Preservation of Positive-Definiteness by Bernstein Operators on the Circle
Matthew Otten, Nam Nguyen, Thomas Watts
We prove that, for every , the degree- Bernstein operator on preserves positive-definiteness on the circle . Equivalently, if a continuous function on $[0,π]…
Dissipative continuation for ground-state preparation at chemical transition states
Thomas W. Watts, Soumya Sarkar, Daniel Collins +4
Simulating chemical reactions exhibits a pronounced unevenness in computational difficulty: while equilibrium reactant and product geometries are often tractable, transition-state…
QB Ground State Energy Estimation Benchmark
Nicole Bellonzi, Joshua T. Cantin, Mohammad Reza Jangrouei +14
Ground State Energy Estimation (GSEE) is a central problem in quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics, demanding efficient algorithms to solve complex electronic structure c…
Prospects for Quantum Computation in Propellant Design: Assessing the Stability of Cyclic Ozone in Nanoscale Confinement
Thomas W. Watts, Matthew Otten, Jason T. Necaise +14
Cyclic ozone additives have the potential to markedly increase the specific impulse of rocket fuel. This would translate to greater efficiency and reduced costs for space lift by g…
Quantum Resources Required for Binding Affinity Calculations of Amyloid beta
Matthew Otten, Thomas W. Watts, Samuel D. Johnson +7
Amyloid beta, an intrinsically disordered protein, plays a seemingly important but not well-understood role in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease. A key feature of…
Quantum computing for corrosion-resistant materials and anti-corrosive coatings design
Nam Nguyen, Thomas W. Watts, Benjamin Link +14
Corrosion is a pervasive issue that impacts the structural integrity and performance of materials across various industries, imposing a significant economic impact globally. In fie…
Quantum Variational Solving of Nonlinear and Multi-Dimensional Partial Differential Equations
Abhijat Sarma, Thomas W. Watts, Mudassir Moosa +2
A variational quantum algorithm for numerically solving partial differential equations (PDEs) on a quantum computer was proposed by Lubasch et al. In this paper, we generalize the…
