Stochastic quantum simulations for scattering experiments

Body

This lecture is organised as part of the CERN QTI online lecture series.

Simulating many-body quantum systems is a promising task for quantum computers. However, early fault-tolerant devices are not expected to correct arbitrary amounts of error, making the quest for better algorithms an important

Classical Splitting of Parametrized Quantum Circuits

Body

This lecture is organised as part of the CERN QTI online lecture series.

In this talk, we will dive into the topic of barren plateaus and investigate a new method to avoid them. Barren plateaus appear to be a major obstacle for using variational quantum algorithms to simulate large-scale quantum
