Near-optimal algorithms for quantum simulation

Yu Tong, University of California, Berkeley

In this talk I will introduce digital quantum algorithms for two quantum simulation tasks: ground state preparation/energy estimation, and real-time dynamical simulation of infinite-dimensional quantum systems. For the former I will introduce a black-box oracle setting that is suitable for quantum chemistry applications.
