Group Description:
The group is made up of the following staff researchers: David Íñiguez Dieste, Alfonso Tarancón Lafita, Manuel Asorey Carballeira, Fernando Falceto Blecua, Jose Garcia Esteve, David Zueco Lainez and other scientific collaborators: Yisely Martinez Perez, Fernando Ezquerro Sastre.
QUANTIA explores real applications of quantum technologies. Our mission is to bring quantum energy closer to Spanish industry. To do this, we research and develop algorithms to solve various problems such as material and chemical compound simulators, optimization, recommendation or classification.
Activity description:
The QUANTIA group of Universidad de Zaragoza is exploring applications of quantum optimization in contexts, both of commercial and scientific interests. For such goals it carries out comparative studies of quantum algorithms of optimization (variational algorithms NISQ, quantum annealers, and qudit type molecular processors) for posterior implementation in model problems like portfolios optimisation. We also analyse non-supervised quantum machine learning algorithms, both of clustering and recommendation, acting on classic data, and quantum algorithms for the classification of quantum states of matter.

abstract = {The nuclear shell model is one of the prime many-body methods to study the structure of atomic nuclei, but it is hampered by an exponential scaling on the basis size as the number of particles increases. We present a shell-model quantum circuit design strategy to find nuclear ground states that circumvents this limitation by exploiting an adaptive variational quantum eigensolver algorithm. Our circuit implementation is in excellent agreement with classical shell-model simulations for a dozen of light and medium-mass nuclei, including neon and calcium isotopes. We quantify the circuit depth, width and number of gates to encode realistic shell-model wavefunctions. Our strategy also addresses explicitly energy measurements and the required number of circuits to perform them. Our simulated circuits approach the benchmark results exponentially with a polynomial scaling in quantum resources for each nucleus and configuration space. Our work paves the way for quantum computing shell-model studies across the nuclear chart.},

abstract = {Quantum entanglement offers a unique perspective into the underlying structure of strongly-correlated systems such as atomic nuclei. In this paper, we use quantum information tools to analyze the structure of light and medium mass berillyum, oxygen, neon and calcium isotopes within the nuclear shell model. We use different entanglement metrics, including single-orbital entanglement, mutual information, and von Neumann entropies for different equipartitions of the shell-model valence space and identify mode/entanglement patterns related to the energy, angular momentum and isospin of the nuclear single-particle orbitals. We observe that the single-orbital entanglement is directly related to the number of valence nucleons and the energy structure of the shell, while the mutual information highlights signatures of proton-proton and neutron-neutron pairing. Proton and neutron orbitals are weakly entangled by all measures, and in fact have the lowest von Neumann entropies among all possible equipartitions of the valence space. In contrast, orbitals with opposite angular momentum projection have relatively large entropies. This analysis provides a guide for designing more efficient quantum algorithms for the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era.},

abstract = {Quantum machine learning is the field that aims to integrate machine learning with quantum computation. In recent years, the field has emerged as an active research area with the potential to bring new insights to classical machine learning problems. One of the challenges in the field is to explore the expressibility of parametrized quantum circuits and their ability to be universal function approximators, as classical neural networks are. Recent works have shown that, with a quantum supervised learning model, we can fit any one-dimensional Fourier series, proving their universality. However, models for multidimensional functions have not been explored in the same level of detail. In this work, we study the expressibility of various types of circuit Ansätze that generate multidimensional Fourier series. We found that, for some Ansätze, the degrees of freedom required for fitting such functions grow faster than the available degrees in the Hilbert space generated by the circuits. For example, single-qudit models have limited power to represent arbitrary multidimensional Fourier series. Despite this, we show that we can enlarge the Hilbert space of the circuit by using more qudits or higher local dimensions to meet the degrees of freedom requirements, thus ensuring the universality of the models.},
