Nonadiabatic quantum optimization for crossing quantum phase transitions

A Grabarits, F Balducci, BC Sanders, A del Campo - Physical Review A, 2025 - APS
We consider the optimal driving of the ground state of a many-body quantum system across
a quantum phase transition in finite time. In this context, excitations caused by the …

Eliminating Surface Oxides of Superconducting Circuits with Noble Metal Encapsulation

RD Chang, N Shumiya, RA McLellan, Y Zhang… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The lifetime of superconducting qubits is limited by dielectric loss, and a major source of
dielectric loss is the native oxide present at the surface of the superconducting metal …

Statistics of topological defects across a phase transition in a superconducting quantum processor

D Teplitskiy, O Kiss, M Grossi, A Mandarino - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
When a quantum phase transition is crossed within a finite time, critical slowing down
disrupts adiabatic dynamics, resulting in the formation of topological defects. The average …
