Hi Quanta
We will not meet on Friday because we are celebrating the birthday of our great nation.
However there is a seminar of interest on Thursday with information below. We will meet
on Friday of next week. Happy Fourth.
Best,

Optimization of Quantum Hamiltonian Evolution“
Prof. Apoorva Patel
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
Thursday, July 3rd, 11am
RLE Haus Room (36-428)
Abstract:
Given a quantum Hamiltonian and its evolution time, the corresponding unitary evolution
operator can be constructed in many different ways, corresponding to different
trajectories between the desired end-points. A choice among these trajectories can then be
made to obtain the best computational complexity and control over errors. It is shown how
a construction based on Grover's algorithm scales linearly in time and only
logarithmically in error bound, and is clearly superior to the scheme based on
straightforward application of the Lie-Trotter formula.
