Recursive Magic State Distillation on the Surface Code
Jonathan E. Moussa
I reduce the cost to prepare magic states with lattice surgery operations on the surface code by using a recursive implementation of 15-to-1 magic state distillation. On a rotated…

The Enduring Relevance of Semiempirical Quantum Mechanics
Jonathan E. Moussa
The development of semiempirical models to simplify quantum mechanical descriptions of atomistic systems is a practice that started soon after the discovery of quantum mechanics an…

Quantum Metropolis-Hastings algorithm
Jonathan E. Moussa
I generalize the well-known classical Metropolis-Hastings algorithm into a quantum algorithm that can equilibrate, measure, and mix a quantum thermal state on a quantum computer. I…
