Improved parameter initialization for the (local) unitary cluster Jastrow ansatz

Wan-Hsuan Lin, Fangchun Liang, Mario Motta +3

The unitary cluster Jastrow (UCJ) ansatz and its variant known as local UCJ (LUCJ) are promising choices for variational quantum algorithms for chemistry due to their combination o…

Improving GANs by leveraging the quantum noise from real hardware

Hongni Jin, Kenneth M. Merz

We propose a novel approach to generative adversarial networks (GANs) in which the standard i.i.d. Gaussian latent prior is replaced or hybridized with a quantum-correlated prior d…
