Boundary Treatment for Variational Quantum Simulations of Partial Differential Equations on Quantum Computers

Paul Over, Sergio Bengoechea, Thomas Rung, Francesco Clerici, Leonardo Scandurra, Eugene de Villiers, Dieter Jaksch. The paper presents a variational quantum algorithm to solve initial-boundary value problems described by second-order partial differential equations. The approach uses hybrid classical/quantum hardware that is well suited for quantum computers of the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum era. The partial differential equation is initially translated into an optimal control problem with…

Shallow quantum circuits for efficient preparation of Slater determinants and correlated states on a quantum computer

Chong Hian Chee, Daniel Leykam, Adrian M. Mak, and Dimitris G. Angelakis. Fermionic Ansatz state preparation is a critical subroutine in many quantum algorithms such as the variational quantum eigensolver for quantum chemistry and condensed-matter applications. The shallowest circuit depth needed to prepare Slater determinants and correlated states to date scales at least linearly with respect to the system size \(N\). Inspired by…
