Pulse-optimised circuit elements for scalable and noise-resilient quantum chemistry

Henrik Gothen, Christopher K. Long, Djamila Hiller +4

Useful chemistry calculations on near-term quantum processors are hindered by current algorithmic runtimes. We develop a methodology to significantly reduce these runtimes. Typical…

Hardware-Tailored Resource Estimation for Magic-State Distillation on Silicon Spin Qubits

Songqinghao Yang, Christopher K. Long, Rubén M. Otxoa +3

We present a resource analysis for generating high-fidelity logical magic states on silicon spin-qubit platforms. We consider a range of architectures, including a shuttling-based…

From virtual Z gates to virtual Z pulses

Christopher K. Long, Crispin H. W. Barnes

Virtual gates have become integral for implementing fast, high-fidelity single-qubit operations. However, virtual gates require that the system's two-qubit gates are microw…

Kirkwood-Dirac Nonpositivity is a Necessary Resource for Quantum Computing

Jonathan J. Thio, Songqinghao Yang, Stephan De Bièvre +2

Classical computers can simulate models of quantum computation with restricted input states. The identification of such states can sharpen the boundary between quantum and classica…

Risk-minimizing states for the quantum-phase-estimation algorithm

Joseph G. Smith, Crispin H. W. Barnes, David R. M. Arvidsson-Shukur

The quantum-phase-estimation algorithm (QPEA) is widely used to find estimates of unknown phases. The original algorithm relied on an input state in a uniform superposition of all…
