Using Grover’s search protocol to select the best qubit pairs

This research represents a continuation of our investigation of the Rigetti quantum platform as part of the Quantum Leap for Fusion Energy Sciences project. We evaluate the performance of the new Aspen-11, Aspen-M-2, Aspen-M-3 quantum processing units (QPU) through the application of the Grover’s search algorithm and the validation of single gate fidelities. The performance of the new QPUs is compared to the older Aspen-7 device, and it is shown that qubit pair selection plays a key role in the optimization process. Additionally, we delve into the examination of coherent and decoherent errors associated with native gates. To optimize our approach, we have developed several relatively inexpensive hardware protocols aimed at facilitating the selection of the most suitable qubit pairs. These protocols involve running various circuits on the hardware and assessing the overall performance of the tested qubit pairs. Through these protocols, we have demonstrated that the quality of qubit pairs on a single chip can exhibit significant variations.

Spin Effects in Low Dimensional Correlated Systems (Final Technical Report)

Our program focuses on the behavior of two-dimensional superconducting systems that have been placed in high magnetic fields and/or in contact with magnetic materials. Our specific research agenda is organized into two separate but related areas. The first is a study of disorder and correlation effects in extremely thin superconducting aluminum, beryllium, and rhenium films that have been subjected to very high magnetic fields. We are particularly interested in understanding how the coupling between the applied field and the electron spins affects the system’s ability to form superconducting state. We now have good evidence that as the electron spins in these superconductors attempt to align to the magnetic field, a new superconducting phase emerges near the critical field transition and that this phase has a significant influence on the character of the transition. Thus, the spin behavior near the transition is much more complex than expected. The second class of systems is proximity structures comprised of superconducting/ferromagnetic (SC/FM) and superconducting/heavy metal (SC/HM) bilayers. We have developed spin-resolved tunneling probes that give us a direct measure of the proximity-induced exchange field in the SC/FM structures, as well as the spin-orbit scattering rate in SC/HM structures. Recently we have demonstrated that the magnitude of the exchange field can be modulated with an external gate, thereby producing a magneto-electric response in the bilayers. We plan to optimize this magneto-electric effect by getting a better understanding of the microscopic mechanism of the interface-induce exchange field, as well as improving the gate barriers and/or the bilayer interface quality. The ultimate goal is to develop a device such as a voltage-controlled superconducting switch or a spin- polarized electron source with a voltage-tunable Zeeman splitting.

Electron Density Measurements Using USPR (Final Scientific/Technical Report)

UC Davis has fabricated an ultrashort pulse reflectometer (USPR) diagnostic instrument for electron density profile measurements on compact, short duration, magnetically-confined fusion-energy concept devices such as spheromaks and FRCs. The USPR system transmits extremely short duration (~few nsec) chirped waveforms that together span 29 to 75 GHz. These chirped waveforms illuminate and reflect from the target plasma, with each frequency component reflecting from a different density layer (higher frequencies probe deeper into the plasma before reflecting). The reflected waveforms are split into roughly 42 different frequencies; time-of-flight (TOF) measurements made at each frequency with high resolution (~25 psec measurement resolution which corresponds to ~5 mm). These TOF data may then be inverted via software to generate electron density profiles with high time resolution (~10 μsec). At the heart of the system is a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based controller which collects and processes all of the USPR data in addition to generating all of the control signals required for maximum flexibility. The FPGA controller has the software flexibility to be easily reconfigured for different plasma devices, and the entire system sufficiently compact to be easily and quickly transported between devices. A high speed impulse generator was transformed into a set of three ultrashort pulse transmitter chirps using a combination of dispersive waveguide, frequency doublers and high-pass filters. A mm-wave controller was fabricated to sequentially switch between the three chirps, directing the chirps one-by-one to three different mm-wave assemblies spanning 29-75 GHz. Each mm-wave assembly consists of a high power active multiplier chain which converts the transmitter chirp to higher frequencies, and a broadband mixer which downconverts the reflected waveform to the 2-18 GHz range of the UPSR receiver. The 16-channel receiver (shared by all 3 mm-wave assemblies) was fabricated employing custom TOF modules capable of operating at a high 1 MHz sampling rate. Laboratory testing of the full system revealed the presence of unwanted harmonics from the multiplication process, with interference observed in the downconverted reflections at selected frequency channels that could not be completely filtered out. Additional interference effects arising from internal reflections within the mm-wave assemblies were minimized using a high-speed switch which served to “gate out” much of these reflections. The USPR diagnostic was transported and installed onto the HIT-SIU plasma device, becoming operational on 11/08/2022. Although designed to span 3 distinct mm-wave bands, the HIT-SIU plasmas at this time were sufficiently low density such that only the lowest of the three bands was likely to have strong plasma reflections. The system was then set to operate on only the lowest band (assembly #1), with data collected every 1 μsec rather than 3 μsec which would have been the case when cycling through all three bands. Connected to HIT-SIU, time-varying plasma reflections were observed on 9 of 16 possible frequency channels. Close examination of the data collected revealed issues previously unobserved in laboratory testing, associated with (a) reflections from the small aperture horns required for operation within the HIT-SIU device, and (b) a dependence of the recorded TOF with the threshold voltage of a given channel. Plans were made to address each of these issues before undertaking any future campaigns.

Building spatial symmetries into parameterized quantum circuits for faster training

Practical success of quantum learning models hinges on having a suitable structure for the parameterized quantum circuit. Such structure is defined both by the types of gates employed and by the correlations of their parameters. While much research has been devoted to devising adequate gate-sets, typically respecting some symmetries of the problem, very little is known about how their parameters should be structured. In this work, we show that an ideal parameter structure naturally emerges when carefully considering spatial symmetries (i.e. the symmetries that are permutations of parts of the system under study). Namely, we consider the automorphism group of the problem Hamiltonian, leading us to develop a circuit construction that is equivariant under this symmetry group. The benefits of our novel circuitstructure, called ORB, are numerically probed in several ground-state problems. We find a consistent improvement (in terms of circuit depth, number of parameters required, and gradient magnitudes) compared to literature circuit constructions.

Physical Mechanisms and Electric-Bias Control of Phase Transitions in Quasi-2D Charge-Density-Wave Quantum Materials

The goals of this fundamental science project, aimed at understanding the physical mechanisms and developing methods for electric-bias control of phase transitions in quasi-2D CDW materials, have been achieved. We focused on 1T-TaS2, one of the most interesting materials of this type, and demonstrated electrical gating of the I-V characteristics and hysteresis in this material. The demonstration of electrical gating of CDW phases in quasi-2D material was performed at RT. We have conducted experiments to separate the electric-field CDW switching from Joule heating-induced switching. This was an important development for 2D CDW materials. The project has led to a better understanding of the physical mechanisms behind the phase transitions and CDW depinning in quasi-2D van der Waals materials. We established that the CDW domain depinning in 1T-TaS2 does not lead to a strong increase in the collective current and accompanying narrow-band noise. We developed a technique that utilized the low-frequency noise measurements in such materials for monitoring the CDW phase transitions. In the experiments where 1T-TaS2 flakes were used in polymeric matrices, we verified the robustness of the phase transitions between the nearly commensurate and incommensurate CDW phases.

Enabling Ultralow Volume Analysis with a High-Resolution Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Platform

Of all the molecules thought to exist in the universe, it is estimated that researchers only know the chemical structures of 5% of them. Identifying the chemical structures of the remaining 95% has proven extremely challenging because many molecules exhibit low abundance, are contained in small volumes (e.g., <10 nL), do not readily ionize, exhibit similar structures to other molecules, etc. No single analytical technique exists to definitively identify the structure of an unknown molecule, and thus multiple different molecular measurements are typically made (i.e., multi-modal approach). Ion mobility (IMS) and mass spectrometry (MS) are two key tools that researchers use to determine the chemical structures of unknown molecules, and recently high-resolution and ultrahigh resolution IMS-MS instruments have provided greater confidence than ever before. However, HR-IMS-MS instruments typically exhibit low ion utilization efficiency, meaning they require large amounts of sample for an analysis (e.g., >10 µL). Unfortunately, this limitation prohibits the analysis of small volume samples where many unknown molecules exist. Described herein are the efforts made to enable the analysis of ultralow volumes with an HR-IMS-MS platform. A new scanning technique, termed a ‘stuttered traveling wave scan’, was developed as a replacement for the dual-gated scanning technique and works by halting the traveling waves after allowing ions to separate and then repeatedly restarting and stopping the traveling waves to incrementally move ions from the SLIM to the Orbitrap. Ions were stored inside the SLIM while the TWs were stopped, allowing the Orbitrap to perform high-resolution mass analysis. When the Orbitrap was ready, the TWs were restarted for short periods of time (<10 ms) to move ions from the SLIM to the Orbitrap. It was discovered that lower TW amplitudes and speeds than used during IMS separation were required to produce IMS peaks with the highest signal intensities and best resolving powers. The stuttered TW scan was found to produce similar resolutions and signal intensities compared to the dual-gated scanning technique. A new IMS design possessing an intersecting ‘tee’ with a reversible traveling wave was also developed to improve ion utilization efficiency during cyclic operation, which is necessary when only a single IMS spectrum can be acquired, such as when analyzing ultralow volume samples. The new capabilities described in this report lay the groundwork for acquiring HR-IMS-MS spectra of ultralow volume biological samples, such as single cells, where HR-IMS-MS can help elucidate the structures of unknown compounds.

A Quantum Approach for Implementing Fixed-Point Arithmetic in Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

Differential equations (DEs) serve as fundamental tools in mathematical modeling across scientific disciplines, yet classical numerical solvers face limitations with large-scale or computationally intensive problems. This study explores a quantum-inspired approach to solving DEs, combining quantum- inspired techniques with classical methods. It focuses on fixed- point arithmetic on quantum circuits, utilizing basic quantum gates to manipulate DE solutions. We expand upon the techniques introduced by Zanger et al. [Quantum, 5, 502 (2021)] by offering a precise computation for a fixed-point signed multiplication scheme, while also presenting a quantum circuit capable of executing the fixed-point division algorithm. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach through the simulation of a linear Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE), where initial conditions and parameters are encoded into quantum circuits using fixed- point representation. By executing sequences of quantum gates mimicking numerical integration steps, we obtain approximate solutions to the ODE with specified fixed-point precision.

Comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis of Methanol Production and Methanol-to-Diesel Conversion

Methanol is a strategic chemical and intermediate in the manufacture of synthetic diesel, due to its versatility, diesel’s compatibility with existing infrastructure, and their role in industrial and transport applications. Conventional production methods for methanol, primarily steam methane reforming (SMR), rely on natural gas and are subject to the price variability due to market conditions and geopolitical events. They are also associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Methanol and synthetic diesel production could be integrated with nuclear energy to stabilize fuel prices and insulate pricing from outside geopolitical events due to the relative stability of nuclear fuel as compared to natural gas. This could lead to increased transportation fuel security, reliability and resilience. An added benefit is the abatement of emissions when substituting nuclear energy for conventional energy from natural gas. This report presents a comprehensive life cycle analysis(LCA) framework which was developed to evaluate the GHG emissions reduction potential associated with nuclear integrated methanol production, methanol-to-diesel upgrading, and end-use combustion. Gate-to-gate methanol production and cradle-to-grave emissions were evaluated in, starting with a business-as-usual (BAU) SMR-based methanol plant, and then considering stepwise nuclear integration. Methanol-to-diesel (MTD) conversion was evaluated accounting for nuclear energy integration and hydrogen production via high-temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) using electricity either from the grid or from a dedicated nuclear power system. This multi-step process diverts stable and reliable nuclear energy into the transportation sector by upgrading low energy dense natural gas into liquid fuels fully compatible with existing infrastructure.

Performance Characterization of FB-Line Neutron Multiplicity Counter and Large Neutron Multiplicity Counter

Savanah River National Laboratory’s (SRNL) Nuclear Measurements group was tasked with characterizing the performance of two neutron multiplicity counters located at SRNL. Characterization measurements were made to determine the gate width, pre-delay, deadtime parameters, triples and doubles gate fractions, detector efficiency, and operating high voltage for the Large Neutron Multiplicity Counter (LNMC) and the FB Line Neutron Multiplicity Counter (FBLNMC). The parameters were determined, shown below, and were, as to be expected, slightly different than the previous calibrations, which were performed over 20 years ago. Several Pu samples were measured to validate the characterizations of the FBLNMC and LNMC. The measurements determined the sample Pu-240 mass within <2% deviation for the pure plutonium samples and ~8% for the mixed oxide sample. The pure Pu samples had significantly better accuracy compared with the impure mixed oxide sample due to the lack of induced fission or alpha,n neutrons from impurities. Overall, the characterization of the neutron multiplicity counters, and the determination of their operability has been completed successfully.

Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order Nevada National Security Site Use Restriction Management Plan, Revision 2

This Use Restriction Management Plan (URMP) provides the information needed to create, modify, and manage use restrictions (URs) for sites on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS), and sites accessed through the NNSS main gate, that were closed using the corrective action alternative (CAA) of closure in place under the Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order (FFACO). It addresses URs established under the FFACO for releases related to the development, testing, and production of nuclear weapons that are located on the NNSS and that are accessed through the NNSS main gate. FFACO URs are established at sites where contamination remains at levels exceeding final action levels (FALs) or is forecasted to exceed Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) maximum contaminant levels (CFR, 2025a) over the next 1,000 years following completion of corrective actions. Administrative URs are established at Industrial Sites and Soils sites where contamination remains at levels exceeding industrial action levels as defined in the Soils RBCA document. All URs stipulate restrictions sufficient to ensure the protection of human health, safety, and the environment.

IOTA Pre-Bake Test Development

The poster presentation prepared for the IOTA (Integrable Optics Test Accelerator) Pre-Bake Test Development project consists of introducing the background of the project, the work completed, and the new test configurations available with the newly designed assembly. It explains the scale of the projects, both within the IOTA ring assembly and test assembly, and describes the purpose in baking or incrementing and holding exterior heat on the beampipe to reduce impurities in the vacuum. The originally designed test, Configuration One, uses RCA scans on the interior of the pipe, increments and holds heat for a set amount of time, and is scanned again to check for water evaporation. Configuration Two begins with the same test for Configuration One but has a second cross section of beampipe separated by a gate valve. After configuration one is complete, the gate valve opens, and after a period of cooling the other side is heated, molecular movement is scanned and observed.

Bypassing Fast Time Scales of the Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Model via a Thresholded Hard Reset

We propose a modification to the Hodgkin-Huxley model to reduce the numerical stiffness of the equations by introducing an explicit voltage threshold. When this threshold is crossed, the voltage and the gating variables are reset to constant values. It is found that, for all of the current stimuli considered, the proposed model accurately reproduces the behavior of the baseline Hodgkin-Huxley model while bypassing the fast dynamics of spiking. Specifically, the model accurately reproduces the spike times and, between spikes, the time courses of the membrane potential and gating variables.

Uniting Theory and Experiment to Deliver Flexible MOFS for Superior Methane (NG) Storage

The objective of the project was to use previous insights developed through synthesis and quantitative modeling of rigid metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in an established synergistic theoretical/experimental team to create, modify, and evaluate flexible MOFs (FlexMOFs) for natural gas (NG) storage and release at practically useful pressures and transform the NG storage economy. The goal was reduced pressure absorbed natural gas (ANG) FlexMOF storage at operating pressures less than 100 bar with physisorption exploiting the favorable thermodynamics and kinetics of flexible porous material opening in response to adsorption. Hydrogen behavior in this context was also considered. The specific aim of the project was to design and develop a standard computational modeling methodology for, first, detailed atomistic retrodiction of FlexMOF gating behavior and ultimately prediction of the effects of functionalization and/or substitution on structural transitioning. The project was also geared towards the establishment of the interaction of methane with the framework and binding sites using modeling and the FlexMOF will be both internally and external validated as a SMART metric. This has value to the scientific community both from the obvious standpoint of providing a better understanding of the promising test case systems (CdIF-13 and the MIL-53(Al) series of MOFs), but also in providing an avenue of obtaining insight into these FlexMOF systems in general, which is of particular interest given the tendency of structure-function correlation to lag behind synthesis methodology (making the latter a hit or miss proposition for applications). This gap remains significant for FlexMOF systems whose gate opening behaviors complicate computational examination. The computational methodologies are relatively inexpensive in terms of both money and computational resources enhancing the general viability of these methodologies. The ultimate gain to the public will be in the application of these techniques to design systems for natural gas storage and use to cut down on green-house emissions.

Fast-forwarding quantum evolution

We investigate the problem of fast-forwarding quantum evolution, whereby the dynamics of certain quantum systems can be simulated with gate complexity that is sublinear in the evolution time. We provide a definition of fast-forwarding that considers the model of quantum computation, the Hamiltonians that induce the evolution, and the properties of the initial states. Our definition accounts for any asymptotic complexity improvement of the general case and we use it to demonstrate fast-forwarding in several quantum systems. In particular, we show that some local spin systems whose Hamiltonians can be taken into block diagonal form using an efficient quantum circuit, such as those that are permutation-invariant, can be exponentially fast-forwarded. We also show that certain classes of positive semidefinite local spin systems, also known as frustration-free, can be polynomially fast-forwarded, provided the initial state is supported on a subspace of sufficiently low energies. Last, we show that all quadratic fermionic systems and number-conserving quadratic bosonic systems can be exponentially fast-forwarded in a model where quantum gates are exponentials of specific fermionic or bosonic operators, respectively. Our results extend the classes of physical Hamiltonians that were previously known to be fast-forwarded, while not necessarily requiring methods that diagonalize the Hamiltonians efficiently. We further develop a connection between fast-forwarding and precise energy measurements that also accounts for polynomial improvements.

Simulating Effective QED on Quantum Computers

In recent years simulations of chemistry and condensed materials has emerged as one of the preeminent applications of quantum computing, offering an exponential speedup for the solution of the electronic structure for certain strongly correlated electronic systems. To date, most treatments have ignored the question of whether relativistic effects, which are described most generally by quantum electrodynamics (QED), can also be simulated on a quantum computer in polynomial time. Here we show that effective QED, which is equivalent to QED to second order in perturbation theory, can be simulated in polynomial time under reasonable assumptions while properly treating all four components of the wavefunction of the fermionic field. In particular, we provide a detailed analysis of such simulations in position and momentum basis using Trotter-Suzuki formulas. We find that the number of T -gates needed to perform such simulations on a 3 D lattice of n s sites scales at worst as O ( n s 3 / ϵ ) 1 + o ( 1 ) in the thermodynamic limit for position basis simulations and O ( n s 4 + 2 / 3 / ϵ ) 1 + o ( 1 ) in momentum basis. We also find that qubitization scales slightly better with a worst case scaling of O ~ ( n s 2 + 2 / 3 / ϵ ) for lattice eQED and complications in the prepare circuit leads to a slightly worse scaling in momentum basis of O ~ ( n s 5 + 2 / 3 / ϵ ) . We further provide concrete gate counts for simulating a relativistic version of the uniform electron gas that show challenging problems can be simulated using fewer than 10 13 non-Clifford operations and also provide a detailed discussion of how to prepare multi-reference configuration interaction states in effective QED which can provide a reasonable initial guess for the ground state. Finally, we estimate the planewave cutoffs needed to accurately simulate heavy elements such as gold.

Noise-resistant Landau-Zener sweeps from geometrical curves

Landau-Zener physics is often exploited to generate quantum logic gates and to perform state initialization and readout. The quality of these operations can be degraded by noise fluctuations in the energy gap at the avoided crossing. We leverage a recently discovered correspondence between qubit evolution and space curves in three dimensions to design noise-robust Landau-Zener sweeps through an avoided crossing. In the case where the avoided crossing is purely noise-induced, we prove that operations based on monotonic sweeps cannot be robust to noise. Hence, we design families of phase gates based on non-monotonic drives that are error-robust up to second order. In the general case where there is an avoided crossing even in the absence of noise, we present a general technique for designing robust driving protocols that takes advantage of a relationship between the Landau-Zener problem and space curves of constant torsion.

Hybrid quantum-classical approach for coupled-cluster Green's function theory

The three key elements of a quantum simulation are state preparation, time evolution, and measurement. While the complexity scaling of time evolution and measurements are well known, many state preparation methods are strongly system-dependent and require prior knowledge of the system's eigenvalue spectrum. Here, we report on a quantum-classical implementation of the coupled-cluster Green's function (CCGF) method, which replaces explicit ground state preparation with the task of applying unitary operators to a simple product state. While our approach is broadly applicable to many models, we demonstrate it here for the Anderson impurity model (AIM). The method requires a number of T gates that grows as O ( N 5 ) per time step to calculate the impurity Green's function in the time domain, where N is the total number of energy levels in the AIM. Since the number of T gates is analogous to the computational time complexity of a classical simulation, we achieve an order of magnitude improvement over a classical CCGF calculation of the same order, which requires O ( N 6 ) computational resources per time step.
