Simulating Quantum Field Theory with a Quantum Computer
Simulating quantum field theory with a quantum computer John Preskill Lattice 2018 28 July 2018 This talk has two parts (1) Near-term prospects for quantum computing. (2) Opportunities in quantum simulation of quantum field theory. Exascale digital computers will advance our knowledge of QCD, but some challenges will remain, especially concerning real-time evolution and properties of nuclear matter and quark-gluon plasma at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. Digital computers may never be able to address these (and other) problems; quantum computers will solve them eventually, though I’m not sure when. The physics payoff may still be far away, but today’s research can hasten the arrival of a new era in which quantum simulation fuels progress in fundamental physics.

A Scanning Transmon Qubit for Strong Coupling Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics
ARTICLE Received 8 Mar 2013 | Accepted 10 May 2013 | Published 7 Jun 2013 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2991 A scanning transmon qubit for strong coupling circuit quantum electrodynamics W. E. Shanks1, D. L. Underwood1 & A. A. Houck1 Like a quantum computer designed for a particular class of problems, a quantum simulator enables quantitative modelling of quantum systems that is computationally intractable with a classical computer. Superconducting circuits have recently been investigated as an alternative system in which microwave photons confined to a lattice of coupled resonators act as the particles under study, with qubits coupled to the resonators producing effective photon–photon interactions. Such a system promises insight into the non-equilibrium physics of interacting bosons, but new tools are needed to understand this complex behaviour. Here we demonstrate the operation of a scanning transmon qubit and propose its use as a local probe of photon number within a superconducting resonator lattice. We map the coupling strength of the qubit to a resonator on a separate chip and show that the system reaches the strong coupling regime over a wide scanning area. 1 Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, Olden Street, Princeton 08550, New Jersey, USA.

Methodology for quantum logic gate construction 1,2 3,2 2 Xinlan Zhou ∗, Debbie W. Leung †, and Isaac L. Chuang ‡ 1 Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-4090 2 IBM Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120 3 Quantum Entanglement Project, ICORP, JST Edward Ginzton Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-4085 (October 29, 2018) We present a general method to construct fault-tolerant quantum logic gates with a simple primitive, which is an analog of quantum teleportation. The technique extends previous results based on traditional quantum teleportation (Gottesman and Chuang, Nature 402, 390, 1999) and leads to straightforward and systematic construction of many fault-tolerant encoded operations, including the π/8 and Toffoli gates. The technique can also be applied to the construction of remote quantum operations that cannot be directly performed. I. INTRODUCTION Practical realization of quantum information processing requires specific types of quantum operations that may be difficult to construct. In particular, to perform quantum computation robustly in the presence of noise, one needs fault-tolerant implementation of quantum gates acting on states that are block-encoded using quantum error correcting codes [1–4]. Fault-tolerant quantum gates must prevent propagation of single qubit errors to multiple qubits within any code block so that small correctable errors will not grow to exceed the correction capability of the code. This requirement greatly restricts the types of unitary operations that can be performed on the encoded qubits. Certain fault-tolerant operations can be implemented easily by performing direct transversal operations on the encoded qubits, in which each qubit in a block interacts only with one corresponding qubit, either in another block or in a specialized ancilla. -
Fault-Tolerant Interface Between Quantum Memories and Quantum Processors
ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01418-2 OPEN Fault-tolerant interface between quantum memories and quantum processors Hendrik Poulsen Nautrup 1, Nicolai Friis 1,2 & Hans J. Briegel1 Topological error correction codes are promising candidates to protect quantum computa- tions from the deteriorating effects of noise. While some codes provide high noise thresholds suitable for robust quantum memories, others allow straightforward gate implementation 1234567890 needed for data processing. To exploit the particular advantages of different topological codes for fault-tolerant quantum computation, it is necessary to be able to switch between them. Here we propose a practical solution, subsystem lattice surgery, which requires only two-body nearest-neighbor interactions in a fixed layout in addition to the indispensable error correction. This method can be used for the fault-tolerant transfer of quantum information between arbitrary topological subsystem codes in two dimensions and beyond. In particular, it can be employed to create a simple interface, a quantum bus, between noise resilient surface code memories and flexible color code processors. 1 Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Innsbruck, Technikerstr. 21a, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria. 2 Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Boltzmanngasse 3, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

First, several types of scalable solid state quantum bits were developed, which demonstrated controlled quan- tum coherence in artificial mesoscopic structures [–] and eventually led to the devel- opment of structures, which contain hundreds of qubits and show signatures of global quantum coherence (see [, ] and references therein). In parallel, it was realized that the interaction of superconducting qubits with quantized electromagnetic field modes re- produces, in the microwave range, a plethora of effects known from quantum optics (in particular, cavity QED) with qubits playing the role of atoms (‘circuit QED’, [–]). -

Redefining Metrics in Near-Term Devices for Quantum Information
Mo01 Redefining metrics in near-term devices for quantum information processing Antonio C´orcoles IBM E-mail: [email protected] The outstanding progress in experimental quantum computing over the last couple of decades has pushed multi-qubit gate error rates in some platforms well below 1%. How- ever, as the systems have grown in size and complexity so has the richness of the inter- actions within them, making the meaning of gate fidelity fade when taken isolated from its environment. In this talk I will discuss this topic and offer alternatives to benchmark the performance of small quantum processors for near-term applications.

While non-Clifford noise is ubiquitous in experiments, the error threshold under non-Clifford noise cannot be efficiently treated with known approaches. We construct an efficient scheme for estimating the error threshold of one-dimensional quantum repetition code under non-Clifford noise[1]. -

Quantum error correction codes, then, can be employed to diagnose and remove the possible errors in the quantum information, thereby avoiding the loss of information. Although a series of single- and two-qubit gates can be employed to construct a quan- tum error correcting circuit, however this decomposition approach is not practically desirable because it leads to circuits with long operation times. An alternative ap- proach to designing a fast quantum circuit is to design quantum gates that act on a multi-qubit gate. -
