Near-term Application Engineering Challenges in Emerging Superconducting Qudit Processors
Davide Venturelli, Erik Gustafson, Doga Kurkcuoglu +1
We review the prospects to build quantum processors based on superconducting transmons and radiofrequency cavities for testing applications in the NISQ era. We identify engineering…
Symbolic Hamiltonian Compiler for Hybrid Qubit-Boson Processors
Ethan Decker, Erik Gustafson, Evan McKinney +7
Quantum simulation of the interactions of fermions and bosons -- the fundamental particles of nature -- is essential for modeling complex quantum systems in material science, chemi…
Kernpiler: Compiler Optimization for Quantum Hamiltonian Simulation with Partial Trotterization
Ethan Decker, Lucas Goetz, Evan McKinney +9
Quantum computing promises transformative impacts in simulating Hamiltonian dynamics, essential for studying physical systems inaccessible by classical computing. However, existing…
Improved Fermion Hamiltonians for Quantum Simulation
Erik Gustafson, Ruth Van de Water
We developed a Hamiltonian inspired by ASQTAD and highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) actions and show how these Hamiltonians can be used for quantum simulations. Gate costs for…
Quantum Simulation of an Open System: A Dissipative 1+1D Ising Model
Erik Gustafson, Michael Hite, Jay Hubisz +2
The 1+1D Ising model is an ideal benchmark for quantum algorithms, as it is very well understood theoretically. This is true even when expanding the model to include complex coupli…
