Experimental test of search range in quantum annealing (2021)
Journal Article
Chancellor, N., & Kendon, V. (2021). Experimental test of search range in quantum annealing. Physical Review A, 104(1), Article 012604. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.104.012604

We construct an Ising Hamiltonian with an engineered energy landscape such that it has a local energy minimum which is near the true global minimum solution and further away from a false minimum. Using a technique established in previous experiments,... Read More about Experimental test of search range in quantum annealing.

The challenge and opportunities of quantum literacy for future education and transdisciplinary problem-solving (2021)
Journal Article
Nita, L., Mazzoli Smith, L., Chancellor, N., & Cramman, H. (2023). The challenge and opportunities of quantum literacy for future education and transdisciplinary problem-solving. Research in Science and Technological Education, 41(2), 564-580. https://doi.org/10.1080/02635143.2021.1920905

Background Knowledge of quantum computing is arguably inaccessible to many, with knowledge of the complex mathematics involving a particular barrier to entry, creating difficulty in terms of teaching and inclusive learning for those without a high le...

Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing (2021)
Journal Article
Callison, A., Festenstein, M., Chen, J., Nita, L., Kendon, V., & Chancellor, N. (2021). Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing. PRX Quantum, 2(1), Article 010338. https://doi.org/10.1103/prxquantum.2.010338

There are well-developed theoretical tools to analyze how quantum dynamics can solve computational problems by varying Hamiltonian parameters slowly, near the adiabatic limit. On the other hand, there are relatively few tools to understand the opposi... Read More about Energetic Perspective on Rapid Quenches in Quantum Annealing.

Quantum computing for quantum tunneling (2021)
Journal Article
Abel, S., Chancellor, N., & Spannowsky, M. (2021). Quantum computing for quantum tunneling. Physical Review D, 103(1), Article 016008. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.103.016008

We demonstrate how quantum field theory problems can be practically encoded by using a discretization of the field theory problem into a general Ising model, with the continuous field values being encoded into Ising spin chains. To illustrate the met... Read More about Quantum computing for quantum tunneling.
