Shortcuts to Adiabaticity in the Infinite-Range Ising Model by Mean-Field Counter-Diabatic Driving

Abstract

The strategy of shortcuts to adiabaticity enables us to realize adiabatic dynamics in finite time. In the counter-diabatic driving approach, an auxiliary Hamiltonian which is called the counter-diabatic Hamiltonian is appended to an original Hamiltonian to cancel out diabatic transitions. The counter-diabatic Hamiltonian is constructed by using the eigenstates of the original Hamiltonian. Therefore, it is in general difficult to construct the counter-diabatic Hamiltonian for quantum many-body systems. Even if the counter-diabatic Hamiltonian for quantum many-body systems is obtained, it is generally non-local and even diverges at critical points. We construct an approximated counter-diabatic Hamiltonian for the infinite-range Ising model by making use of the mean-field approximation. An advantage of this method is that the mean-field counter-diabatic Hamiltonian is constructed by only local operators. We numerically demonstrate the effectiveness of this method through quantum annealing processes going the vicinity of the critical point. It is also confirmed that the mean-field counter-diabatic Hamiltonian is still well-defined in the limit to the critical point. The present method can take higher order contributions into account and is consistent with the variational approach for local counter-diabatic driving.

A general method to construct mean field counter diabatic driving for a ground state search

Hayasaka, Hiroshi, Takashi Imoto, Yuichiro Matsuzaki +1 more

The counter diabatic (CD) driving has attracted much attention for suppressing non-adiabatic transition in quantum annealing (QA). However, it can be intractable to construct the CD driving in the actual experimental setup due to the non-locality of the CD dariving Hamiltonian and necessity of exact diagonalization of the QA Hamiltonian in advance. In this paper, using the mean field (MF) theory, we propose a general method to construct an approximated CD driving term consisting of local operators. We can efficiently construct the MF approximated CD (MFCD) term by solving the MF dynamics of magnetization using a classical computer. As an example, we numerically perform QA with MFCD driving for the spin glass model with transverse magnetic fields. We numerically show that the MF dynamics with MFCD driving is equivalent to the solution of the self-consistent equation in MF theory. Also, we clarify that a ground state of the spin glass model with transverse magnetic field can be obtained with high fidelity compared to the conventional QA without the CD driving. Moreover, we experimentally demonstrate our method by using a D-wave quantum annealer and obtain the experimental result supporting our numerical simulation.

Diabatic quantum annealing by counter-diabatic driving

Luise Prielinger, Andreas Hartmann, Yu Yamashiro +3 more

We introduce a two-parameter approximate counter-diabatic term into the Hamiltonian of the transverse-field Ising model for quantum annealing to accelerate convergence to the solution, generalizing an existing single-parameter approach. The protocol is equivalent to unconventional diabatic control of the longitudinal and transverse fields in the transverse-field Ising model and thus makes it more feasible for experimental realization than an introduction of new terms such as non-stoquastic catalysts toward the same goal of performance enhancement. We test the idea for the $p$-spin model with $p=3$, which has a first-order quantum phase transition, and show that our two-parameter approach leads to significantly larger ground-state fidelity and lower residual energy than those by traditional quantum annealing as well as by the single-parameter method. We also find a scaling advantage in terms of the time to solution as a function of the system size in a certain range of parameters as compared to the traditional methods.

Generalized shortcuts to adiabaticity and enhanced robustness against decoherence

Alan C. Santos, M. S. Sarandy

Abstract Shortcuts to adiabaticity provide a general approach to mimic adiabatic quantum processes via arbitrarily fast evolutions in Hilbert space. For these counter-diabatic evolutions, higher speed comes at higher energy cost. Here, the counter-diabatic theory is employed as a minimal energy demanding scheme for speeding up adiabatic tasks. As a by-product, we show that this approach can be used to obtain infinite classes of transitionless models, including time-independent Hamiltonians under certain conditions over the eigenstates of the original Hamiltonian. We apply these results to investigate shortcuts to adiabaticity in decohering environments by introducing the requirement of a fixed energy resource. In this scenario, we show that generalized transitionless evolutions can be more robust against decoherence than their adiabatic counterparts. We illustrate this enhanced robustness both for the Landau–Zener model and for quantum gate Hamiltonians.

Rapid counter-diabatic sweeps in lattice gauge adiabatic quantum computing

We present a coherent counter-diabatic quantum protocol to prepare ground states in the lattice gauge mapping of all-to-all Ising models (LHZ) with considerably enhanced final ground state fidelity compared to a quantum annealing protocol.We make use of a variational method to find approximate counter-diabatic Hamiltonians that has recently been introduced by Sels and Polkovnikov (2017 Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.114 3909).The resulting additional terms in our protocol are time-dependent local onsite y-magnetic fields.These additional Hamiltonian terms do not increase the minimal energy gap, but instead compensate for the Berry curvature.A single free parameter is introduced which is optimized via classical updates.The protocol consists only of local and nearest-neighbor terms which makes it attractive for implementation in near term experiments.

Exploring ground states of Fermi-Hubbard model on honeycomb lattices with counterdiabaticity

Jialiang Tang, Ruoqian Xu, Yongcheng Ding +6 more

Exploring the ground state properties of many-body quantum systems conventionally involves adiabatic processes, alongside exact diagonalization, in the context of quantum annealing or adiabatic quantum computation. Shortcuts to adiabaticity by counter-diabatic driving serve to accelerate these processes by suppressing energy excitations. Motivated by this, we develop variational quantum algorithms incorporating the auxiliary counter-diabatic interactions, comparing them with digitized adiabatic algorithms. These algorithms are then implemented on gate-based quantum circuits to explore the ground states of the Fermi-Hubbard model on honeycomb lattices, utilizing systems with up to 26 qubits. The comparison reveals that the counter-diabatic inspired ansatz is superior to traditional Hamiltonian variational ansatz. Furthermore, the number and duration of Trotter steps are analyzed to understand and mitigate errors. Given the model’s relevance to materials in condensed matter, our study paves the way for using variational quantum algorithms with counterdiabaticity to explore quantum materials in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era.
