• Abstract: The quest for improved sampling methods to solve statistical mechanics problems of physical and chemical interest proceeds with renewed efforts since the invention of the Metropolis algorithm, in 1953. In particular, the understanding of thermally activated rare-event processes between long-lived metastable states, such as protein folding, is still elusive. In this case, one needs both the finite-temperature canonical distribution function and the reaction current between the reactant and product states, to completely characterize the dynamic. Here we show how to tackle this problem using a quantum computer. We use the connection between a classical stochastic dynamics and the Schroedinger equation, also known as stochastic quantization, to variationally prepare quantum states allowing us to unbiasedly sample from a Boltzmann distribution. Similarly, reaction rate constants can be computed as ground state energies of suitably transformed operators, following the supersymmetric extension of the formalism. Finally, we propose a hybrid quantum-classical sampling scheme to escape local minima, and explore the configuration space in both real-space and spin hamiltonians. We indicate how to realize the quantum algorithms constructively, without assuming the existence of oracles, or quantum walk operators. The quantum advantage concerning the above applications is discussed.

  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.

  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
