Quantum systems engineering

Abstract:

We propose a non-linear, hybrid quantum-classical scheme for simulating non-equilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated fermions described by the Hubbard model in a Bethe lattice in the thermodynamic limit. Our scheme implements non-equilibrium dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and uses a digital quantum simulator to solve a quantum impurity problem whose parameters are iterated to self-consistency via a classically computed feedback loop where quantum gate errors can be partly accounted for. We analyse the performance of the scheme in an example case.

Abstract:

Resonant excitation of local molecular vibrations at mid-infrared wavelengths is shown to induce a transient superconducting state in the organic superconductor K3C60 for temperatures far above the equilibrium critical temperature.
