Harmonic sequence state-preparation
Benjamin Rempfer, Parker Kuklinski, Justin Elenewski +1
We demonstrate an efficient circuit to prepare a quantum state with amplitudes proportional to a harmonic sequence. We do this by first preparing a large quantum state with linearl…
Efficient block-encodings require structure
Parker Kuklinski, Benjamin Rempfer, Justin Elenewski +1
Block-encodings are ubiquitous in quantum computing as a way to represent data within a unitary operator. While several unstructured methods are applicable to arbitrary data, these…
A simpler Gaussian state-preparation
Parker Kuklinski, Benjamin Rempfer, Kevin Obenland +1
The ability to efficiently state-prepare Gaussian distributions is critical to the success of numerous quantum algorithms. The most popular algorithm for this subroutine (Kitaev-We…
Quantum computing for corrosion-resistant materials and anti-corrosive coatings design
Nam Nguyen, Thomas W. Watts, Benjamin Link +14
Corrosion is a pervasive issue that impacts the structural integrity and performance of materials across various industries, imposing a significant economic impact globally. In fie…
Quantum Resources for Pure Thermal Shadows
Arnav Sharma, Kevin Obenland
Calculating the properties of Gibbs states is an important task in Quantum Chemistry and Quantum Machine Learning. Previous work has proposed a quantum algorithm which predicts Gib…
Comparison of Superconducting NISQ Architectures
Benjamin Rempfer, Kevin Obenland
Advances in quantum hardware have begun the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computing era. A pressing question is: what architectures are best suited to take advantage of t…
