Hamiltonian Open Quantum System Toolkit (HOQST)

ORAL

Abstract

We present an open-source software package called "Hamiltonian Open Quantum System Toolkit" (HOQST), a collection of tools for the investigation of open quantum system dynamics in Hamiltonian quantum computing, including both quantum annealing and the gate-model of quantum computing. It features the key master equations (MEs) used in the field, suitable for describing the reduced system dynamics of an arbitrary time-dependent Hamiltonian with either weak or strong coupling to infinite-dimensional quantum baths. This package is ready to be deployed on high performance clusters (HPC) and aimed at providing reliable open-system analysis tools for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.

*The research is based upon work supported by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), via the U.S. Army Research Office contract W911NF-17-C-0050.
