Warm-Start Quantum Computation for Energy Readout and State Preparation

Tien D. Kieu

Estimating a ground-state energy and preparing a ground state both split into a front-end that supplies an approximate state and a back-end that reads or refines it. We…

Efficient Quantum Oracle for Solving Bilinear Diophantine Equations on Digital Quantum Computers

S. Whitlock, T. D. Kieu

We present a concrete oracle construction for bilinear Diophantine equations of the form , together with its application as a scalable, hardware-agnosti…

Quantum Central Limit Theorems, Emergence of Classicality and Time-dependent Differential Entropy

Tien D. Kieu

We derive some Quantum Central Limit Theorems for expectation values of macroscopically coarse-grained observables, which are functions of coarse-grained hermitean operators. Thank…

Principle of Unattainability of Absolute Zero Temperature, the Third Law of Thermodynamics, and Projective Quantum Measurements

Tien D. Kieu

The Principle of Unattainability rules out the attainment of absolute zero temperature by any finite physical means, no matter how idealised they could be. Nevertheless, we clarify…

The Travelling Salesman Problem and Adiabatic Quantum Computation: An Algorithm

Tien D. Kieu

An explicit algorithm for the travelling salesman problem is constructed in the framework of adiabatic quantum computation, AQC. The initial Hamiltonian for the AQC process admits…
