Optimizing resource allocation for accuracy in noisy variational quantum algorithms

Harshit Verma, Thomas Ayral, Alexia Auffèves +1

For quantum algorithms to achieve their full potential, we need methodologies to optimize them, such as reaching a given output accuracy with minimal resource costs. Here, we devel…

Potential barriers are nearly-ideal quantum thermoelectrics at finite power output

Chaimae Chrirou, Abderrahim El Allati, Robert S Whitney

Quantum thermodynamics defines the ideal quantum thermoelectric, with maximum possible efficiency at finite power output. However, such an ideal thermoelectric is challenging to im…

Improving photovoltaics by adding extra terminals to extract hot carriers

Bruno Bertin-Johannet, Thibaut Thuégaz, Janine Splettstoesser +1

Photovoltaic cells usually have two terminals, one collecting electrons and the other collecting holes. Can more terminals improve such solar cells? Energy-filtering terminals coul…

Magic states are rarely the best resource to optimize: An analytical tool for qubit resource estimation in concatenated codes

Marco Fellous-Asiani, Hui Khoon Ng, Robert S. Whitney

Concatenated error-correction schemes are well-understood routes to fault-tolerant quantum computing, and research on such schemes continues, including recent claims that they may…

Going beyond Landauer scattering theory to describe spatially-resolved non-local heating and cooling in quantum thermoelectrics

Nico G. Leumer, Denis M. Basko, Rodolfo A. Jalabert +2

Spatially-resolved heating and cooling in nanostructures is nowadays measured with various nanoscale thermometry techniques, including scanning thermometry. Yet the most commonly u…

Thermodynamic performance of hot-carrier solar cells: A quantum transport model

Ludovico Tesser, Robert S. Whitney, Janine Splettstoesser

In conventional solar cells, photogenerated carriers lose part of their energy before they can be extracted to make electricity. The aim of hot-carrier solar cells is to extract th…
