on 10-07-2019

... Joaquin Fernandez Rossier, International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, in Braga, Portugal

Date & time: Wednesday, July 10th, 10:00h
Location: Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Room P3.10, Mathematics Building

In this seminar Joaquin Rossier will do 3 things:
He will review why quantum many-body problem is very important and can not be dealt with using classical computers;
He will discuss the use of digital quantum computers to tackle the many body problem;
He will discuss our quantum computations for quantum simulation of simple model Hamiltonians using IBM quantum hardware.
