Constrained free energy minimization for the design of thermal states and stabilizer thermodynamic systems
Michele Minervini, Madison Chin, Jacob Kupperman +6
A quantum thermodynamic system is described by a Hamiltonian and a list of conserved, non-commuting charges, and a fundamental goal is to determine the minimum energy of the system…
Quantum thermodynamics and semi-definite optimization
Nana Liu, Michele Minervini, Dhrumil Patel +1
In quantum thermodynamics, a system is described by a Hamiltonian and a list of non-commuting charges representing conserved quantities like particle number or electric charge, and…
Quantum natural gradient with thermal-state initialization
Michele Minervini, Dhrumil Patel, Mark M. Wilde
Parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) are central to variational quantum algorithms (VQAs), yet their performance is hindered by complex loss landscapes that make their trainabilit…
Evolved Quantum Boltzmann Machines
Michele Minervini, Dhrumil Patel, Mark M. Wilde
We introduce evolved quantum Boltzmann machines as a variational ansatz for quantum optimization and learning tasks. Given two parameterized Hamiltonians and , an evol…
