Benchmarking the ORCA PT-2 Boson Sampler using Minimum Dominating Set Problems
Jessica Park, Susan Stepney, Irene D'Amico
We use boson sampling as part of a gradient-free variational algorithm (the Binary Bosonic Solver) to solve a minimum dominating set problem and compare these results to a number o…

Benchmarking ORCA PT-1 Boson Sampler in Simulation
Jessica Park, Susan Stepney, Irene D'Amico
Boson Sampling, a non-universal computing paradigm, has resulted in impressive claims of quantum supremacy. ORCA Computing have developed a time-bin interferometer (TBI) that claim…

Harnessing Nth Root Gates for Energy Storage
Elliot Fox, Marcela Herrera, Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler +1
We explore the use of fractional control-not gates in quantum thermodynamics. The Nth-root gate allows for a paced application of two-qubit operations. We apply it in quantum therm…
