Practical advantage beyond the quadratic speedup limit with fully-quantum walks
Massimiliano Incudini, Guglielmo Mazzola
We introduce a new class of fully-quantum Metropolis walks in which both the proposal and acceptance steps are intrinsically quantum. Unlike standard quantum walks obtained by quan…
Accurate and thermodynamically consistent hydrogen equation of state for planetary modeling with flow matching
Hao Xie, Saburo Howard, Guglielmo Mazzola
Accurate determination of the equation of state of dense hydrogen is essential for understanding gas giants. Currently, there is still no consensus on methods for calculating its e…
A Denser Hydrogen Inferred from First-Principles Simulations Challenges Jupiter's Interior Models
Cesare Cozza, Kousuke Nakano, Saburo Howard +3
First-principle modeling of dense hydrogen is crucial in materials and planetary sciences. Despite its apparent simplicity, predicting the ionic and electronic structure of hydroge…
Quantum computing for genomics: conceptual challenges and practical perspectives
Aurora Maurizio, Guglielmo Mazzola
We assess the potential of quantum computing to accelerate computation of central tasks in genomics, focusing on often-neglected theoretical limitations. We discuss state-of-the-ar…
From quantum-enhanced to quantum-inspired Monte Carlo
Johannes Christmann, Petr Ivashkov, Mattia Chiurco +1
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the quantum-enhanced Monte Carlo method [Nature, 619, 282-287 (2023)], aimed at identifying the optimal working point of the algorithm. We ob…
Challenges and Opportunities in Quantum Optimization
Amira Abbas, Andris Ambainis, Brandon Augustino +43
Recent advances in quantum computers are demonstrating the ability to solve problems at a scale beyond brute force classical simulation. As such, a widespread interest in quantum a…
