Connecting Ansatz Expressibility to Gradient Magnitudes and Barren Plateaus

Zoë Holmes, Kunal Sharma, M. Cerezo et al. · 24 Jan 2022

Parametrized quantum circuits serve as ansatze for solving variational problems and provide a flexible paradigm for the programming of near-term quantum computers. Ideally, such ansatze should be highly expressive, so that a close approximation of the desired solution can be accessed. On the other hand, the ansatz must also have sufficiently large gradients to allow…

Quantum Simulators: Architectures and Opportunities

Ehud Altman, Kenneth R. Brown, Giuseppe Carleo et al. · 24 Feb 2021

Quantum simulators are a promising technology on the spectrum of quantum devices from specialized quantum experiments to universal quantum computers. These quantum devices utilize entanglement and many-particle behavior to explore and solve hard scientific, engineering, and computational problems. Rapid development over the last two decades has produced more than 300 quantum simulators in operation worldwide…

Development of Quantum Interconnects (QuICs) for Next-Generation Information Technologies

David Awschalom, Karl K. Berggren, Hannes Bernien et al. · 24 Feb 2021

Just as "classical" information technology rests on a foundation built of interconnected informationprocessing systems, quantum information technology (QIT) must do the same. A critical component of such systems is the "interconnect," a device or process that allows transfer of information between disparate physical media, for example, semiconductor electronics, individual atoms, light pulses in optical fiber,…

Compact Ion-Trap Quantum Computing Demonstrator

Ivan Pogorelov, Thomas Feldker, Christian D. Marciniak et al. · 17 Jun 2021

Quantum information processing is steadily progressing from a purely academic discipline towards applications throughout science and industry. Transitioning from lab-based, proof-of-concept experiments to robust, integrated realizations of quantum information processing hardware is an important step in this process. However, the nature of traditional laboratory setups does not offer itself readily to scaling up system sizes…

PRX Quantum template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the PRX Quantum format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the PRX Quantum template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does PRX Quantum use?
PRX Quantum uses Numbered (APS) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, PRX Quantum 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to PRX Quantum?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Physical Society-ready PRX Quantum document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the PRX Quantum template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the PRX Quantum format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is PRX Quantum?
American Physical Society journal (REVTeX 4.2). It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready PRX Quantum PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official PRX Quantum template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to American Physical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the PRX Quantum template cost?
You can start writing in the PRX Quantum template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready PRX Quantum PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
