• Abstract: Recent advancements in quantum computing are leading to an era of practical utility, enabling the tackling of increasingly complex problems. The goal of this era is to leverage quantum computing to solve real-world problems in fields such as machine learning, optimization, and material simulation, using revolutionary quantum methods and machines. All this progress has been achieved even while being immersed in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era, characterized by the current devices' inability to process medium-scale complex problems efficiently. Consequently, there has been a surge of interest in quantum algorithms in various fields. Multiple factors have played a role in this extraordinary development, with three being particularly noteworthy: (i) the development of larger devices with enhanced interconnections between their constituent qubits, (ii) the development of specialized frameworks, and (iii) the existence of well-known or ready-to-use hybrid schemes that simplify the method development process. In this context, this manuscript presents and overviews some recent contributions within this paradigm, showcasing the potential of quantum computing to emerge as a significant research catalyst in the fields of machine learning and optimization in the coming years.

  We study an open quantum system simulation on quantum hardware, which demonstrates robustness to hardware errors even with deep circuits containing up to two thousand entangling gates. We simulate two systems of electrons coupled to an infinite thermal bath: 1) a system of dissipative free electrons in a driving electric field; and 2) the thermalization of two interacting electrons in a single orbital in a magnetic field -- the Hubbard atom. Our results demonstrate that algorithms for simulating open quantum systems are able to far outperform similarly complex non-dissipative algorithms on noisy hardware.
