Universal qudit gate synthesis for transmons
Laurin E. Fischer, Alessandro Chiesa, Francesco Tacchino +3
Gate-based quantum computers typically encode and process information in two-dimensional units called qubits. Using -dimensional qudits instead may offer intrinsic advantages, i…
On Hitting Times for General Quantum Markov Processes
Lorenzo Laneve, Francesco Tacchino, Ivano Tavernelli
Random walks (or Markov chains) are models extensively used in theoretical computer science. Several tools, including analysis of quantities such as hitting and mixing times, are h…
Shor-Laflamme distributions of graph states and noise robustness of entanglement
Daniel Miller, Daniel Loss, Ivano Tavernelli +3
The Shor-Laflamme distribution (SLD) of a quantum state is a collection of local unitary invariants that quantify -body correlations. We show that the SLD of graph states can be…
Phenomenological Theory of Variational Quantum Ground-State Preparation
Nikita Astrakhantsev, Guglielmo Mazzola, Ivano Tavernelli +1
The variational approach is a cornerstone of computational physics, considering both conventional and quantum computing computational platforms. The variational quantum eigensolver…
Quantum Machine Learning Framework for Virtual Screening in Drug Discovery: a Prospective Quantum Advantage
Stefano Mensa, Emre Sahin, Francesco Tacchino +2
Machine Learning (ML) for Ligand Based Virtual Screening (LB-VS) is an important in-silico tool for discovering new drugs in a faster and cost-effective manner, especially for emer…
Effective calculation of the Green's function in the time domain on near-term quantum processors
Francesco Libbi, Jacopo Rizzo, Francesco Tacchino +2
We propose an improved quantum algorithm to calculate the Green's function through real-time propagation, and use it to compute the retarded Green's function for the 2-, 3- and 4-s…
