Advanced quantum algorithms for simulation and quantum chemistry
Speaker: Prof Dominic Berry
Affiliation: Macquarie University
Abstract
This talk will give an overview of the methods that have been developed for quantum algorithms for simulation, including product formulae, quantum walks, quantum signal processing, and block encoding. We will then discuss the methods that have been developed specifically for the application to quantum chemistry, including plane-wave representations and factorisation methods employing coherent alias sampling and Givens rotations. Our latest results on the use of spectral amplification and its application to plane-wave representations will then be presented.
