Bias-Field Digitized Counterdiabatic Quantum Algorithm for Higher-Order Binary Optimization

Sebastián V. Romero, Anne-Maria Visuri, Alejandro Gomez Cadavid, Enrique Solano, and Narendra N. Hegade We present an enhanced bias-field digitized counterdiabatic quantum optimization (BF-DCQO) algorithm to address higher-order unconstrained binary optimization (HUBO) problems. Combinatorial optimization plays a crucial role in many industrial applications, yet classical computing often struggles with complex instances. By encoding these problems as […]

Alejandro Gomez Cadavid, Iraitz Montalban, Archismita Dalal, Enrique Solano, Narendra N. Hegade We propose a faster digital quantum algorithm for portfolio optimization using the digitized-counterdiabatic quantum optimization (DCQO) paradigm in the impulse regime, that is, where the counterdiabatic terms are dominant. Our approach notably reduces the circuit depth requirement of the algorithm and enhances the […]

Digital-analog quantum computing of fermion-boson models in superconducting circuits

Shubham Kumar, Narendra N. Hegade, Enrique Solano, Francisco Albarrán-Arriagada, Gabriel Alvarado Barrios We proposed the digital-analog encoding for fermion-boson models using superconducting circuits outperforming digital methods in terms of circuit depth which scales quadratically with the smaller dimension of the lattice, (e.g. for a 5X5 or 5X10000 lattice, the scaling remains 25) and, for 1D […]

General theory of digital-analog quantum computing (DAQC)

Adrian Parra-Rodriguez, Pavel Lougovski, Lucas Lamata, Enrique Solano, and Mikel Sanz, “Digital-Analog Quantum Computation”, Phys. Rev. A 101, 022305 (2020). This paper is the kick-off of the general theory on Digital-Analog Quantum Computing. Essentially, we proved there that we can be universal with DAQC, although we will use this mostly for bespoke Co-Design Quantum Computers […]
