Quantum Computing

Abstract Digital quantum computers provide a computational framework for solving the Schrödinger equation for a variety of many‐particle systems. Quantum computing algorithms for the quantum simulation of these systems have recently witnessed remarkable growth, notwithstanding the limitations of existing quantum hardware, especially as a tool for electronic structure computations in molecules. In this review, we provide a self‐contained introduction to emerging algorithms for the simulation of Hamiltonian dynamics and eigenstates, with emphasis on their applications to the electronic structure in molecular systems. Theoretical foundations and implementation details of the method are discussed, and their strengths, limitations, and recent advances are presented.

In 1994 Peter Shor [65] published a factoring algorithm for a quantum computer that finds the prime factors of a composite integer N more efficiently than is possible with the known algorithms for a classical com­ puter. Since the difficulty of the factoring problem is crucial for the se­ curity of a public key encryption system, interest (and funding) in quan­ tum computing and quantum computation suddenly blossomed. Quan­ tum computing had arrived. The study of the role of quantum mechanics in the theory of computa­ tion seems to have begun in the early 1980s with the publications of Paul Benioff [6]' [7] who considered a quantum mechanical model of computers and the computation process. A related question was discussed shortly thereafter by Richard Feynman [35] who began from a different perspec­ tive by asking what kind of computer should be used to simulate physics. His analysis led him to the belief that with a suitable class of "quantum machines" one could imitate any quantum system.

The interpretation of measurements of high-energy particle collisions relies heavily on the performance of full event generators, which include the calculation of the hard process and the subsequent parton shower step. With the continuous improvement of quantum devices, dedicated algorithms are needed to exploit the potential quantum that computers can provide. We propose general and extendable algorithms for quantum gate computers to facilitate calculations of helicity amplitudes and the parton shower process. The helicity amplitude calculation exploits the equivalence between spinors and qubits and the unique features of a quantum computer to compute the helicities of each particle involved simultaneously, thus fully utilizing the quantum nature of the computation. This advantage over classical computers is further exploited by the simultaneous computation of s- and t-channel amplitudes for a $2\ensuremath{\rightarrow}2$ process. The parton shower algorithm simulates collinear emission for a two-step, discrete parton shower. In contrast to classical implementations, the quantum algorithm constructs a wave function with a superposition of all shower histories for the whole parton shower process, thus removing the need to explicitly keep track of individual shower histories. Both algorithms utilize the quantum computers ability to remain in a quantum state throughout the computation and represent a first step towards a quantum computing algorithm describing the full collision event at the LHC.

When quantum computing was first being invented, it was hoped that it would be able to solve NP-complete problems just through the parallelism of quantum mechanics. Such a scheme would do a brute force search and would not need to use any of the structure of these problems. These hopes were dashed in 1995 by the BBBV paper, this proved that the best improvement that such an unstructured search scheme could provide was a square-root speedup. Based on this result, it is often said that quantum computing algorithms could not possibly solve NP-complete problems. However, it should be emphasized that this is only true if we look at the NP-complete problem as an exhaustive search problem. NP-complete problems have considerable structure and there well might be other more advantageous ways of looking at them. The science of quantum computation is relatively new and there are several unexplored directions. As described in the interim reports and briefly in this report, we have spent some time exploring novel algorithms that make use of the power of quantum mechanics to take advantage of the structured nature of these problems. This report describes the research that I and my collaborators have conducted at Bell Labs over the last five years. The report is organized as follows:

Abstract Alice and Bob introduce and explain in detail some of the algorithms that convinced physicists and computer scientists that there might be something to this crazy idea of quantum computing. Each algorithm provides a case study of how the properties of quantum states can be used to provide an advantage for using a quantum computer compared to a classical computer. Alice and Bob describe the Deutsch algorithm, designed to answer a simple question about the properties of functions of binary digits (0 and 1), and the Simon algorithm, which finds a “secret code.” The Simon algorithm, like many other quantum algorithms, is a mix of quantum state algorithms and classical computational methods. Alice and Bob also introduce Hadamard gates that act on multi-qubit systems. Those gates play an important role in many quantum algorithms.

With the increasing accessibility of quantum computers to the wider population, there is a growing demand for the education and training of a group of quantum programmers. This cohort predominantly consists of individuals who have primarily focused on the development of classical computer programs throughout their professional careers. Although existing quantum computers currently possess fewer than 100 qubits, it is widely anticipated that the quantum computing hardware will experience significant advancements in terms of qubit quantity, quality, and connectivity. The objective of this review is to elucidate the fundamental principles of quantum programming, which diverge significantly from classical programming. This will be achieved through the utilization of concise algebraic expressions, allowing for an optional comprehension of the captivating underlying principles of quantum mechanics. This paper provides an overview of quantum computing algorithms and their practical implementation on physical quantum hardware. In this study, we undertake a comprehensive examination of various quantum algorithms, with the objective of providing concise and self-contained descriptions for each. In this study, we demonstrate the practical implementation of the aforementioned algorithms on IBM's quantum computer. For each algorithm, we thoroughly analyze and compare the outcomes obtained from the implementation on the quantum computer with those obtained from the simulator. This analysis focuses on identifying and discussing any disparities that arise between the results obtained from the simulator and the actual hardware runs. This article serves as an introduction to quantum algorithms for computer scientists, physicists, and engineers, offering a comprehensive guide for their practical implementation.

Title: Quantum computing algorithms for quantum chemistry Author: Jakub Višňák Abstract: The topic of this study is the simulation of the quantum algorithm for the diagonalization of the matrix representation of the all-electron Dirac-Coulomb hamiltonian of the SbH molecule. Two different limited CI expansions were used to describe both the ground state (X 0+ ) and the first excited doublet (A 1) by simulating the Iterative Phase Estinamtion Algorith (IPEA). In the simulations numerically performed in this work, the "compact mapping" has been employed for the representation of the evolution operator exp(i Hˆ t); in the theoretical part of the work, the "direct mapping" is described as well. The influence of the metodics for choosing the initial eigenvector estimate is studied in both IPEA A and IPEA B variants. For those variants, the success probabilities pm are computed for different single-points on the SbH dissociation curves. The initial eigenvector estimates based on the "CISD(2)" method are found to be sufficient for both studied LCI-expansions up to internuclear distance R  6 a0. The pm dependence on the overlap between the eigenvector in question and its inital estimate - 2 0  is studied the for IPEA B method. The usability of the both variants of the IPEA in possible later calculations is...
