Memory-Optimized Cubic Splines for High-Fidelity Quantum Operations

Abstract: Radio frequency pulses are preponderant for the control of quantum bits and the execution of operations in quantum computers. The ability to fine-tune key pulse parameters, such as time-dependent amplitude, phase, and frequency, is essential to achieve maximal gate fidelity and mitigate errors. As systems increase in scale, a larger proportion of the control […]

Q-Gen: A Parameterized Quantum Circuit Generator

Abstract: Unlike most classical algorithms that take an input and give the solution directly as an output, quantum algorithms produce a quantum circuit that works as an indirect solution to computationally hard problems. In the full quantum computing workflow, most data processing remains in the classical domain except for running the quantum circuit in the […]

Analysis of Parameterized Quantum Circuits: On the Connection Between Expressibility and Types of Quantum Gates

Abstract: Expressibility is a crucial factor of a parameterized quantum circuit (PQC). In the context of variational-quantum-algorithm-based quantum machine learning (QML), a QML model composed of a highly expressible PQC and a sufficient number of qubits is theoretically capable of approximating any arbitrary continuous function. While much research has explored the relationship between expressibility and […]

Reducing Quantum Error Correction Overhead With Versatile Flag-Sharing Syndrome Extraction Circuits

Abstract: Given that quantum error correction processes are unreliable, an efficient error syndrome extraction circuit should use fewer ancillary qubits, quantum gates, and measurements while maintaining low circuit depth, to minimize the circuit area, roughly defined as the product of circuit depth and the number of physical qubits. We propose to design parallel flagged syndrome […]

Building large-scale quantum computers, essential to demonstrating quantum advantage, is a key challenge. Quantum networks can help address this challenge by enabling the construction of large, robust, and more capable quantum computing platforms by connecting smaller quantum computers. Moreover, unlike classical systems, quantum networks can enable fully secured long-distance communication. Thus, quantum networks lie at […]

Quantum Circuit Compilation for Trapped-Ion Processors With the Drive-Through Architecture

Abstract: Trapped-ion technologies stand out as leading contenders in the pursuit of quantum computing, due to their capacity for highly entangled qubits. Among many proposed trapped-ion architectures, the “drive-through” architecture has drawn increasing attention, notably for its remarkable ability to minimize heat generation, which is crucial for low-temperature operation and thermal noise reduction, thus reliable […]

Explicit Quantum Circuit for Simulating the Advection–Diffusion–Reaction Dynamics

We assess the convergence of the Carleman linearization of advection–diffusion–reaction (ADR) equations with a logistic nonlinearity. It is shown that five Carleman iterates provide a satisfactory approximation of the original ADR across a broad range of parameters and strength of nonlinearity. To assess the feasibility of a quantum algorithm based on this linearization, we analyze […]

Generating Shuttling Procedures for Constrained Silicon Quantum Dot Array

In silicon quantum computers, a single electron is trapped in a microstructure called a quantum dot, and its spin is used as a qubit. For large-scale integration of qubits, we previously proposed an approach of sharing a control gate in the row or column of a 2-D quantum dot array. In our array, the shuttling […]
