SUMMARY:First Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar Series for Spring 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC’s Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminar \nNEW TIME: Seminars will be held each Friday this Spring from 2pm – 3pm\nTalk Title: Interactive Protocols for Classically-Verifiable Quantum Advantage with an Ion-Trap\nQuantum Computer \nSpeaker:   Daiwei Zhu \nAbstract: \nThe recent demonstrations of quantum advantage with superconducting and linear optics devices have highlighted both the impressive capabilities of near-term quantum computers but also the limitations in being able to verify the results in a scalable manner. This is because current experiments have focused on (classically-hard) sampling tasks which\, while relatively easy to implement in hardware\, require exponential time to validate their results. A way to overcome the intractability of verification is with interactive proofs of quantumness—protocols that leverage cryptographic functions as well as interactions between a prover and a verifier\, to bridge the gap between verifiability and implementation. \nIn this talk\, we present the first implementation of such an interactive test of quantum advantage on an ion-trap quantum computer. This consists of two complementary protocols—one based on the hardness of factoring\, which implements a type of computational Bell test and another based on the learning with errors (LWE) problem. To perform multiple rounds of interaction\, we used a split-and-shuttle approach to realize mid-circuit measurements on selected subsystems\, with subsequent coherent evolution. For both protocols\, the experimental results exceed the asymptotic bound for classical behavior; maintaining this fidelity at scale would conclusively demonstrate verifiable quantum advantage. \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 Series Jan. 28
DESCRIPTION:Join Today’s Duke\, NC State and UNC’s collaborative Triangle Quantum Computing Seminar \nTalk Title:Towards Quantum Advantage in Financial Market Risk using Quantum Gradient Algorithms \nSpeaker:  Nikitas Stamatopoulos\, Vice President in the R&D Engineering Division at Goldman Sachs \nHosted by: UNC Kenan-Flagler’s Rethinc. Labs \nAbstract: \nPrevious work has shown that quantum amplitude estimation can accelerate derivative pricing quadratically in the target error and with his team Stamatopoulos extends this to a quadratic error scaling advantage in market risk computation. They show that employing quantum gradient estimation algorithms can deliver a further quadratic advantage in the number of the associated market sensitivities\, usually called greeks. By numerically simulating the quantum gradient estimation algorithms on financial derivatives of practical interest\, they demonstrate that not only can we successfully estimate the greeks in the examples studied\, but that the resource requirements can be significantly lower in practice than what is expected by theoretical complexity bounds. This additional advantage in the computation of financial market risk lowers the estimated logical clock rate required for financial quantum advantage from Chakrabarti et al. [Quantum 5\, 463 (2021)] by a factor of 50\, from 50MHz to 1MHz\, even for a modest number of greeks by industry standards (four). Moreover\, they show that if we have access to enough resources\, the quantum algorithm can be parallelized across 30 QPUs for the same overall runtime as the serial execution if the logical clock rate of each device is ~30kHz\, same order of magnitude as the best current estimates of feasible target clock rates of around 10kHz. Throughout this work\, they summarize and compare several different combinations of quantum and classical approaches that could be used for computing the market risk of financial derivatives. \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
