Hi Everyone, This week Sarah will be presenting group meeting. We'll meet in the Division Room at our regular time of 2:30pm. An abstract and title for Sarah's talk is provided below. =================================== Applications for Digital Quantum Simulators =================================== Problems associated with quantum many-body systems are notoriously difficult to solve even with modern digital computers. Feynman envisioned an approach to solve these problems by using one quantum system as a platform for simulating another, a technique that now is referred to as quantum simulation. There are two main approaches to quantum simulation: digital and analog. Digital quantum simulation exploits the universality of a quantum computer to carry out the simulation, whereas analog quantum simulation requires that one engineers a specific quantum system that generally is only applicable to a specific simulation or a small class of simulations. In this talk, I will focus on the digital approach and highlight recent theoretical and experimental progress developed in this area. -- Ryan Babbush | PhD Student in Physics (949) 331-3943 | babbush(a)fas.harvard.edu Harvard University | Aspuru-Guzik Group 12 Oxford Street | Cambridge, MA 02138 _______________________________________________ Aspuru-meetings-list mailing list Aspuru-meetings-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/aspuru-meetings-list
