HQI Special Seminar - Prof. Umesh Vazirani

by Harvard Quantum Initiative

HQI Special Seminar - Prof. Umesh Vazirani (UC Berkeley) Monday, Oct. 3, 2022 4:15 PM - 6:00 PM, Science and Engineering Complex Room: LL2.229 Title: Theoretical Reflections on Quantum Supremacy Abstract: Google's 2019 experiment and their announcement of quantum supremacy relied on the inability of classical computers to efficiently carry out a task called random quantum circuit sampling (RCS). I will describe recent theoretical developments on the complexity of RCS. I will also describe a different line of work that provides scalable and rigorous proofs of quantumness based on an approach called the cryptographic leash, and the prospects of a concrete experimental challenge based on this approach.
