Summary: The partition function is essential in statistical mechanics and accurately computing it is crucial for analyzing quantum systems. This paper presents a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that estimates the partition function using a novel quantum Clifford sampling technique. Compared to previous methods, the algorithm requires shallower quantum circuit depth, making it suitable for currently available noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

Summary: Contemporary quantum computers suffer from high levels of noise, hindering useful calculations. A proposed technique called virtual distillation can reduce errors by entangling and measuring multiple noisy states, improving accuracy without explicitly preparing the state. This approach shows significant error suppression, particularly as system size increases, and enhances the convergence of quantum algorithms even in noise-free environments.

Summary: Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are a mainstream approach in the quantum machine learning field and considered one of the most promising applications for quantum computing. However, inefficient training methods hinder the progress of VQAs. This study introduces a pretraining strategy called near Clifford circuits warm start (NCC-WS) to find the initialization for parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs) in VQAs. The results indicate that NCC-WS can achieve acceleration by finding the correct initialization for VQA training.

Summary: The article introduces a standard approach to quantum computing by promoting a set of classical operations to a universal set with the addition of magic quantum states, and introduces a new concept of quantum-assisted robustness of magic (QROM) to measure the value of magic resources. The QROM technique shows how adding noisy magic resources can enhance classical quasiprobability simulations of a quantum circuit.

Summary: Quantum computing offers advantages over classical computing, but noise in quantum devices hinders most quantum algorithms from achieving their potential. Quantum error mitigation protocols handle this noise using minimal qubit resources. This paper applies statistics principles to analyze the scaling behavior of intrinsic error in quantum error mitigation, finding that error increases linearly before mitigation and sublinearly after mitigation, indicating that error mitigation is more effective in larger circuits. The importance Clifford sampling technique is proposed as a key method for error mitigation in large circuits to achieve this result.

Summary: In this paper, the construction of quantum circuits for the SM4 block cipher using different gate sets is investigated. Reversible circuits for the SM4 S-box are constructed using the NCT gate set, and two circuits are designed using the Clifford+T gates. A new in-place implementation for the linear transformation is proposed. The results show that the circuits designed in this study have lower qubit consumption and T.M value than existing implementations.

Summary: Despite the rapid developments in quantum hardware, noise remains a major challenge for practical applications of near-term quantum devices. This article introduces the concept of symmetry expansion, which utilizes inherent symmetry within physical problems to achieve error mitigation and balance between estimation bias and sampling cost.Certain symmetry expansion schemes can achieve smaller estimation bias than symmetry verification through cancellation between biases due to detectable and undetectable noise components.

Summary: Quantum computing is a transformative technology with broad applications, but the development of a fully mature quantum computer is still a long-term goal. In the meantime, near-term quantum devices with noise and limited qubits are being utilized, and various techniques like variational quantum algorithms and error mitigation are being developed to enhance their capabilities and enable useful applications. Efficient classical simulation also plays a crucial role in quantum algorithm design and verification. This review provides an introduction to these near-term quantum computing techniques, reports on their progress, and discusses their future prospects.

Summary: Quantum error mitigation (QEM) is essential for reliable results on quantum computers, especially in the noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) era. Combining QEM with quantum-classical hybrid schemes shows promise for practical quantum advantages. The study introduces the variational quantum-neural hybrid eigensolver (VQNHE) algorithm, which combines a parameterized quantum circuit with a neural network and has inherent noise resilience and unique QEM capacity. The study analyzes the scaling of this unique QEM capacity in VQNHE and proposes a variational basis transformation for enhanced error mitigation.

Summary: Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) have received attention for their potential quantum advantage, but more research is needed on their scalability. This study proposes a framework using quantum optimal control to diagnose the presence of barren plateaus in problem-inspired ansatzes and proves that avoiding barren plateaus is not guaranteed for these ansatzes. The results provide a framework for trainability-aware ansatz design strategies without extra quantum resources and establish a link between barren plateaus and the scaling of the dimension of g.

Summary: The proposed method, variable-noise Clifford data regression (vnCDR), outperforms popular error mitigation methods ZNE and CDR in numerical benchmarks by first generating training data using near-Clifford circuits and varying noise levels, and then applying a noise model obtained from IBM's Ourense quantum computer. In the problem of estimating energy of an 8-qubit Ising model system, vnCDR improves absolute energy error by a factor of 33 compared to unmitigated results, and by factors of 20 and 1.8 compared to ZNE and CDR, respectively. In correcting observables from random quantum circuits with 64 qubits, vnCDR improves error by factors of 2.7 and 1.5 compared to ZNE and CDR, respectively.

Summary: The study explores the phase transition behavior of the Shastry-Sutherland model in a magnetic field at finite temperature using a two-dimensional infinite projected entangled pair state tensor network. The simulation involves both simple update and full update schemes to capture the evolution at different temperature ranges, with improved critical temperature estimation through the introduction of a symmetry-breaking bias field. The results suggest that the transition belongs to the universality class of the two-dimensional classical Ising model, with an estimated critical temperature of 3.5(2) K.
