Recent nuclear magnetic resonance studies [A. Pustogow et al., Nature 574, 72 (2019)] have challenged the prevalent chiral triplet pairing scenario proposed for Sr_{2}RuO_{4}. To provide guidance from microscopic theory as to which other pair states might be compatible with new data, we perform a detailed theoretical study of spin fluctuation mediated this compound. We map out phase diagram function spin-orbit coupling, interaction parameters, and band structure properties over physically...
Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) has considerably advanced over the past decade. At same time, state-of-the-art RL algorithms require a large computational budget in terms of training time to converge. Recent work started approach this problem through lens quantum computing, which promises theoretical speed-ups for several traditionally hard tasks. In work, we examine class hybrid quantum-classical that collectively refer as variational deep Q-networks (VQ-DQN). We show VQ-DQN approaches are...
Circuit cutting, the partitioning of quantum circuits into smaller independent fragments, has become a promising avenue for scaling up current quantum-computing experiments. Here, we introduce scheme joint cutting two-qubit rotation gates based on virtual gate-teleportation protocol. With that, significantly lower previous upper bounds sampling overhead and prove optimality scheme. Furthermore, show that no classical communication between circuit partitions is required. For parallel derive...

Understanding magnetic interactions in the parent compounds of high-temperature superconductors forms basis for determining their role mechanism superconductivity. For iron pnictide such as $A$Fe$_2$As$_2$ ($A=$ Ba, Ca, Sr), although spin excitations have been mapped out throughout entire Brillouin zone (BZ), measurements were carried on twinned samples and did not allow a conclusive determination dynamics. Here we use inelastic neutron scattering to completely map $\sim$100\% detwinned...
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have attracted a lot of attention from the computing community for last few years. Their hybrid quantum-classical nature with relatively shallow circuits makes them promising platform demonstrating capabilities noisy intermediate scale (NISQ) devices. Although classical machine learning focuses on gradient-based parameter optimization, finding near-exact gradients variational (VQCs) parameter-shift rule introduces large sampling overhead. Therefore,...
