SUMMARY:URA Seminar - Anirban Chowdhury
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Approximation algorithms for dense quantum Hamiltonians 
 using\nconvex relaxations\n\nSPEAKER:\n Anirban Chowdhury\n\nAFFILIATION:\
 n University of Waterloo\n\nLOCATION:\n MC 5479\n\nABSTRACT: Computing gro
 und-state energy and partition functions for\nquantum Hamiltonian systems 
 are problems of broad applicability in\nphysics. These are also natural ge
 neralizations of well-studied\nclassical computational tasks such as maxim
 um constraint satisfaction\nand computing partition functions of Ising mod
 els. In this talk\, I\nwill present new classical approximation algorithms
  for these problems\nin the case of dense quantum Hamiltonians.
