Title: Evaluating analytic gradients of pulse programs on quantum computers
Authors: Korbinian Kottmann, Nathan Killoran
Abstract summary: Parametrized pulse programs running on quantum hardware can be differentiated via the parameter-shift (SPS) rule. We introduce a new analytic method for computing gradients of pulse programs, that we coin ODEgen. We demonstrate a pulse VQE run with gradients computed via ODEgen entirely on quantum hardware.

Abstract: Parametrized pulse programs running on quantum hardware can be differentiated via the stochastic parameter-shift (SPS) rule. We overcome the intrinsically approximate nature of SPS by introducing a new analytic method for computing gradients of pulse programs, that we coin ODEgen. In this new method, we find effective generators of pulse gates using a differentiable ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver. These effective generators inform parameter-shift rules that can be evaluated on quantum hardware. We showcase simulated VQE examples with realistic superconducting transmon systems, for which we obtain lower energies with fewer quantum resources using ODEgen over SPS. We further demonstrate a pulse VQE run with gradients computed via ODEgen entirely on quantum hardware.

Universal quantum processors in spin systems via robust local pulse sequences [0.0]
We propose a protocol to realize quantum simulation and computation in spin systems with long-range interactions. Our approach relies on the local addressing of single spins with external fields parametrized by Walsh functions. We demonstrate and numerically benchmark our protocol with examples from the dynamics of spin models, quantum error correction and quantum optimization algorithms.

Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics: A performance study on the spin-boson model [68.8204255655161]
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.
