Sparse-QITE: Discovering Compact Generators for Quantum Imaginary-Time Evolution via Regularization Methods

Rafael Gómez-Lurbe, Luca Ion, Alberto Acevedo +1

Quantum imaginary-time evolution (QITE) provides a systematic route to ground-state preparation, but its cost grows rapidly with the locality of the unitary approximation, for…

Emergence of a Macroscopic Cat State and Multi-Channel Entanglement in a Frustrated Cluster Spin Chain

Mohit Lal Bera, Andreu Anglés-Castillo, Alberto Acevedo Meléndez +8

We study a one-dimensional frustrated spin chain, which combines cluster-Ising and anisotropic next-nearest neighbor Ising models. We first offer a historical perspective that just…

Variational quantum eigensolver for chemical molecules

Luca Ion, Adam Smith

Solving interacting multi-particle systems is a central challenge in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics. In this work, we investigate the computation of ground states a…

Understanding Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution and its Variational form

Andreu Anglés-Castillo, Luca Ion, Tanmoy Pandit +3

Many computationally hard problems can be encoded in quantum Hamiltonians. The solution to these problems is given by the ground states of these Hamiltonians. A state-of-the-art al…

Adaptive time Compressed QITE (ACQ) and its geometrical interpretation

Alberto Acevedo Meléndez, Carmen G. Almudéver, Miguel Angel Garcia-March +8

Imaginary time evolution (ITE) is a well-established method for ground-state preparation, a fundamental problem in many fields such as materials science, chemistry, and optimizatio…
