QCPC 2023

Introductory days to quantum computing for physics and chemistry

19-20 January 2023, Grenoble
organized by GDR REST and GDR NBODY

• Location: Université Grenoble Alpes, Bâtiment IMAG, Grenoble, France.

• Lecturers: Bruno Senjean (Montpellier), Thomas Ayral (Paris), David Herrera-Marti (Grenoble), Saad Yalouz (Strasbourg)

• Organizers: Roberta Poloni, Eric Cancès, Emmanuel Fromager, Francesco Sottile, Julien Toulouse.

• List of registered participants

Presentation

Research on quantum computing is rapidly growing and has the potential to reshape simulations in physics and chemistry. These two days aim at providing a pedagogical introduction to this field for the communities of the GDR REST and NBODY, i.e. theoretical physicists, chemists, and applied mathematicians working on the quantum many-body problem. These days are not targeted to experts in quantum computing but rather to people who want to discover this new field.

Program

We will have four lectures:

• Bruno Senjean, CNRS and Université de Montpellier, Montpellier

Introduction to quantum computing for chemistry, variational quantum eigensolver and quantum phase estimation algorithms (2*1h30)

• Thomas Ayral, ATOS, Paris

Noise in variational algorithms and classical simulation of quantum computing (2*1h30)

• Saad Yalouz, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg

Quantum algorithm developments and applications: wave-function theory and density-functional theory (1h30)
