Memristive linear algebra

The advent of memristive devices offers a promising avenue for efficient and scalable analog computing, particularly for linear algebra operations essential in various scientific and engineering applications. This paper investigates the potential of memristive crossbars in implementing matrix inversion algorithms. We explore both static and dynamic approaches, emphasizing the advantages of analog and in-memory computing for matrix operations beyond multiplication. In particular, we demonstrate that the electrical properties of memristive crossbars uniquely suit them for the evolution of a family of matrix exponentials, which can be exploited for the efficient computation of matrix inverses and online solutions for linear problems. Our results demonstrate that memristive arrays can reduce computational complexity. We also study power consumption and show a tradeoff between precision and energy. Furthermore, we address the challenges of device variability, precision, and scalability, providing insights into the practical implementation of these algorithms.

Qutrit Circuits and Algebraic Relations: A Pathway to Efficient Spin-1 Hamiltonian Simulation

Quantum information processing has witnessed significant advancements through the application of qubit- based techniques within universal gate sets. Recently, exploration beyond the qubit paradigm to d-dimensional quantum units or qudits has opened new avenues for improving computational efficiency. This paper delves into the qudit-based approach, particularly addressing the challenges presented in the high-fidelity implementation of qudit-based circuits due to increased complexity. As an innovative approach towards enhancing qudit circuit fidelity, we explore algebraic relations, such as the Yang-Baxter-like turnover equation, which may enable circuit compression and optimization. The paper introduces the turnover relation for the three-qutrit time propagator and its potential use in reducing circuit depth. We further investigate whether this relation can be generalized for higher-dimensional quantum circuits, including a focused study on the one-dimensional spin-1 Heisenberg model. Our paper outlines both rigorous and numerically efficient approaches to potentially achieve this generalization, providing a foundation for further explorations in the field of qudit-based quantum computing.

The Eigenvector-Eigenvalue Identity and other pragmatic topics in linear algebra for physicists

Diagonalization of an Hermitian matrix is a common task in physics. All of us have diagonalized 2x2 matrices but few have diagonalized a 3x3 matrix algebraically except in special simplifying cases. In this colloquium, I will discuss the mathematics and methods for diagonalizing small, but larger than 2x2 marices, and discuss the recently rediscovered Eigenvector-Eigenvalue identity. As an explicit, pragmatic example I will use the propagation of neutrino's propagating through matter which is inherently a 3x3 problem.
