The electronic structure problem is one of the main problems in modern theoretical chemistry. While there are many already-established methods both for the problem itself and its applications like semi-classical or quantum dynamics, it…

We present the Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM), an end-to-end generic system for scalable execution of large quantum circuits with high fidelity on noisy and small quantum processors (QPUs) by leveraging gate virtualization. QVM exposes a…

Quantifier elimination (QE) and Craig interpolation (CI) are central to various state-of-the-art automated approaches to hardware and software verification. They are rooted in the Boolean setting and are successful for, e.g., first-order…

Quantum computing has proven to be capable of accelerating many algorithms by performing tasks that classical computers cannot. Currently, Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) machines struggle from scalability and noise issues to render…

Data oriented applications, usually written in a high-level, general-purpose programming language (such as Java) interact with database through a coarse interface. Informally, the text of a query is built on the application side (either via…

Quantum computers are expected to offer substantial speedups over their classical counterparts and to solve problems that are intractable for classical computers. Beyond such practical significance, the concept of quantum computation opens…

Simulating electronic structure on a quantum computer requires encoding of fermionic systems onto qubits. Common encoding methods transform a fermionic system of $N$ spin-orbitals into an $N$-qubit system, but many of the fermionic…
