Training Quantum Dragons

The Non-Equilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) is the standard formalism for nano-scale electron transport. By recasting the NEGF scattering problem as a linear system of equations whose solution encodes the transmission and reflection amplitudes, we present the first quantum computerized implementation of NEGF. We apply both the Harrow--Hassidim--Lloyd and Variational Quantum Linear Solver algorithms to compute the transmission coefficient $T(E)$ of quantum dragon nanodevices within the single-band tight-binding model. Quantum dragon devices exhibit perfect transmission across the full conducting band regardless of internal disorder. The problem maps onto compact circuits of 3 and 4 total physical qubits for the 2-site and 6-site dragon devices, respectively. A similarity transformation block-diagonalizes the NEGF linear system reducing the Pauli decomposition of the block-encoded matrix. We demonstrate the feasibility of quantum computation by performing ideal and noise-aware simulations and computations on physical IBM quantum processor.

Elastic scattering on a quantum computer

Scattering probes the internal structure of quantum systems. We calculate the two-particle elastic scattering phase shift for a short-ranged interaction on a quantum computer. Short-ranged interactions with a large scattering length or shallow bound state describe a universality class that is of interest in atomic, condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics. The phase shift is calculated by relating the ground state energy of the interacting particles in a harmonic trap. The relaxation method is used as the variational quantum eigensolver for the ground state calculation. Schmidt decomposition is used to reduce quantum circuits nominally requiring tens of qubits to 2-qubit circuits, thus reducing the noise in quantum measurements. Calculations in multi-particle systems with many-body interactions would benefit from this reduction of qubits in noisy quantum processors.

Radiative processes on a quantum computer

Radiative processes, where a photon/neutrino is emitted as a result of a collision or decay of a particle, play a central role in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. Their rate is determined by certain off-diagonal matrix elements with different initial and final states. We propose a method to compute them using quantum computers. It relies on a single extra qubit that, in a certain sense, represents the photon/neutrino. The generic formula relating this matrix element to the amplitude and frequency of oscillations of the extra qubit follows simply in the near resonance case. We demonstrate the feasibility of the method by using it in actual quantum computations and simulations of simple systems.
