Quantum information seminar Mar 7

by Anshu, Anurag

Dear all, We are excited to have Jin-Peng Liu (MIT) deliver our next quantum information seminar on Thurs Mar 7, 4:30-5:30 pm in Jefferson 250 (the usual location). The talk title and abstract are as below. Title - Quantum for Science: Efficient Quantum Algorithms for Linear and Nonlinear Dynamics Abstract - Fault-tolerant quantum computers are expected to excel in simulating unitary dynamics, such as the dynamics of a quantum state under a Hamiltonian. Most applications in scientific and engineering computations involve non-unitary and/or nonlinear dynamics. Therefore, efficient quantum algorithms are the key for unlocking the full potential of quantum computers to achieve comparable speedup in these general tasks. First, we propose a simple method for simulating a general class of non-unitary dynamics as a linear combination of Hamiltonian simulation (LCHS) problems. The LCHS method can achieve optimal cost in terms of state preparation [1]. Second, we give the first efficient (polynomial time) quantum algorithm for nonlinear differential equations with sufficiently strong dissipation. This is an exponential improvement over the best previous quantum algorithms, whose complexity is exponential in the evolution time [2]. Our work shows that fault-tolerant quantum computing can potentially address complex non-unitary and nonlinear phenomena in natural and data sciences with provable efficiency [3].
