Can quantum annealing find excited states?

If we start with a Hamiltonian $H(t_i)$, and with our qubits prepared in the ground state of this, and then slowly change this to a Hamiltonian $H(t_i)$, the final state of our qubits should be the ...

What is the actual power of Quantum Phase Estimation?

I have some perplexity concerning the concept of phase estimation: by definition, given a unitary operator $U$ and an eigenvector $|u\rangle$ with related eigenvalue $\text{exp}(2\pi i \phi)$, the ...

What is the applicability of quantum network coding?

As the title suggests, I want to know what the applicability of quantum network coding is, besides the EPR pair construction between distant pairs of 'Users-Targets'. Can quantum network coding be ...

Are Genetic Programming runtimes faster on QCs than on classical computers?

If this isn't known, would they theoretically be? I'm particularly interested in knowing whether a QC would be faster at evaluating the fitness function of the possible solutions than a classical ...

Why does (almost) every pair of Hamiltonians generate, through repeated commutation, the whole space of Hermitian matrices?

In [1], the problem of simulating a Hamiltonian using repeated applications of a different set of Hamiltonians is discussed. In particular, let $A$ and $B$ be a pair of Hermitian operators, and let $\...

How can I build a circuit to generate an equal superposition of 3 outcomes for 2 qubits?

Given a $2$ qubit-system and thus $4$ possible measurements results in the basis $\{|00\rangle$, $|01\rangle$, $|10\rangle$, $|11\rangle\}$, how can I prepare the state, where: only $3$ of these $4$ ...

Barren plateaus in quantum neural network training landscapes

Here the authors argue that the efforts of creating a scalable quantum neural network using a set of parameterized gates are deemed to fail for a large number of qubits. This is due to the fact that, ...

How to interpret a quantum circuit as a matrix?

If a circuit takes more than one qubit as its input and has quantum gates which take different numbers of qubits as their input, how would we interpret this circuit as a matrix? Here is a toy example:...

Are bucket-brigate (q)RAM architectures also advantageous in the classical case?

One of the main ideas introduced in Giovannetti et al. 2007 (0708.1879) is the so-called bucket-brigade (q)RAM architecture. The authors state (first paragraph, second column, first page, in v2) ...

What does “conjugation of coordinates” mean with respect to GF(4) (quantum) codes

In On the classification of all self-dual additive codes over $\textrm{GF}(4)$ of length up to 12 by Danielsen and Parker, they state: Two self-dual additive codes over $\textrm{GF}(4)$, $C$ and $...

How does this parallel computation scheme fail?

I've accidentally written a procedure which appears to compute both outputs of a long-running function $f: \{0,1\} \to \{1...n\}$ using one run of $f$ plus $\mathcal{O}(n)$ time. I thought this couldn'...
