Challenges in Barren Plateau Mitigation with Dynamic Parameterized Quantum Circuits

Sumeet Shirgure, Efekan Kökcü, Siyuan Niu

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are a promising paradigm for quantum advantage, yet their trainability is severely hampered by barren plateaus (BPs). Several recent works hav…

Mapping the metal-insulator phase diagram by algebraically fast-forwarding dynamics on a cloud quantum computer

Thomas Steckmann, Trevor Keen, Efekan Kökcü +3

Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) maps the local Green's function of the Hubbard model to that of the Anderson impurity model and thus gives an approximate solution of the Hubbard…
