Implementing the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithms for QUBO problems Across Quantum Hardware Platforms: Performance Analysis, Challenges, and Strategies
Quantum computers are expected to offer significant advantages in solving complex optimization problems that are challenging for classical computers. Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems represent an important class of problems with relevance in finance and logistics. The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a prominent candidate for solving QUBO problems on near-term quantum devices. In this paper, we investigate the performance of both the standard QAOA …

"The scene (“Hidden Figures”, 2016) ends with Mr. Stafford famously claiming “that’s old!” as if the Pythagorean theorem was suddenly not useful anymore after 3500 years… Mr. Stafford’s reaction is canonical and very appropriate; it is the same that most devs have upon learning the fact that COBOL is running most credit card transactions, or when frontend engineers discover that static or server-rendered HTML websites do not need 10 MB of JavaScript on the browser."

Analog computation is an alternative to digital computation, that has recently re-gained prominence, since it includes neural networks. Further important examples are cellular automata and differential analyzers. While analog computers offer many advantages, they lack a notion of universality akin to universal digital computers. Since analog computers are best formalized as dynamical systems, we review scattered results on universal dynamical systems, identifying four senses of universality and…

Finding Photonics Circuits via $δ$-weakening SMT
For quantum computers based on photonics, one main problem is the synthesis of a photonic circuit that emulates quantum computing gates. The problem requires using photonic components to build a circuit that act like a quantum computing gate with some probability of success. This involves not only finding a circuit that can correctly act like a quantum gate, but also optimizing the probability of success. Whilst many approaches have been given in the past and applied to specific gates, they oft…

Evaluating Variational Quantum Circuit Architectures for Distributed Quantum Computing
Scaling quantum computers, i.e., quantum processing units (QPUs) to enable the execution of large quantum circuits is a major challenge, especially for applications that should provide a quantum advantage over classical algorithms. One approach to scale QPUs is to connect multiple machines through quantum and classical channels to form clusters or even quantum networks. Using this paradigm, several smaller QPUs can collectively execute circuits that each would not be able on its own. However, c…

Observation of quantum-field-theory dynamics on a spin-phonon quantum computer
Simulating out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum field theories in nature is challenging with classical methods, but is a promising application for quantum computers. Unfortunately, simulating interacting bosonic fields involves a high boson-to-qubit encoding overhead. Furthermore, when mapping to qubits, the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of bosons is necessarily truncated, with truncation errors that grow with energy and time. A qubit-based quantum computer, augmented with an active boso…

As designers must keep adjusting the motion until it meets the intended requirements, this process is often repetitive and time-consuming. Although the physics behind these motions is usually based on simple equations, manually working through them can be tedious and inefficient. To ease this burden, some tasks are now handled by computers. One common method involves converting han…

As a result, the existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers suffer from different hardware noise effects, which cause errors in the output of quantum programs. These errors cause a high degree of variability in the performance (i.e., output fidelity) of quantum programs, which varies from one computer to another and from one day to another. Consequently,…

A ``trivial'' PoQ is to simply assume an average-case hard problem for classical computers that is easy for quantum computers. However, there is much interest in ``non-trivial'' PoQ that actually rely on quantum hardness assumptions, as these are often a starting point for more sophisticated protocols such as classical verification of quantum co…

Any type of spectroscopy can be efficiently simulated on a quantum computer
Spectroscopy is the most important method for probing the structure of molecules. However, predicting molecular spectra on classical computers is computationally expensive, with the most accurate methods having a cost that grows exponentially with molecule size. Quantum computers have been shown to simulate simple types of optical spectroscopy efficiently -- with a cost polynomial in molecule size -- using methods such as time-dependent simulations of photoinduced wavepackets. Here, we show tha…

Learning and certification of local time-dependent quantum dynamics and noise
Hamiltonian learning protocols are essential tools to benchmark quantum computers and simulators. Yet rigorous methods for time-dependent Hamiltonians and Lindbladians remain scarce despite their wide use. We close this gap by learning the time-dependent evolution of a locally interacting $n$-qubit system on a graph of effective dimension $D$ using only preparation of product Pauli eigenstates, evolution under the time-dependent generator for given times, and measurements in product Pauli bases…

Entangling remote qubits through a two-mode squeezed reservoir
The distribution of entanglement across distant qubits is a central challenge for the operation of scalable quantum computers and large-scale quantum networks. Existing approaches rely on deterministic state transfer schemes or probabilistic protocols that require active control or measurement and postselection. Here we demonstrate an alternative, fully autonomous process, where two remote qubits are entangled through their coupling to a quantum-correlated photonic reservoir. In our experiment,…

Quantum Utility in Simulating the Real-time Dynamics of the Fermi-Hubbard Model using Superconducting Quantum Computers
The Fermi-Hubbard model is a fundamental model in condensed matter physics that describes strongly correlated electrons. On the other hand, quantum computers are emerging as powerful tools for exploring the complex dynamics of these quantum many-body systems. In this work, we demonstrate the quantum simulation of the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model using IBM's superconducting quantum computers, employing over 100 qubits. We introduce a first-order Trotterization scheme and extend it to an o…
