SUMMARY:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title: Quantum Algorithm for Stochastic Optimal Stopping Problems \nSpeaker: João Doriguello \nHosted by:  UNC Kenan-Flagler Rethinc. Labs \nAbstract:   The famous least squares Monte Carlo (LSM) algorithm combines linear least square regression with Monte Carlo simulation to approximately solve problems in stochastic optimal stopping theory. In this work\, we propose a quantum LSM based on quantum access to a stochastic process\, on quantum circuits for computing the optimal stopping times\, and on quantum Monte Carlo techniques. For this algorithm we elucidate the intricate interplay of function approximation and quantum Monte Carlo algorithms. Our algorithm achieves a nearly quadratic speedup in the runtime compared to the LSM algorithm under some mild assumptions. Specifically\, our quantum algorithm can be applied to American option pricing and we analyze a case study for the common situation of Brownian motion and geometric Brownian motion processes. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

SUMMARY:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:  NISQ-HHL: Portfolio Optimization for Near-Term Quantum Hardware \nSpeaker: Dylan Herman \nHosted by:  UNC Kenan-Flagler Rethinc. Labs \nAbstract:  Portfolio optimization is an essential use case in Finance\, but its computational complexity forces financial institutions to resort to approximated solutions\, which are time consuming. Using the method of Lagrange multipliers\, the mean-variance portfolio optimization problem can be represented by a system of linear equations and potentially benefit from the exponential speedup provided by the HHL quantum algorithm. However\, multiple components in HHL are unsuitable for execution on Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware. This paper introduces NISQ-HHL\, the first hybrid formulation of HHL suitable for the end-to-end execution of small-scale portfolio-optimization problems on NISQ devices. NISQ-HHL extends the hybrid HHL variant with newly available quantum-hardware features: mid-circuit measurement\, qubit reset and reuse\, and Quantum Conditional Logic (QCL). To the best of our knowledge\, NISQ-HHL is the first algorithm incorporating a QCL-enhanced version of Phase Estimation executed on real hardware\, the trapped-ion Quantinuum System Model H1-1. In addition\, NISQ-HHL includes a novel method for choosing the optimal evolution time for Hamiltonian simulation. Although this paper focuses on portfolio optimization\, the techniques it proposes to make HHL more scalable are generally applicable to any problem that can be solved via HHL in the NISQ era. \n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu \n

SUMMARY:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar - Last for Semester
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:  Computational Thinking Toward End-to-End Quantum Applications \nSpeaker: Xiaodi Wu \nHosted by:  IBM Quantum Hub at NC State \nAbstract: \n\n\n\nComputational Thinking is the thought process involved in formulating problems so that their solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent. In this talk\, I will demonstrate how computational thinking can help us identify research opportunities where ideas from computer science could contribute to the implementation of end-to-end quantum applications. I will discuss projects guided by this principle in my group\, such as those on the design of programming languages and software toolchains for quantum computing\, and a proposal for scalable verification of quantum supremacy.\n\n\n\n  \nThis is a Hybrid Event with NC State. \nThe In Person location for NC State is Venture Place\, 2nd Floor\, Large Classroom. \nREGISTRATION: Form Link  \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu

DESCRIPTION:Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series from Duke Quantum Center\, IBM Quantum Hub at NC State and UNC Kenan-Flagler’s Rethic. LABS  – 2nd Fall Seminar – Hybrid Event at NC State\nNC State University’s Department of Computer Science\, Department of Electrical and Computing Engineering and the IBM Quantum Hub at NC State Collaboratively Present Special Hybrid Edition of Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series on  Sept. 16\nTalk Title: “Quantum Computing Systems: Challenges and Opportunities” \nSpeaker: Yufei Ding\, University of California of Santa Barbara \nHosted by:  NC State University \nAbstract: The second quantum revolution\, the transition from quantum theory to quantum engineering\, is leading us towards practical quantum computing. However\, there are still many obstacles hindering practical quantum computing. In this talk\, I give my vision about the essential role of computing scientists in future quantum computing development\, with a focus on the methodologies for transferring the knowledge we have learned in building classical computing systems to the new context. In particular\, I will introduce our recent compiler work towards both near-term and long-term quantum computing\, e.g.\, general compiler support with efficient qubit mapping\, domain-specific compiler designs enabled by new intermediate representations\, communication-centric compiler optimization for distributed quantum computing\, and automatic surface code synthesis towards future fault-tolerant quantum computing. I will also briefly cover our studies in quantum programming language and quantum architecture. \nThis is a Hybrid Event at NC State. \nThe In-Person location for NC State is Centennial Campus\, EB 2\, Room 3211 \nNot Receiving Invitations:   \nREGISTER Here: Form Link \nFor more information email:  quantumcomputing@ncsu.edu
