Promise of Graph Sparsification and Decomposition for Noise Reduction in QAOA: Analysis for Trapped-Ion Compilations

Jai Moondra, Phillip C. Lotshaw, Greg Mohler +1

We develop new approximate compilation schemes that significantly reduce the expense of compiling the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for solving the Max-Cut prob…

Warm-Started QAOA with Custom Mixers Provably Converges and Computationally Beats Goemans-Williamson's Max-Cut at Low Circuit Depths

Reuben Tate, Jai Moondra, Bryan Gard +2

We generalize the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) of Farhi et al. (2014) to allow for arbitrary separable initial states with corresponding mixers such that the s…

Bridging Classical and Quantum with SDP initialized warm-starts for QAOA

Reuben Tate, Majid Farhadi, Creston Herold +2

We study the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) in the context of the Max-Cut problem. Near-term (noisy) quantum devices are only able to (accurately) execute QAOA a…

Comparison of ancilla preparation and measurement procedures for the Steane [[7,1,3]] code on a model ion trap quantum computer

Yu Tomita, Mauricio Gutiérrez, Chingiz Kabytayev +5

We schedule the Steane [[7,1,3]] error correction on a model ion trap architecture with ballistic transport. We compare the level one error rates for syndrome extraction using the…

Tilt Modulus and Angle-Dependent Flux Lattice Melting in the Lowest Landau Level Approximation

G. Mohler, D. Stroud

For a clean high-T superconductor, we analyze the Lawrence-Doniach free energy in a tilted magnetic field within the lowest Landau level (LLL) approximation. The free energy ma…

Study of Vortex Avalanches using the Bassler-Paczuski Model

G. Mohler, D. Stroud

We have carried out a model calculation of the flux noise produced by vortex avalanches in a Type-II superconductor, using a simple kinetic model proposed by Bassler and Paczuski.…
