Some interesting article in Medium written by an interdisciplinary team of IBM researchers with partners from Daimler AG and Virginia Tech. Quantum computers are, by their very nature, well-suited to help scientists achieve breakthrough discoveries […]
A team of researchers has proposed an efficient method for simultaneously optimizing both the structure and parameter values of quantum circuits with only a small computational overhead. Shallow circuits that use structure optimization perform significantly […]
German Federal Ministry of the Economy has funded the €19m PlanQK project (Platform and Ecosystem for Quantum-Assisted Artificial Intelligence) in Quantum AI. The project has now 15 partners and 33 associated partners, including Siemens, Deutsche Telekom […]
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory proved a fundamental theorem for Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), or more generally, for any parameterized quantum circuit (often called an “ansatz”). Parameterized quantum circuits serve as ansätze for solving […]
Pricing financial derivatives, in particular European-style options at different time-maturities and strikes, is a relevant financial problem. The dynamics describing the price of vanilla options when constant volatilities and interest rates are assumed, is governed […]
The variational principle of quantum mechanics is the backbone of hybrid quantum computing for a range of applications. However, as the problem size grows, quantum logic errors and the effect of barren plateaus overwhelm the […]
Fermionic Linear Optics (FLO) is a restricted model of quantum computation which in its original form is known to be efficiently classically simulable. A team of researchers showed that, when initialized with suitable input states, […]
A team of researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Google has reviewed the state of the art of Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs). Applications such as simulating large quantum systems or solving large-scale linear algebra […]
A team of scientists at Freie Universität Berlin has developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method for calculating the ground state of the Schrödinger equation in quantum chemistry. Up to now, it has been impossible to […]
