Analog-Digital Quantum Computing with Quantum Annealing Processors
Rahul Deshpande, Majid Kheirkhah, Chris Rich +12
Quantum annealing processors typically control qubits in unison, attenuating quantum fluctuations uniformly until the applied system Hamiltonian is diagonal in the computational ba…
Blockchain with proof of quantum work
Mohammad H. Amin, Jack Raymond, Daniel Kinn +7
We propose a blockchain architecture in which mining requires a quantum computer. The consensus mechanism is based on proof of quantum work, a quantum-enhanced alternative to tradi…
Beyond-classical computation in quantum simulation
Andrew D. King, Alberto Nocera, Marek M. Rams +60
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving certain problems that lie beyond the reach of conventional computers. However, establishing this capability, especially for impactful…
Evaluating classical simulations with a quantum processor
Alberto Nocera, Jack Raymond, William Bernoudy +2
As simulations of quantum systems cross the limits of classical computability, both quantum and classical approaches become hard to verify. Scaling predictions are therefore based…
Comment on: "Dynamics of disordered quantum systems with two- and three-dimensional tensor networks" arXiv:2503.05693
Andrew D. King, Alberto Nocera, Marek M. Rams +8
In a recent preprint [1] (arXiv:2503.05693), Tindall et al. presented impressive classical simulations of quantum dynamics using tensor networks. Their methods represent a signific…
