Des simulations avancées pourraient un jour nous aider à explorer de nouveaux territoires en physique atomique, à élaborer de nouveaux matériaux et à découvrir de nouveaux médicaments. Mais les chercheurs doivent d’abord trouver les meilleurs moyens de contrôler ces simulations. De nouvelles recherches, qui ont fait la couverture de la revue Nature Machine Intelligence, abordent l’apprentissage automatique comme moyen de réaliser un contrôle optimal.

Questing for a quantum solution

En français

In his most recent collaboration with IBM, IQC and University of Waterloo Combinatorics and Optimization faculty member David Gosset has developed classical algorithms to simulate certain restricted types of quantum computation.

The Institute for Quantum Computing’s (IQC) Achievement Award is given to a University of Waterloo graduate student who studies quantum information and has achieved excellence in research. The latest winner, Michal Kononenko, talked with us about his Master’s research, keeping quantum information science relevant, and his advice for students thinking about studying in the field.

Fireside Chat

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

Chris Ferrie - Tuesday, December 15, 7:00 p.m.

We welcome Chris Ferrie of the University of Technology Sydney and Centre for Quantum Software and Information for our fifth Fireside Chat. Ferrie received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from IQC in 2012.

Advanced simulations may one day be able to help us explore new frontiers in atomic physics, build new materials and discover new drugs. But first, researchers must find the best ways to control these simulations. New research featured on the cover of Nature Machine Intelligence explores machine learning as a method for achieving optimal control.
