Quantum enhanced Markov chains require fine-tuned quenches
Alev Orfi, Dries Sels
Quantum-enhanced Markov chain Monte Carlo, an algorithm in which configurations are proposed through a measured quantum quench and accepted or rejected by a classical algorithm, ha…
Bounding speedup of quantum-enhanced Markov chain Monte Carlo
Alev Orfi, Dries Sels
Sampling tasks are a natural class of problems for quantum computers due to the probabilistic nature of the Born rule. Sampling from useful distributions on noisy quantum hardware…
Confinement in the Transverse Field Ising model on the Heavy Hex lattice
Joseph Tindall, Dries Sels
We study the emergence of confinement in the transverse field Ising model on a decorated hexagonal lattice. Using an infinite tensor network state optimised with belief propagation…
Asymptotic behavior of continuous weak measurement and its application to real-time parameter estimation
Chungwei Lin, Yanting Ma, Dries Sels
The asymptotic quantum trajectory of weak continuous measurement for the magnetometer is investigated. The magnetometer refers to a setup where the field-to-estimate and the measur…
The thermodynamics of time
Dries Sels, Michiel Wouters
The problem of time is a deep paradox in our physical description of the world. According to Aristotle's relational theory, time is a measure of change and does not exist on its ow…
Quantum equivalence, the second law and emergent gravity
Dries Sels, Michiel Wouters
Since the advent of quantum mechanics we have mainly been concerned with its predictions from the perspective of an external observer. This is in strong contrast to the theory of g…
