Orchestrating a stateful application using Operator

Containerization is a leading technological advancement in cloud-native developments. Virtualization isolates the running processes at the bare metal level but containerization isolates the processes at the operating system level. Virtualization encapsulates all the new virtual instances with a new operating system but containerization encapsulates the software only with its dependencies. Containerization avoids the problem of dependency missing between different operating systems and their distributions. The concept of containerization is old but the development of open-source tools like Docker, Kubernetes, and Openshift accelerated the adaption of this technology. Docker builds container images and Openshift or Kubernetes is an Orchestrating tool. For stateful applications, Kubernetes workload resources are not a better option to orchestrate the application, as each resource has its own identity. In such cases, the operator can be built to manage the entire life cycle of resources in the Kubernetes cluster. Operator combines human operational knowledge into software code in a systematic way. The paper discusses the default control mechanism in Kubernetes and then it explains the procedure to build the operator to orchestrate the stateful application.

Low rank representations for quantum simulation of electronic structure

The quantum simulation of quantum chemistry is a promising application of quantum computers. However, for N molecular orbitals, the $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{4})$$ O ( N 4 ) gate complexity of performing Hamiltonian and unitary Coupled Cluster Trotter steps makes simulation based on such primitives challenging. We substantially reduce the gate complexity of such primitives through a two-step low-rank factorization of the Hamiltonian and cluster operator, accompanied by truncation of small terms. Using truncations that incur errors below chemical accuracy allow one to perform Trotter steps of the arbitrary basis electronic structure Hamiltonian with $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{3})$$ O ( N 3 ) gate complexity in small simulations, which reduces to $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{2})$$ O ( N 2 ) gate complexity in the asymptotic regime; and unitary Coupled Cluster Trotter steps with $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{3})$$ O ( N 3 ) gate complexity as a function of increasing basis size for a given molecule. In the case of the Hamiltonian Trotter step, these circuits have $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{2})$$ O ( N 2 ) depth on a linearly connected array, an improvement over the $${\mathcal{O}}({N}^{3})$$ O ( N 3 ) scaling assuming no truncation. As a practical example, we show that a chemically accurate Hamiltonian Trotter step for a 50 qubit molecular simulation can be carried out in the molecular orbital basis with as few as 4000 layers of parallel nearest-neighbor two-qubit gates, consisting of fewer than 105 non-Clifford rotations. We also apply our algorithm to iron–sulfur clusters relevant for elucidating the mode of action of metalloenzymes.

On gω-Open Sets in Grill Topological Spaces

The propose of this paper is to introduce and investigate a weak form of ω-open set in grill topological spaces. We introduce the notion of -open set as a form stronger than βω-open set and weaker than ω-open set and -open set. By using this form, we study the generalization property, the interior operator, closure operator and θ-cluster operator.

Relativistic Fock Space Coupled Cluster Method for Many-Electron Systems: Non-Perturbative Account for Connected Triple Excitations

The Fock space relativistic coupled cluster method (FS-RCC) is one of the most promising tools of electronic structure modeling for atomic and molecular systems containing heavy nuclei. Until recently, capabilities of the FS-RCC method were severely restricted by the fact that only single and double excitations in the exponential parametrization of the wave operator were considered. We report the design and the first computer implementation of FS-RCC schemes with full and simplified non-perturbative account for triple excitations in the cluster operator. Numerical stability of the new computational scheme and thus its applicability to a wide variety of molecular electronic states is ensured using the dynamic shift technique combined with the extrapolation to zero-shift limit. Pilot applications to atomic (Tl, Pb) and molecular (TlH) systems reported in the paper indicate that the breakthrough in accuracy and predictive power of the electronic structure calculations for heavy-element compounds can be achieved. Moreover, the described approach can provide a firm basis for high-precision modeling of heavy molecular systems with several open shells, including actinide compounds.
