Lecture: Quantum Simulation in the Presence of Errors

Great news! None other than Ignacio Cirac will be giving a lecture! He is a big name in the world of theoretical quantum mechanics and quantum computing. The lecture will be in English.

To make the party complete, we are organizing this event together with our colleagues from CenEka!

Abstract
Advancements in quantum computing have enabled the development of small-scale quantum computers and simulators that adhere to the principles of quantum physics. Despite its rapid progress, those devices are not yet flawless and errors accumulate, posing serious challenges to their application to interesting problems. In this talk I will first address how those errors affect the results of both quantum computations and the simulation of quantum many-body systems. In particular, I will present several quantum simulation algorithms, and discuss the potentiality of displaying quantum advantage in the presence of imperfections.
