Zero-level $CCZ$ Distillation

Magic state distillation is a key component of fault-tolerant quantum computation, as it enables the implementation of non-Clifford gates such as the $T$ gate and the $CCZ$ gate via gate teleportation. However, conventional distillation protocols require a large number of logical qubits and introduce substantial spatial and temporal overhead, posing a significant bottleneck for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work, we propose a zero-level distillation protocol that efficiently generates a high-fidelity logical $CCZ$ magic state using only physical qubits on a two-dimensional square lattice with nearest-neighbor interactions. Our method leverages the transversal $T/T^\dagger$ operation of the $[[ 8,3,2 ]]$ code to fault-tolerantly encode the state $\overline{CCZ}|+++\rangle$, which is subsequently teleported to three surface-code logical qubits via lattice surgery. To enable teleportation between codes with different distances, we introduce adaptively initialized teleportation (AIT), a tailored initialization procedure for the surface code. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the logical error rate scales as $p_L \simeq 300 \times p^2$ with respect to the physical error rate $p$. For example, the proposed method improves the logical error rate by approximately one and two orders of magnitude at $p = 10^{-3}$ and $p = 10^{-4}$, respectively, compared to conventional seven-$T$-gate approaches. The distillation circuit requires only 22 physical qubits, 3 logical qubits, and a circuit depth of 24, reducing the space-time overhead by a factor of approximately 5-10 compared to previous methods. This result highlights the practicality of $CCZ$-state distillation in early fault-tolerant quantum computation and offers a new direction toward resource-efficient physical-level magic state distillation beyond conventional $T$-state generation.

Runtime reduction in lattice surgery utilizing time-like soft information

Runtime optimization of the quantum computing within a given computational resource is important to achieve practical quantum advantage. In this paper, we propose a runtime reduction protocol for the lattice surgery, which utilizes the soft information corresponding to the logical measurement error. Our proposal is a simple two-step protocol: operating the lattice surgery with the small number of syndrome measurement cycles, and reexecuting it with full syndrome measurement cycles in cases where the time-like soft information catches logical error symptoms. We firstly discuss basic features of the time-like complementary gap as the concrete example of the time-like soft information based on numerical results. Then, we show that our protocol surpasses the existing runtime reduction protocol called temporally encoded lattice surgery (TELS) for the most cases. In addition, we confirm that the combination of our protocol and the TELS protocol can reduce the runtime further, over 50% in comparison to the naive serial execution of the lattice surgery. The proposed protocol in this paper can be applied to any quantum computing architecture based on the lattice surgery, and we expect that this will be one of the fundamental building blocks of runtime optimization to achieve practical scale quantum computing.

Compilation of Trotter-Based Time Evolution for Partially Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing Architecture

Achieving practical quantum speedup with limited resources is a crucial challenge in both academic and industrial communities. To address this, a partially fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture called ``space-time efficient analog rotation quantum computing architecture (STAR architecture)'' has been recently proposed. This architecture focuses on minimizing resource requirements while maximizing the precision of non-Clifford gates, essential for universal quantum computation. However, non-deterministic processes such as the repeat-until-success (RUS) protocol and state injection can introduce significant computational overhead. Therefore, optimizing the logical circuit to minimize this overhead by using efficient fault-tolerant operations is essential. This paper presents an efficient method for simulating the time evolution of the 2D Hubbard model Hamiltonian, a promising application of the STAR architecture. We present two techniques, parallel injection protocol and adaptive injection region updating, to reduce unnecessary time overhead specific to our architecture. By integrating these with the existing fSWAP technique, we develop an efficient Trotter-based time evolution operation for the 2D Hubbard model. Our analysis reveals an acceleration of over 10 times compared to naive serial compilation. This optimized compilation enables us to estimate the computational resources required for quantum phase estimation of the 2D Hubbard model. For devices with a physical error rate of $p_{\rm phys} = 10^{-4}$, we estimate that approximately $6.5 \times 10^4$ physical qubits are required to achieve faster ground state energy estimation of the $8\times8$ Hubbard model compared to classical computation.

Practical quantum advantage on partially fault-tolerant quantum computer

Achieving quantum speedups in practical tasks remains challenging for current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. These devices always encounter significant obstacles such as inevitable physical errors and the limited scalability of current near-term algorithms. Meanwhile, assuming a typical architecture for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC), realistic applications inevitably require a vast number of qubits, typically exceeding $10^6$, which seems far beyond near-term realization. In this work, to bridge the gap between the NISQ and FTQC eras, we propose an alternative approach to achieve practical quantum advantages on early-FTQC devices. Our framework is based on partially fault-tolerant logical operations to minimize spatial overhead and avoids the costly distillation techniques typically required for executing non-Clifford gates. To this end, we develop a space-time efficient state preparation protocol to generate an ancillary non-Clifford state consumed for implementing an analog rotation gate with an arbitrary small angle $θ$ and a remarkably low worst-case error rate below $\mathcal{O}(|θ| p_{\text{ph}})$, where $p_{\text{ph}}$ is the physical error rate. Furthermore, we propose several error suppression schemes tailored to our preparation protocol, which are essential to minimize the overhead for mitigating errors. Based on this framework, we present several promising applications that leverage the potential of our framework, including the Trotter simulation and quantum phase estimation (QPE). Notably, we demonstrate that our framework allows us to perform the QPE for $(8\times 8)$-site Hubbard model with fewer than $4.9\times 10^4$ qubits and an execution time of 9 days (or 12 minutes with full parallelization) under $p_{\text{ph}}=10^{-4}$, which is significantly faster than recent classical estimation with tensor network techniques (DMRG and PEPS).

Lattice QCD studies on decuplet baryons as meson-baryon bound states in the HAL QCD method

We study decuplet baryons from meson-baryon interactions in lattice QCD, in particular, $Δ$ and $Ω$ baryons from P-wave $I=3/2$ $Nπ$ and $I=0$ $Ξ\bar{K}$ interactions, respectively. Interaction potentials are calculated in the HAL QCD method using 3-quark-type source operators at $m_π \approx 410~\textrm{MeV}$ and $m_{K} \approx 635~\textrm{MeV}$, where $Δ$ as well as $Ω$ baryons are stable. We use the conventional stochastic estimate of all-to-all propagators combined with the all-mode averaging to reduce statistical fluctuations. We have found that the $Ξ\bar K$ system has a weaker attraction than the $Nπ$ system while the binding energy from the threshold is larger for $Ω$ than $Δ$. This suggests that an inequality $m_{N}+m_π-m_Δ<m_Ξ+m_{\bar K}-m_Ω$ comes mainly from a smaller spatial size of a $Ξ\bar K$ bound state due to a larger reduced mass, rather than its interaction. Root-mean-square distances of bound states in both systems are small, indicating that $Δ$ and $Ω$ are tightly bound states and thus can be regarded qualitatively as composite states of 3 quarks. Results of binding energies agree with those obtained from temporal 2-point functions within large systematic errors, which arise dominantly from the lattice artifact at short distances.

Partially Fault-tolerant Quantum Computing Architecture with Error-corrected Clifford Gates and Space-time Efficient Analog Rotations

Quantum computers are expected to bring drastic acceleration to several computing tasks against classical computers. Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, which have tens to hundreds of noisy physical qubits, are gradually becoming available, but it is still challenging to achieve useful quantum advantages in meaningful tasks at this moment. On the other hand, the full fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) based on the quantum error correction (QEC) code remains far beyond realization due to its extremely large requirement of high-precision physical qubits. In this study, we propose a quantum computing architecture to close the gap between NISQ and FTQC. Our architecture is based on erroneous arbitrary rotation gates and error-corrected Clifford gates implemented by lattice surgery. We omit the typical distillation protocol to achieve direct analog rotations and small qubit requirements, and minimize the remnant errors of the rotations by a carefully-designed state injection protocol. Our estimation based on numerical simulations shows that, for early-FTQC devices that consist of $10^4$ physical qubits with physical error probability $p = 10^{-4}$, we can perform roughly $1.72 \times 10^7$ Clifford operations and $3.75 \times 10^4$ arbitrary rotations on 64 logical qubits. Such computations cannot be realized by the existing NISQ and FTQC architectures on the same device, as well as classical computers. We hope that our proposal and the corresponding development of quantum algorithms based on it bring new insights on realization of practical quantum computers in future.

Interaction potentials for two-particle states with non-zero total momenta in lattice QCD

In this study, we extend the HAL QCD method to a case where a total momentum of a two-particle system is non-zero and apply it to the $I=2$ S-wave $ππ$ scattering in order to confirm its validity. We derive a fundamental relation of an energy-independent non-local potential defined in the center of mass frame with NBS wave functions in a laboratory frame. Based on the relation, we propose the time-dependent method to extract potentials, often used in practice for the HALQCD method in the center of mass frame. For numerical simulations in the $I=2$ $ππ$ system, we employ (2+1)-flavor gauge configurations on a $32^3 \times 64$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.0907$ fm and $m_π \approx 700$ MeV. Both effective leading order (LO) potentials and corresponding phase shifts obtained in laboratory frames agree with those obtained in the center-of-mass frame by the conventional HAL QCD method within somewhat larger statistical errors. In addition, we observe a consistency in scattering phase shifts between ours and results by the finite-volume method as well. The HAL QCD method with non-zero total momenta, established in this study, brings more flexibility to the HAL QCD method, which enables us to handle systems having the same quantum numbers with a vacuum or to access energy regions prohibited in the center of mass frame.

Nuclear force with LapH smearing

The nuclear forces are determined by combining the HAL QCD method and a new type of source smearing technique. The new smearing is a projection to a space spanned by the lowest-lying eigenvectors of the free Laplacian operator on a lattice, which enables efficient calculation of hadron correlators at an affordable cost by utilizing the hadron-level momentum conservations. We find that this new approach reduces the statistical and systematic errors in the resultant nuclear forces.

HAL QCD potentials with non-zero total momentum and an application to the $I=2$ $ππ$ scattering

We consider the HAL QCD method in the system with non-zero total momentum (laboratory frame). We derive a relation between the NBS wave function in the laboratory frame and the energy-independent non-local potential (HAL QCD potential), and propose the time-dependent method to extract the potential from correlation functions in the laboratory frame. We then apply this formulation to the $I=2$ $ππ$ system to calculate the corresponding potential in the laboratory frame, employing the 2+1 flavor gauge configuration on a $32^3\times 64$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a\simeq 0.091$ fm and $m_π\simeq 700$ MeV. While statistical errors are larger, the effective leading order (LO) potentials and corresponding phase shift agree with those from the HAL QCD potential in the center of mass (CM) frame. We also demonstrate the consistency in scattering phase shifts between the HAL QCD method in several frames and the finite volume method. The HAL QCD method in the laboratory frame enlarges applicabilities of the method to investigate hadron interaction including mesonic resonances such as $ρ$ and $σ$.

Emergence of the rho resonance from the HAL QCD potential

In this article, we report the $ρ$ resonance study using the HAL QCD method. We calculate the $I=1$ $ππ$ potential at $m_π \approx 0.41$ GeV by a combination of the one-end trick, sequential propagator and covariant approximation averaging (CAA). Thanks to those techniques, we determine the non-local $I=1$ $ππ$ potential at the next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO) of the derivative expansion for the first time and obtain the pole of the S-matrix corresponding to the $ρ$ resonance. We also discuss the comparison between our result and a previous calculation, done by Lüscher's method.

Investigations of decuplet baryons from meson-baryon interactions in the HAL QCD method

We study decuplet baryons from meson-baryon interactions, in particular, $Δ$ and $Ω$ baryons from P-wave $I=3/2$ $Nπ$ and $I=0$ $Ξ\bar{K}$ interactions, respectively. The interaction potentials are calculated in the HAL QCD method using 3-quark-type source operators at $m_π \approx 410~\textrm{MeV}$. We use the conventional stochastic estimation of all-to-all propagators combined with the all-mode averaging to reduce statistical fluctuations. We have found that two potentials have quite similar behaviors, suggesting that a mass difference between $Δ$ and $Ω$ comes mainly from a difference of kinematical structure between $Nπ$ and $Ξ\bar K$, rather than their interactions. The scattering phase shifts calculated from the potentials indicate that $Δ$ and $Ω$ baryons exist as bound states in this lattice setup, whose binding energies are consistent with those obtained from 2-point functions.

General purpose lattice QCD code set Bridge++ 2.0 for high performance computing

Bridge++ is a general-purpose code set for a numerical simulation of lattice QCD aiming at a readable, extensible, and portable code while keeping practically high performance. The previous version of Bridge++ is implemented in double precision with a fixed data layout. To exploit the high arithmetic capability of new processor architecture, we extend the Bridge++ code so that optimized code is available as a new branch, i.e., an alternative to the original code. This paper explains our strategy of implementation and displays application examples to the following architectures and systems: Intel AVX-512 on Xeon Phi Knights Landing, Arm A64FX-SVE on Fujitsu A64FX (Fugaku), NEC SX-Aurora TSUBASA, and GPU cluster with NVIDIA V100.

Emergence of the $ρ$ resonance from the HAL QCD potential in lattice QCD

We investigate the $I=1$ $ππ$ interaction using the HAL QCD method in lattice QCD. We employ the (2+1)-flavor gauge configurations on $32^3 \times 64$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.0907$ fm and $m_π \approx 411$ MeV, in which the $ρ$ meson appears as a resonance state. We find that all-to-all propagators necessary in this calculation can be obtained with reasonable precision by a combination of three techniques, the one-end trick, the sequential propagator, and the covariant approximation averaging (CAA). The non-local $I=1$ $ππ$ potential is determined at the next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO) of the derivative expansion for the first time, and the resonance parameters of the $ρ$ meson are extracted. The obtained $ρ$ meson mass is found to be consistent with the value in the literature, while the value of the coupling $g_{ρππ}$ turns out to be somewhat larger. The latter observation is most likely attributed to the lack of low-energy information in our lattice setup with the center-of-mass frame. Such a limitation may appear in other P-wave resonant systems and we discuss possible improvement in future. With this caution in mind, we positively conclude that we can reasonably extract the N$^2$LO potential and resonance parameters even in the system requiring the all-to-all propagators in the HAL QCD method, which opens up new possibilities for the study of resonances in lattice QCD.

S-wave kaon-nucleon potentials with all-to-all propagators in the HAL QCD method

In this paper, employing an all-to-all quark propagator technique, we investigate the kaon-nucleon interactions in lattice QCD. We calculate the S-wave kaon-nucleon potentials at the leading order in the derivative expansion in the time-dependent HAL QCD method, using (2+1)-flavor gauge configurations at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.09$ fm on $32^3 \times 64$ lattices and the pion mass $m_π \approx 570$ MeV. We take the one-end trick for all-to-all propagators, which allows us to put the zero momentum hadron operators at both source and sink and to smear quark operators at the source. We find the stronger repulsive interaction in the $I=1$ channel than in the $I=0$. The phase shifts obtained by solving the Schrödinger equations with the potentials qualitatively reproduce the energy dependence of the experimental phase shifts, and have the similar behavior to the previous results from lattice QCD without all-to-all propagators. Our study demonstrates that the all-to-all quark propagator technique with the one-end trick is useful to study interactions for meson-baryon systems in the HAL QCD method, so that we will apply it to meson-baryon systems which contain quark-antiquark creation/annihilation processes in our future studies.

Partial wave decomposition on the lattice and its applications to the HAL QCD method

The approximated partial wave decomposition method to the discrete data on a cubic lattice, developed by C. W. Misner, is applied to the calculation of $S$-wave hadron-hadron scatterings by the HAL QCD method in lattice QCD. We consider the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave function for the spin-singlet $Λ_c N$ system calculated in the $(2+1)$-flavor QCD on a $(32a~\mathrm{fm})^3$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a\simeq0.0907$ fm and $m_π\simeq 700$ MeV. We find that the $l=0$ component can be successfully extracted by Misner's method from the NBS wave function projected to $A_1^+$ representation of the cubic group, which contains small $l\ge 4$ components. Furthermore, while the higher partial wave components are enhanced so as to produce significant comb-like structures in the conventional HAL QCD potential if the Laplacian approximated by the usual second order difference is applied to the NBS wave function, such structures are found to be absent in the potential extracted by Misner's method, where the Laplacian can be evaluated analytically for each partial wave component. Despite the difference in the potentials, two methods give almost identical results on the central values and on the magnitude of statistical errors for the fits of the potentials, and consequently on the scattering phase shifts. This indicates not only that Misner's method works well in lattice QCD with the HAL QCD method but also that the contaminations from higher partial waves in the study of $S$-wave scatterings are well under control even in the conventional HAL QCD method. It will be of interest to study interactions in higher partial wave channels in the HAL QCD method with Misner's decomposition, where the utility of this new technique may become clearer.

The HAL QCD potential in $I=1$ $ππ$ system with the $ρ$ meson bound state

In this paper, we investigate the HAL QCD potential in the $I=1$ $ππ$ scattering using the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, in which a propagator is approximated by low-eigenmodes and the remaining high-eigenmode part is stochastically estimated. To verify the applicability of the hybrid method to systems containing quark creation$/$annihilation contributions such as the $ρ$ meson, we calculate the $I=1$ $ππ$ potential with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.12$ fm and $(m_π,m_ρ) \approx (870, 1230)$ MeV, in which the $ρ$ meson appears as a deeply-bound state. While we find that the naive stochastic evaluations for quark creation$/$annihilation contributions lead to extremely large statistical fluctuations, additional noise reduction methods enable us to obtain a sufficiently precise potential, which shows a strong attractive force. We also confirm that the binding energy and $k^3 \cot δ$ obtained from our potential are roughly consistent with an existing $ρ$ meson bound state, within a large systematic error associated with our calculation, whose possible origin is also discussed.

Study of the pion-pion scatterings with a combination of all-to-all propagators and the HAL QCD method

In this paper, we report recent developments of the HAL QCD method for two hadron systems which contain quark annihilation processes using all-to-all quark propagators. We employ the hybrid method for all-to-all propagators, which combines a low-mode spectral decomposition of the quark propagator and stochastic estimators for remaining high modes, to evaluate the HAL QCD potentials for the first time. Using this method, we investigate the $I= 1,2$ $ππ$ scatterings at $m_π \approx 870$ MeV. In the $I=2$ study, we study how statistical fluctuations of the HAL QCD potentials are increased due to stochastic estimators in the hybrid method, compared with the conventional one without them. We find that we can reduce statistical fluctuations by dilutions of stochastic noises in order to obtain sufficiently precise results, which turn out to be consistent with conventional results without all-to-all propagators. In the $I=1$ $ππ$ case, which contains quark annihilation processes, we find that statistical fluctuations are further enhanced due to noise contaminations in annihilation processes. We, however, confirm that we can also reduce such statistical fluctuations to obtain the potential with a reasonable precision as long as we further increase a degree of dilutions at a price of large numerical costs and take an appropriate scheme for the potential.

$I=2$ $ππ$ potential in the HAL QCD method with all-to-all propagators

In this paper, we perform the first application of the hybrid method (exact low modes plus stochastically estimated high modes) for all-to-all propagators to the HAL QCD method. We calculate the HAL QCD potentials in the $I=2$ $ππ$ scattering in order to see how statistical fluctuations of the potential behave under the hybrid method. All of the calculations are performed with the 2+1 flavor gauge configurations on $16^3 \times 32$ lattice at the lattice spacing $a \approx 0.12$ fm and $m_π \approx 870$ MeV. It is revealed that statistical errors for the potential are enhanced by stochastic noises introduced by the hybrid method, which, however, are shown to be reduced by increasing the level of dilutions, in particular, that of space dilutions. From systematic studies, we obtain a guiding principle for a choice of dilution types/levels and a number of eigenvectors to reduce noise contaminations to the potential while keeping numerical costs reasonable. We also confirm that we can obtain the scattering phase shifts for the $I=2$ $ππ$ system by the hybrid method within a reasonable numerical cost, which are consistent with the result obtained with the conventional method. The knowledge we obtain in this study will become useful to investigate hadron resonances which require quark annihilation diagrams such as the $ρ$ meson by the HAL QCD potential with the hybrid method.
