A nuclear <-> qubit mapping scheme for shell model calculations on NISQ-era hardware (Sarma & Stevenson, U. Surrey) arxiv.org/abs/2510.02124
Quantum simulation of nuclear shell model: bridging theory and hardware limitations
In this work, we introduce a new qubit mapping strategy for the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) applied to nuclear shell model calculations, where each Slater determinant (SD) is mapped to a qub...

New preprint from Barcelona group, comparing UCC and ADAPT-VQE in nuclear shell model calcualtions arxiv.org/abs/2507.13819
Comparison of variational quantum eigensolvers in light nuclei
Quantum computing is one of the most promising technologies of the near future, and the simulation of quantum many-body systems is a natural application. In this work, we present classical simulations...

New preprint on a method for excited states in the shell model, with a meaningless "ab initio" stuck on the front of the title for good measure arxiv.org/abs/2505.19906
Ab initio many-fermion structure calculations on a quantum computer
To overcome the limitations of existing algorithms for solving self-bound quantum many-body problems -- such as those encountered in nuclear and particle physics -- that access only a restricted subse...

Quantum information studies can give inspiration for simplifications in classical methods - such as in this "weak entanglement approximation for nuclear structure" by Johnson and Gorton arxiv.org/abs/2504.00273
A weak entanglement approximation for nuclear structure: a progress report
We report on a recently proposed approach, inspired by quantum informationtheory, for calculating low-energy nuclear structure in the framework of the configuration-interaction shell-model. Empirical ...

BBC News story on Microsoft's Nature paper claiming realisation of a topological qubit, ft quote from @pdstevenson.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Powerful quantum computers in years not decades, says Microsoft
It says a new chip it has created could end up being as important a breakthrough as the semiconductor.

Hi #quantum folks, does anyone have any favorite examples of non-demolition measurements and links to papers where these have been implemented in practice?

Hi all! This account has been set up to highlight recent results in the area where nuclear physics and quantun computing overlap, broadly speaking.

Here's a first paper to share: A new quantum algorithm for projecting angular moment, applied to deformed HF states: journals.aps.org/prc/abstract...
Simplified projection on total spin zero for state preparation on quantum computers
We introduce a simple algorithm for projecting on $J=0$ states of a many-body system by performing a series of rotations to remove states with angular momentum projections greater than zero. Existing ...
