Towards Tensor-Network SAT-Solvers for Quantum-Classical Workflows
Benjamin Zec, Lukas Schmidbauer, Maja Franz +1
Integrated HPC/QC systems aim to combine classical high-performance computing with quantum processors, but cannot be reduced to mechanisms for dispatching quantum kernels. An integ…
Benchmarking Error Mitigation: Artefactual Improvements in Zero-Noise Extrapolation
Dominik Köster, Wolfgang Mauerer
Reliable benchmarking of Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) requires distinguishing genuine improvements from artefacts of the post-processing arithmetic. In this paper, we expose a fa…
Works on My QPU: Reproducibility in Quantum Computing Research
Dominik Köster, Maja Franz, Benjamin Zec +3
Quantum computing research increasingly depends on complex software stacks, yet the reproducibility of published results does not receive the priority and longevity mandated by rec…
Software Between Quantum and Machine Learning -- And Down to Pulses
Maja Franz, Melvin Strobl, Jonathan Hunz +5
Contemporary quantum computing platforms remain, in essence, programmable physical systems whose control is typically mediated through unitary gate abstractions. While such abstrac…
Claim against Measurement: Statistical Artefacts in Quantum Error Mitigation Benchmarks
Dominik Köster, Wolfgang Mauerer
QEM is widely regarded as a plausible bridge from NISQ devices to FTQC. Yet the empirical studies used to assess the effectiveness of QEM techniques on concrete problems have recei…
From Constraint to Code: DQI-Kit -- A Software Framework for Decoded Quantum Interferometry
Simon Thelen, Wolfgang Mauerer
Trying to solve hard optimisation problems with quantum techniques requires transformations of domain objectives and constraints into formats compatible with a chosen quantum algor…
