[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Group meeting, Thu Aug 4, 3:30 PM, Div Room

by Ian Kivlichan

Hi all, Tomorrow at group meeting we have Dr. Dominic Berry from Macquarie University speaking (usual time and place). See below for his title and abstract. See you there, Ian ----------------- Speaker: Dominic Berry Title: Corrections for more accurate Hamiltonian simulation Abstract: Hamiltonian simulation is a very promising area of quantum algorithms where quantum computers can provide a dramatic speedup over classical computers. Until recently, all algorithms had poor scaling in the allowable error. New algorithms allow for complexity scaling logarithmically in the allowable error. One is based on implementing a Taylor series, and another is based on a superposition of different numbers of steps of a quantum walk. These algorithms are still somewhat suboptimal because the complexity has a multiplying factor that is logarithmic in the allowable error, whereas the lower bound has an additive factor. We have now developed general ways of correcting these algorithms, eliminating the multiplying factor, and giving an additive factor that is similar to the lower bound up to double-logarithmic factors.

[Aspuru-Guzik Group List] Software tutorial again - now with docker! Thursday 1pm

by Tim Hirzel

Hello group, For those who missed the last one, or who loved it so much they want to do it again, I will be doing the software tutorial again this Thursday from 1pm to 4pm in CV27. This time will be a little different because the docker container is now setup and we will attempt to get everyone up and running on their laptops and stepping through the tutorial themselves. Mac, linux, and windows boxes are all welcome to join. Best, Tim
