Towards Tensor-Network SAT-Solvers for Quantum-Classical Workflows

Benjamin Zec, Lukas Schmidbauer, Maja Franz +1

Integrated HPC/QC systems aim to combine classical high-performance computing with quantum processors, but cannot be reduced to mechanisms for dispatching quantum kernels. An integ…

Benchmarking Error Mitigation: Artefactual Improvements in Zero-Noise Extrapolation

Dominik Köster, Wolfgang Mauerer

Reliable benchmarking of Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) requires distinguishing genuine improvements from artefacts of the post-processing arithmetic. In this paper, we expose a fa…

Going off Pattern? QAOA Parameter Heuristics and Potentials of Parsimony

Vincent Eichenseher, Maja Franz, Christian Wolff +1

Structured variational quantum algorithms such as the Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm (QAOA) have emerged as leading candidates for exploiting advantages of near-term qu…

Out of Tune: Demystifying Noise-Effects on Quantum Fourier Models

Maja Franz, Melvin Strobl, Leonid Chaichenets +3

Variational quantum algorithms have received substantial theoretical and empirical attention. As the underlying variational quantum circuit (VQC) can be represented by Fourier seri…
