Abstract

Engineered dissipative reservoirs have the potential to steer many-body quantum systems toward correlated steady states useful for quantum simulation of high-temperature superconductivity or quantum magnetism. Using up to 49 superconducting qubits, we prepared low-energy states of the transverse-field Ising model through coupling to dissipative auxiliary qubits. In one dimension, we observed long-range quantum correlations and a ground-state fidelity of 0.86 for 18 qubits at the critical point. In two dimensions, we found mutual information that extends beyond nearest neighbors. Lastly, by coupling the system to auxiliaries emulating reservoirs with different chemical potentials, we explored transport in the quantum Heisenberg model. Our results establish engineered dissipation as a scalable alternative to unitary evolution for preparing entangled many-body states on noisy quantum processors.

Abstract

Undesired coupling to the surrounding environment destroys long-range correlations on quantum processors and hinders the coherent evolution in the nominally available computational space. This incoherent noise is an outstanding challenge to fully leverage the computation power of near-term quantum processors. It has been shown that benchmarking Random Circuit Sampling (RCS) with Cross-Entropy Benchmarking (XEB) can provide a reliable estimate of the effective size of the Hilbert space coherently available. The extent to which the presence of noise can trivialize the outputs of a given quantum algorithm, i.e. making it spoofable by a classical computation, is an unanswered question. Here, by implementing an RCS algorithm we demonstrate experimentally that there are two phase transitions observable with XEB, which we explain theoretically with a statistical model. The first is a dynamical transition as a function of the number of cycles and is the continuation of the anti-concentration point in the noiseless case. The second is a quantum phase transition controlled by the error per cycle; to identify it analytically and experimentally, we create a weak link model which allows varying the strength of noise versus coherent evolution. Furthermore, by presenting an RCS experiment with 67 qubits at 32 cycles, we demonstrate that the computational cost of our experiment is beyond the capabilities of existing classical supercomputers, even when accounting for the inevitable presence of noise. Our experimental and theoretical work establishes the existence of transitions to a stable computationally complex phase that is reachable with current quantum processors.

Abstract

An important measure of the development of quantum computing platforms has been the simulation of increasingly complex physical systems. Prior to fault-tolerant quantum computing, robust error mitigation strategies are necessary to continue this growth. Here, we study physical simulation within the seniority-zero electron pairing subspace, which affords both a computational stepping stone to a fully correlated model, and an opportunity to validate recently introduced ``purification-based'' error-mitigation strategies. We compare the performance of error mitigation based on doubling quantum resources in time (echo verification) or in space (virtual distillation), on up to $20$ qubits of a superconducting qubit quantum processor. We observe a reduction of error by one to two orders of magnitude below less sophisticated techniques (e.g. post-selection); the gain from error mitigation is seen to increase with the system size. Employing these error mitigation strategies enables the implementation of the largest variational algorithm for a correlated chemistry system to-date. Extrapolating performance from these results allows us to estimate minimum requirements for a beyond-classical simulation of electronic structure. We find that, despite the impressive gains from purification-based error mitigation, significant hardware improvements will be required for classically intractable variational chemistry simulations., Comment: 10 pages, 13 page supplementary material, 12 figures.

Using 49 superconducting qubits, we prepare low-energy states of the transverse-field Ising model via coupling to dissipative auxiliary qubits. In 1D, we observe long-range quantum correlations and a ground state fidelity that depends weakly on system sizes. In 2D, we find mutual information that extends beyond nearest neighbors. Lastly, by coupling the system to auxiliaries emulating reservoirs with different chemical potentials, we discover a new spin transport regime in the quantum Heisenberg model. Our results establish engineered dissipation as a scalable alternative to unitary evolution for preparing entangled many-body states on noisy quantum processors, and an essential tool for investigating nonequilibrium quantum phenomena.

Abstract

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of bottom gate thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on a sol-gel derived ZnO channel layer. The effect of annealing of ZnO active channel layers on the electrical characteristics of the ZnO TFTs was systematically investigated. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra indicate that the crystal quality of the ZnO improves with increasing annealing temperature. Both the device turn-on voltage (Von) and threshold voltage (VT) shift to a positive voltage with increasing annealing temperature. As the annealing temperature is increased, both the subthreshold slope and the interfacial defect density (Dit) decrease. The field effect mobility (μFET) increases with annealing temperature, peaking at 800 °C and decreases upon further temperature increase. An improvement in transfer and output characteristics was observed with increasing annealing temperature. However, when the annealing temperature reaches 900 °C, the TFTs demonstrate a large degradation in both transfer and output characteristics, which is possibly produced by non-continuous coverage of the film. By using the temperature-dependent field effect measurements, the localized sub-gap density of states (DOSs) for ZnO TFTs with different annealing temperatures were determined. The DOSs for the subthreshold regime decrease with increasing annealing temperature from 600 °C to 800 °C and no substantial change was observed with further temperature increase to 900 °C.

Abstract

Various stripline structures and flip chip interconnect designs for high-speed digital communication systems implemented in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) substrates are studied in this paper. Specifically, two different transition designs from edge launch 2.4 millimeter connectors to stripline transmission lines embedded in LTCC are discussed. After characterizing the DuPont (sup trademark) 9K7 green tape, different designs are proposed to improve signal integrity for high-speed digital data. The full-wave simulations and experimental data validate the presented designs over a broad frequency band from Direct Current to 50 gigahertz and beyond.

Abstract

Electrocardiograph (ECG) criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are a widely used clinical tool. We recalibrated six ECG criteria for LVH against gold-standard cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and assessed the impact of obesity. One hundred and fifty consecutive tertiary hypertension clinic referrals for CMR (1.5 T) were reviewed. Patients with cardiac pathology potentially confounding hypertensive LVH were excluded (n=22). The final sample size was 128 (age: 51.0±15.2 years, 48% male). LVH was defined by CMR. From a 12-lead ECG, Sokolow–Lyon voltage and product, Cornell voltage and product, Gubner–Ungerleidger voltage and Romhilt–Estes score were evaluated, blinded to the CMR. ECG diagnostic performance was calculated. LVH by CMR was present in 37% and obesity in 51%. Obesity significantly reduced ECG sensitivity, because of significant attenuation in mean ECG values for Cornell voltage (22.2±5.7 vs 26.4±9.4 mm, P<0.05), Cornell product (2540±942 vs 3023±1185 mm • ms, P<0.05) and for Gubner–Ungerleider voltage (18.2±7.1 vs 23.3±1.2 mm, P<0.05). Obesity also significantly reduced ECG specificity, because of significantly higher prevalence of LV remodeling (no LVH but increased mass-to-volume ratio) in obese subjects without LVH (36% vs 16%, P<0.05), which correlated with higher mean ECG LVH criteria values. Obesity-specific partition values were generated at fixed 95% specificity; Cornell voltage had highest sensitivity in non-obese (56%) and Sokolow–Lyon product in obese patients (24%). Obesity significantly lowers ECG sensitivity at detecting LVH, by attenuating ECG LVH values, and lowers ECG specificity through changes associated with LV remodeling. Our obesity-specific ECG partition values could improve the diagnostic performance in obese patients with hypertension.

32. Field-Effect Mobility of Organic Polymer Thin-Film Transistors

Author

Hamilton, M. C., Martin, S., and Kanicki, J.

Abstract

We present a method of extracting the field-effect mobility from the transfer characteristics of organic polymer thin-film transistors (OP-TFTs), in both the linear and saturation regimes, by accounting for the dependence of the mobility on the gate bias, which translates to a dependence on the accumulated density of majority charge carriers in the channel. This method is compared to the commonly used extraction methods, which are based on the standard MOSFET square-law drain current equations that do not account for the variation of mobility with the applied gate bias. We show that by using the standard MOSFET equations, the extracted field-effect mobility can be significantly overestimated. We also demonstrate the use of the proposed method to extract the field-effect mobility at different measurement temperatures and present the dependence of the extracted parameters on temperature.

Abstract

Quantum phase-slips, which are the exact duals of Josephson junctions (JJs), are promising for several applications in classical and quantum superconducting electronic circuits. The experimental testing of the phase-slip phenomena and identifying these applications has been challenging. In this reported work, the use of a dual to a JJ model to implement a SPICE model of a quantum phase-slip junction (QPSJ) in JSPICE3, in order to explore possible circuit applications, is demonstrated. A transient analysis model of the device is presented and an example of an I-V curve simulation of the device, along with a simulation of a possible circuit application of the device, are also shown.

Abstract

Reverse-time chaos can be used to realise hardware chaotic systems that can operate at speeds equivalent to existing state-of-the-art while requiring significantly less complex circuitry. Unlike traditional chaotic systems, which require significant analogue hardware that is difficult to realise at high speed, the reverse-time system can be realised with a field programmable gate array calculating a digital iterated map. The resulting output forgoes the need for digital-to-analogue conversion by directly driving a series RLC filter. Since the dynamics of this system are determined by an iterated map, precise control of this system is possible by adjusting the map's initial condition. Hardware results for the controllable reverse-time system demonstrate chaotic behaviour at an operating frequency of 1.8 MHz and show promise for extension to higher frequencies.

Abstract

Characterisation results of the complex permittivity of select dielectric cooling fluids at room temperature and over a broad frequency range found using a low-loss printed circuit board microstrip ring resonator technique are presented. ANSYS HFSS, a finite-element full-wave electromagnetic simulation environment, was used to fit the simulated insertion loss to the calibrated measurements of the microstrip ring resonator in air and submerged in different dielectric fluids. The resulting frequency-dependent relative permittivity and loss tangent are provided up to 50 GHz for three dielectric cooling fluids: 3M™ Novec™ 649, 3M™ Novec™ HFE-7100 and 3M™ Fluorinert™ FC-72.

Abstract

A resistive switching behaviour of printed, flexible Cu/CuO/(AgO)/Ag memristor devices is demonstrated for the first time. It is suggested that the high resistance state and low resistance state of bipolar resistive switching behaviour are governed by the migration of oxygen between the copper oxide and silver oxide layers. The devices have characteristics of inexpensive low-temperature fabrication, low-power operation and no required electroforming process. Ink-jet printing was used to fabricate the devices on polymer substrates. Since these devices are fabricated on flexible polyimide, they have compatibility with flexible electronic technologies.

Abstract

Understanding universal aspects of quantum dynamics is an unresolved problem in statistical mechanics. In particular, the spin dynamics of the one-dimensional Heisenberg model were conjectured as to belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class based on the scaling of the infinite-temperature spin-spin correlation function. In a chain of 46 superconducting qubits, we studied the probability distribution of the magnetization transferred across the chain's center, [Formula: see text]. The first two moments of [Formula: see text] show superdiffusive behavior, a hallmark of KPZ universality. However, the third and fourth moments ruled out the KPZ conjecture and allow for evaluating other theories. Our results highlight the importance of studying higher moments in determining dynamic universality classes and provide insights into universal behavior in quantum systems.

Abstract

Engineered dissipative reservoirs have the potential to steer many-body quantum systems toward correlated steady states useful for quantum simulation of high-temperature superconductivity or quantum magnetism. Using up to 49 superconducting qubits, we prepared low-energy states of the transverse-field Ising model through coupling to dissipative auxiliary qubits. In one dimension, we observed long-range quantum correlations and a ground-state fidelity of 0.86 for 18 qubits at the critical point. In two dimensions, we found mutual information that extends beyond nearest neighbors. Lastly, by coupling the system to auxiliaries emulating reservoirs with different chemical potentials, we explored transport in the quantum Heisenberg model. Our results establish engineered dissipation as a scalable alternative to unitary evolution for preparing entangled many-body states on noisy quantum processors.

Abstract

Aim: To compare the thoracic vascular opacification achieved using the standard bolus-tracking protocol (BTP) with a fixed-timing protocol (FTP) with a modified breathing instruction during computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations., Materials and Methods: A single-centre review of CTPA examinations performed between July 2018 and January 2019 using the BTP or FTP and weight-based contrast dosing of 20 mg iodine/kg body weight/s for 20 seconds at 100 kV tube potential. Radiodensity (in Hounsfield units) was analysed in the right ventricle, main pulmonary artery (MPA), left atrium, left ventricle, and ascending and descending thoracic aorta (DTA). A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant., Results: Of 782 examinations, 88 BTP and 90 FTP examinations were included. Mean attenuation of the MPA was similar in the FTP (396 ± 106 HU) and BTP (362 ± 119 HU; p=0.06); however, good-quality (≥250 HU) MPA opacification was achieved in more FTP examinations (87/90, 96.7%) compared to the BTP (73/88, 82.9%; p=0.002). Mean attenuation of the DTA was better in the FTP (325 ± 72 HU) than the BTP (228 ± 75 HU; p <0.0001), with good-quality opacification (≥250 HU) in 76/90 (84.4%) FTP examinations compared with 36/88 (40.9%) BTP examinations (p <0.001)., Conclusion: The FTP achieves better opacification of the MPA and DTA compared to the BTP., (Copyright © 2022 The Royal College of Radiologists.

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the impact of computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR CT ) compared to the anatomical Coronary Artery Disease - Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) in the elective assessment of coronary artery disease in real-world cardiology practise., Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of 1,239 coronary CT examinations from August 2018 to December 2019 with a minimum follow-up period of 1 year. Coronary disease was classified according to the CAD-RADS system. A non-occlusive ≥30% maximum diameter stenosis was considered eligible for FFR CT . Lesion-specific FFR CT and FFR were considered positive if ≤ 0.80. The patients were followed up using the hospital radiology information system and the electronic patient record. A positive outcome was defined by a subsequent invasive angiogram (ICA) showing disease requiring revascularisation or FFR ≤0.80 or a positive stress test or medical therapy for angina in CAD-RADS 4., Results: Of the 1,145 analysable studies (mean follow up 618 ± 153 days) the incidence of a positive result was 7% with a 5.4% elective revascularisation rate. Two hundred and forty-five patients (CAD-RADS 2-4) had FFR CT . FFR CT reduced the accuracy of the CAD-RADS grade from 91% to 78.4% (p<0.001). In CAD-RADS 2, the accuracy is reduced from 99% to 90.7% (p=0.005), and in CAD-RADS 3 from 93.9% to 67.7% (p<0.001). In CAD-RADS 4, FFR CT increases accuracy from 69.4% to 75.5% (p=0.025), but 89.8% of FFR CT are positive and specificity is low (26.7%)., Conclusion: In the present "real-world" practise, FFR CT does not improve standard radiological assessment of coronary disease graded by the CAD-RADS alone., (Crown Copyright © 2022.

Abstract

Aim: To assess improvement in arterial opacification by optimising the contrast medium dosing protocol for computed tomography (CT) prior to trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)., Materials and Methods: A wide variation in arterial opacification was observed in the initial CT TAVI protocol (standard protocol). The practice was optimised by considering the time required for the examination and optimising contrast medium flux. This became the optimised protocol with a 30-second contrast medium bolus of iodine flux 15-19 mg iodine/kg body weight/second (mg/kg/s). Attenuation (mean HU) in (a) the ascending aorta (gated systolic acquisition) and (b) the ascending, descending thoracic (at carina), infra-renal abdominal aorta, and right common iliac artery (non-gated acquisition) was measured. Thirty-one sequential optimised examinations were compared to 31 prior standard protocol examinations., Results: There was no difference between the standard and optimised groups regarding age, sex, weight, body mass index (BMI), or voltage. The mean bolus durations were 24.9±4.4 seconds for the standard and 30±0.3 seconds for the optimised protocols (p<0.001). Although there was no difference in the attenuation in the gated ascending aorta (p>0.99), there was improvement at all other anatomical points in the non-gated examinations of the optimised protocol (p<0.002)., Conclusion: Optimising contrast medium flux and matching bolus duration to the CT technology dramatically improves the vascular access component of TAVI planning and provides a reliable method to achieve objectively enhanced arterial opacification. This work highlights how to obtain good arterial contrast medium opacification in haemodynamically fragile patients without excessive contrast medium volumes., (Copyright © 2022 The Royal College of Radiologists.
