• Authors: Balázs Pozsgay, Kohei Fukai,
• Abstract summary: Multiple families of spin chain models have a free fermionic spectrum, even though they are not solvable by a Jordan-Wigner transformation. We construct circuits using local unitary gates built from the terms in the local Hamiltonians of the respective models. In certain cases we prove the free fermionic nature, while for other geometries we confirm it numerically.

• Abstract: Recently multiple families of spin chain models were found, which have a free fermionic spectrum,even though they are not solvable by a Jordan-Wigner transformation. Instead, the free fermions emerge as a result of a rather intricate construction. In this work we consider the quantum circuit formulation of the problem. We construct circuits using local unitary gates built from the terms in the local Hamiltonians of the respective models, and ask the question: which circuit geometries (sequence of gates) lead to a free fermionic spectrum? Our main example is the 4-fermion model of Fendley, where we construct free fermionic circuits with various geometries. In certain cases we prove the free fermionic nature, while for other geometries we confirm it numerically. Surprisingly, we find that many standard brickwork circuits are not free fermionic, but we identify certain symmetric constructions which are. We also consider a recent generalization of the 4-fermion model and obtain the factorization of its transfer matrix, and subsequently derive a free-fermionic circuit for this case as well.

  We find efficient measures of non-Gaussian magic in pure fermionic states. Three notions for the Gaussification of a state coincide by proving a central limit theorem for fermionic systems. We then utilize the violation of Wick's theorem and the matchgate identity to quantify non-Gaussian magic in addition to a SWAP test.

  We introduce fermion-qubit fault-tolerant quantum computing, a framework which removes this overhead altogether. We show how our framework can be implemented in neutral atoms, overcoming the apparent inability of neutral atoms to implement non-number-conserving gates. Our framework opens the door to fermion-qubit fault-tolerant quantum computation in platforms with native fermions.

• Geometric Quantum Machine Learning with Horizontal Quantum Gates [41.912613724593875]
  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

  Local Hamiltonians of fermionic systems on a lattice can be mapped onto local qubit Hamiltonians. Maintaining locality comes at the expense of increasing the Hilbert space with auxiliary degrees of freedom. We demonstrate how maintaining locality allows one to carry out a Trotterized time-evolution with constant circuit depth per time step.

  Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.
