Bonsai Algorithm: Grow Your Own Fermion-to-Qubit Mappings

2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Fermion-to-qubit mappings are used to represent fermionic modes on quantum computers, an essential first step in many quantum algorithms for electronic structure calculations. In this work, we present a formalism to design flexible fermion-to-qubit mappings …

Experimental optical simulator of reconfigurable and complex quantum environment

2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

No quantum system can be considered totally isolated from its environment. In most cases the interaction between the system of interest and the external degrees of freedom deeply changes its dynamics, as described by open …
