Quantum simulation of chemistry and materials is predicted to be an important application for both near-term fault-tolerant quantum devices. However, at present, developing studying algorithms these problems can difficult due the prohibitive amount domain knowledge required in area algorithms. To help bridge this gap open field more researchers, we have developed OpenFermion software package (www.openfermion.org). open-source library written largely Python under Apache 2.0 license, aimed...
Superconducting qubits provide a promising path toward building large-scale quantum computers. The simple and robust transmon qubit has been the leading platform, achieving multiple milestones. However, fault-tolerant computing calls for operations at error rates significantly lower than those exhibited in state of art. Consequently, alternative superconducting with better protection have attracted increasing interest. Among them, fluxonium is particularly candidate, featuring large...

It is believed that random quantum circuits are difficult to simulate classically.

A quantum instruction set is where hardware and software meet. We develop characterization compilation techniques for non-Clifford gates to accurately evaluate its designs. Applying these our fluxonium processor, we show that replacing the iSWAP gate by square root SQiSW leads a significant performance boost at almost no cost. More precisely, on measure fidelity of up 99.72% averaging 99.31%, realize Haar random two-qubit with an average 96.38%. This error reduction 41% former 50% latter...
Abstract We develop an algorithmic framework for contracting tensor networks and demonstrate its power by classically simulating quantum computation of sizes previously deemed out reach. Our main contribution, index slicing, is a method that efficiently parallelizes the contraction breaking it down into much smaller identically structured subtasks, which can then be executed in parallel without dependencies. benchmark our algorithm on class random circuits, achieving greater than 10 5 times...
We describe an algorithm for finding angle sequences in quantum signal processing, with a novel component we call halving based on new algebraic uniqueness theorem, and another capitalization. present both theoretical experimental results that demonstrate the performance of algorithm. In particular, these two algorithmic ideas allow us to find more than 3000 angles within 5 minutes important applications such as Hamiltonian simulation, all standard double precision arithmetic. This is native...
The design and architecture of a quantum instruction set are paramount to the performance computer. This work introduces gate scheme for qubits with XX + YY coupling that directly efficiently realizes any two-qubit up single-qubit gates. First, this enables high-fidelity execution operations, especially when decoherence is primary error source. Second, since spans entire SU(4) group gates, we can use it attain optimal count algorithm implementation. These two advantages in synergy give rise...

Randomized benchmarking (RB) is the gold standard for experimentally evaluating quality of quantum operations. The current framework RB centered on groups and their representations, but this can be problematic. For example, Clifford circuits need up to $O(n^2)$ gates, thus cannot scale larger devices. Attempts remedy include new schemes such as linear cross-entropy (XEB), cycle benchmarking, non-uniform RB, they do not fall within group-based framework. In work, we formulate \emph{universal...

Applying phase shifts to qubit drives is known give essentially perfect $Z$ rotations, but the current scheme only compatible with a very special class of two-qubit gates. This puts unnecessary restrictions on quantum instruction set. A proposed arbitrary gates and also uniquely optimal in number pulses needed.
