We show how to apply the quantum adiabatic algorithm directly to the quantum computation of molecular properties. We describe a procedure to map electronic structure Hamiltonians to 2-body qubit Hamiltonians with a small set of physically realizable couplings. By combining the Bravyi-Kitaev construction to map fermions to qubits with perturbative gadgets to reduce the Hamiltonian to 2-body, we ...

This report aims at presenting the research program and to review the literature describing quantum computing, quantum fault tolerance issues and classical fault injection. Thus, previous work is presented together with future research directions. The proposed PhD research program aims at developing a methodology for simulation based fault injection for quantum circuits. Through simulation, I o...

Quantum computing proposes quantum algorithms exponentially faster than their classical analogues when executed by a quantum computer. As quantum computers are currently unavailable for general use, one approach for analyzing the behavior and results of such algorithms is the simulation using classical computers. As this simulation is inefficient due to the exponential growth of the temporal an...
