…
The polaron paradigm: a dual coupling effective band model
Dominic J. J. Marchand, Philip C. E. Stamp, Mona Berciu
Non-diagonal couplings to a bosonic bath completely change polaronic dynamics, from the usual diagonally-coupled paradigm of smoothly-varying properties. We study, using analytic a…
Systematic and Deterministic Graph-Minor Embedding for Cartesian Products of Graphs
Arman Zaribafiyan, Dominic J. J. Marchand, Seyed Saeed Changiz Rezaei
The limited connectivity of current and next-generation quantum annealers motivates the need for efficient graph-minor embedding methods. These methods allow non-native problems to…
Quantum Annealing Implementation of Job-Shop Scheduling
Davide Venturelli, Dominic J. J. Marchand, Galo Rojo
A quantum annealing solver for the renowned job-shop scheduling problem (JSP) is presented in detail. After formulating the problem as a time-indexed quadratic unconstrained binary…
