• Abstract: Noise dominates every aspect of near-term quantum computers, rendering it exceedingly difficult to carry out even small computations. In this paper we are concerned with the modelling of noise in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers. We focus on three error groups that represent the main sources of noise during a computation and present quantum channels that model each source. We engineer a noise model that combines all three noise channels and simulates the evolution of the quantum computer using its calibrated error rates. We run various experiments of our model, showcasing its behaviour compared to other noise models and an IBM quantum computer. We find that our model provides a better approximation of the quantum computer's behaviour than the other models. Following this, we use a genetic algorithm to optimize the parameters used by our noise model, bringing the behaviour of the model even closer to the quantum computer. Finally, a comparison between the pre and postoptimization parameters reveals that, according to our model, certain operations can be more or less erroneous than the hardware-calibrated parameters show.

  We propose an efficient systematic construction of approximate noise channels, where their accuracy can be enhanced by incorporating noise components with higher qubit-qubit correlation degree. We find that, for realistic noise strength typical for fixed-frequency superconducting qubits, correlated noise beyond two-qubit correlation can significantly affect the code simulation accuracy.

• Simulating strongly interacting Hubbard chains with the Variational Hamiltonian Ansatz on a quantum computer [0.0]
  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) has been implemented to study molecules and condensed matter systems on small size quantum computers. We try to answer the question: how much of the underlying physics of a 1D Hubbard chain is described by a problem-inspired Variational Hamiltonian Ansatz (VHA) in a broad range of parameter values. Our findings suggest that even low fidelity solutions capture energy and number of doubly occupied sites well, while spin-spin correlations are not well captured even when the solution is of high fidelity.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
