Preparing thermal states of quantum systems by dimension reduction
Ersen Bilgin, Sergio Boixo
We present an algorithm that prepares thermal Gibbs states of one dimensional quantum systems on a quantum computer without any memory overhead, and in a time significantly shorter…
Anyonic entanglement renormalization
Robert Koenig, Ersen Bilgin
We introduce a family of variational ansatz states for chains of anyons which optimally exploits the structure of the anyonic Hilbert space. This ansatz is the natural analog of th…
Coarse grained belief propagation for simulation of interacting quantum systems at all temperatures
Ersen Bilgin, David Poulin
We continue our numerical study of quantum belief propagation initiated in [Phys. Rev. A, 77 (2008), p. 052318]. We demonstrate how the method can be expressed in terms of an effec…
Belief propagation algorithm for computing correlation functions in finite-temperature quantum many-body systems on loopy graphs
David Poulin, Ersen Bilgin
Belief propagation -- a powerful heuristic method to solve inference problems involving a large number of random variables -- was recently generalized to quantum theory. Like its c…
General Issues Connecting Flavor Symmetry and Supersymmetry
Ersen Bilgin, Brian Patt, David Tucker-Smith +1
We motivate and construct supersymmetric theories with continuous flavor symmetry, under which the electroweak Higgs doublets transform non-trivially. Flavor symmetry is spontaneou…
