Canada Invests CAD $195 Million in Xanadu for Quantum ManufacturingTier 2
Stochastic transport of a Goldstone mode in a self-organized atomic crystalTier 3
Spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry produces a massless Goldstone mode that can evolve across a degenerate manifold at zero energy cost. Goldstone modes have been identified primarily through excitation spectra, mode softening or collective oscillations. However, their time-domain transport under intrinsic fluctuations and dissipation has remained largely unexplore...
Long-time Dynamics of Many-body Open Quantum Systems using Quantum Generating FunctionsTier 3
The interplay between coherent unitary evolution and environment-induced dissipation can give rise to a wide range of non-equilibrium dynamics in open quantum systems, ranging from interesting transport phenomena to dynamical phase transitions. However, accessing such long-time dynamics remains challenging for the existing methods developed for the simulation of many-body op...
The Find Rows and Columns and Decode algorithm for quantum expander codesTier 3
A new adaptation of the Find Erasures and Decode algorithm from classical to quantum expander codes is presented. It runs in linear time and is parallelizable to logarithmic depth. Compared to Small Set Flip and Small Set Find, the new algorithm avoids the overhead of considering the subsets of stabilizer generators, requires less expansion and corrects more errors.
