SUMMARY:Speaker: Jan Balewski (LBL/NERSC) Title: Programming Today's Quantum Computers
DESCRIPTION:INPA SEMINAR TALK \nDate:  Friday\, February 23\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room–50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Jan Balewski (LBL/NERSC) \nTitle: Programming Today’s Quantum Computers \nAbstract: As the field of quantum computing continues to advance\, cloud-based access to Quantum Computing Units (QPUs) is expanding research capabilities. This seminar outlines the current state of commercial quantum processors\, including transmon-based systems from IBM\, trapped ion processors by Quantinuum\, and neutral atom platforms from QuEra.\nThe potential applications of quantum computing in addressing certain scientific domains are explored\, including understanding gravitational phenomena and energy levels in chemical molecules. An introductory overview of quantum algorithms will be provided\, with focus on demonstrating their capability for efficient sequenced data storage on a logarithmically small number of qubits. Results obtained from selected real quantum hardware will be presented\, highlighting advancements in image processing and DNA sequence analysis. Additionally\, an innovative approach for identifying low-energy states in large crystalline structures through the adiabatic evolution of a linear 58-spin Ising model will be discussed.\nThis seminar aims to introduce basic ideas behind theoretical quantum computing advancements and their practical scientific applications\, offering insights into how quantum technologies can be utilized in contemporary research. It also sets the stage for enabling NERSC users to engage directly with quantum computation in their scientific endeavors in the future. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011\n\nPasscode: 247722 \n
