Resolution enhancement of one-dimensional molecular wavefunctions in plane-wave basis via quantum machine learning
Super-resolution is a machine-learning technique in image processing which
generates high-resolution images from low-resolution images. Inspired by this
approach, we perform a numerical experiment of quantum machine learning, which
takes low-resolution (low plane-wave energy cutoff) one-particle molecular
wavefunctions in plane-wave basis as input and generates high-resolution (high
plane-wave energy cutoff) wavefunctions in fictitious one-dimensional systems,
and study the performance of different learning models. We show that the
trained models can generate wavefunctions having higher fidelity values with
respect to the ground-truth wavefunctions than a simple linear interpolation,
and the results can be improved both qualitatively and quantitatively by
including data-dependent information in the ansatz. On the other hand, the
accuracy of the current approach deteriorates for wavefunctions calculated in
electronic configurations not included in the training dataset. We also discuss
the generalization of this approach to many-body electron wavefunctions.Comment: 13 pages, 18 figure
Quantum Gate Pattern Recognition and Circuit Optimization for Scientific Applications
There is no unique way to encode a quantum algorithm into a quantum circuit.
With limited qubit counts, connectivities, and coherence times, circuit
optimization is essential to make the best use of near-term quantum devices. We
introduce two separate ideas for circuit optimization and combine them in a
multi-tiered quantum circuit optimization protocol called AQCEL. The first
ingredient is a technique to recognize repeated patterns of quantum gates,
opening up the possibility of future hardware co-optimization. The second
ingredient is an approach to reduce circuit complexity by identifying zero- or
low-amplitude computational basis states and redundant gates. As a
demonstration, AQCEL is deployed on an iterative and efficient quantum
algorithm designed to model final state radiation in high energy physics. For
this algorithm, our optimization scheme brings a significant reduction in the
gate count without losing any accuracy compared to the original circuit.
Additionally, we have investigated whether this can be demonstrated on a
quantum computer using polynomial resources. Our technique is generic and can
be useful for a wide variety of quantum algorithms.Comment: 22 pages, 16 figure
Fast convolutional neural networks on FPGAs with hls4ml
We introduce an automated tool for deploying ultra low-latency, low-power
deep neural networks with convolutional layers on FPGAs. By extending the
hls4ml library, we demonstrate an inference latency of s using
convolutional architectures, targeting microsecond latency applications like
those at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Considering benchmark models trained
on the Street View House Numbers Dataset, we demonstrate various methods for
model compression in order to fit the computational constraints of a typical
FPGA device used in trigger and data acquisition systems of particle detectors.
In particular, we discuss pruning and quantization-aware training, and
demonstrate how resource utilization can be significantly reduced with little
to no loss in model accuracy. We show that the FPGA critical resource
consumption can be reduced by 97% with zero loss in model accuracy, and by 99%
when tolerating a 6% accuracy degradation.Comment: 18 pages, 18 figures, 4 table
Search for Pair-Produced Resonances Decaying to Quark Pairs in Proton-Proton Collisions at âs = 13ââTeV
A general search for the pair production of resonances, each decaying to two quarks, is reported. The search is conducted separately for heavier resonances (masses above 400 GeV), where each of the four final-state quarks generates a hadronic jet resulting in a four-jet signature, and for lighter resonances (masses between 80 and 400 GeV), where the pair of quarks from each resonance is collimated and reconstructed as a single jet resulting in a two-jet signature. In addition, a b-tagged selection is applied to target resonances with a bottom quark in the final state. The analysis uses data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9ââfbâ»Âč, from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The mass spectra are analyzed for the presence of new resonances, and are found to be consistent with standard model expectations. The results are interpreted in the framework of R-parity-violating supersymmetry assuming the pair production of scalar top quarks decaying via the hadronic coupling λâČâČ312 or λâČâČ323 and upper limits on the cross section as a function of the top squark mass are set. These results probe a wider range of masses than previously explored at the LHC, and extend the top squark mass limits in the ËtâqqâČ scenario
Search for electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos in multilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at âs = 13 TeV
Results are presented from a search for the direct electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos in signatures with either two or more leptons (electrons or muons) of the same electric charge, or with three or more leptons, which can include up to two hadronically decaying tau leptons. The results are based on a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at sâ=13 TeV, recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fbâ»Âč. The observed event yields are consistent with the expectations based on the standard model. The results are interpreted in simplified models of supersymmetry describing various scenarios for the production and decay of charginos and neutralinos. Depending on the model parameters chosen, mass values between 180 GeV and 1150 GeV are excluded at 95% CL. These results significantly extend the parameter space probed for these particles in searches at the LHC. In addition, results are presented in a form suitable for alternative theoretical interpretations
Search for Standard Model Production of Four Top Quarks with Same-Sign and Multilepton Final States in Protonâproton Collisions at âs = 13 TeV
A search for standard model production of four top quarks (ttÂŻttÂŻ) is reported using events containing at least three leptons (e,ÎŒ) or a same-sign lepton pair. The events are produced in protonâproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV at the LHC, and the data sample, recorded in 2016, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb[superscript â1]. Jet multiplicity and flavor are used to enhance signal sensitivity, and dedicated control regions are used to constrain the dominant backgrounds. The observed and expected signal significances are, respectively, 1.6 and 1.0 standard deviations, and the ttÂŻttÂŻ cross section is measured to be 16.9[superscript +13.8][subscript â11.4] fb, in agreement with next-to-leading-order standard model predictions. These results are also used to constrain the Yukawa coupling between the top quark and the Higgs boson to be less than 2.1 times its expected standard model value at 95% confidence level
Measurement of the transverse momentum spectrum of the Higgs boson produced in pp collisions at âs=8 TeV using H â WW decays
The cross section for Higgs boson production in pp collisions is studied using the H â W[superscript +]W[superscript â] decay mode, followed by leptonic decays of the W bosons to an oppositely charged electron-muon pair in the final state. The measurements are performed using data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.4 fb[superscript â1]. The Higgs boson transverse momentum (p[subscript T]) is reconstructed using the lepton pair p[subscript T] and missing p[subscript T]. The differential cross section times branching fraction is measured as a function of the Higgs boson pTin a fiducial phase space defined to match the experimental acceptance in terms of the lepton kinematics and event topology. The production cross section times branching fraction in the fiducial phase space is measured to be 39 ± 8 (stat) ± 9 (syst) fb. The measurements are found to agree, within experimental uncertainties, with theoretical calculations based on the standard model.
