SUMMARY:Near-term quantum algorithms - Daochen Wang\, River Lane Research 
DTSTART:20180220T130000Z
DTEND:20180220T140000Z
UID:TALK101833@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Vivien Gruar
DESCRIPTION:Can be both open-ended or well-defined (depending on student i
 nterest). \n\nOpen-ended version: you will read and understand recent pape
 rs on near-term quantum algorithms (choice according to your interest)\, i
 mplement a simulation into code and hopefully suggest improvements to the 
 algorithm. \n\nWell-defined version: you will focus on active machine lear
 ning variational quantum algorithms to solve chemistry problems (i.e. find
 ing ground state energies of compounds like H2O\, O2 etc.). \n\nAn even mo
 re well-defined version: you will optimise existing company code of standa
 rd quantum algorithms (such as Shor's\, Grover's\, eigensolver) or a parti
 cular algorithm recently invented by the company. \n
