      Bayesian Optimization of Variational Quantum Eigensolvers 

      Iannelli, Giovanni (Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Σχολή Θετικών και Εφαρμοσμένων Επιστημών / University of Cyprus, Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023)
      The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm used to find the ground state of a Hamiltonian using variational methods. It has a wide range of potential applications, from quantum ...

      Lattice investigation of the scalar mesons a0(980) and κ using four-quark operators 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Daldrop, J. O.; Brida, M. D.; Gravina, M.; Scorzato, L.; Urbach, C.; Wagner, M. (2013)
      We carry out an exploratory study of the isospin one a0(980) and the isospin one-half κ scalar mesons using Nf = 2 + 1 + 1 Wilson twisted mass fermions at one lattice spacing. The valence strange quark is included as an ...

      N-to-Δ electromagnetic-transition form factors from lattice QCD 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; De Forcrand, P.; Neff, H.; Negele, J. W.; Schroers, W.; Tsapalis, Antonios (2005)
      The magnetic dipole (M1), the electric quadrupole (E2), and the Coulomb quadrupole (C2) amplitudes for γN → Δ are calculated in quenched lattice QCD. Using a new method, which combines an optimal choice of interpolating ...

      Topological susceptibility of SU(N) gauge theories at finite temperature 

      Debbio, L. D.; Panagopoulos, Haralambos G.; Vicari, E. (2004)
      We investigate the large-N behavior of the topological susceptibility χ in four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories at finite temperature, and in particular across the finite-temperature transition at Tc. For this purpose, ...

      θ dependence of S U (N) gauge theories in the presence of a topological term 

      Vicari, E.; Panagopoulos, Haralambos G. (2009)
      We review results concerning the θ dependence of 4D S U (N) gauge theories and QCD, where θ is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In particular, we discuss θ dependence in the large-N ...
