This talk is not about quantum computing, nor physics: it’s about software tools that generate code from the maths. I want to show you some examples of what is possible. The big idea is to capture an abstract model of the computation that makes hard optimisations easy. My aim is to seed conversations about how to do this for the applications at this workshop.
While existing quantum hardware resources have limited availability and reliability, there is a growing demand for exploring and verifying quantum algorithms. Efficient classical simulators for high-performance quantum simulation are critical to meeting this demand. However, due to the vastly varied characteristics of classical hardware, implementing hardware-specific optimizations for...
The motivation for studying non-Hermitian systems and the role of {PT}-symmetry is discussed. We investigate the use of a quantum algorithm to find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, with applications to quantum phase transitions. We use a recently proposed variational algorithm.
