Observation of ring states in a delicate topological insulator

Caroline Tornow, Julia Rupprecht, Pascal Engeler +4

Topological insulators are typically characterized by particularly stable properties, such as global invariants, and can be identified by probing their robust surface states. A rec…

Combining quantum processors with real-time classical communication

Almudena Carrera Vazquez, Caroline Tornow, Diego Riste +3

Quantum computers process information with the laws of quantum mechanics. Current quantum hardware is noisy, can only store information for a short time, and is limited to a few qu…

Minimum quantum run-time characterization and calibration via restless measurements with dynamic repetition rates

Caroline Tornow, Naoki Kanazawa, William E. Shanks +1

The performance of a quantum processor depends on the characteristics of the device and the quality of the control pulses. Characterizing cloud-based quantum computers and calibrat…

Scaling of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm on superconducting qubit based hardware

Johannes Weidenfeller, Lucia C. Valor, Julien Gacon +4

Quantum computers may provide good solutions to combinatorial optimization problems by leveraging the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). The QAOA is often presented…

Pulse-efficient circuit transpilation for quantum applications on cross-resonance-based hardware

Nathan Earnest, Caroline Tornow, Daniel J. Egger

We show a pulse-efficient circuit transpilation framework for noisy quantum hardware. This is achieved by scaling cross-resonance pulses and exposing each pulse as a gate to remove…
