Holonomic Quantum Computation (HQC) is an all-geometrical approach to quantum information processing. In the HQC strategy information is encoded in degenerate eigen-spaces of a parametric family of Hamiltonians. The computational network of…
The linear complementarity problem (LCP) is a general set membership problem that includes quadratic cone programming as a special case. In this work we consider a homogeneous embedding of the LCP, which encodes both the optimality…

We propose a Jacobi-style distributed algorithm to solve convex, quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs), which arise from a broad range of applications. While small to medium-sized convex QCQPs can be solved efficiently by…
When a quantum system is driven adiabatically through a parametric cycle in a degenerate Hilbert space, the state would acquire a non-Abelian geometric phase, which is stable and forms the foundation for holonomic quantum computation (HQC).…
