Variational Quantum Algorithms: Training and expressivity considerations from CERN
CERN has started its second phase of the Quantum Technology Initiative with 5year-term plan aligned with the CERN research and collaboration objectives. This effort is designed to build specific capacity and technology platforms, and support a longer-term strategy to use quantum technology at CERN and in HEP in the future.
Constructed over four specific and focused Centres of Competence, in this talk we will discuss about the Hybrid Quantum Computing Infrastructures Algorithms and Applications one. After a preliminary introduction about the promise of quantum computing, we will discuss main research directions and results from trainability to expressivity of variational quantum algorithms and touch upon application in several areas of HEP.
