Hamiltonian Simulations: Methods, Applications, and Outlook

Quantum Information Seminar

Mária Kieferová
Ph.D. Graduate Student, Physics (Quantum Information)

Abstract:

One of the first applications of quantum computing was simulating the evolution of a closed system. In this talk, I will review Hamiltonian simulation techniques ranging from the earliest results for simulating Hamiltonian evolution to recent methods based on linear combination of unitaries and quantum signal processing. I will also discuss some of the open questions in Hamiltonian simulations.
