Suppressing unwanted fluctuations in QAOA and approximate quantum annealing
Touheed Anwar Atif, Catherine Potts, David Haycraft +2
The quantum approximate optimisation algorithm (QAOA) was partially inspired by digitising quantum annealing. Based on this inspiration, we develop techniques to use the additional…
Inclusive learning for quantum computing: supporting the aims of quantum literacy using the puzzle game Quantum Odyssey
Laurentiu Nita, Nicholas Chancellor, Laura Mazzoli Smith +2
With a vast domain of applications and now having quantum computing hardware available for commercial use, an education challenge arises in getting people of various background to…
Performance of Domain-Wall Encoding for Quantum Annealing
Jie Chen, Tobias Stollenwerk, Nicholas Chancellor
In this paper we experimentally test the performance of the recently proposed domain-wall encoding of discrete variables from [Chancellor Quantum Sci. Technol. 4 045004] on Ising m…
Fluctuation guided search in quantum annealing
Nicholas Chancellor
Quantum annealing has great promise in leveraging quantum mechanics to solve combinatorial optimisation problems. However, to realize this promise to it's fullest extent we must ap…
An energetic perspective on rapid quenches in quantum annealing
Adam Callison, Max Festenstein, Jie Chen +3
There are well developed theoretical tools to analyse how quantum dynamics can solve computational problems by varying Hamiltonian parameters slowly, near the adiabatic limit. On t…
Toward a standardized methodology for constructing quantum computing use cases
Nicholas Chancellor, Robert Cumming, Tim Thomas
We propose a standardized methodology for developing and evaluating use cases for quantum computers and quantum inspired methods. This methodology consists of a standardized set of…
