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…
Unraveling the Mechanism of Tip-Enhanced Molecular Energy Transfer
Colin Coane, Marco Romanelli, Giulia Dall'Osto +2
Electronic Energy Transfer (EET) between chromophores is fundamental in many natural light-harvesting complexes, serving as a critical step for solar energy funneling in photosynth…
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…
Hydrogen induced surface metallization of -SiC(100)-() revisited by DFT calculations
R. Di Felice, C. M. Bertoni, C. A. Pignedoli +1
Recent experiments on the silicon terminated SiC(100) surface indicated an unexpected metallic character upon hydrogen adsorption. This effect was attributed to the bon…
G-quartet biomolecular nanowires
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first-principle investigation of quadruple helix nanowires, consisting of stacked planar hydrogen-bonded guanine tetramers. Our results show that long wires form and a…
Ab-initio study of model guanine assemblies: The role of pi-pi coupling and band transport
R. Di Felice, A. Calzolari, E. Molinari +1
Several assemblies of guanine molecules are investigated by means of first-principle calculations. Such structures include stacked and hydrogen-bonded dimers, as well as vertical c…
Self-assembled guanine ribbons as wide-bandgap semiconductors
A. Calzolari, R. Di Felice, E. Molinari +1
We present a first principle study about the stability and the electronic properties of a new biomolecular solid-state material, obtained by the self-assembling of guanine (G) mole…
