Quixote: Improving Fidelity of Quantum Program by Independent Execution of Controlled Gates

Enhyeok Jang, Seungwoo Choi, Won Woo Ro

NISQ (noisy intermediate-scale quantum) computers are vulnerable to errors, which limit the size of verifiable quantum circuits. For large quantum circuits, it is more difficult to obtain reliable results due to errors. A circuit partitioning approach can improve fidelity by separating and reducing the size of circuits processed at once in NISQ devices. In this paper, we propose Quixote (quantum independent execution architecture), that can execute quantum circuits independently as subcircuits to improve the fidelity of NISQ program results. We present methods for decomposing controlled gates into independent subcircuits and additional techniques for reducing circuit costs through identical gate transformation.NISQ (noisy intermediate-scale quantum) computers are vulnerable to errors, which limit the size of verifiable quantum circuits.

Gauge waves generation and detection in Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics

Fernando O. Minotti, Giovanni Modanese

The extended Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics has a simple formal structure and allows to couple the e.m. field also to currents which are not locally conserved, like those resulting from certain non-local effective quantum models of condensed matter. As it often happens in physics and mathematics when one tries to extend the validity of some equations or operations, new perspectives emerge in comparison to Maxwell theory, and some ''exotic'' phenomena are predicted. For the Aharonov-Bohm theory the main new feature is that the potentials $A^μ$ become univocally defined and can be measured with probes in which the ''extra-current'' $I=\partial_μj^μ$ is not zero at some points. As a consequence, it is possible in principle to detect pure gauge-waves with $\mathbf{E}=\mathbf{B}=0$ , which would be regarded as non-physical in the Maxwell gauge-invariant theory with local current conservation. We discuss in detail the theoretical aspects of this phenomenon and propose an experimental realization of the detectors. A full treatment of wave propagation in anomalous media with extra-currents and of energy-momentum balance issues is also given.The extended Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics has a simple formal structure and allows to couple the e.m. field also to currents which are not locally conserved, like those resulting from certain non-local effective quantum models of condensed matter.
