Quantum Computing ⨷ Quantum Chemistry
24-25 September 2020
Part of the Quantum Week of Fun
COVID-19 IS NOT FUN.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,
and the uncertainty about travel and public gatherings,
we have made the difficult decision to make QCxQC a virtual event.
Full details about the arrangements will appear here nearer the
time.
About the workshop
The workshop aims to bring together researchers from the computational chemistry and condensed matter physics fields
interested in the simulation of molecules and materials on quantum computers. Topics to be discussed include
quantum algorithms for simulations on NISQ machines and fault-tolerant quantum computers, challenges
in the use of this technology for simulations in the quantum chemistry and materials science spaces,
applications beyond the calculation of ground state energies...
The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to
- Quantum chemistry algorithms for fault-tolerant quantum computers
- Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms for chemistry simulations
- Quantum simulation algorithms for NISQ hardware
- Ansatz design for variational quantum algorithms
- Calculation of excited states
- Fermion to qubit encoding schemes
- Noise mitigation methods for quantum chemistry simulations
- Calculation of properties from correlated wavefunctions on quantum computers
- Quantum algorithms for the simulation of condensed matter systems
