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.
