Quantum spin-heat engine with trapped ions
André R. R. Carvalho, Liam J. McClelland, Erik W. Streed +1
We propose an ion-trap implementation of the Vaccaro, Barnett and Wright et al. spin-heat engine (SHE); a hypothetical engine that operates between energy and spin thermal reservoi…

Practical protein-pocket hydration-site prediction for drug discovery on a quantum computer
Daniele Loco, Kisa Barkemeyer, Andre R. R. Carvalho +1
Demonstrating the practical utility of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware for recurrent tasks in Computer-Aided Drug Discovery is of paramount importance. We tackle t…

Pulse family optimization for parametrized quantum gates using spectral clustering
Robert de Keijzer, Jurgen Snijders, André Carvalho +1
Parametrized gate circuits are used in plentiful applications in the current NISQ era of quantum computing. These parametrized gates are chiefly implemented using analytically foun…
