Designing and executing simulations of fermionic systems on quantum computers

Il 14 giugno alle ore 11.00 in aula 2G26,
il Dr. Antonio Mezzacapo, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights (NY)
terrà un seminario dal titolo:
"Designing and executing simulations of fermionic systems on quantum computers"
Abstract
Quantum computers can help solve correlated fermionic systems, provided that descriptions of these systems are loaded onto a set of qubits. In this talk I will give an overview on designing quantum computing methods for fermionic systems. I will review methods to represent quantum states and interactions onto a set of qubits, how to optimize mapping procedures, and how these methods are used to perform computations on quantum hardware. I will then introduce connections between such mappings and stabilizer codes, showing that adequate encodings can account for the correction of single-qubit errors.
Short Biography
Antonio Mezzacapo is currently a research staff member in the quantum computing theory group at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. His main focuses are the development of new quantum algorithms targeting interacting many body systems, and modeling of quantum devices. He has worked on the design of the Qiskit Aqua and Qiskit chemistry software packages for quantum computing. He has a degree from Naples University and a PhD in physics from the University of Basque Country.
