Realization of a minimal Kitaev chain in coupled quantum dots

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Tom Dvir, Guanzhong Wang, Nick van Loo, Chun-Xiao Liu, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: Majorana bound states constitute one of the simplest examples of emergent non-Abelian excitations in condensed matter physics. A toy model proposed by Kitaev shows that such states can arise on the ends of […]

An entanglement perspective on the quantum approximate optimization algorithm

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicolas Didier, Mark J. Hodson, Joel E. Moore, Matthew J. Reagor | Summary: Many quantum algorithms seek to output a specific bitstring solving the problem of interest–or a few if the solution is degenerate. It is the case for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm […]
