Introduction to Quantum Algorithms and Resource Estimation with PennyLane
This workshop will give attendees a broad overview of how many quantum algorithms are built from a single recurring idea and how to account for the quantum resources needed to run these algorithms on real hardware. Through a series of hands-on exercises, attendees will learn about PennyLane functionalities for constructing and measuring core primitives such as the Hadamard test and quantum phase estimation, and for estimating the fault-tolerant resources an algorithm requires. By the end of the session, they will have hands-on experience building quantum programs with PennyLane and using its resource-estimation tools to assess gate counts, circuit depth, and hardware-dependent runtimes — connecting textbook algorithms to their practical cost.
Xanadu is a Canadian quantum computing company with the mission to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Xanadu is one of the world's leading quantum hardware and software companies and also leads the development of PennyLane, an open-source software library for quantum computing and application development.
This workshop is being organized for the USEQIP summer students but is open to all interested IQC members. Laptops are required to participate fully in the workshop; note that plugs are limited in QNC 0101. Pizza lunch will be provided. RSVPs are not mandatory, but appreciated for estimating order size and collecting any dietary restrictions: https://forms.gle/t7n334RWkfza1f7MA .
