    Barren plateaus appear to be a major obstacle to using variational quantum algorithms to simulate large-scale quantum systems or replace traditional machine learning algorithms. They can be caused by multiple factors such as expressivity, entanglement, locality of observables, or even hardware noise. We propose classical splitting of ans\"atze or parametrized quantum circuits to avoid barren...

    In the past decades, numerous experiments have emerged to unveil the nature of dark matter (DM), one of the most discussed open questions in modern particle physics. Direct detection experiments aim to measure scattering of DM particles off a target material. The expected DM scattering rate increases exponentially towards lower nuclear recoil energies, thus a low detection threshold is...

    Kernel methods in Quantum Machine Learning (QML) have recently gained significant attention as a potential candidate for achieving a quantum advantage in data analysis. Among other attractive properties, when training a kernel-based model one is guaranteed to find the optimal model's parameters due to the convexity of the training landscape. However, this is based on the assumption that the...

    We characterize for the first time the performances of IBM quantum chips as quantum batteries, specifically addressing the single-qubit Armonk processor. By exploiting the Pulse access enabled to some of the IBM Quantum processors via the Qiskit package, we investigate the advantages and limitations of different profiles for classical drives used to charge these miniaturized batteries,...

    QCD jets provide one of the best avenues to extract information about the quark-gluon plasma produced in the aftermath of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The structure of jets is determined by multiparticle quantum interference hard to tackle using perturbative methods. When jets evolve in a QCD medium, this interference pattern is modified, adding another layer of complexity. By...

    In a digital gate-based quantum computer, the effect of noise is usually described as a quantum channel appearing either before or after each gate. However, realistic noises are more complicated because every gate is experimentally realized via the time evolution of quantum controls, thus noises act along with (and affect) the evolution of the system. To handle noise effects in a more...

    We study possibilities of creation and detection of oscillating gravitational
    fields from high energy laser beams in an optical cavity and from the ultra-
    relativistic proton bunches circulating in the beam of the Large Hadron
    Collider (LHC) at CERN. These sources allow for signal frequencies much
    higher and far narrower in bandwidth than what most celestial sources
    produce. In addition,...

    We introduce the Piquasso quantum programming framework, a full-stack open source platform for the simulation and programming of photonic quantum computers. Piquasso can be programmed via high-level Python programming interface enabling users to perform efficient quantum computing with discrete and continuous variables. Via optional high-performance C++ backends Piquasso provides...

    We propose to utilize NISQ-era quantum devices to compute short distance quantities in (2 + 1)-dimensional QED and to combine them with large volume Monte Carlo simulations and perturbation theory. Since the theory is asymptotically free, it would serve as a training ground for future studies of Quantum Chromodynamics in (3 + 1)-dimensions on quantum computers. From the definition of the QED...

    Given the recent developments and successes, Quantum Computing (QC) has seen a tremendous increase in relevance and interest. Particularly in the last years, QC algorithms have been developed to study their use in solving typical problems in High Energy Physics.
    In this poster, we present the recent QC applications to jet tagging and track reconstruction currently pursued by the “Data...

    We discuss a Quantum Non-Demolition Measurement protocol to estimate the derivatives of a cost function with a quantum computers. This is a key step for the implementation of a variational quantum circuits. The use of a quantum detector allows us to directly estimate the derivatives of an observable, i.e., the derivative of the cost function. This allows us to reduce the resources needed to...

    We study the case where quantum computing could improve jet clustering by considering two new quantum algorithms that might speed up classical jet clustering algorithms. The first one is a quantum subroutine to compute a Minkowski-based distance between two data points, while the second one consists of a quantum circuit to track the rough maximum into a list of unsorted data. When one or both...

    Quantum machine learning offers a promising advantage in extracting information about quantum states, e.g. phase diagram. However, access to training labels is a major bottleneck for any supervised approach, preventing extracting insights about new physics. In this work, using quantum convolutional neural networks we overcome this limit with the determination of the phase diagram of a model...

    We summarize our recent work on quantum chaotic sensors, machine
    learning in quantum metrology, and Bayesian experimental design and
    data analysis.

    Measurement devices have traditionally always used integrable systems
    as sensors, such as precessing spins or harmonic oscillators prepared
    in non-classical states. But large benefits can be drawn from
    rendering integrable quantum...

    In the Standard Model framework, the Higgs-boson gives rise to the mass of elementary particles. Measuring the coupling of a Higgs-boson to charged leptons is an important process to test the Standard Model predictions. In this work, we only focus on the Higgs' decay into two tau leptons as the masses of electron and muon leptons are too small for the detection of their coupling to Higgs by...

    Quantum computing has demonstrated the potential to revolutionize our understanding of nuclear, atomic, and molecular structure by obtaining forefront solutions in non-relativistic quantum many-body theory. In this work, we show that quantum computing can be used to solve for the structure of hadrons, governed by strongly-interacting relativistic quantum field theory. Following our previous...

    Kernel methods are used in Machine Learning to enrich the feature
    representation of data in order to improve the generalization property
    of models. Quantum kernels efficiently implement complex transformations
    encoding classical data in the Hilbert space of a quantum system.
    Working with quantum kernels may produce benefits with respect to
    classical models. However, the choice of a...

    LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment) is a proposed experiment at DESY and European XFEL in Hamburg aiming to study non-perturbative quantum electrodynamics (QED) in electron-laser and photon-laser collisions. One of the key measurements is the number of positrons produced via the non-linear Breit-Wheeler process, which can be as high as 70,000 at LUXE phase-0 and even higher at phase-1. A silicon...

    Quantum computing is becoming a new paradigm in computational physics, with two complementary emerging approaches, the circuit-based technology and the quantum annealers such as D-Wave. To better understand the software and the hardware performances of these new technologies, we have started to investigate how to solve a general optimization problem with the Quantum Annealer D-Wave. As a first...
