Fast-forwardability of Qubit-mapped Fermion models based on Cartan decomposition

We study the Hamiltonian algebra of qubit-mapped interacting fermion models and their fast-forwardability. We prove that the dimension of the Hamiltonian algebra of the fermion model with single-site Coulomb interaction is bounded from below by the exponential function of the number of sites, and the circuit depth of the Cartan-based fast-forwarding method for such a model also exhibits the same scaling. We apply this proposition to the Anderson impurity model and the Hubbard model and show that the dimension of the Hamiltonian algebra of these models scales exponentially with the number of sites. These behaviors of the Hamiltonian algebras imply that, under fermion-qubit mappings that map Majorana operators to single-term Pauli strings, the qubit models obtained from these fermion models cannot be efficiently simulated using the Cartan-based fast-forwarding method.

Fixing Divergence in Carleman Linearization via Analytical Continuation

Nonlinear differential equations play a crucial role in modeling a wide range of phenomena, yet their solutions remain notoriously difficult to obtain. With the rapid development of quantum computing, quantum algorithms for efficiently solving such equations are actively being explored. One promising approach is based on Carleman linearization, which transforms nonlinear differential equations into linear systems. However, this method suffers from exponential divergence beyond a certain time scale. By reformulating the solutions in terms of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, we identify that this divergence originates from the Laurent expansion outside its neighborhood of convergence. To address this issue, we insert a regularized function to the divergent solution hinted by analytical continuation. We validate this divergence-correction method on both the logistic equation and some other partial differential equations like KPP-Fisher equations and Phase-Field models under periodic conditions. We implement our method for the logistic equation using the Linear Combination of Unitaries (LCU) quantum algorithm, providing a detailed complexity and error analysis.

On the validity of the complex Langevin method near the deconfining phase transition in QCD at finite density

In our previous paper [JHEP 10 (2020) 144], we found that the complex Langevin (CL) method works for QCD at finite density on the $16^3 \times 32$ lattice in the low-temperature high-density regime within the range $μ/ T = 1.6 - 9.6$ with $μ$ and $T$ being the quark chemical potential and the temperature, which enabled us to see a clear trend towards the formation of the Fermi sphere. Here we investigate the validity of the CL method on the $24^3 \times 12$ lattice in the deconfined phase near the deconfinement phase transition. As before, we use four-flavor staggered fermions and judge the validity using the criterion based on the probability distribution of the drift term. The spatial extent is $L = (1.3 - 2.7 {\rm ~fm} )> Λ_{\rm LQCD}^{-1} \sim 1{\rm ~fm}$, in contrast to our previous study with $L < Λ_{\rm LQCD}^{-1}$. We find that the CL method works in a broad region up to $μ/ T = 4.8$, while it starts to fail as we approach the phase boundary due to the singular drift problem, which can be understood qualitatively by extending the Banks-Casher relation to the case at finite density.

Quantum many-body simulation of finite-temperature systems with sampling a series expansion of a quantum imaginary-time evolution

Simulating thermal-equilibrium properties at finite temperature is crucial for studying quantum many-body systems. Quantum computers are expected to enable us to simulate large systems at finite temperatures, overcoming challenges faced by classical computers, like the sign problem of the quantum Monte-Carlo technique. Conventional methods suitable for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) devices are designed for studying large-scale quantum many-body systems but require a large number of ancilla qubits and a deep quantum circuit with many basic gates, making them unsuitable for the early stage of the FTQC era, at which the availability of qubits and quantum gates is limited. In this paper, we propose a method suitable for quantum devices in this early stage to calculate the thermal-equilibrium expectation value of an observable at finite temperatures. Our proposal, named the Markov-chain Monte Carlo with sampled pairs of unitaries (MCMC-SPU) algorithm, involves sampling simple quantum circuits and generating the corresponding statistical ensembles. This approach addresses the issues of resource demand and the decay in probability associated with postselection of measurement outcomes on ancilla qubits. We validate our proposal with numerical simulation on the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model as an illustrative example.

Quantum expectation value estimation by doubling the number of qubits

Expectation value estimation is ubiquitous in quantum algorithms. The expectation value of a Hamiltonian, which is essential in various practical applications, is often estimated by measuring a large number of Pauli strings on quantum computers and performing classical post-processing. In the case of $n$-qubit molecular Hamiltonians in quantum chemistry calculations, it is necessary to evaluate $O(n^4)$ Pauli strings, requiring a large number of measurements for accurate estimation. To reduce the measurement cost, we assess an existing idea that uses two copies of an $n$-qubit quantum state of interest and coherently measures them in the Bell basis, which enables the simultaneous estimation of the absolute values of expectation values of all the $n$-qubit Pauli strings. We numerically investigate the efficiency of energy estimation for molecular Hamiltonians of up to 12 qubits. The results show that, when the target precision is no smaller than tens of milli-Hartree, this method requires fewer measurements than conventional sampling methods. This suggests that the method may be useful for many applications that rely on expectation value estimation of Hamiltonians and other observables as well when moderate precision is sufficient.

Subspace-Based Local Compilation of Variational Quantum Circuits for Large-Scale Quantum Many-Body Simulation

Simulation of quantum many-body systems is a promising application of quantum computers. However, implementing the time-evolution operator as a quantum circuit efficiently on near-term devices with limited resources is challenging. Standard approaches like Trotterization often require deep circuits, making them impractical. This paper proposes a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm called Local Subspace Variational Quantum Compilation (LSVQC) for compiling the time-evolution operator. The LSVQC uses variational optimization to reproduce the action of the target time-evolution operator within a physically reasonable subspace. Optimization is performed on small local subsystems based on the Lieb-Robinson bound, allowing for cost function evaluation using small-scale quantum devices or classical computers. Numerical simulations on a spin-lattice model and an $\mathit{\text{ab initio}}$ effective model of strongly correlated material Sr$_2$CuO$_3$ demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness. It is shown that the LSVQC achieves a 95% reduction in circuit depth compared to Trotterization while maintaining accuracy. The subspace restriction also reduces resource requirements and improves accuracy. Furthermore, we estimate the gate count needed to execute the quantum simulations using the LSVQC on near-term quantum computing architectures in the noisy intermediate-scale or early fault-tolerant quantum computing era. Our estimation suggests that the acceptable physical gate error rate for the LSVQC can be significantly larger than for Trotterization.

Bias-preserving computation with the bit-flip code

We explore the feasibility of fault-tolerant quantum computation using the bit-flip repetition code in a biased noise channel where only the bit-flip error can occur. While several logic gates can potentially produce phase-flip errors even in such a channel, we propose bias-preserving implementation of $S$, $H$, $\mathrm{CZ}$, and $R_z$ gates. We demonstrate that our scheme improves the computational precision in several tasks such as the time evolution of quantum systems and variational quantum eigensolver.

Computation of Green's function by local variational quantum compilation

Computation of the Green's function is crucial to study the properties of quantum many-body systems such as strongly correlated systems. Although the high-precision calculation of the Green's function is a notoriously challenging task on classical computers, the development of quantum computers may enable us to compute the Green's function with high accuracy even for classically-intractable large-scale systems. Here, we propose an efficient method to compute the real-time Green's function based on the local variational quantum compilation (LVQC) algorithm, which simulates the time evolution of a large-scale quantum system using a low-depth quantum circuit constructed through optimization on a smaller-size subsystem. Our method requires shallow quantum circuits to calculate the Green's function and can be utilized on both near-term noisy intermediate-scale and long-term fault-tolerant quantum computers depending on the computational resources we have. We perform a numerical simulation of the Green's function for the one- and two-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model up to $4\times4$ sites lattice (32 qubits) and demonstrate the validity of our protocol compared to a standard method based on the Trotter decomposition. We finally present a detailed estimation of the gate count for the large-scale Fermi-Hubbard model, which also illustrates the advantage of our method over the Trotter decomposition.

Color superconductivity on the lattice -- analytic predictions from QCD in a small box

We investigate color superconductivity on the lattice using the gap equation for the Cooper pair condensate. The weak coupling analysis is justified by choosing the physical size of the lattice to be smaller than the QCD scale, while keeping the aspect ratio of the lattice small enough to suppress thermal excitations. In the vicinity of the critical coupling constant that separates the superconducting phase and the normal phase, the gap equation can be linearized, and by solving the corresponding eigenvalue problem, we obtain the critical point and the Cooper pair condensate without assuming its explicit form. The momentum components of the condensate suggest spatially isotropic s-wave superconductivity with Cooper pairs formed by quarks near the Fermi surface. The chiral symmetry in the massless limit is spontaneously broken by the Cooper pair condensate, which turns out to be dominated by the scalar and the pseudo-scalar components. Our results provide useful predictions, in particular, for future lattice simulations based on methods to overcome the sign problem such as the complex Langevin method.

Density-Induced Hadron-Quark Crossover via the Formation of Cooper Triples

We discuss the hadron--quark crossover accompanied by the formation of Cooper triples (three-body counterpart of Cooper pairs) by analogy with the Bose--Einstein condensate to Bardeen--Cooper--Schrieffer crossover in two-component fermionic systems. Such a crossover is different from a phase transition, which often involves symmetry breaking. We calculate the in-medium three-body energy from the three-body $T$-matrix with a phenomenological three-body force characterizing a bound hadronic state in vacuum. With increasing density, the hadronic bound-state pole smoothly undergoes a crossover toward the Cooper triple phase where the in-medium three-body clusters coexist with the quark Fermi sea. The relation to the quarkyonic matter model can also be found in a natural manner.

Color superconductivity in a small box: a complex Langevin study

It is expected that the color superconductivity (CSC) phase appears in QCD at low temperature and high density. On the basis of the lattice perturbation theory, a possible parameter region in which the CSC occurs has been predicted. In this work, we perform complex Langevin simulation on an $8^3\times 128$ lattice using four-flavor staggered fermions. We find, in particular, that the quark number has plateaux with respect to the chemical potential similar to our previous study, indicating the formation of the Fermi sphere. A diquark-antidiquark operator, which is an order parameter of color superconductivity, is formulated on the lattice using the U(1) noise. Our result for this operator is found to fluctuate violently when the Fermi surface coincides with the energy levels of quarks. We also discuss partial restoration of the chiral symmetry at high density.

Flavor number dependence of QCD at finite density by the complex Langevin method

We discuss the flavor number dependence of QCD at low temperature and high density by the complex Langevin method. In our previous work, the complex Langevin method is confirmed to satisfy the criterion for correct convergence in certain regions, such as $μ_{\rm q} / T = 5.2-7.2$ on $8^3 \times 16$ and $μ_{\rm q} / T = 1.6-9.6$ on $16^3 \times 32$ using $N_{\rm f} = 4$ staggered fermion at $β= 5.7$. We extend this study to more realistic flavor cases, $N_{\rm f} = 2, 2 + 1, 3$, using Wilson fermions. We present the flavor number dependence of the validity regions of the complex Langevin method and the quark number.

Perturbative predictions for color superconductivity on the lattice

We develop a new method to investigate color superconductivity (CSC) on the lattice based on the Thouless criterion, which amounts to solving the linearized gap equation without imposing any ansatz on the structure of the Cooper pairs. We perform explicit calculations at the one-loop level with the staggered fermions on a $8^3 \times 128$ lattice and the Wilson fermions on a $4^3 \times 128$ lattice, which enables us to obtain the critical $β(=6/g^2)$ as a function of the quark chemical potential $μ$, below which the CSC phase is expected to appear. The obtained critical $β$ has sharp peaks at the values of $μ$ corresponding to the discretized energy levels of quarks similarly to what was observed in previous studies on simplified effective models. From the solution to the linearized gap equation, one can read off the flavor and spatial structures of the Cooper pairs at the critical $β$. In the case of massless staggered fermion, in particular, we find that the chiral $\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetry of the staggered fermions is spontaneously broken by the condensation of the Cooper pairs.

Cooper Triples in Attractive Three-Component Fermions: Implication for Hadron-Quark Crossover

We investigate many-body properties of equally populated three-component fermions with attractive three-body contact interaction in one dimension. A diagrammatic approach suggests the possible occurrence of Cooper triples at low temperature, which are three-body counterparts of Cooper pairs with a two-body attraction. We develop a minimal framework that bridges the crossover from tightly-bound trimers to Cooper triples with increasing chemical potential and show how the formation of Cooper triples occurs in the grand-canonical phase diagram. Moreover, we argue that this non-trivial crossover is similar to the hadron-quark crossover proposed in dense matter. A coexistence of medium-induced triples and the underlying Fermi sea at positive chemical potential is analogous to quarkyonic matter consisting of baryonic excitations and the underlying quark Fermi sea. The comparison with the existing quantum Monte Carlo results implies that the emergence of these kinds of three-body states can be a microscopic origin of the peak of the sound velocity along the crossover.

Three-body crossover from a Cooper triple to bound trimer state in three-component Fermi gases near a triatomic resonance

We theoretically investigate ground-state properties of a three-component Fermi gas with pairwise contact interactions between different components near a triatomic resonance where bound trimers are about to appear. Using variational equations for in-medium two- and three-body cluster states in three dimensions, we elucidate the competition of pair and triple formations due to the Fermi surface effects. We present the ground-state phase diagram that exhibits transition from a Cooper pair to Cooper triple state and crossover from a Cooper triple to tightly bound trimer state at negative scattering lengths. This three-body crossover is analogous to the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer to Bose-Einstein condensation crossover observed in a two-component Fermi gas. We predict that the threshold scattering length $a_{-}$ for three-body states can be shifted towards the weak-coupling side due to the emergence of Cooper triples.

Quantum hydrodynamics from local thermal pure states

We provide a pure state formulation for hydrodynamic dynamics of isolated quantum many-body systems. A pure state describing quantum systems in local thermal equilibrium is constructed, which we call a local thermal pure quantum ($\ell$TPQ) state. We show that the thermodynamic functional and the expectation values of local operators (including a real-time correlation function) calculated from the $\ell$TPQ state converge to those from a local Gibbs ensemble in the large fluid-cell limit. As a numerical demonstration, we investigate a one-dimensional spin chain and observe the hydrodynamic relaxation obeying the Fourier's law. We further prove the second law of thermodynamics and the quantum fluctuation theorem, which are also validated numerically. The $\ell$TPQ formulation gives a useful theoretical basis to describe the emergent hydrodynamic behavior of quantum many-body systems furnished with a numerical efficiency, being applicable to both the non-relativistic and relativistic regimes.

Unitary $p$-wave Fermi gas in one dimension

We elucidate universal many-body properties of a one-dimensional, two-component ultracold Fermi gas near the $p$-wave Feshbach resonance. The low-energy scattering in this system can be characterized by two parameters, that is, $p$-wave scattering length and effective range. At the unitarity limit where the $p$-wave scattering length diverges and the effective range is reduced to zero without conflicting with the causality bound, the system obeys universal thermodynamics as observed in a unitary Fermi gas with contact $s$-wave interaction in three dimensions. It is in contrast to a Fermi gas with the $p$-wave resonance in three dimensions in which the effective range is inevitably finite. We present the universal equation of state in this unitary $p$-wave Fermi gas within the many-body $T$-matrix approach as well as the virial expansion method. Moreover, we examine the single-particle spectral function in the high-density regime where the virial expansion is no longer valid. On the basis of the Hartree-like self-energy shift at the divergent scattering length, we conjecture that the equivalence of the Bertsch parameter across spatial dimensions holds even for a one-dimensional unitary $p$-wave Fermi gas.

Complex Langevin study for polarons in an attractively interacting one-dimensional two-component Fermi gas

We investigate a polaronic excitation in a one-dimensional spin-1/2 Fermi gas with contact attractive interactions, using the complex Langevin method, which is a promising approach to evade a possible sign problem in quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We found that the complex Langevin method works correctly in a wide range of temperature, interaction strength, and population imbalance. The Fermi polaron energy extracted from the two-point imaginary Green's function is not sensitive to the temperature and the impurity concentration in the parameter region we considered. Our results show a good agreement with the solution of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz at zero temperature.
