Abstract:
Simulating electronic structure problems is one of the most attractive applications of quantum computers. Current devices, however, are limited: they are still operating with small number of qubits and high level of noise. Moreover, they are affected by a large number of both technical and fundamental problems.
In my talk I will focus on one of the most studied applications of quantum computers, namely quantum chemistry simulations, and I will highlight both the current major roadblocks and a new framework to overcome them.
As an example I will focus on three key steps, namely how to map optimally fermionic systems to qubits [1], how to simulate molecules in a scalable manner [2,3], and how to extract information in the most efficient manner [4,5].
