Gaussian-augmented bosonic matrix-product states: theory and applications

Erickson Tjoa, J. Ignacio Cirac

We propose and analyze the structure of a family of bosonic quantum many-body states that have the following features: (i) they include all pure Gaussian states and finite-dimensio…

Multi-agent Autoformalization of Tensor Network Theory

Sirui Lu, Erickson Tjoa, J. Ignacio Cirac

We build a team of specialized large language-model agents and present an agent-driven workflow for research-level formalization in theoretical physics, with the autoformalization…

How thermal is a filtered state?

Yilun Yang, J. Ignacio Cirac, Mari Carmen Bañuls

Quantum many-body states with sufficiently low energy variance can serve as approximations to thermal states, and they may be prepared by energy filtering simple pure states. In th…

A Quantum Algorithm with Polylogarithmic Depth per Trotter Step for the Extended Hubbard Model

Yu Wang, Martina Nibbi, Maxine Luo +4

The extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional lattice captures key physical phenomena, but its simulation remains challenging because long-range interactions give rise to a large…

Quantum computer architecture with ions in tweezer arrays

Benjamin F. Schiffer, Christopher Monroe, Peter Zoller +1

We propose a quantum computer architecture based on ions confined in optical tweezer arrays, combining the long coherence times of trapped-ion qubits with the reconfigurability and…

Benchmark of quantum algorithms for ground state preparation in the presence of noise

Daniel Molpeceres, Sirui Lu, J. Ignacio Cirac +1

We compare the performance of representative cooling, adiabatic, and optimization algorithms for ground-state preparation in the presence of noise. Using an exactly solvable family…
