Alan Aspuru-Guzik – Tripartite Seminar Series Speaker

For our third instalment of the Tripartite Seminar Series, we welcome Alan Aspuru-Guzik from the University of Toronto. He will speak on the topic Quantum Algorithms for Near-Term Quantum Computers.

ABSTRACT:

Quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers

We are in the NISQ era of quantum computing. NISQ stands for “Near-term intermediate-scale quantum computer”. These machines are not error corrected and have of the order of tens of quantum bits. In this talk, I will discuss a family of quantum algorithms that are promising applications for these devices that my group and others have developed. I will discuss potential applications for the simulation of chemistry and materials and quantum machine learning.

The Tripartite Quantum Computing Seminar Series (TQCSS), intends to attract a wide audience of people in British Columbia and beyond. The TQCSS Committee is comprised of faculty from 3 BC universities.

Seminars will take place some Wednesdays over Zoom with a 45 minute seminar followed by 10-15 mins for Q&A.
