Basic elements for simulations of standard-model physics with quantum annealers: Multigrid and clock states

M Illa, MJ Savage - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We explore the potential of D-Wave's quantum annealers for computing some of the basic
components required for quantum simulations of standard model physics. By implementing …

Preparation for quantum simulation of the -dimensional O(3) nonlinear model using cold atoms

AN Ciavarella, S Caspar, H Singh, MJ Savage - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
The (1+ 1)-dimensional (1+ 1 D) O (3) nonlinear σ-model is a model system for future
quantum lattice simulations of other asymptotically free theories, such as non-Abelian gauge …

State preparation in the Heisenberg model through adiabatic spiraling

AN Ciavarella, S Caspar, M Illa, MJ Savage - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
An adiabatic state preparation technique, called the adiabatic spiral, is proposed for the
Heisenberg model. This technique is suitable for implementation on a number of quantum …

Simulating the transverse-field Ising model on the kagome lattice using a programmable quantum annealer

P Narasimhan, S Humeniuk, A Roy… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The presence of competing interactions arising from geometry leads to frustration in
quantum spin models. As a consequence, the ground state of such systems often displays a …
