QCPC 2023
- Location: Université Grenoble Alpes, Bâtiment IMAG, Grenoble, France.
- Lecturers: Bruno Senjean (Montpellier), Thomas Ayral (Paris), Zachary Blunden-Codd (replacing David Herrera-Martı́) (Grenoble), Saad Yalouz (Strasbourg)
- Organizers: Roberta Poloni, Eric Cancès, Emmanuel Fromager, Francesco Sottile, Julien Toulouse.
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, ICGM, 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, LCQ, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg
Quantum algorithm developments and applications: wave-function theory and density-functional theory (1h30)
- David Herrera-Martı́, CEA, Grenoble.
Introduction to fault-tolerant quantum computing. Limits of quantum phase estimation on fault-tolerant quantum computing (1h30)
