Quantum computation capability verification protocol for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices with the dihedral coset problem

Ruge Lin, Weiqiang Wen

In this article, we propose an interactive protocol for one party (the verifier) holding a quantum computer to verify the quantum computation power of another party's (the prover) device via a one-way quantum channel. This protocol is referred to as the dihedral coset problem (DCP) challenge. The verifier needs to prepare quantum states encoding secrets (DCP samples) and send them to the prover. The prover is then tasked with recovering those secrets with a certain accuracy. Numerical simulation demonstrates that this accuracy is sensitive to errors in quantum hardware. Additionally, the DCP challenge serves as a benchmarking protocol for locally fully connected quantum architecture and aims to be performed on current and near-future quantum resources. We conduct a 4-qubit experiment on one of the IBM Q devices.

Variational benchmarks for quantum many-body problems

Dian Wu, Riccardo Rossi, Filippo Vicentini +30 more

The continued development of computational approaches to many-body ground-state problems in physics and chemistry calls for a consistent way to assess its overall progress. In this work, we introduce a metric of variational accuracy, the V-score, obtained from the variational energy and its variance. We provide an extensive curated dataset of variational calculations of many-body quantum systems, identifying cases where state-of-the-art numerical approaches show limited accuracy and future algorithms or computational platforms, such as quantum computing, could provide improved accuracy. The V-score can be used as a metric to assess the progress of quantum variational methods toward a quantum advantage for ground-state problems, especially in regimes where classical verifiability is impossible.
