We develop a hardware-efficient ansatz for variational optimization, derived from existing ansatzes in the literature, that parametrizes subsets of all interactions cost Hamiltonian each layer. treat gate orderings as parameter and observe doing so can provide significant performance boosts experiments. carried out experimental demonstration runs compilation-optimized implementation fully connected Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Hamiltonians on 50-qubit linear-chain subsystem Rigetti's Aspen-M-3...
Quantum computers provide new avenues to access ground and excited state properties of systems otherwise difficult simulate on classical hardware. New approaches using subspaces generated by real-time evolution have shown efficiency in extracting eigenstate information, but the full capabilities such are still not understood. In recent work, we developed variational quantum phase estimation (VQPE) method, a compact efficient algorithm extract eigenvalues Here build that work theoretically...
The quantum alternating operator ansatz (QAOA) is a generalized approach for solving challenging optimization problems that builds on the structure of approximate algorithm. Finding high-quality parameters efficiently QAOA remains major challenge in practice. In this work, we introduce classical strategy parameter setting, suitable cases which number distinct cost values grows only polynomially with problem size, such as common constraint-satisfaction problems. crux our replace function...
In order to assess whether quantum resources can provide an advantage over classical computation, it is necessary characterize and benchmark the nonclassical properties of algorithms in a practical manner. this paper, we show that using measurements no more than three out possible ${3}^{N}$ bases, one not only reconstruct single-qubit reduced density matrices measure ability create coherent superpositions, but also possibly verify entanglement across all $N$ qubits participating algorithm....

The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a method of choice to solve the electronic structure problem for molecules on near-term gate-based quantum computers. However, circuit depth expected grow significantly with size. Increased can both degrade accuracy results and reduce trainability. In this work, we propose novel approach ansatz depth. Our approach, called PermVQE, adds an additional optimization loop VQE that permutes qubits in order qubit Hamiltonian minimizes long-range...
Forward Error Correction (FEC) provides reliable data flow in wireless networks despite the presence of noise and interference. However, its processing demands significant fraction a network's resources, due to computationally-expensive decoding process. This forces network designers compromise between performance implementation complexity. In this paper, we investigate novel architecture for FEC decoding, one based on quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), evaluate potential...

Unitary t-designs are distributions on the unitary group whose first t moments appear maximally random. Previous work has established several upper bounds depths at which certain specific random quantum circuit ensembles approximate t-designs.
