Towards verifiable quantum advantage with random circuits: Observables that survive concentration

Antonio A. Mele, Francesco A. Mele, Jarrod R. McClean +1

Demonstrating quantum advantage on current quantum hardware is a central goal of quantum computing, and random quantum circuits underpin many leading proposals. Yet sampling-based…

When is randomization advantageous in quantum simulation?

Francesco Paganelli, Michele Grossi, Andrea Giachero +2

We study the regimes in which Hamiltonian simulation benefits from randomization. We introduce a sparse-QSVT construction based on composite stochastic decompositions, where domina…

Accurate ground state energy estimation with noise and imperfect state preparation

Alicja Dutkiewicz, Thomas E. O'Brien, Stefano Polla

We introduce a classical estimator for the post-processing of quantum phase estimation (QPE) data when a single target phase is isolated within a known interval, as is typical of g…

Error mitigation and circuit division for early fault-tolerant quantum phase estimation

Alicja Dutkiewicz, Stefano Polla, Maximilian Scheurer +3

As fully fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of solving useful problems remain a distant goal, we anticipate an era of "early fault tolerance" where limited error correction i…

Superconductivity provides access to the chiral magnetic effect of an unpaired Weyl cone

T. E. O'Brien, C. W. J. Beenakker, I. Adagideli

The massless fermions of a Weyl semimetal come in two species of opposite chirality, in two cones of the band structure. As a consequence, the current induced in one Weyl cone…

Magnetic breakdown and Klein tunneling in a type-II Weyl semimetal

T. E. O'Brien, M. Diez, C. W. J. Beenakker

The band structure of a type-II Weyl semimetal has pairs of electron and hole pockets that coexist over a range of energies and touch at a topologically protected conical point. We…

Many-particle Majorana bound states: derivation and signatures in superconducting double quantum dots

Thomas E. O'Brien, Anthony R. Wright, Menno Veldhorst

We consider two interacting quantum dots coupled by standard superconductors. We derive an effective Hamiltonian, and show that over a wide parameter range a degenerate ground stat…
