I am so, so happy to see this article published as a perspective in Nature Communications:

Does provable absence of barren plateaus imply classical simulability? - Nature Communications
There has been growing evidence that strategies to circumvent the barren plateau problem in variational quantum computing might also kill potential quantum advantages. In this Perspective, the authors...

In case you thought you can't efficiently simulate and sample quantum circuits with 2D tensor networks... Nope, you can.

We simulate IBM's recent quantum chemistry experiments and Williow + heavy-hex Heisenberg dynamics, and showcase modern, verifiable techniques.

Last week, we published a paper that really excites me:
"Circuit compression for 2D quantum dynamics"
Using Pauli propagation, we (Matteo) were able to compress Trotter circuits for systems up to 30x30 with depth reductions of x2 to x13.

Retweeting this for the folks (myself included) that weren't online over the long weekend
PauliPropagation.jl is open source library that you can use to approximately simulate quantum circuits
We explain the nitty gritty of how these algorithms work in practise in our latest companion paper

Oh no, tensor networks have out-supremed D-Wave!
In a new preprint arxiv.org/abs/2503.05693, led by Joseph Tindall and Antonio Mello at Flatiron CCQ, we simulate annealing of disordered quantum magnets 🧲 ⌛ and in many cases find better accuracy than recent results from D-Wave devices and leading classical methods (c.f. arxiv.org/abs/2403.00910).
Dynamics of disordered quantum systems with two- and three-dimensional tensor networks
Quantum spin glasses form a good testbed for studying the performance of various quantum annealing and optimization algorithms. In this work we show how two- and three-dimensional tensor networks can ...

Here we take steps to understanding the potential of warm starts for VQAs
We provide a general variance lower bound for patches of loss landscapes:
- for both structured and unstructured circuits
- to provide small-angle-initialization 'guarantees'
- to study the scaling of regions of attraction

New paper on arXiv 🔥
We present a bound that unifies all the previous guarantees of small regions with substantial gradients in BP landscapes. This allows us to study new architectures, parameter correlations, and points on the landscape that could not be analyzed before.

We picked another IBM experiment to benchmark our small-angle Pauli propagation alg.
