Noncontextual Pauli Hamiltonians
Alexis Ralli, Tim Weaving, Peter J. Love
Contextuality is a key feature of quantum mechanics, and identification of noncontextual subtheories of quantum mechanics is of both fundamental and practical importance. Recently,…
Simulating the Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg Model on a Spin-Frustrated Kagome Lattice with the Contextual Subspace Variational Quantum Eigensolver
Tim Weaving, Alexis Ralli, Vinul Wimalaweera +2
In this work we investigate the ground state properties of a candidate quantum spin liquid using a superconducting Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) device. Specifically, we…
Bridging Quantum Chemistry and MaxCut: Classical Performance Guarantees and Quantum Algorithms for the Hartree-Fock Method
Alexis Ralli, Tim Weaving, Peter V. Coveney +1
In quantum chemistry, self-consistent field (SCF) algorithms define a nonlinear optimization problem, with both continuous and discrete components. In this work, we derive Hartree-…
Extending Quantum Computing through Subspace, Embedding and Classical Molecular Dynamics Techniques
Thomas M. Bickley, Angus Mingare, Tim Weaving +10
The advent of hybrid computing platforms consisting of quantum processing units integrated with conventional high-performance computing brings new opportunities for algorithm desig…
Ladder Operator Block-Encoding
William A. Simon, Carter M. Gustin, Kamil Serafin +3
We describe and analyze LOBE (Ladder Operator Block-Encoding), a framework for block-encoding ladder operators that act upon fermionic and bosonic modes. In this framework, we achi…
Carleman-lattice-Boltzmann quantum circuit with matrix access oracles
Claudio Sanavio, William A. Simon, Alexis Ralli +2
We apply Carleman linearization of the Lattice Boltzmann (CLB) representation of fluid flows to quantum emulate the dynamics of a 2D Kolmogorov-like flow. We assess the accuracy of…
