Our quantum algorithm for a network of oscillators is out. The network can be simulated on a quantum computer with an exponential speedup. We also show an oscillator network of exponential size can simulate a quantum computation. arxiv.org/abs/2303.13012

In quantum computing, if you use a single qubit for measuring phase then the error tends to be large; we've now shown how to make the measurement optimal using just one more qubit. arxiv.org/abs/2303.12503

Some light reading for the weekend, our most recent results on simulation of quantum chemistry with a new Bloch orbital form of tensor hypercontraction. We apply it to battery technology with Lithium Nickel Oxide cathodes. arxiv.org/abs/2302.05531

Our paper on optimal collective measurements is out in Nature Physics. doi.org/10.1038/s41567…

Tomorrow I'm presenting our quantum algorithm for topological data analysis at the AIP Congress. Here is the paper where we explain it in more detail. arxiv.org/abs/2209.13581

Our work on time-dependent differential equations is now on the arXiv, and I am presenting it at the AIP Congress tomorrow. arxiv.org/abs/2212.03544

Our paper with an improved quantum algorithm for topological data analysis is now out. We show that a quantum computer could solve a problem in days that would be beyond the power of supercomputers. arxiv.org/abs/2209.13581

PhD scholarship applications are now open with the SQA. The deadline is 26 September. SQA PhD Scholarships provide a stipend of up to AU$35,000 p.a., access to career development funding and exclusive benefits such as the SQA PhD Experience Program. sydneyquantum.org/program/sqa-ph…

Our paper on quantum algorithms for field theory is now published. dx.doi.org/10.1103/PRXQua…

Our work showing how to perform collective measurements is out now. This is measurements acting jointly on multiple copies of a quantum state, which provides better accuracy than measuring them individually. arxiv.org/abs/2205.15358

We have a new paper out today showing how to use a quantum computer to estimate forces on nuclei in molecules. arxiv.org/abs/2111.12437

We have now worked out an optimal quantum algorithm for solving linear equations, by proving the adiabatic theorem for a quantum walk. This is a result that has applications in a whole host of areas like differential equations. arxiv.org/abs/2111.08152

The paper on quantum algorithms for quantum field theory is out. This one is using a much faster method for preparing the Gaussians, as well as using wavelets for systems that vary over space. arxiv.org/abs/2110.05708

PhD scholarship applications are now open with the SQA. The deadline is 26 September. sydneyquantum.org/program/2021-s…

We have two postdoc positions available in quantum algorithms and quantum control. The closing date for applications is 13 August. For more details and the application forms, see mq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/CareersatMQ/jo… mq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/CareersatMQ/jo…

Our paper on quantum chemistry simulations using tensor hypercontraction is now published in PRX Quantum. It provides the fastest quantum algorithm yet for simulation of molecules. doi.org/10.1103/PRXQua…

We have found a host of new improvements for quantum simulation of quantum chemistry using plane waves (good for crystals), increasing the speed by around a factor of 1000. arxiv.org/abs/2105.12767

Our paper on photonic data locking is now published in the journal Quantum. doi.org/10.22331/q-202… It is a form of quantum key distribution with multiple photons and modes, inspired by Boson Sampling.
