Hi everyone,
Today Peter Love will give us a general talk about digital quantum
simulation of the electronic structure problem. The title and abstract
are below.
See you there,
Felipe Herrera
*Title:*
New Directions in Quantum Simulation of Quantum Chemistry
*Abstract:*
Quantum simulation proposes to use future quantum computers to calculate
properties of quantum systems. In the context of chemistry, the target
is the electronic structure problem: determination of the electronic
energy given the nuclear coordinates of a molecule. Since 2006 we have
been studying quantum approaches to quantum chemical problems, and such
approaches must face the challenges of high, but fixed, precision
requirements, and fermion antisymmetry. I will describe several recent
algorithmic developments in this area including improvements upon the
Jordan Wigner transformation, alternatives to phase estimation,
adiabatic quantum computing approaches to the electronic structure
problem, methods based on sparse Hamiltonian simulation techniques and
the potential for hardware optimizations for these methods.
