Adiabatic Quantum Kitchen Sinks for Learning Kernels Using Randomized Features

By Moslem Noori, Seyed Shakib Vedaie, Inderpreet Singh, Daniel Crawford, Jaspreet S. Oberoi, Barry C. Sanders, & Ehsan Zahedinejad
Quantum information processing is likely to have far-reaching impact in the field of artificial intelligence. While the race to build an error-corrected quantum computer is ongoing, noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices provide an immediate platform for exploring a possible quantum advantage through hybrid quantum–classical machine learning algorithms. One example of such a hybrid algorithm is “quantum kitchen sinks”, which builds upon the classical algorithm known as “random kitchen sinks” to leverage a gate model quantum computer for machine learning applications. We propose an alternative algorithm called “adiabatic quantum kitchen sinks”, which employs an adiabatic quantum device to transform data features into new features in a non-linear manner, which can then be employed by classical machine learning algorithms. We present the effectiveness of our algorithm for performing binary classification on both a synthetic dataset and a real-world dataset. In terms of classification accuracy, our algorithm significantly enhances the performance of a classical linear classifier on the studied binary classification tasks and can potentially be implemented on a current adiabatic quantum device to solve practical problems.

Neural Error Mitigation of Near-Term Quantum Simulations

By Elizabeth R. Bennewitz, Florian Hopfmueller, Bohdan Kulchytskyy, Juan Carrasquilla, & Pooya Ronagh

One of the promising applications of early quantum computers is the simulation of quantum systems. Variational methods for near-term quantum computers, such as the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), are a promising approach to finding ground states of quantum systems relevant in physics, chemistry, and materials science…

Benchmark Study of Quantum Algorithms for Combinatorial Optimization: Unitary versus Dissipative

By Krishanu Sankar, Artur Scherer, Satoshi Kako, Sam Reifenstein, Navid Ghadermarzy, Willem B. Krayenhoff, Yoshitaka Inui, Edwin Ng, Tatsuhiro Onodera, Pooya Ronagh, & Yoshihisa Yamamoto

We study the performance scaling of three quantum algorithms for combinatorial optimization: measurement-feedback coherent Ising machines (MFB-CIM), discrete adiabatic quantum computation (DAQC), and the Dürr-Hoyer algorithm for quantum minimum finding (DH-QMF) that is based on Grover’s search. We use MaxCut problems as our reference for comparison, and time-to-solution (TTS) as a practical measure of performance for these optimization algorithms…

Scaling Up Electronic Structure Calculations on Quantum Computers: The Frozen Natural Orbital Based Method of Increments

By Prakash Verma, Lee Huntington, Marc Coons, Yukio Kawashima, Takeshi Yamazaki, & Arman Zaribafiyan

The method of increments and frozen natural orbital (MI-FNO) framework is introduced to help expedite the application of noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices for quantum chemistry simulations. The MI-FNO framework provides a systematic reduction of the occupied and virtual orbital spaces for quantum chemistry simulations. The correlation energies of the resulting increments from the MI-FNO reduction can then be solved by various algorithms, including quantum algorithms such as the phase estimation algorithm and the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE)…

Variationally Scheduled Quantum Simulation

By Shunji Matsuura, Samantha Buck, Valentin Senicourt, & Arman Zaribafiyan

Eigenstate preparation is ubiquitous in quantum computing, and a standard approach for generating the lowest-energy states of a given system is by employing adiabatic state preparation (ASP). In the present work, we investigate a variational method for determining the optimal scheduling procedure within the context of ASP. In the absence of quantum error correction, running a quantum device for any meaningful amount of time causes a system to become susceptible to the loss of relevant information…

Quantum computers have the potential to perform accurate and efficient electronic structure calculations, enabling the simulation of properties of materials. However, today’s noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices have a limited number of qubits and gate operations due to the presence of errors. Here, we propose a systematically improvable end-to-end pipeline to alleviate these limitations…
