Quantum spin-heat engine with trapped ions
André R. R. Carvalho, Liam J. McClelland, Erik W. Streed +1
We propose an ion-trap implementation of the Vaccaro, Barnett and Wright et al. spin-heat engine (SHE); a hypothetical engine that operates between energy and spin thermal reservoi…
Practical protein-pocket hydration-site prediction for drug discovery on a quantum computer
Daniele Loco, Kisa Barkemeyer, Andre R. R. Carvalho +1
Demonstrating the practical utility of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware for recurrent tasks in Computer-Aided Drug Discovery is of paramount importance. We tackle t…
Pulse family optimization for parametrized quantum gates using spectral clustering
Robert de Keijzer, Jurgen Snijders, André Carvalho +1
Parametrized gate circuits are used in plentiful applications in the current NISQ era of quantum computing. These parametrized gates are chiefly implemented using analytically foun…
Stability thresholds and calculation techniques for fast entangling gates on trapped ions
C D B Bentley, R L Taylor, A R R Carvalho +1
Fast entangling gates have been proposed for trapped ions that are orders of magnitude faster than current implementations. We present here a detailed analysis of the challenges in…
Trapped ion scaling with pulsed fast gates
C. D. B. Bentley, A. R. R. Carvalho, J. J. Hope
Fast entangling gates for trapped ions offer vastly improved gate operation times relative to implemented gates, as well as approaches to trap scaling. Gates on neighbouring ions o…
Detection-Enhanced Steady State Entanglement with Ions
C. D. B. Bentley, A. R. R. Carvalho, D. Kielpinski +1
Driven dissipative steady state entanglement schemes take advantage of coupling to the environment to robustly prepare highly entangled states. We present a scheme for two trapped…
