Thermal properties of nanomaterials are crucial to not only improving our fundamental understanding of condensed matter systems, but also to developing novel materials for applications spanning research and industry alike. Since quantum effects arise at the nanomaterial scale, these systems are difficult to simulate on classical computers. Quantum computers, by contrast, can efficiently simulate quantum many-body systems. However, current algorithms for calculating thermal properties of these systems incur significant computational costs in that they either prepare the full thermal (i.e., mixed) state on the quantum computer, or else they must sample a number of pure states from a distribution that grows with system size. Canonical thermal pure quantum states provide a promising path to estimating thermal properties of quantum materials as they neither require preparation of the full thermal state nor require a large number of samples. Remarkably, fewer samples are required as the system size grows. Here, we present a method for preparing canonical TPQ states on quantum computers and demonstrate its efficacy in estimating thermal properties of quantum materials. Due to its increasing accuracy with system size, as well as its flexibility in implementation, we anticipate that this method will enable finite temperature explorations of relevant quantum materials on near-term quantum computers.

A highly anticipated application for quantum computers is as a universal simulator of quantum many-body systems, as was conjectured by Richard Feynman in the 1980s. The last decade has witnessed the growing success of quantum computing for simulating
static properties of quantum systems, i.e., the ground state energy of small molecules. However, it remains a challenge to simulate quantum many-body dynamics on current-to-near-future noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers. Here, we demonstrate successful simulation of nontrivial quantum dynamics on IBMs Q16 Melbourne quantum processor and Rigettis Aspen quantum processor; namely, ultrafast control of emergent magnetism by THz radiation in an atomically-thin two-dimensional material. The full code and step-by-step tutorials for performing such simulations are included to lower the barrier to access for future research on these two quantum computers. As such, this work lays a foundation for the promising study of a wide variety of quantum dynamics on near-future quantum computers, including dynamic localization of Floquet states and topological protection of qubits in noisy environments.
Trapped-ion quantum information processors store information in atomic ions maintained in position in free space via electric fields. Quantum logic is enacted via manipulation of the ions internal and shared motional quantum states using optical and
microwave signals. While trapped ions show great promise for quantum-enhanced computation, sensing, and communication, materials research is needed to design traps that allow for improved performance by means of integration of system components, including optics and electronics for ion-qubit control, while minimizing the near-ubiquitous electric-field noise produced by trap-electrode surfaces. In this review, we consider the materials requirements for such integrated systems, with a focus on problems that hinder current progress toward practical quantum computation. We give suggestions for how materials scientists and trapped-ion technologists can work together to develop materials-based integration and noise-mitigation strategies to enable the next generation of trapped-ion quantum computers.
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.
This article introduces quantum computation by analogy with probabilistic computation. A basic description of the quantum search algorithm is given by representing the algorithm as a C program in a novel way.
ArQTiC is an open-source, full-stack software package built for the simulations of materials on quantum computers. It currently can simulate materials that can be modeled by any Hamiltonian derived from a generic, one-dimensional, time-dependent Heis
enberg Hamiltonain. ArQTiC includes modules for generating quantum programs for real- and imaginary-time evolution, quantum circuit optimization, connection to various quantum backends via the cloud, and post-processing of quantum results. By enabling users to seamlessly perform and analyze materials simulations on quantum computers by simply providing a minimal input text file, ArQTiC opens this field to a broader community of scientists from a wider range of scientific domains.
