SUMMARY:NC State and Duke Quantum Computing Seminars
DESCRIPTION:NC State & Duke will host a Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminar Sept 10\, 2021! \nTalk Title:  Software and the honeycomb code \nSpeaker: Craig Gidney\, Google AI Quantum \nAbstract: \nRecently\, Hastings & Haah published a preprint  (arXiv:2107.02194) describing a quantum code where the logical observables must dance around. The counter-intuitive nature of the code’s observables\, and historical precedent\, would suggest that estimating the circuit-noise threshold of such a code would take months of work. Instead\, using the open source tools Stim and PyMatching\, initial prototype estimates were done over a weekend. This talk will discuss how these tools were used\, where they struggled\, and why they were able to cope with an unforeseen quantum code. The talk will also discuss the bottlenecks that made turning the weekend prototype into a fully-fledged paper take an additional month.\n\n \n\nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

SUMMARY:RESCHEDULED- NC State and Duke Quantum Computing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO \nOCTOBER 29\, 2021  – If you have Registered to attend  you will receive follow up information directly.  \nThis Seminar will be held October 8\, 2021 from 12 Noon – 1pm \nTalk Title: Topological quantum compiling — an introduction \nSpeaker: Layla Hormozi \nAbstract: Topological quantum computers are hypothetical devices in which quantum information is stored in certain topologically-ordered states of matter and quantum computation is carried out by “braiding” the world-lines of quasiparticle excitations that obey non-Abelian statistics in specific patterns. Since the storage and manipulation of quantum information depends only on the topological (global) properties of the system\, this method of quantum computing is (in principle) intrinsically fault-tolerant. I will review the basic properties of topological states and describe a general method for finding braiding patterns that correspond to a universal set of quantum gates on encoded topological qubits\, based on quasiparticles that can be realized as excitations of certain fractional quantum Hall states. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

SUMMARY:Duke and NC State Quantum Computing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Duke & NC State will host a series of Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminars for 2021 – 2022 Academic year! \nSeminars will be held each Friday this fall from 12 Noon – 1pm \nTalk Title:  Optimizing Tensor Network Ansatzes \nSpeaker:   Daniel Stilck França \nAbstract:  Tensor network states form a variational ansatz class widely used\, both analytically and numerically\, in the study of quantum many-body systems. It is known that if the underlying graph contains a cycle\, e.g.\, as in projected entangled pair states\, then the set of tensor network states of given bond dimension is not closed. Its closure is the tensor network variety. Recent work has shown that states on the boundary of this variety can yield more efficient representations for states of physical interest\, but it remained unclear how to systematically find and optimize over such representations. We address this issue by defining an ansatz class of states that includes states at the boundary of the tensor network variety of given bond dimension. We show how to optimize over this class in order to find ground states of local Hamiltonians by only slightly modifying standard algorithms and code for tensor networks. We apply this method to different models and observe favorable energies and runtimes when compared with standard tensor network methods. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

SUMMARY:NC State and Duke Quantum Computing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Duke & NC State will host a series of Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminars for 2021 – 2022 Academic year! \nSeminars will be held each Friday this fall from 12 Noon – 1pm \nTalk Title: Exploring Airline Gate-Scheduling Optimization Using Quantum Computers \nSpeaker: Hamed Mohammadbagerpoor \nAbstract:  Finding an optimal solution for scheduling\, planning\, and resource allocation problems with hard constraints has often been formulated as a combinatorial optimization with binary decision variables\, including application of graph coloring methods. However\, optimizing such cost functions using classical computers can become intractable as the number of nodes and edges of the graph increase. To mitigate this difficulty\, many researchers have been exploring various hybrid classical-quantum approaches. In this talk\, we will explore the state-of-the-art general quantum computing solutions for the QUBO optimization. In particular\, we will focus on a space-efficient embedding algorithm which can exponentially reduce the number of required qubits to find such graph coloring solutions. We will compare these results from our implementation for both general and space-efficient embedding and discuss how this approach can be applied to the challenges of airline gate-scheduling. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

SUMMARY:NC State and Duke Quantum Computing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Duke & NC State will host a series of Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminars for 2021 – 2022 Academic year! \nSeminars will be held each Friday this fall from 12 Noon – 1pm \nTalk Title:Lessons from Quantum Annealing for the NISQ Era \nSpeaker:  Tameem Albash \nAbstract: As a general-purpose quantum optimization algorithm\, quantum annealing was billed as a promising approach for early demonstrations of the broad utility of quantum computing. When the first commercial quantum annealing devices became available in 2011\, there was palpable excitement that we were on the verge of demonstrating the first quantum advantage over classical computing. This has not materialized yet; instead the physical realization of the algorithm in quantum annealers has revealed many obstacles.  I will discuss how decoherence in various forms impedes a determination of the potential of the algorithm\, and how strict benchmarking standards and improving classical algorithms have set a high bar for the demonstration of a quantum advantage. Our experience with quantum annealers will hopefully be valuable in evaluating future quantum information processors in the Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum era. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

Several experiments now trap tens of ions to perform small-scale algorithms in cutting-edge\, small-scale quantum computing testbeds. Here we present results demonstrating two tools not yet widely incorporated into the latest experiments. The first of these is the creation of a Bell-state with the highest fidelity yet measured [fidelity 0.9994(3)]. To achieve this result\, we employ a light-shift-based entangling scheme acting on a pair of 40Ca+ ions in a cryogenic surface-electrode ion trap. This experiment leverages qubit levels separated by an optical transition frequency as well as the high optical power that is available from a commercial 532 nm Nd:YAG laser. In another experiment\, we perform a two-qubit entangling Mølmer-Sørensen gate by transporting two 40Ca+ ions in a linear surface Paul trap through a stationary\, bichromatic laser beam. We measure variations in the Doppler shift of the ions during this transport and correct for these variations using modifications to the time dependence of the moving trap potential. This correction is enabled by the use of arbitrary waveform generators with high (20 MSPS) sampling rates for trap-electrode control. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

In this talk\, I will present an overview of major accomplishments in academia that have spurred multiple different startups to enter the quantum computing race\, focusing on the use of neutral atoms as a scalable qubit platform. With these proof of principle demonstrations in mind\, I will describe Atom Computing’s first prototype system which\, very recently\, announced the use of a unique qubit to achieve T2* times in excess of 20 seconds. Utilizing qubit states that are broadly insensitive to the environment they are trapped in\, this system is quickly becoming a testbed for how to build programmatic control into neutral atom systems that rivals other leading quantum computing platforms. \nThis is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke.

SUMMARY:First Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series for Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC’s Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminar \nNEW TIME: Seminars will be held each Friday this Spring from 2pm – 3pm\nTalk Title: Interactive Protocols for Classically-Verifiable Quantum Advantage with an Ion-Trap\nQuantum Computer \nSpeaker:   Daiwei Zhu \nAbstract: \nThe recent demonstrations of quantum advantage with superconducting and linear optics devices have highlighted both the impressive capabilities of near-term quantum computers but also the limitations in being able to verify the results in a scalable manner. This is because current experiments have focused on (classically-hard) sampling tasks which\, while relatively easy to implement in hardware\, require exponential time to validate their results. A way to overcome the intractability of verification is with interactive proofs of quantumness—protocols that leverage cryptographic functions as well as interactions between a prover and a verifier\, to bridge the gap between verifiability and implementation. \nIn this talk\, we present the first implementation of such an interactive test of quantum advantage on an ion-trap quantum computer. This consists of two complementary protocols—one based on the hardness of factoring\, which implements a type of computational Bell test and another based on the learning with errors (LWE) problem. To perform multiple rounds of interaction\, we used a split-and-shuttle approach to realize mid-circuit measurements on selected subsystems\, with subsequent coherent evolution. For both protocols\, the experimental results exceed the asymptotic bound for classical behavior; maintaining this fidelity at scale would conclusively demonstrate verifiable quantum advantage. \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

SUMMARY:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series Jan. 28
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC’s collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:Towards Quantum Advantage in Financial Market Risk using Quantum Gradient Algorithms \nSpeaker:  Nikitas Stamatopoulos\, Vice President in the R&D Engineering Division at Goldman Sachs \nHosted by: UNC Kenan-Flagler’s Rethinc. Labs \nAbstract: \nPrevious work has shown that quantum amplitude estimation can accelerate derivative pricing quadratically in the target error and with his team Stamatopoulos extends this to a quadratic error scaling advantage in market risk computation. They show that employing quantum gradient estimation algorithms can deliver a further quadratic advantage in the number of the associated market sensitivities\, usually called greeks. By numerically simulating the quantum gradient estimation algorithms on financial derivatives of practical interest\, they demonstrate that not only can we successfully estimate the greeks in the examples studied\, but that the resource requirements can be significantly lower in practice than what is expected by theoretical complexity bounds. This additional advantage in the computation of financial market risk lowers the estimated logical clock rate required for financial quantum advantage from Chakrabarti et al. [Quantum 5\, 463 (2021)] by a factor of 50\, from 50MHz to 1MHz\, even for a modest number of greeks by industry standards (four). Moreover\, they show that if we have access to enough resources\, the quantum algorithm can be parallelized across 30 QPUs for the same overall runtime as the serial execution if the logical clock rate of each device is ~30kHz\, same order of magnitude as the best current estimates of feasible target clock rates of around 10kHz. Throughout this work\, they summarize and compare several different combinations of quantum and classical approaches that could be used for computing the market risk of financial derivatives. \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC’s collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title: Faster and More Reliable Quantum SWAPs via Native Gates \nSpeaker:  Pranav Gokhale\, Co-founder and CEO of Super.tech \nHosted by:  Duke Quantum Center \nAbstract:  Due to the sparse connectivity of superconducting quantum computers\, qubit communication via SWAP gates accounts for the vast majority of overhead in quantum programs. We introduce a method for improving the speed and reliability of SWAPs at the level of the superconducting hardware’s native gateset. Our method relies on four techniques: 1) SWAP Orientation\, 2) Cross-Gate Pulse Cancellation\, 3) Commutation through Cross-Resonance\, and 4) Cross-Resonance Polarity. Importantly\, our Optimized SWAP is bootstrapped from the pre-calibrated gates\, and therefore incurs zero calibration overhead. We experimentally evaluate our optimizations with Qiskit Pulse on IBM hardware. Our Optimized SWAP is 11% faster and 13% more reliable than the Standard SWAP. We also experimentally validate our optimizations on application-level benchmarks. Due to (a) the multiplicatively compounding gains from improved SWAPs and (b) the frequency of SWAPs\, we observe typical improvements in success probability of 10-40%. The Optimized SWAP is available through the SuperstaQ platform. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:  Quantum field theories from quantum cellular automata \nSpeaker: Todd Brun\, USC Viterbi School of Engineering \nHosted by:  Duke Quantum Center \nAbstract:  Work done in collaboration with Leonard Mlodin \nQuantum walks (QWs) are unitary analogues of classical random walks\, and quantum cellular automata (QCAs) are unitary analogues of classical cellular automata. The QW on the 3D body-centered cubic lattice gives rise to solutions of the Dirac equation in the long-wavelength limit\, both in 1D and 3D; in 1D\, a two-dimensional internal space is required\, and in 3D a four-dimensional internal space. QWs can be treated as the one-particle sector of a QCA\, so it is natural to seek QCAs that give rise to quantum field theories in a similar limit.  This can be done fairly straightforwardly in one spatial dimension\, with the QCA being naturally described in terms of creation and annihilation operators that create or destroy particle locally\, evolve simply under the QCA unitary\, and obey the usual anticommutation relations.  However\, generalizing this construction to two or more spatial dimensions fails:  the requirements of anticommuting creation and annihilation operators are inconsistent with a local QCA.  For a QCA to give rise to a fermionic quantum field theory in the long-wavelength limit\, one must give up at least one desired property of the QCA. To evade this no-go theorem\, one can let the local subsystems become high-dimensional\, and restrict to the completely antisymmetric subspace of a larger space. Bosonic QCAs can also be constructed; these do not have the same problem with anticommutation\, but also require high-dimensional local subsystems. Taking these constructions as a model of particles propagating in discrete spacetime\, the discreteness could be detected using non-parallel matter interferometers. Finally\, we consider the problem of adding fermion-boson interactions\, and progress towards constructing a fully interacting QCA model\, and the potential for using QCAs to simulate quantum field theory. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

The preparation of the required Gibbs states\, as well as the evaluation of the loss function’s analytic gradient is based on Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution\, a technique that is typically used for ground state computation. In contrast to existing methods\, this implementation facilitates near-term compatible QBM training with gradients of the actual loss function for arbitrary parameterized Hamiltonians which do not necessarily have to be fully-visible but may also include hidden units. The variational Gibbs state approximation is demonstrated with numerical simulations and experiments run on real quantum hardware provided by IBM Quantum. Furthermore\, we illustrate the application of this variational QBM approach to generative and discriminative learning tasks using numerical simulation. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title: Quantum Error Correction in Costa Rica \nSpeaker: Mauricio Gutierrez \nHosted by:  Duke Quantum Center \nAbstract:   Fault-tolerant (FT) quantum computers will rely on quantum error correcting codes to actively protect the logical information from the deleterious effects of noise. Therefore\, quantum error correction (QEC) will be a crucial part in the construction of quantum computers capable of outperforming their classical counterparts in important problems. In this talk I will review some of my past and current work on QEC\, including feasibility studies of small QEC codes on realistic quantum architectures and the use of machine-learning techniques to improve the decoding process. I will also briefly talk about our future plans regarding the study of error mitigation schemes for the variational quantum eigensolver\, a popular algorithm that could be very useful for quantum chemistry before the advent of FT quantum computers. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

A common consideration within these compilers is how to take the existing errors of noisy hardware and mitigate their impacts. In this talk I will review some recent experimental implementation of compilation methods which can be accessible to users\, each with an associated overhead and relative overall improvement. I will consider how these tools can work together to allow users to keep intricate control of a system while abstracting away the need to worry about some of the details when so desired. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title: Generative Quantum Learning of Joint Probability Distribution Functions \nSpeaker: Elton Zhu \nHosted by:  IBM Quantum Hub at NC State \nAbstract:  Modeling joint probability distributions is an important task in a wide variety of fields. One popular technique for this employs a family of multivariate distributions with uniform marginals called copulas. While the theory of modeling joint distributions via copulas is well understood\, it gets practically challenging to accurately model real data with many variables. In this work\, we show that any copula can be naturally mapped to a multipartite maximally entangled state. Thus\, the task of learning joint probability distributions becomes the task of learning maximally entangled states. We prove that a variational ansatz we christen as a `qopula’ based on this insight leads to an exponential advantage over classical methods of learning some joint distributions. As an application\, we train a Quantum Generative Adversarial Network (QGAN) and a Quantum Circuit Born Machine (QCBM) using this variational ansatz to generate samples from joint distributions of two variables in historical data from the stock market. We demonstrate our generative learning algorithms on trapped ion quantum computers from IonQ for up to 8 qubits. Our experimental results show remarkable findings such as the resilience against noise\, outperformance against equivalent classical models and 20-1000 times less iterations required to converge as compared to equivalent classical models. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

Labs \nAbstract:   The famous least squares Monte Carlo (LSM) algorithm combines linear least square regression with Monte Carlo simulation to approximately solve problems in stochastic optimal stopping theory. In this work\, we propose a quantum LSM based on quantum access to a stochastic process\, on quantum circuits for computing the optimal stopping times\, and on quantum Monte Carlo techniques. For this algorithm we elucidate the intricate interplay of function approximation and quantum Monte Carlo algorithms. Our algorithm achieves a nearly quadratic speedup in the runtime compared to the LSM algorithm under some mild assumptions. Specifically\, our quantum algorithm can be applied to American option pricing and we analyze a case study for the common situation of Brownian motion and geometric Brownian motion processes. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:  NISQ-HHL: Portfolio Optimization for Near-Term Quantum Hardware \nSpeaker: Dylan Herman \nHosted by:  UNC Kenan-Flagler Rethinc. Labs \nAbstract:  Portfolio optimization is an essential use case in Finance\, but its computational complexity forces financial institutions to resort to approximated solutions\, which are time consuming. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers\, the mean-variance portfolio optimization problem can be represented by a system of linear equations and potentially benefit from the exponential speedup provided by the HHL quantum algorithm. However\, multiple components in HHL are unsuitable for execution on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware. This paper introduces NISQ-HHL\, the first hybrid formulation of HHL suitable for the end-to-end execution of small-scale portfolio-optimization problems on NISQ devices. NISQ-HHL extends the hybrid HHL variant with newly available quantum-hardware features: mid-circuit measurement\, qubit reset and reuse\, and Quantum Conditional Logic (QCL). To the best of our knowledge\, NISQ-HHL is the first algorithm incorporating a QCL-enhanced version of Phase Estimation executed on real hardware\, the trapped-ion Quantinuum System Model H1-1. In addition\, NISQ-HHL includes a novel method for choosing the optimal evolution time for Hamiltonian simulation. Although this paper focuses on portfolio optimization\, the techniques it proposes to make HHL more scalable are generally applicable to any problem that can be solved via HHL in the NISQ era. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu \n
