Rigorous error bounds for dissipative thermal state preparation from weak system-bath coupling

Christopher Ong, S. A. Parameswaran, Benedikt Placke +1

Thermal state preparation is a central challenge in the simulation of quantum many-body systems. Yet, provably efficient algorithms for this task were only introduced recently [Che…

Optimal Decoding with the Worm

Zac Tobias, Nikolas P. Breuckmann, Benedikt Placke

We propose a new decoder for "matchable'' qLDPC codes that uses a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm - called the worm algorithm - to approximately compute the probabilities of log…

Diffusion Codes: Self-Correction from Small(er)-Set Expansion with Tunable Non-locality

Adithya Sriram, Vedika Khemani, Benedikt Placke

Optimal constructions of classical LDPC codes can be obtained by choosing the Tanner graph uniformly at random among biregular graphs. We introduce a class of codes that we call ``…

Towards Efficient Quantum Thermal State Preparation via Local Driving: Lindbladian Simulation with Provable Guarantees

Dominik Hahn, S. A. Parameswaran, Benedikt Placke

Preparing the thermal density matrix corresponding to a given Hamiltonian is a task of central interest across quantum many-body physics, and is particula…

Topological Quantum Spin Glass Order and its realization in qLDPC codes

Benedikt Placke, Tibor Rakovszky, Nikolas P. Breuckmann +1

Ordered phases of matter have close connections to computation. Two prominent examples are spin glass order, with wide-ranging applications in machine learning and optimization, an…

Bottlenecks in quantum channels and finite temperature phases of matter

Tibor Rakovszky, Benedikt Placke, Nikolas P. Breuckmann +1

We prove an analogue of the "bottleneck theorem", well-known for classical Markov chains, for Markovian quantum channels. In particular, we show that if two regions (subspaces) of…
