CQT Colloquium by Steven Girvin, Yale University

Title: Using Boson Sampling for Efficient Simulation of Molecular Spectra on a Small Quantum Processor   
Date/Time: 25-Mar, 09:30AM
Venue: Online Event

Abstract: ‘Circuit QED’ is non-linear quantum optics extended to superconducting electrical circuits and represents a leading architecture for the eventual creation of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. Recent remarkable theoretical and experimental progress in our ability to measure and manipulate the quantum states of individual microwave photons is leading to novel applications in quantum information processing, bosonic quantum error correcting codes and quantum simulations of bosonic systems. In this talk I will discuss how the ability to make repeated quantum non-demolition (QND) measurements of photon numbers allow accurate quantum simulation of the vibrational spectra of small molecules using efficient boson sampling.

CQT Talk - Quantum Machine Learning Journal Club Talk by Kosuke Mitarai, Osaka University

Title: Near-term quantum machine learning techniques
Date/Time: 11-Mar, 10:00AM
Venue: Online Via Zoom

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce our theoretical and experimental works in the field of quantum machine learning. First, we will see variational algorithms, where parametrized quantum circuits are trained to construct a machine learning model. The methods use the exponentially large space of quantum systems for storing features of input data. We will also discuss our recent extension of the method to the task of time-series analysis. Secondly, I will present our experimental implementation of a quantum machine learning algorithm on a solid-state NMR platform
