Toward Quantum Advantage in Quantum Simulation featuring Sophia Economou | ASU Knowledge Enterprise
Channel: Arizona State University Research
Date: 01/11/2022

Quantum simulation of chemistry and other many-particle quantum systems is one of the most interesting applications of quantum computers and a candidate for the first demonstration of a useful quantum advantage. Near term algorithms, including variational quantum eigensolvers, constitute a promising path toward that goal. In this talk at Arizona State University Sophia Economou, founding director of the Virginia Tech Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering, gives an overview of the elements that enter quantum simulation and focuses on her work on adaptive problem-tailored algorithms.

Hosted by Sean Dudley, assistant vice president and chief research information officer, Research Technology, ASU Knowledge Enterprise
