Quantum annealing eigensolver as a NISQ era tool for probing strong correlation effects in quantum chemistry
Aashna Anil Zade, Kenji Sugisaki, Matthias Werner +6
The quantum-classical hybrid variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm is arguably the most popular noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era approach to quantum chemistry.…
Probing dielectric breakdown in Mott insulators through current oscillations
Joan Triadú-GalÃ, Artur Garcia-Saez, Bruno Juliá-DÃaz +1
We investigate the dielectric breakdown of mesoscopic Mott insulators, a phenomenon where a strong electric field destabilizes the insulating state, resulting in a transition to a…
Reinforcement Learning Based Quantum Circuit Optimization via ZX-Calculus
Jordi Riu, Jan Nogué, Gerard Vilaplana +2
We propose a novel Reinforcement Learning (RL) method for optimizing quantum circuits using graph-theoretic simplification rules of ZX-diagrams. The agent, trained using the Proxim…
A Quantum Annealing Protocol to Solve the Nuclear Shell Model
Emanuele Costa, Axel Perez-Obiol, Javier Menendez +3
The nuclear shell model accurately describes the structure and dynamics of atomic nuclei. However, the exponential scaling of the basis size with the number of degrees of freedom h…
A scalable 2-local architecture for quantum annealing of Ising models with arbitrary dimensions
Ana Palacios, Artur Garcia-Saez, Bruno Julia-Diaz +1
Achieving densely connected hardware graphs is a challenge for most quantum computing platforms today, and a particularly crucial one for the case of quantum annealing applications…
