Efficient Compilation for Shuttling Trapped-Ion Machines via the Position Graph Architectural Abstraction
Bao Bach, Ilya Safro, Ed Younis
With the growth of quantum platforms for gate-based quantum computation, compilation holds a crucial role in deciding the success of the implementation. While there has been rich r…
Constrained Counterdiabatic Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm for Portfolio Optimization
Jose Falla, Ilya Safro
We introduce a counterdiabatic (CD) extension of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for constrained portfolio optimization. By incorporating approximate adiabati…
Reductions of QAOA Induced by Classical Symmetries: Theoretical Insights and Practical Implications
Boris Tsvelikhovskiy, Bao Bach, Jose Falla +1
The performance of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is closely tied to the structure of the dynamical Lie algebra (DLA) generated by its Hamiltonians, which de…
Optimal fermion-qubit mappings via quadratic assignment
Mitchell Chiew, Cameron Ibrahim, Ilya Safro +1
Simulation of fermionic systems is one of the most promising applications of quantum computers. It spans problems in quantum chemistry, high-energy physics and condensed matter. Un…
Neural Architecture Search Algorithms for Quantum Autoencoders
Ankit Kulshrestha, Xiaoyuan Liu, Hayato Ushijima-Mwesigwa +1
The design of quantum circuits is currently driven by the specific objectives of the quantum algorithm in question. This approach thus relies on a significant manual effort by the…
Biomedical Hypothesis Explainability with Graph-Based Context Retrieval
Ilya Tyagin, Saeideh Valipour, Aliaksandra Sikirzhytskaya +2
We introduce an explainability method for biomedical hypothesis generation systems, built on top of the novel Hypothesis Generation Context Retriever framework. Our approach combin…
