Dynamics of Majorana Fermions on a Quantum Computer
Yuxiao Hang, Rosa Di Felice, Aiichiro Nakano +1
The study of quasiparticle dynamics is central to understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Direct simulation of such dynamics on quantum hardware has b…
Dynamics of Symmetry-Protected Topological Matter on a Quantum Computer
Miguel Mercado, Kyle Chen, Parth Darekar +3
Control of topological edge modes is desirable for encoding quantum information resiliently against external noise. Their implementation on quantum hardware, however, remains a lon…
Vacancies in graphene: an application of adiabatic quantum optimization
Virginia Carnevali, Ilaria Siloi, Rosa Di Felice +1
Quantum annealers have grown in complexity to the point that quantum computations involving few thousands of qubits are now possible. In this paper, \textcolor{black}{with the inte…
Investigating the Chinese Postman Problem on a Quantum Annealer
Ilaria Siloi, Virginia Carnevali, Bibek Pokharel +2
The recent availability of quantum annealers has fueled a new area of information technology where such devices are applied to address practically motivated and computationally dif…
Quantum annealing versus classical machine learning applied to a simplified computational biology problem
Richard Y. Li, Rosa Di Felice, Remo Rohs +1
Transcription factors regulate gene expression, but how these proteins recognize and specifically bind to their DNA targets is still debated. Machine learning models are effective…
A TDDFT study of the excited states of DNA bases and their assemblies
D. Varsano, R. Di Felice, M. A. L. Marques +1
We present a detailed study of the optical absorption spectra of DNA bases and base pairs, carried out by means of time dependent density functional theory. The spectra for the iso…
