Absence of barren plateaus in finite local-depth circuits with long-range entanglement

HK Zhang, S Liu, SX Zhang - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Ground state preparation is classically intractable for general Hamiltonians. On quantum
devices, shallow parametrized circuits can be effectively trained to obtain short-range …

Bridging Rokhsar-Kivelson type and generic quantum phase transitions via thermofield double states

WT Xu, RZ Huang, GM Zhang - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The formalism of the Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) model has been frequently used to study
topological phase transitions in 2D in terms of the deformed wave functions, which are RK …
