Scientists have demonstrated a novel method for applying the quantum Grover Algorithm (GA) – to search for rare events in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV collision energy using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The search is […]
Hybrid quantum-classical scheme for prime factorization
Researchers have reported a quantum-classical hybrid scheme for factorization of bi-prime numbers (which are odd and square-free) using IBM’s quantum processors. The hybrid scheme has involved both classical optimization techniques and adiabatic quantum optimization techniques, […]
How to turn a Quantum Computer into a Quantum Material
Researchers at University of Chicago announced they were able to turn IBM’s largest quantum computer into a quantum material itself. They programmed the computer such that it turned into a type of quantum material called […]
Data-driven quantum error mitigation
Achieving near-term quantum advantage will require effective methods for mitigating hardware noise. One approach is to optimize quantum circuits using compiling and machine learning, while another employs variational quantum algorithms to reduce circuit depth and […]
Quantum simulation of electronic structure with a transcorrelated Hamiltonian
Researchers at IBM Research and Mercedez–Benz Research have demonstrated quantum simulations of electronic structure with a transformed Hamiltonian that includes some electron correlation effects. The transcorrelated Hamiltonian used in this work is efficiently constructed classically, […]
Reinforcement Learning with Quantum Variational Circuits
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have explored the potential for Quantum Computing to facilitate Reinforcement Learning (RL) problems. Deep RL has accelerated at astounding speed in the last decade. Achieving superhuman performance in massively complex […]
QuAlg: A symbolic algebra Quantum Computing package
Researcher at QuTech proposes QuAlg, an open-source symbolic algebra package for Quantum Computing. There are many packages and tools for representing and simulating quantum states and operations, such as nesquid, qutip or Qiskit. Most of […]
Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and quantum error mitigation
Quantum computers can exploit a Hilbert space whose dimension increases exponentially with the number of qubits. In experiment, quantum supremacy has recently been achieved by the Google team by using a noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) […]
New Qiskit Chemistry Module
IBM has just announced a complete overhaul of its Qiskit Chemistry module, plus the new Qiskit Gradients framework, meant both for quantum application developers as well as domain experts with basic knowledge of quantum computing. […]
Quantum systems and Quantum simulations
A joint research group at Freie Universität Berlin and Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has shown a way to simulate the quantum physical properties of complex solid state systems. This is done with the help of complex […]
