SUMMARY:IQC Colloquim - Hsin-Yuan (Robert) Huang - California Institute of\
 nTechnology
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:LEARNING IN THE QUANTUM UNIVERSE\n\nABSTRACT: I will present re
 cent progress in building a rigorous theory\nto understand how scientists\
 , machines\, and future quantum computers\ncould learn models of our quant
 um universe. The talk will begin with\nan experimentally feasible procedur
 e for converting a quantum\nmany-body system into a succinct classical des
 cription of the system\,\nits classical shadow. Classical shadows can be a
 pplied to efficiently\npredict many properties of interest\, including exp
 ectation values of\nlocal observables and few-body correlation functions.\
 n\nI will then build on the classical shadow formalism to answer two\nfund
 amental questions at the intersection of machine learning and\nquantum phy
 sics: Can classical machines learn to solve challenging\nproblems in quant
 um physics? And can quantum machines learn\nexponentially faster than clas
 sical machines?\n\nBIO: Hsin-Yuan (Robert) Huang is a Ph.D. student at Cal
 tech\, advised\nby John Preskill and Thomas Vidick. His research focuses o
 n\nunderstanding how the theory of learning can provide new insights into\
 nphysics\, information\, and quantum computing. His notable works include\
 nclassical shadow tomography for learning large-scale quantum systems\,\np
 rovably efficient machine learning algorithms for solving quantum\nmany-bo
 dy problems\, and quantum advantages in learning from\nexperiments.\n\nHe 
 has been awarded a Google Ph.D. fellowship\, the Quantum Creator\nPrize\, 
 MediaTek research young scholarship\, and the Kortschak\nscholarship.\n\n-
