MEETING
Join us as Bill Gonzalez presents on A gentle introduction to quantum computing, a little bit about quantum image processing and quantum machine learning if time permits.
Quantum Physics
Basics
- Superposition
- Entanglement
- Unitary/reversibility
- No-cloning
- Probabilistic, run many shots
Quantum Today:
- Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG)
- Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)
- Quantum Networking
- Quantum Sensing
Quantum Computers:
Modalities (quick discussion)
- ion traps, neutral atoms, superconducting, photonics
- Annealing (D-Wave) is. Gate-based
NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) Computers
Errors:
- Error correction, suppression, mitigation
- Error correcting codes (maybe)
- Logical qubits vs. physical qubits
Quantum Computing
Not suitable for all problems
- optimization, e.g. path finding
- factoring, period finding
- quantum machine learning
Common algorithms
- Deutsch-Jozsa: for a Boolean function with an input of one bit, is it constant
- Bernstein-Vazirani: restricted version of Deutsch-Jozsa
- Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT)
Quantum Image Processing
- Information representation
Tools
- Infrastructure
- pyqml: https://www.pyqml.com/
- -simulation: Quantum Rings
- Software Libraries
- Qiskit
- PennyLane by Xanadu
- Cirq
- others
Quantum Machine Learning
- QCNNs et al.
