New paper on the arxiv from a couple of days ago! scirate.com/arxiv/2606.1... We re-examine the role of warm starts and parameter initialization in variational quantum algorithms. Spoiler: it's not as promising as it seems.

Small angle initialization now comes to quantum generative modeling! 🧵 In this work, we study the MMD loss landscape of quantum circuit Born machines and show the effects of data-dependent and agnostic initializations. scirate.com/arxiv/2603.1... #quantum #quantumcomputing #qml

Preparing approximate ground states has never been hotter 🔥, nor cooler🥶 scirate.com/arxiv/2602.0... In short: we combine warm-started variational quantum circuits with adiabatic principles to show how iterative training strategies can be useful to prepare approximate ground states.

New paper on arXiv 🔥 We present a bound that unifies all the previous guarantees of small regions with substantial gradients in BP landscapes. This allows us to study new architectures, parameter correlations, and points on the landscape that could not be analyzed before. scirate.com/arxiv/2502.0...

Our paper titled Variational Quantum Simulation: A Case Study for Understanding Warm Starts has been published in PRX Quantum 🚀 Short explanation 🧵 or you can find the whole paper here: journals.aps.org/prxquantum/a...

Nature cools things easily but getting a quantum computer to do it is hard! Give us an approx ground state, we present an algorithm that approximates imaginary time evolution to: - Cool that state by an amount proportional to its energy fluctuations - Increase its fidelity with the ground state

New paper on arXiv🔥 How can many-body interactions boost quantum sensing to its limits? We show how to add controlled interactions in many-body probes to reach the highest precision limits in quantum metrology -- both for dynamical and steady states. scirate.com/arxiv/2412.0... #quantum
