Entanglement entropy scaling of noisy random quantum circuits in two dimensions

Whether noisy quantum devices without error correction can provide quantum advantage over classical computers is a critical issue of current quantum computation. In this work, the random quantum circuits, which are used as the paradigm model to demonstrate quantum advantage, are simulated with depolarizing noise on experiment relevant two-dimensional architecture. With comprehensive numerical simulation and theoretical analysis, we find that the maximum achievable operator entanglement entropy, which indicates maximal simulation cost, has area law scaling with the system size for constant noise rate. On the other hand, we also find that the maximum achievable operator entanglement entropy has power law scaling with the noise rate for fixed system size, and the volume law scaling can be obtained only if the noise rate decreases when system size increase.

Projected entangled pair states study of anisotropic-exchange magnets on triangular lattice

The anisotropic-exchange spin-1/2 model on a triangular lattice has been used to describe the rare-earth chalcogenides, which may have exotic ground states. We investigate the quantum phase diagram of the model by using the projected entangled pair state (PEPS) method, and compare it to the classical phase diagram. Besides two stripe-ordered phase, and the 120$^\circ$ state, there is also a multi-\textbf{Q} phase. We identify the multi-\textbf{Q} phase as a $Z_{2}$ vortex state. No quantum spin liquid state is found in the phase diagram, contrary to the previous DMRG calculations.

Simulation of the Ring-exchange Models with Projected Entangled Pair States

Algorithms to simulate the ring-exchange models using the projected entangled pair states (PEPS) are developed. We generalize the imaginary time evolution (ITE) method to optimize PEPS wave functions for the models with ring-exchange interactions. We compare the effects of different approximations to the environment. To understand the numerical instability during the optimization, we introduce the ``singularity'' of a PEPS and develop a regulation procedure that can effectively reduce the singularity of a PEPS. We benchmark our method with the toric code model, and obtain extremely accurate ground state energies and topological entanglement entropy. We also benchmark our method with the two-dimensional cyclic ring exchange model, and find that the ground state has a strong vector chiral order. The algorithms can be a powerful tool to investigate the models with ring interactions. The methods developed in this work, e.g., the regularization process to reduce the singularity can also be applied to other models.

Origin Pilot: a Quantum Operating System for Effecient Usage of Quantum Resources

The operating system is designed to manage the hardware and software resources of a computer. With the development of quantum computing, the management of quantum resources and cooperation between quantum systems and other computing resources (e.g. CPU, GPU and FPGA etc.) become the key challenge for the application of quantum computing to solve real world problems. In this paper we propose a quantum operating system, Origin Pilot. Origin Pilot includes the module of quantum task scheduling, quantum resource management, quantum program compilation and qubits' automatic calibration. With these modules, Origin Pilot can manage the quantum computing resources and solve the multi-quantum processor scheduling problem. It can also allow the parallel execution of multiple quantum programs and calibrate the quantum resource effectively. Thus, the performance of resources is guaranteed and the resource utilization is improved. By comparing the results with and without Origin Pilot, we evaluate the impact on a quantum circuit's fidelity of qubits mapping algorithm. We also evaluate the effectiveness of automatic calibration and parallel execution of multi-quantum processors. Finally, Origin Pilot can be easily customized for hybrid computing resources.

Gradient optimization of fermionic projected entangled pair states on directed lattices

The recently developed stochastic gradient method combined with Monte Carlo sampling techniques [PRB {\bf 95}, 195154 (2017)] offers a low scaling and accurate method to optimize the projected entangled pair states (PEPS). We extended this method to the fermionic PEPS (fPEPS). To simplify the implementation, we introduce a fermi arrow notation to specify the order of the fermion operators in the virtual entangled EPR pairs. By defining some local operation rules associated with the fermi arrows, one can implement fPEPS algorithms very similar to that of standard PEPS. We benchmark the method for the interacting spinless fermion models, and the t-J models. The numerical calculations show that the gradient optimization greatly improves the results of simple update method. Furthermore, much larger virtual bond dimensions ($D$) and truncation dimensions ($D_c$) than those of boson and spin systems are necessary to converge the results. The method therefore offer a powerful tool to simulate fermion systems because it has much lower scaling than the direct contraction methods.

Gapless spin liquid ground state of spin-1/2 $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on square lattices

The spin-1/2 $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model on square lattices are investigated via the finite projected entangled pair states (PEPS) method. Using the recently developed gradient optimization method combining with Monte Carlo sampling techniques, we are able to obtain the ground states energies that are competitive to the best results. The calculations show that there is no Néel order, dimer order and plaquette order in the region of 0.42 $\lesssim J_2/J_1\lesssim$ 0.6, suggesting a single spin liquid phase in the intermediate region. Furthermore, the calculated staggered spin, dimer and plaquette correlation functions all have power law decay behaviours, which provide strong evidences that the intermediate nonmagnetic phase is a single gapless spin liquid state.

PEPS++: Towards Extreme-scale Simulations of Strongly Correlated Quantum Many-particle Models on Sunway TainhuLight

The study of strongly frustrated magnetic systems has drawn great attentions from both theoretical and experimental physics. Efficient simulations of these models are essential for understanding their exotic properties. Here we present PEPS++, a novel computational paradigm for simulating frustrated magnetic systems and other strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. PEPS++ can accurately solve these models at the extreme scale with low cost and high scalability on modern heterogeneous supercomputers. We implement PEPS++ on Sunway TaihuLight based on a carefully designed tensor computation library for manipulating high-rank tensors and optimize it by invoking various high-performance matrix and tensor operations. By solving a 2D strongly frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ model with over ten million cores, PEPS++ demonstrates the capability of simulating strongly correlated quantum many-body problems at unprecedented scales with accuracy and time-to-solution far beyond the previous state of the art.

TNSPackage: A Fortran2003 library designed for tensor network state methods

Recently, the tensor network states (TNS) methods have proven to be very powerful tools to investigate the strongly correlated many-particle physics in one and two dimensions. The implementation of TNS methods depends heavily on the operations of tensors, including contraction, permutation, reshaping tensors, SVD and son on. Unfortunately, the most popular computer languages for scientific computation, such as Fortran and C/C++ do not have a standard library for such operations, and therefore make the coding of TNS very tedious. We develop a Fortran2003 package that includes all kinds of basic tensor operations designed for TNS. It is user-friendly and flexible for different forms of TNS, and therefore greatly simplifies the coding work for the TNS methods.

Exotic Spin Phases in Two Dimensional Spin-orbit Coupled Models: Importance of Quantum Fluctuation Effects

We investigate the phase diagrams of the effective spin models derived from Fermi-Hubbard and Bose-Hubbard models with Rashba spin-orbit coupling, using string bond states, one of the quantum tensor network states methods. We focus on the role of quantum fluctuation effect in stabilizing the exotic spin phases in these models. For boson systems, and when the ratio between inter-particle and intra-particle interaction $λ> 1$, the out-of-plane ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) phases obtained from quantum simulations are the same to those obtained from classic model. However, the quantum order-by-disorder effect reduces the classical in-plane XY-FM and XY-vortex phases to the quantum X/Y-FM and X/Y-stripe phase when $λ< 1$. The spiral phase and skyrmion phase can be realized in the presence of quantum fluctuation. For the Fermi-Hubbard model, the quantum fluctuation energies are always important in the whole parameter regime. %, which are much larger than those of the Bose model. A general picture to understand the phase diagrams from symmetry point of view is also presented.

Observing Nonclassical Paths by Measuring Bohmian Velocities in Multi-Slit Interferometer with Electron

Superposition principle of wave function in multi-slit interference experiment has been widely accepted by many quantum mechanics textbooks, however the expression ${ψ_{AB}} = {ψ_A} + {ψ_B}$ does not strictly hold. The non-classical paths in Feynman path integral provide an explanation to the multi-path interference effect, and can be used to quantitatively analyse the multi-slit interference effect. In this work, we apply quantities in Bohmian mechanics to the measurement of multi-order interference by analysing the contribution of non-classical paths to Bohmian velocity in electron's multi-slit interferometer. The result shows that the non-classical paths effect will cause a relative deviation of $10^{-3}$ in electron's Bohmian velocity, which is observable by doing weak measurement similar to previous work.

Replica exchange molecular dynamics optimization of tensor network states for quantum many-body systems

The tensor network states (TNS) methods combined with Monte Carlo (MC) techniques have been proved a powerful algorithm for simulating quantum many-body systems. However, because the ground state energy is a highly non-linear function of the tensors, it is easy to get stuck in local minima when optimizing the TNS of the simulated physical systems. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce a replica-exchange molecular dynamics optimization algorithm to obtain the TNS ground state, based on the MC sampling techniques, by mapping the energy function of the TNS to that of a classical dynamical system. The method is expected to effectively avoid local minima. We make benchmark tests on a 1D Hubbard model based on matrix product states (MPS) and a Heisenberg $J_1$-$J_2$ model on square lattice based on string bond states (SBS). The results show that the optimization method is robust and efficient compared to the existing results.

Size consistency of tensor network methods for quantum many-body systems

Recently developed tensor network methods demonstrate great potential for addressing the quantum many-body problem, by constructing variational spaces with polynomially, instead of exponentially, scaled parameters. Constructing such an efficient tensor network, and thus the variational space, is a subtle problem and the main obstacle of the method. We demonstrate the necessity of size consistency in tensor network methods for their success in addressing the quantum many-body problem. We further demonstrate that size consistency is independent of the entanglement criterion, thus providing a general and tight constraint to construct the tensor network method.
