Characterizing Quantum Supremacy in Near-Term Devices
Sergio Boixo, Sergei V. Isakov, Vadim N. Smelyanskiy +6
A critical question for the field of quantum computing in the near future is whether quantum devices without error correction can perform a well-defined computational task beyond t…
Scaling analysis and instantons for thermally-assisted tunneling and Quantum Monte Carlo simulations
Zhang Jiang, Vadim N. Smelyanskiy, Sergei V. Isakov +4
We develop an instantonic calculus to derive an analytical expression for the thermally-assisted tunneling decay rate of a metastable state in a fully connected quantum spin model.…
What is the Computational Value of Finite Range Tunneling?
Vasil S. Denchev, Sergio Boixo, Sergei V. Isakov +5
Quantum annealing (QA) has been proposed as a quantum enhanced optimization heuristic exploiting tunneling. Here, we demonstrate how finite range tunneling can provide considerable…
