(Non-)Traversable Quantum Phase Transitions
Federico Balducci, Paul M. Schindler, Andrea Solfanelli +1
Quantum phase transitions manifest as an abrupt change in the ground state of a many-body system; yet it is an open question whether this sudden change necessarily precludes a cont…
Protecting Quantum Simulations of Lattice Gauge Theories through Engineered Emergent Hierarchical Symmetries
Zhanpeng Fu, Wei Zheng, Roderich Moessner +2
We present a strategy for the quantum simulation of many-body lattice models with constrained Hilbert spaces. We focus on lattice gauge theories (LGTs), which underlie a wide range…
Reinforcement Learning for Quantum Technology
Marin Bukov, Florian Marquardt
Many challenges arising in Quantum Technology can be successfully addressed using a set of machine learning algorithms collectively known as reinforcement learning (RL), based on a…
Taming quantum systems: A tutorial for using shortcuts-to-adiabaticity, quantum optimal control, and reinforcement learning
Callum W. Duncan, Pablo M. Poggi, Marin Bukov +2
Precise manipulation of quantum effects at the atomic and nanoscale has become an essential task in ongoing scientific and technological endeavours. Quantum control methods are thu…
Topological Phase Transitions in a Constrained Two-Qubit Quantum Control Landscape
Nicolò Beato, Pranay Patil, Marin Bukov
In optimal quantum control, control landscape phase transitions (CLPTs) indicate sharp changes occurring in the set of optimal protocols, as a physical model parameter is varied. H…
Toward a Theory of Phase Transitions in Quantum Control Landscapes
Nicolò Beato, Pranay Patil, Marin Bukov
Control landscape phase transitions (CLPTs) occur as abrupt changes in the cost function landscape upon varying a control parameter, and can be revealed by non-analytic points in s…
