Entanglement across separate silicon dies in a modular superconducting qubit device
We demonstrate a modular solid state architecture with deterministic inter-module coupling between four physically separate, interchangeable superconducting qubit integrated circuits.
Benchmarking variational quantum eigensolvers for the square-octagon-lattice Kitaev model
We consider the Kitaev spin model on a hardware-native square-octagon qubit connectivity map, and examine the possibility of efficiently probing its rich phase diagram with VQE approaches.
Parametric-resonance entangling gates with a tunable coupler
We realize a parametric-resonance gate, which is activated by bringing the average frequency of the modulated qubit in resonance with a static-frequency qubit while approximately retaining the bare qubit-qubit coupling.
Discovery of Nb hydride precipitates in superconducting qubits
We report the first evidence of the formation of niobium hydrides within niobium films on silicon substrates in superconducting qubits fabricated at Rigetti Computing.
Optimizing the optimizer: Decomposition techniques for quantum annealing
We explore multiple heterogeneous approaches to solving multiple industry-relevant benchmark problems in order to understand how best to leverage quantum computers given current constraints.
Methods for accelerating geospatial data processing using quantum computers
We describe an approach to satellite image classification using a universal quantum enhancement to convolutional neural networks: the quanvolutional neural network.
Quantum versus classical generative modelling in finance
We use a real world financial dataset consisting of correlated currency pairs and compare two models in their ability to learn the resulting distribution - a restricted Boltzmann machine, and a quantum circuit Born machine.
