Increasing the IQ of Artificial Intelligence with Quantum Algorithms
Location:MIT 4 - 270
Dr. Hartmut Neven, Google
Ten Minute Talk:"Towards magnetic resonance imaging of a single molecule"
by Alexei Bylinskii
A key objective behind the inception of Google’s Quantum Artificial
Intelligence Lab was to accelerate the approximate solution of hard
combinatorial optimization problems with quantum enhanced optimization. We
have developed a sequence of algorithms that aim at accomplishing this task
in a manner that is forgiving to the noise present in near-term quantum
processors. I will describe the latest incarnation of our method which is
based on multi-spin updates generated by non-ergodic many body delocalized
states. We recently showed that this approach can recover the Grover
speedup for unstructured search problems and I will describe numerical
experiments that illustrate how this method behaves when applied to
structured optimization problems. I will conclude my talk with updates on
other activities going on in Google’s Quantum AI lab: I will describe the
properties of our latest chip, the 72 qubit Bristlecone processor; a
formulation of quantum neural networks which lends itself to implementation
on shallow quantum circuits; and if time permits I will sketch where we
stand in attempting to perform electronic structure calculations, again
using low resource count quantum circuits.
