Hhl Algorithm On The Honeywell H1 Quantum Computer, Adrik B. Herbert, Eric A. F. Reinhardt

Discovery Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Internship

The quantum algorithm for linear systems of equations (HHL algorithm) provides an efficient tool for finding solutions to systems of functions with a large number of variables and low sensitivity to changes in inputs (i.e. low error rates). For complex problems, such as matrix inversion, HHL requires exponentially less computational time as compared with classical computation methods. HHL can be adapted to current quantum computing systems with limited numbers of qubits (quantum computation bits) but a high reusability rate such as the Honeywell H1 quantum computer. Some methods for improving HHL have been proposed through the combination of quantum and …

Open Access Dissertations

Quantum computing is an emerging area between computer science and physics. Numerous problems in quantum computing involve quantum many-body interactions. This dissertation concerns the problem of simulating arbitrary quantum many-body interactions using realistic two-body interactions. To address this issue, a general class of techniques called perturbative reductions (or perturbative gadgets) is adopted from quantum complexity theory and in this dissertation these techniques are improved for experimental considerations. The idea of perturbative reduction is based on the mathematical machinery of perturbation theory in quantum physics. A central theme of this dissertation is then to analyze the combinatorial structure of the perturbation …
