[Seminar] Analog quantum simulation for partial differential equations: Schrodingerisation and other dilation methods

Tuesday, March 19, 2024 - 10:30 to 12:00
Center bldg, Lv B, Seminar Room B503

Speaker: Prof. Nana Liu, Shanghai Jiao Tong UniversityQuantum simulators were originally proposed to be helpful for simulating one partial differential equation (PDE) in particular – Schrodinger’s equation. If quantum simulators can be useful for simulating Schrodinger’s equation, it is hoped that they may also be helpful for simulating other PDEs. As with large-scale quantum systems, classical methods for other high-dimensional and large-scale PDEs often suffer from the curse-of-dimensionality (costs scale exponentially in the dimension D of the PDE), which a quantum treatment might in certain cases be able to mitigate. To enable simulation of PDEs on quantum devices that obey Schrodinger’s equations, it is crucial to first develop good methods for mapping other PDEs onto Schrodinger’s equations.
