Quantum Elastic Network Models and their Application to Graphene
Ioannis Kolotouros, Adithya Sireesh, Stuart Ferguson +3
Molecular dynamics simulations are a central computational methodology in materials design for relating atomic composition to mechanical properties. However, simulating materials w…
Methods for non-variational heuristic quantum optimisation
Stuart Ferguson, Petros Wallden
Optimisation plays a central role in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications, and quantum computing has been widely proposed as a means to achieve computational adva…
Dynamics of discrete spacetimes with Quantum-enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Stuart Ferguson, Arad Nasiri, Petros Wallden
Quantum algorithms offer the potential for significant computational advantages; however, in many cases, it remains unclear how these advantages can be practically realized. Causal…
Quantum-enhanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo for systems larger than your Quantum Computer
Stuart Ferguson, Petros Wallden
Quantum computers theoretically promise computational advantage in many tasks, but it is much less clear how such advantage can be maintained when using existing and near-term hard…
