Vacuum Decay in Time-Dependent Backgrounds
Patrick Draper, Manthos Karydas, Hao Zhang
We develop semiclassical methods for studying bubble nucleation in models with parameters that vary slowly in time. Introducing a more general rotation of the time contour allows a…
Neutralizing Topological Obstructions to Bubbles of Nothing
Patrick Draper, Benjamin Lillard, Carissa Skye
Theories with compact extra dimensions can exhibit a vacuum instability known as a bubble of nothing. These decay modes can be obstructed if the internal manifold is stabilized by…
Fast Partitioning of Pauli Strings into Commuting Families for Optimal Expectation Value Measurements of Dense Operators
Ben Reggio, Nouman Butt, Andrew Lytle +1
The Pauli strings appearing in the decomposition of an operator can be can be grouped into commuting families, reducing the number of quantum circuits needed to measure the expecta…
