Constrained free energy minimization for the design of thermal states and stabilizer thermodynamic systems
Michele Minervini, Madison Chin, Jacob Kupperman +6
A quantum thermodynamic system is described by a Hamiltonian and a list of conserved, non-commuting charges, and a fundamental goal is to determine the minimum energy of the system…

Dual-VQE: A quantum algorithm to lower bound the ground-state energy
Hanna Westerheim, Jingxuan Chen, Zoë Holmes +6
The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithm that produces an upper-bound estimate of the ground-state energy of a Hamiltonian. As…
