What are the rules that map the second-quantized fermionic Hamiltonian into spin-form in OpenFermion?
We can use OpenFermion to get the molecular Hamiltonian in the form of:
$$H = \sum_{pq} h_{pq} a_p^\dagger a_q + \frac12 \sum_{pqrs} h_{pqrs} a_p^\dagger a_q^\dagger a_r a_s$$
and we can also use the ...

How to apply unitary coupled cluster to a spin problem?
I understand how to apply UCC to a problem formulated in a second-quantized (fermion) form: you start with some state and then create a unitary operator out of single-body (or double-, triple- and so ...

Can one make NV centred type qubits from analogus materials in the periodic table?
Can one replace Nitrogen with Phosphorus and Carbon with Silicon and so on?
What would be the conditions that would preclude such a realisation? Are there any implemenations so far?

Rabi oscillations with different energy differences
Please check this Rabi oscillations image1:
Now, let's say I want to create a superposition of E1 and E2, so I started an EM field tuned to a frequency related to E2-E1. But, let's say there is ...

Hamiltonian of the valence electron of Yb+ ion
Let's say I have chosen the valence electron of Yb+ as my qubit. I want to consider it's hyperfine structure as the two-level energy states.
Are my following assumptions correct?
If the magnetic ...

Spin precession using a laser
According to Christopher Monroe: "Modular Ion Trap Quantum Networks: Going Big", the hyperfine states of the valence electron in the Yb+ is used as a qubit. I know that we can change the spin ...

Electronic structure calculations and the Ising model: practical?
I was reading this paper which introduces a mapping from a qubit Hamiltonian to an Ising model. Firstly, the first step of the mapping seems to assume that we know an eigenstate of the system (correct ...

What set of quantum logical operations can one use to benchmark spin Hamiltonians?
Chemistry background: In magnetic molecules, it is sometimes the case that one can adjust the time-independent Hamiltonian by chemical design. This means there is freedom to adjust parameters in the ...
