It turns out that, often, clean workspace qubits can be used in a way that's "viral". Where you end up with more and more workspace that you can use as-if-it-was-clean. Very useful trick, found in parallel by several recent papers. arxiv.org/abs/2407.17966

🚨Important #quantumcomputing results published in @NatureComms today🚨: "Polylogarithmic-depth controlled-NOT gates without ancilla qubits" 👉: doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-5… In quantum computing, multi-control NOT gates are the quantum equivalent of classical ‘AND’ operations. While being true building blocks of quantum algorithms, their decomposition into native quantum gates is non-trivial. In this work, we achieve exponentially shorter circuits than previous state-of-the-art. The resulting exponential speedup is likely to have a substantial impact on fault-tolerant quantum computing by improving the complexities of countless quantum algorithms with applications ranging from quantum chemistry to physics, finance and quantum machine learning.

We conducted quantum state preparation for complex molecular systems using various advanced methods that are evaluated and compared in terms of their circuit depth, CNOT count & classical computational complexity. Our simulations indicate that the recently developed Overlap-ADAPT-VQE algorithm (Commun Phys, 2023, 6, 192) offers the most advantageous performance for near-term applications.

New #preprint between our group @LCT_UMR7616 and @qubit_pharma : Polylogarithmic-depth controlled-NOT gates without ancilla qubits. arxiv.org/abs/2312.13206 The question of decomposing efficiently any n-qubit operation into a reasonable number of primitive single- and two-qubit operations is one of the major challenges in #quantumcomputing. In this context, multi-controlled operations (n-Toffoli gates) act as building-blocks of many prevalent quantum algorithms. For this reason, achieving more effective decompositions of multi-controlled operations has the potential to bring about significant enhancements in quantum algorithms. We propose a complete strategy to obtain an exponential speedup for these tasks. It is likely that such results will have a substantial impact on fault-tolerant quantum computing (#FTQC) by improving the complexities of countless quantum algorithms including key #compchem ones. Stellar work from Baptiste Claudon, @julienzylberman and @ChemCesar. Great collaboration with F. Debbasch and @alberto_peruzzo. @Sorbonne_Univ_ @CNRS

#compchem New #quantumcomputing preprint: Sparse quantum state preparation for strongly correlated systems. Check it out here: arxiv.org/abs/2311.03347 We conducted quantum state preparation for complex molecular systems using various advanced methods that are evaluated and compared in terms of their circuit depth, CNOT count & classical computational complexity. Our simulations indicate that the recently developed Overlap-ADAPT-VQE algorithm (Commun Phys, 2023, 6, 192) offers the most advantageous performance for near-term applications. Our findings are supported by computations up to 28 qubits thanks to our in-house (multi)GPU-accelerated state-vector emulator => 28 qubits on a single @nvidia DGX-A100 !!!
