Simulating chemistry using quantum computers
Ivan Kassal, James D. Whitfield, Alejandro Perdomo-Ortiz +2
The difficulty of simulating quantum systems, well-known to quantum chemists, prompted the idea of quantum computation. One can avoid the steep scaling associated with the exact si…
Simulation of Classical Thermal States on a Quantum Computer: A Transfer Matrix Approach
Man-Hong Yung, Daniel Nagaj, James D. Whitfield +1
We present a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to simulate thermal states of a classical Hamiltonians on a quantum computer. Our scheme employs a sequence of locally controlled ro…
Adiabatic Quantum Simulators
J. D. Biamonte, V. Bergholm, J. D. Whitfield +2
In his famous 1981 talk, Feynman proposed that unlike classical computers, which would presumably experience an exponential slowdown when simulating quantum phenomena, a universal…
Simulation of Electronic Structure Hamiltonians Using Quantum Computers
James D. Whitfield, Jacob Biamonte, Alán Aspuru-Guzik
Over the last century, a large number of physical and mathematical developments paired with rapidly advancing technology have allowed the field of quantum chemistry to advance dram…
