Life, Science, and More
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog, and hopefully I’ll be a bit more active in 2018, but I wanted to quickly highlight a few cool pieces of work I was fortunate enough to be involved in last year. In particular, I wanted to very briefly talk about our recent open source package …
It’s been some time since our original hybrid quantum-classical algorithm, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), made its debut on a photonic quantum device. Since that time there have been many developments, some of which I outlined in a previous post here. I’m happy to say we’ve finally developed a reasonable way to access excited states without requiring …
Quantum computers are a big interest of mine, and in particular I think there’s a lot to be learned in using prototype devices available in the lab today. Unfortunately, a lot of the algorithms we talk about today are simply too complex to fit on even near-future quantum devices. However, by thinking about quantum computers …
