Physics & Astronomy IBM Quantum Research Seminar - Antonio Mezzacapo, IBM

Title: "Fermi Systems and Quantum Computing"

Tuesday, January 22, 2019
10:30am – 11:30am
Wilder 104
Intended Audience(s): Public
Categories: Lectures & Seminars

Abstract: Solving correlated Fermi systems is a problem of ubiquitous importance in the fields of chemistry, materials science and fundamental interactions. Quantum computers can help addressing this type of challenges, provided that descriptions of Fermi systems are loaded onto a set of qubits. In this talk I will review methods to represent Fermi 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 present some recent work in which we introduce connections between such mappings and stabilizer codes, showing that adequate encodings can account for the correction of single-qubit errors.
