• Abstract: Quantum chemistry is one of the important applications of quantum information technology. Especially, an estimation of the energy gap between a ground state and excited state of a target Hamiltonian corresponding to a molecule is essential. In the previous approach, an energy of the ground state and that of the excited state are estimated separately, and the energy gap can be calculated from the subtraction between them. Here, we propose a direct estimation of the energy gap between the ground state and excited state of the target Hamiltonian with quantum annealing. The key idea is to combine a Ramsey type measurement with the quantum annealing. This provides an oscillating signal with a frequency of the energy gap, and a Fourier transform of the signal let us know the energy gap. Based on typical parameters of superconducting qubits, we numerically investigate the performance of our scheme when we estimate an energy gap between the ground state and first excited state of the Hamiltonian. We show robustness against non-adiabatic transitions between the ground state and first-excited state. Our results pave a new way to estimate the energy gap of the Hamiltonian for quantum chemistry.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  We report on an energy-conversion device with the working medium acted by two entangled ions confined in a harmonic potential. The two ions are entangled by virtually coupling to one of the vibrational modes shared by the two ions, and the quantum engine couples to a quantum load. We explore the energy conversion efficiency of the quantum engine and investigate the useful energy (i.e., the maximum extractable work) stored in the quantum load.

  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

• Approximate Quantum Algorithms as a Multiphoton Raman Excitation of a Quasicontinuum Edge [0.0]
  Many quantum algorithms can be seen as a transition from a well-defined initial quantum state to an unknown target quantum state. In this context, approximate quantum calculations imply transition not to the single, minimum energy, state but to a group of states close to the minimum. We demonstrate that the energy width of the population energy distribution over the band is mainly dictated by the time-energy uncertainty principle.

  Energy gap is the difference between the energy of the ground state of a given Hamiltonian and the energy of its first excited state. We present a technique to determine the upper bound for the energy gap of a Hamiltonian. We illustrate with a concrete example of the XY model -- a physical system with vanishing energy gap.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
