Quantum algorithms for differential equations

While quantum computation has been extensively studied for its significant applications in quantum chemistry and quantum physics, far less is understood about its impact on the simulation of high-dimensional classical dynamical systems. Very recently there has been a range of significant advancements in this direction, and so now is the time to forge a new research community. This workshop will bring together experts from industry, academia and national labs, and draw on a range of backgrounds to address the potential of quantum algorithms in this strategically important space. 

The goals are: to create an ecosystem and facilitate new collaborations, to discuss emerging techniques, and to identify targets that are (a) classically intractable, (b) amenable to near/medium term quantum simulation, (c) of real-world significance. 

The workshop will focus on quantum linear solver and Hamiltonian simulation-based methods for the solution of both linear and nonlinear differential equations. The program will include a panel discussion on the latest results, open problems and directions going forward.

Invited speakers

Jin-Peng Liu, Simons Institute and UC Berkeley 

Dominic Berry, Macquarie University

 We welcome a mix of experts from the areas relevant to the interdisciplinary scope of the subject matter. We expect participants from quantum algorithm development and related areas (quantum information theory, quantum computing). We especially welcome experts in areas such as dynamical systems, plasma physics and fluid-dynamics who are interested in bridging the current gap between quantum algorithms and established classical simulation methods.

The event will take place as part of the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE23). It will be held as an in-person event with virtual participation in Bellevue, Washington, USA at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Seattle’s Eastside.
