• Abstract: We investigate the interaction of a transmon qubit with a classical gravitational field. Exploiting the generic phenomena of the gravitational redshift and Aharonov-Bohm phase, we show that entangled quantum states dephase with a universal rate. The gravitational phase shift is expressed in terms of a quantum computing noise channel. We give a measurement protocol based on a modified phase estimation algorithm which is linear in the phase drift, which is optimal for measuring the small phase that is acquired from the gravitation channel. Additionally, we propose qubit-based platforms as quantum sensors for precision gravitometers and mechanical strain gauges as an example of this phenomenon's utility. We estimate a sensitivity for measuring the local gravitational acceleration to be $\delta g/g \sim 10^{-7}$. This paper demonstrates that classical gravitation has a non-trivial influence on quantum computing hardware, and provides an illustration of how quantum computing hardware may be utilized for purposes other than computation. While we focus on superconducting qubits, we point the universal nature of gravitational phase effects for all quantum platforms.

  We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with a gravitational wave for the case when the gravitational fluctuations are quantized. We observe that the solution of the time-dependent part of the pseudo-Goldstone boson has infusions from the noise induced by gravitons. We observe the effect of decoherence due to interacting phonon modes in the quantum gravitational Fisher information.

• Gaussian initializations help deep variational quantum circuits escape from the barren plateau [87.04438831673063]
  Variational quantum circuits have been widely employed in quantum simulation and quantum machine learning in recent years. However, quantum circuits with random structures have poor trainability due to the exponentially vanishing gradient with respect to the circuit depth and the qubit number. This result leads to a general belief that deep quantum circuits will not be feasible for practical tasks.

  We propose a new thought experiment, based on present-day Quantum Information Technologies, to measure quantum gravitational effects. The technique here proposed promise to reveal gravitational field fluctuations from the analysis of the noise associated to an ideal output of a measurement process of a quantum system. We find that this setup, built with massive mesoscopic particles, can potentially reveal the $t3$ gravitational phase term and thus, the BMV effect.
