We report results for simulating an effective field theory to compute the binding energy of the deuteron nucleus using a hybrid algorithm on a trapped-ion quantum computer. Two increasingly complex unitary coupled-cluster ansaetze have been used to compute the binding energy to within a few percent for successively more complex Hamiltonians. By increasing the complexity of the Hamiltonian, allowing more terms in the effective field theory expansion and calculating their expectation values, we present a benchmark for quantum computers based on their ability to scalably calculate the effective field theory with increasing accuracy. Our result of $E_4=-2.220 pm 0.179$MeV may be compared with the exact Deuteron ground-state energy $-2.224$MeV. We also demonstrate an error mitigation technique using Richardson extrapolation on ion traps for the first time. The error mitigation circuit represents a record for deepest quantum circuit on a trapped-ion quantum computer.

We present a quantum algorithm for simulation of quantum field theory in the light-front formulation and demonstrate how existing quantum devices can be used to study the structure of bound states in relativistic nuclear physics. Specifically, we app
ly the Variational Quantum Eigensolver algorithm to find the ground state of the light-front Hamiltonian obtained within the Basis Light-Front Quantization framework. As a demonstration, we calculate the mass, mass radius, decay constant, electromagnetic form factor, and charge radius of the pion on the IBMQ Vigo chip. We consider two implementations based on different encodings of physical states, and propose a development that may lead to quantum advantage. This is the first time that the light-front approach to quantum field theory has been used to enable simulation of a real physical system on a quantum computer.
Crosstalk is a major source of noise in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems and is a fundamental challenge for hardware design. When multiple instructions are executed in parallel, crosstalk between the instructions can corrupt the quantu
m state and lead to incorrect program execution. Our goal is to mitigate the application impact of crosstalk noise through software techniques. This requires (i) accurate characterization of hardware crosstalk, and (ii) intelligent instruction scheduling to serialize the affected operations. Since crosstalk characterization is computationally expensive, we develop optimizations which reduce the characterization overhead. On three 20-qubit IBMQ systems, we demonstrate two orders of magnitude reduction in characterization time (compute time on the QC device) compared to all-pairs crosstalk measurements. Informed by these characterization, we develop a scheduler that judiciously serializes high crosstalk instructions balancing the need to mitigate crosstalk and exponential decoherence errors from serialization. On real-system runs on three IBMQ systems, our scheduler improves the error rate of application circuits by up to 5.6x, compared to the IBM instruction scheduler and offers near-optimal crosstalk mitigation in practice. In a broader picture, the difficulty of mitigating crosstalk has recently driven QC vendors to move towards sparser qubit connectivity or disabling nearby operations entirely in hardware, which can be detrimental to performance. Our work makes the case for software mitigation of crosstalk errors.
Fault-tolerant quantum computation promises to solve outstanding problems in quantum chemistry within the next decade. Realizing this promise requires scalable tools that allow users to translate descriptions of electronic structure problems to optim
ized quantum gate sequences executed on physical hardware, without requiring specialized quantum computing knowledge. To this end, we present a quantum chemistry library, under the open-source MIT license, that implements and enables straightforward use of state-of-art quantum simulation algorithms. The library is implemented in Q#, a language designed to express quantum algorithms at scale, and interfaces with NWChem, a leading electronic structure package. We define a standardized schema for this interface, Broombridge, that describes second-quantized Hamiltonians, along with metadata required for effective quantum simulation, such as trial wavefunction ansatzes. This schema is generated for arbitrary molecules by NWChem, conveniently accessible, for instance, through Docker containers and a recently developed web interface EMSL Arrows. We illustrate use of the library with various examples, including ground- and excited-state calculations for LiH, H$_{10}$, and C$_{20}$ with an active-space simplification, and automatically obtain resource estimates for classically intractable examples.
Quantum computers hold promise to greatly improve the efficiency of quantum simulations of materials and to enable the investigation of systems and properties more complex than tractable on classical architectures. Here, we discuss computational fram
eworks to carry out electronic structure calculations of solids on noisy intermediate scale quantum computers using embedding theories and effective many-body Hamiltonians. We focus on a specific class of materials, i.e., spin defects in solids, which are promising systems to build future quantum technologies, e.g., computers, sensors and devices for quantum communications. Although quantum simulations on quantum architectures are in their infancy, promising results for realistic systems appear within reach.
We introduce Mitiq, a Python package for error mitigation on noisy quantum computers. Error mitigation techniques can reduce the impact of noise on near-term quantum computers with minimal overhead in quantum resources by relying on a mixture of quan
tum sampling and classical post-processing techniques. Mitiq is an extensible toolkit of different error mitigation methods, including zero-noise extrapolation, probabilistic error cancellation, and Clifford data regression. The library is designed to be compatible with generic backends and interfaces with different quantum software frameworks. We describe Mitiq using code snippets to demonstrate usage and discuss features and contribution guidelines. We present several examples demonstrating error mitigation on IBM and Rigetti superconducting quantum processors as well as on noisy simulators.
