Dual thermodynamic ensembles, relative entropies, and excess free energy
Gavin E. Crooks
It has long been known that the relative entropy of a non-equilibrium ensemble to the corresponding equilibrium ensemble is the excess free energy. We show that the reverse relativ…
Thermodynamic Linear Algebra
Maxwell Aifer, Kaelan Donatella, Max Hunter Gordon +5
Linear algebraic primitives are at the core of many modern algorithms in engineering, science, and machine learning. Hence, accelerating these primitives with novel computing hardw…
Measuring Analytic Gradients of General Quantum Evolution with the Stochastic Parameter Shift Rule
Leonardo Banchi, Gavin E. Crooks
Hybrid quantum-classical optimization algorithms represent one of the most promising application for near-term quantum computers. In these algorithms the goal is to optimize an obs…
Thermodynamic Computing
Tom Conte, Erik DeBenedictis, Natesh Ganesh +36
The hardware and software foundations laid in the first half of the 20th Century enabled the computing technologies that have transformed the world, but these foundations are now u…
Gradients of parameterized quantum gates using the parameter-shift rule and gate decomposition
Gavin E. Crooks
The parameter-shift rule is an approach to measuring gradients of quantum circuits with respect to their parameters, which does not require ancilla qubits or controlled operations.…
Fixed-Depth Two-Qubit Circuits and the Monodromy Polytope
Eric C. Peterson, Gavin E. Crooks, Robert S. Smith
For a native gate set which includes all single-qubit gates, we apply results from symplectic geometry to analyze the spaces of two-qubit programs accessible within a fixed number…
