Topological Quantum Compilation Using Mixed-Integer Programming

Abstract: Quantum computation offers the potential to solve certain problems with substantial speed advantages over classical computing, but its practical realization is hindered by significant challenges associated with error propagation and decoherence. Topological quantum computing addresses these issues by encoding qubits in particular two-dimensional topological condensed matter systems, effectively described by topological quantum field theories, […]

Variational Quantum Eigensolver: A Comparative Analysis of Classical and Quantum Optimizer Methods

Abstract: In this study, we investigated the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) application for the Ising model as a testbed model, in which we thoroughly delved into several optimizers, both classical and quantum, and analyzed the extent to which each of these methods would offer a benefit. We then investigated a new combinatorial optimization scheme, termed […]

Single Hole Spin Qubit Optimization in SOI Quantum Dots Via kk⋅pp Simulations and Perturbative Analysis

Abstract: Hole spin qubits in silicon nanostructures offer fast, all-electrical control through electric-dipole spin resonance (EDSR), yet their performance strongly depends on device geometry. In this work, optimization criteria of Rabi frequency of single-hole spin qubits in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) quantum dots are identified by combining electrostatic and kk⋅pp simulations with a perturbative model of the […]

Unified and Generalized Approach to Entanglement-Assisted Quantum Error Correction

Abstract: We introduce a framework for entanglement-assisted quantum error correcting codes that unifies the three original frameworks for such codes called entanglement-assisted quantum error correction, entanglement-assisted operator quantum error correction, and entanglement-assisted classical enhanced quantum error correction under a single umbrella. As a consequence, new types of entanglement-assisted codes are identified and constructed. The unification […]

Development of an Undergraduate Quantum Engineering Degree

Quantum computing, communications, sensing, and simulations are radically transformative technologies, with great potential to impact industries and economies. Worldwide, national governments, industries, and universities are moving to create a new class of workforce—the Quantum Engineers. Demand for such engineers is predicted to be in the tens of thousands within a five-year timescale, far exceeding the […]
