Group wins FCT Exploratory Project

29/7/2021

 
The Group won an FCT Exploratory Project to investigate Entanglement in High-Energy Physics. The project is coordinated by Gonçalo Quinta, and involves also João Seixas and Yasser Omar, congratulations to all!

This project further reinforces the Group's agenda and activities to explore the frontier between Quantum Information Science and High-Energy Physics, already ongoing in the QuantHEP 
– Quantum Computing Solutions for High-Energy Physics project and QuantHEP Seminar.

This Exploratory Project is funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), the Portuguese Science Foundation.

Group wins three PhD Scholarships from FCT

29/7/2021

 
Kornelia Ufniarz, Luís Bugalho, and Miguel Murça won PhD Scholarships from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT), the Portuguese Science Foundation, and were all ranked in the top-7 at national level in Physics. And this corresponds once again to a 100% success rate for the students supervised by Yasser Omar in our Group. Congratulations to all!

Abstract:

In principle, future error-corrected quantum computers promise to accelerate the solution of many numerical algorithms that are important for scientific computing. If the system is Hamiltonian, then one natural approach is to simulate a quantized version of the system. Another natural approach is to reformulate the conservation of probability, the Liouville equation, as an equivalent Schrodinger equation with Hermitian Hamiltonian and a unitary evolution operator. The introduction of a complex phase factor allows one to represent semiclassical dynamics through a configuration space version of the Koopman-van Hove (KvH) equation, intimately related to the phase space KvH equation introduced in Ref. [1]. This semiclassical KvH formulation also solves the important problem of self-consistently coupling classical and quantum systems together. A quantum computer with finite resources can be used to simulate a finite-dimensional approximation of the unitary evolution operator. Using this approach to quantum simulation is exponentially more efficient than a deterministic Eulerian discretization of the Liouville equation if the Hamiltonian is sparse [2]. Using amplitude estimation for the calculation of observables and quantum walk techniques for state preparation can lead to up to a quadratic improvement over probabilistic Monte Carlo algorithms [2].
