Qubit unitary lattice algorithm for spin-2 Bose–Einstein Condensates. I – Theory and Pade initial conditions

Abstract

A qubit unitary lattice algorithm is developed for the evolution of five coupled Gross–Pitaesvkii equations that govern the dynamics of a spin-2 Bose–Einstein Condensate. On introducing 2 qubits/scalar component of the order parameter, 10 qubits/lattice node are required. The interleaved sequence of unitary collide-stream operators relies on their non-commutivity in order that their be non-trivial evolution equations. This collisional entanglement followed by streaming of this entanglement throughout the lattice is a hallmark of the algorithm. The qubit algorithm for spin-2 is summarized and new Pade initial conditions are determined. Being unitary, the algorithm can be directly encoded onto a quantum-gate computer.

Qubit unitary lattice algorithm for spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates: II - vortex reconnection simulations and non-Abelain vortices

George Vahala, Min Soe, Linda L. Vahala

Using the qubit unitary algorithm developed in the previous paper, quantum reconnection of non-Abelian quantum vortices is simulated and rung-like vortices are seen during the reconnection. Vortices in two of the four tetrahedral symmetry group are examined. Moreover, the algorithm performs exceptionally on classical supercomputers, as shown on timings on the IBM-Q supercomputer MIRA. It is expected that one should see the exponential speedup on a quantum computer since quantum entanglement is crucial for the qubit algorithm to recover the Gross-Pitaevskii equations for spin-2 systems.Keywords : spin-2 BECs, non-Abeliam vortices

Unitary Quantum Lattice Gas Algorithms for Quantum to Classical Turbulence

George Vahala, Jeffrey Yepez, Min Soe +2 more

Using a set of interleaved unitary collision-stream operators, a three-dimensional (3D) quantum lattice gas algorithm is devised which, on taking moments, recovers the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. If a zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is trapped in an a magnetic well, the evolution of the ground-state wave function satisfies the scalar GP equation, while if the BEC is trapped in an optical trap the ground-state wave function satisfies spin or GP equations. Quantum turbulence is studied in a scalar GP system on 5,7603 grid yielding not only the classical Kolmogorov k-5/3 cascade but also the quantum vortex k-3 spectrum. For a certain class of initial conditions, one finds an intermittent loss of tangled quantum vortices as the vortex cores attain minimal size, and thus prevent the Kelvin wave cascade (due to helical wave-wave coupling on the vortex). A coupled set of GP equations are solved for spin or BEC. Skrymions, which describe topologically-linked quantum vortices, are examined. One finds, for certain initial conditions that the incompressible kinetic energy spectrum for the condensate component of a vortex ring core rapidly departs from the k-3 linear quantum vortex spectrum.

Unitary quantum lattice gas algorithm generated from the Dirac collision operator for 1D soliton–soliton collisions

Armen Oganesov, George Vahala, Linda L. Vahala +3 more

A new unitary quantum lattice gas (QLG) algorithm is proposed as a mesoscopic unitary perturbative representation of the mean field Gross Pitaevskii equation for Bose–Einstein Condensates (BECs). This consists of an interleaved sequence of unitary collide-stream operators and is tested on the 1D nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation since exact soliton solutions are well known. An earlier QLG algorithm, based on the collision operator has been found to have limited application to spinor-BECs. Here, a new unitary collision operator, based on the recent QLG of Yepez for the Dirac particle, is used to model the 1D NLS soliton–soliton problem. It is found that this new unitary algorithm can handle parameters (soliton amplitudes and speeds) a factor of over 20 greater than those under the previous algorithm.[Re: (v.07) To be submitted to special issue ‘Plasma and Fluid Dynamics: Computational, Experimental and Theoretical Advancement’]

Quantum lattice gas algorithm for quantum turbulence and vortex reconnection in the Gross-Pitaevskii equation

George Vahala, Jeffrey Yepez, Linda L. Vahala

The ground state wave function for a Bose Einstein condensate is well described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. A Type-II quantum algorithm is devised that is ideally parallelized even on a classical computer. Only 2 qubits are required per spatial node. With unitary local collisions, streaming of entangled states and a spatially inhomogeneous unitary gauge rotation one recovers the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Quantum vortex reconnection is simulated - even without any viscosity or resistivity (which are needed in classical vortex reconnection).

Modeling The Gross-Pitaevskii Equation Using The Quantum Lattice Gas Method

Armen Oganesov

We present an improved Quantum Lattice Gas (QLG) algorithm as a mesoscopic unitary perturbative representation of the mean field Gross Pitaevskii (GP) equation for Bose–Einstein Condensates (BECs). The method employs an interleaved sequence of unitary collide and stream operators. QLG is applicable to many different scalar potentials in the weak interaction regime and has been used to model the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV), Burgers and GP equations. It can be implemented on both quantum and classical computers and is extremely scalable. We present results for 1D soliton solutions with positive and negative internal interactions, as well as vector solitons with inelastic scattering. In higher dimensions we look at the behavior of vortex ring reconnection. A further improvement is considered with a proper operator splitting technique via a Fourier transformation. This is great for quantum computers since the quantum FFT is exponentially faster than its classical counterpart which involves non-local data on the entire lattice (Quantum FFT is the backbone of the Shor algorithm for quantum factorization). We also present an imaginary time method in which we transform the Schrödinger equation into a diffusion equation for recovering ground state initial conditions of a quantum system suitable for the QLG algorithm.
