Title:Complex quantum systems and quantum technologies
Abstract:Quantum computing is aimed to solve tasks, which are believed to be exponentially hard to existing computational devices and tools. A prominent example of such classically hard problems is simulating complex quantum many-body systems, in particular, for quantum chemistry. However, solving realistic problems with quantum computers encounters various difficulties, which are related, first, to limited computational capabilities of existing quantum devices and, second, to the efficiency of algorithmic approaches. I will review recent progress in quantum algorithms for NISQ era devices, both in the context of their characterization and solving prototypes of useful tasks with them. I will also cover recent results on qudit-based computing with trapped ions and other physical platforms.
