SUMMARY:Near-Term Quantum Computing
DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing has experience huge scientific growth recently. What 10 years ago were a few prototypes of qubits in closed university laboratories are now fully fledged quantum computing devices\, made of tens or even hundreds of qubits and substantially improved quality\, and getting closer to fault-tolerance thresholds. Moreover\, the existence and development of several quantum computing technology platforms enrich the scientific panorama and provide excellent grounds to discover new physics. \nIn parallel to the experimental development of quantum computers\, the theory behind their potential applications has also grown and widened. Several scientific fields are coming together to extract the most from current-term quantum devices while preparing new algorithmic solutions for future quantum computers. Developing optimal and precise software solutions is crucial to bridge the gap between the hardware and the algorithms that lead to new discoveries provided by this new computational paradigm. The goal of this two-week School is to expose students and young researchers to a large collection of areas in the state of the art of quantum computing\, including topics of theory\, hardware\, and software. The current term quantum computers are imperfect\, which limits some of the original quantum computing algorithms and applications. For this reason\, the new generation of quantum computing scientists must know both the experimental phenomena and limitations and the possible applications\, theoretical and software tools to exploit these devices. \nThe School is organized to give time and space for the participants to interact with each other and the school lecturers\, surrounded by a stimulating environment created by the open architecture and blackboard walls of the CCBPP center and the astonishing nature of Benasque Valley.

SUMMARY:TalentQ SEMINAR | Zoe Holmes
DESCRIPTION:Title: Does provable absence of barren plateaus imply classical simulability? \nA large amount of effort has recently been put into understanding the barren plateau phenomenon. In this perspective article\, we face the increasingly loud elephant in the room and ask a question that has been hinted at by many but not explicitly addressed: Can the structure that allows one to avoid barren plateaus also be leveraged to efficiently simulate the loss classically? We present strong evidence that commonly used models with provable absence of barren plateaus are also classically simulable\, provided that one can collect some classical data from quantum devices during an initial data acquisition phase. This follows from the observation that barren plateaus result from a curse of dimensionality\, and that current approaches for solving them end up encoding the problem into some small\, classically simulable\, subspaces. This sheds serious doubt on the non-classicality of the information processing capabilities of parametrized quantum circuits for barren plateau-free landscapes and on the possibility of superpolynomial advantages from running them on quantum hardware. We end by discussing caveats in our arguments\, the potential of smart initializations\, and by highlighting new opportunities that our perspective raises. \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/d0a32f6f-a675-4a8f-a294-d782a64bfc3b@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Quantum error correction with constant time overhead
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Michael Vasmer \nAbstract: The promise of quantum computers is currently limited by noise. Quantum error correction has the potential to overcome this problem\, at the cost of large space and time overheads. The usual approach to diagnose errors in a quantum error-correcting code is to measure certain parity-check operators. These outcomes are then processed by a classical algorithm (a decoder) to find a recovery operator that corrects the errors. In most cases it is necessary to do many rounds of parity-check measurements as part of the error correction procedure\, resulting in a large time overhead. In this talk I will give an introduction to quantum error correction and the decoding problem and then discuss a family of quantum error-correcting codes that only require a single round of parity-check measurements to do reliable error correction. \nREGISTER HERE: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/8daf24c1-8d9e-461f-88cc-42f9c2db763e@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Javier Robledo\, Research Scientist at IBM
DESCRIPTION:Title: Chemistry Beyond Exact Solutions on a Quantum-Centric Supercomputer \nAbstract: A universal quantum computer can be used as a simulator capable of predicting properties of diverse quantum systems. Electronic structure problems in chemistry offer practical use cases around the hundred-qubit mark. This appears promising since current quantum processors have reached these sizes. However\, mapping these use cases onto quantum computers yields deep circuits\, and for for pre-fault-tolerant quantum processors\, the large number of measurements to estimate molecular energies leads to prohibitive runtimes. As a result\, realistic chemistry is out of reach of current quantum computers in isolation. A natural question is whether classical distributed computation can relieve quantum processors from parsing all but a core\, intrinsically quantum component of a chemistry workflow. In this seminar\, I will discuss the incorporation of quantum computations of chemistry in a quantum-centric supercomputing architecture\, using up to 6400 nodes of the supercomputer Fugaku to assist a Heron superconducting quantum processor. We simulate the N2 triple bond breaking in a correlation-consistent cc-pVDZ basis set\, and the active-space electronic structure of [2Fe–2S] and [4Fe–4S] clusters\, using 58\, 45 and 77 qubits respectively\, with quantum circuits of up to 10570 (3590 2-qubit) quantum gates. \nRegister: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/62638123-b208-4684-bec3-05953fc09253@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b \n

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Antonio Rubio\, Postdoctoral Researcher at ICFO
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: QUIONE: A quantum simulator based on ultracold strontium atoms \nABSTRACT: Neutral atoms have a wide range of applications in quantum science and technology. Strontium atoms\, in particular\, are popular for their use as atomic clocks in the field of quantum metrology. But recently\, their preparation in optical lattices and tweezers has also been exploited for quantum simulation and quantum computing. In this talk I will present QUIONE: an analog quantum simulator able to detect individual strontium atoms. The experiment\, built at ICFO\, constitutes the first strontium quantum-gas microscope. This means that we can prepare quantum-degenerate gases in an optical lattice and detect them with single-site resolution. By using a bosonic isotope\, we can realize the Bose-Hubbard model and use our microscope to prepare and detect superfluid phases of matter. Finally\, I will also show that\, by switching to a different isotope of strontium\, we can prepare fermionic gases\, and will soon allow us to study the exotic phases of the SU(N) Hubbard model. \n  \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/383576de-ab40-4cb2-91bd-f1d82d455175@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ SEMINAR | Henry Semenenko
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Quantum Error Correction and Scaling with Trapped-Ions \nABSTRACT: Quantinuum’s quantum processors use the quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) architecture with trapped-ion qubits to deliver leading performance with high-fidelity gates and all-to-all connectivity. As we look towards performing more complex algorithms that require vast numbers of operations\, it will be necessary to develop quantum error correction (QEC) to reduce error below the physical level. Recent QEC results using Quantinuum’s processors have demonstrated logical error rates significantly below the physical level signifying a transition towards reliable quantum computing. This talk will provide an overview of the QCCD trapped-ion architecture\, present QEC results demonstrating better-than-physical error rates\, and discuss the future scaling of Quantinuum’s processors. \nREGISTER HERE: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2b88da0a-84cc-44f0-9a21-956b2cb69818@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ SEMINAR | Esperanza Cuenca
DESCRIPTION:Title: Programming Heterogenous Quantum-Classical Supercomputing Architectures \nAbstract: Valuable quantum computing will integrate tightly with and depend on classical high-performance computing and AI. Such a hybrid system needs a programming model that enables easy and performant co-programming across quantum and classical resources. NVIDIA CUDA-Q is an open-source platform for integrating and programming QPUs\, GPUs\, and CPUs in a single system. Additionally\, the ability of scientists\, developers\, and researchers to simulate quantum circuits on classical computers is vital for quantum computing. NVIDIA cuQuantum is an SDK for accelerating quantum circuit simulation. Built to accelerate all circuit simulation frameworks and integrated into CUDA-Q and more\, cuQuantum allows simulations of ideal or noisy qubits with scale and performance. During this talk CUDA-Q main features will be presented\, as well as some representative works. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/06a4ff25-765f-44bd-8d68-985335a4a1fc@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Alejandro Gómez
DESCRIPTION:Title: Towards quantum advantage on the cloud: benchmarking a 20 qubit quantum computer \nAbstract: Quantum computing is a field with incredible potential to solve fundamental limitations of classical computing\, as well as provide a way for scientists to simulate complex quantum systems. Current technological implementations require further improvements in quality and scalability in order for the field to reach its full potential. IQM Quantum Computers has developed universal gate-based QPUs\, based on superconducting technology\, as an approach to scale up towards practical quantum advantage. This seminar will provide an overview of the architectures and technologies being developed at IQM Quantum Computers\, with a focus on the recently published benchmarks of IQM Garnet\, our cloud-accessible 20 qubit quantum computer. \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/62b5e735-84f6-4d77-b9ca-509c98891202@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b/registration

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Pablo Bermejo
DESCRIPTION:Title: Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks are (Effectively) Classically Simulable \nAbstract: Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (QCNNs) are widely regarded as a promising model for Quantum Machine Learning (QML). In this work we tie their heuristic success to two facts. First\, that when randomly initialized\, they can only operate on the information encoded in low-bodyness measurements of their input states. And second\, that they are commonly benchmarked on «locally-easy» datasets whose states are precisely classifiable by the information encoded in these low-bodyness observables subspace. We further show that the QCNN’s action on this subspace can be efficiently classically simulated by a classical algorithm equipped with Pauli shadows on the dataset. Indeed\, we present a shadow-based simulation of QCNNs on up-to 1024 qubits for phases of matter classification. Our results can then be understood as highlighting a deeper symptom of QML: Models could only be showing heuristic success because they are benchmarked on simple problems\, for which their action can be classically simulated. This insight points to the fact that non-trivial datasets are a truly necessary ingredient for moving forward with QML. To finish\, we discuss how our results can be extrapolated to classically simulate other architectures. \nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/06fd2ebc-0541-4ec9-966e-8cf22ae1a680@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Richard Kueng
DESCRIPTION:Title: Classical shadows in theory\, numerics and experiment \nAbstract: Classical shadows are a scalable way to extract meaningful information from a n-qubit system in a scalable and online fashion. Crucially\, this method has the potential to overcome bottlenecks that plague more traditional general-purpose readout protocols. We will review the overall idea and then present numerical simulations (in silico) and experimental implementations (in vitro) of classical shadows on existing quantum hardware. \nRegister: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/93320e88-4fe5-4edf-86dd-4979729c986e@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Roberta Zambrini
DESCRIPTION:Title: Reservoir computing with complex quantum systems \nAbstract: Non-conventional computing inspired by the brain\, or neuromorphic computing\, is a successful approach in a broad spectrum of applications\, and in the last few years proposals of Quantum Reservoir Computing have been explored. Quantum physical reservoirs have the potential to boost the processing performance in temporal tasks by exploiting quantum coherence\, not requiring error correction and not suffering optimization limitations. Furthermore this approach is naturally suited for fully quantum information processing (with quantum inputs). In this talk we will briefly review the state of the art and focus on recent results exploring the potential of different platforms and operation regimes\, the role of quantum coherence and entanglement\, and how to overcome the challenges of real-time quantum reservoir computing. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/2cae2f7c-2d1c-459a-8573-f7f1b918741d@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Maria Schuld
DESCRIPTION:Title: But why would we use quantum computers after all? Approaching Quantum Machine Learning a little differently \nAbstract: The last years of research in quantum machine learning have taught us a lot. There are problems where quantum computers have a provable advantage for learning (just apply Shor somewhere!). Training variational «quantum neural networks» is a matter of a few lines of code\, but you need to be careful not to be dequantized\, and the results are a little disappointing. We all hope that things look better for «quantum data». And a lot has been written about barren plateaus. But why\, on earth\, should we use quantum computers for machine learning at all? It seems that we have not come any closer to answering this question. In this informal talk based on arXiv2409.00172\, I suggest a slightly different approach to QML: One where we stare hard at a famous family of quantum algorithms\, try to understand why they work (not when they are faster) and muse how this could be turned into a learning principle. Expect no speedup and no end-to-end learning algorithm\, but a lot of educated speculation. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/d34819e1-3e2b-411d-87dc-a98bd8607793@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar - Marco Cerezo
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Marco Cerezo \nTitle: Is Quantum Machine Learning an ill-defined framework? \nAbstract: In this talk we will discuss some our recent results regarding the trainability and classical simulability of Quantum Machine Learning (QML). Despite the initial hype\, it has been shown that many QML models can exhibit critical issues such as barren plateaus\, and exceeding local minima in their training landscapes. More importantly\, it has been recently pointed out that models which are barren plateau-free\, could also be potentially classically simulated. As such\, we will discuss the possibility that the QML framework could be ill-defined. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/3e5cd889-69ba-407e-a01d-348e64e2def7@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b/registration

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar | Diego Andrade
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Diego Andrade Canosa \nAbstract: Benchmarking Quantum Computers is required to objectively evaluate these platforms’ performance\, stressing their capabilities and leading the evolution of the hardware platforms. Some approaches work at the hardware level and are not necessarily linked to any practical application\, others are based on representative real-world use cases of this technology. This seminar will introduce the attendees to the topic of benchmarking Quantum Computers. Then\, we will focus on our approach “The NEASQC Benchmark Suite (TNBS)”\, an application-driven approach designed to measure the speed and accuracy of quantum platforms when executing representative workloads. We will also introduce the audience to its code repository and main support documents. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/debd0fe1-213d-4ff4-9663-c0cde9d6f761@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

In this talk we will explain why this is the case. We will introduce the topic of topological data analysis and discuss the state-of-art of quantum algorithms for computational problems in TDA – this will include the problems of estimating the so-called Betti numbers and the problems of deciding pursuance of topological features in data. We will address their promises and limitations\, possible generalizations and connections to many-body physics. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ed8df57b-f8f3-4bd1-b55b-ced879a18fc1@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:TalentQ Seminar | Low-density parity-check codes as stable phases of quantum matter - Andrew Lucas
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrew Lucas \nTitle: Low-density parity-check codes as stable phases of quantum matter \nAbstract: Phases of matter with robust ground-state degeneracy\, such as the quantum toric code\, are known to be capable of robust quantum information storage. Here\, we address the converse question: given a quantum error correcting code\, when does it define a stable gapped quantum phase of matter\, whose ground state degeneracy is robust against perturbations in the thermodynamic limit? An affirmative answer to this question could allow us to leverage techniques from quantum error correction to learn new things about quantum statistical mechanics. We have proved that a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code defines such a phase\, robust against all few-body perturbations\, if its code distance grows at least logarithmically in the number of degrees of freedom\, and it exhibits a property that we call «check soundness». Many constant-rate quantum LDPC expander codes have such properties\, and define stable phases of matter with a constant zero-temperature entropy density\, violating the third law of thermodynamics. Our results also show that quantum toric code phases are robust to spatially nonlocal few-body perturbations.  I will conclude with potential applications for our ideas in condensed matter physics. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/9464c6bd-6894-42be-8276-11b8b5b731a1@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b/

SUMMARY:Seminar | Almudena Carrera
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Almudena Carrera\, Research Scientist at IBM \nTitle: Combining quantum processors with real-time classical communication \nAbstract: Many applications of quantum computing require more connectivity than the planar lattice offered by the hardware on more qubits than is available on a single quantum processing unit (QPU). In this work\, we address both challenges by linking two QPUs in real time via a classical channel\, effectively unifying them into a single\, larger-scale quantum computer. We demonstrate error-mitigated dynamic circuits and circuit cutting across two 127-qubit processors\, creating quantum states spanning up to 142 qubits and achieving a periodic connectivity that exceeds what one QPU alone can offer. In this talk\, I will discuss the experimental methods behind these results\, emphasizing both the conceptual and practical aspects of circuit cutting. I will also compare two different approaches—one without classical communication and one with real-time classical communication—and explore how each affects the feasibility of this technique. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/721e1f57-7f5a-4b0c-9667-6801fb139e8a@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:Seminar | DAVIDE RUSCA
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Davide Rusca | Senior researcher at VQCC – University of Vigo \nTitle: Quantum Randomness: From Theory to Experiment \nAbstract: Randomness seems like a straightforward concept\, both intuitively and mathematically. However\, this confidence wavers when we consider the physical nature of reality. A simple classical description of the world suggests that everything\, no matter how chaotic\, is ultimately deterministic. Few would guess that the only way to truly reintroduce randomness into nature is through quantum mechanics\, where the probabilistic nature of measurement outcomes is intrinsic to the theory. But how can we observe this in a lab? How can we harness these properties of nature to generate true randomness? In this talk\, we will explore the history of Quantum Random Number Generators\, examining their complexity and some of their most intriguing properties. The main goal is to understand how we can transition from theory to experiment and ensure that what we observe is genuinely quantum and truly random. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/ff97cc2f-3796-4b3c-bf27-b76683588290@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:Quantum Computing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The workshop consists of 3 Friday afternoon sessions on February 28\, February 7 and March 14\, 2025 from 15-19 hrs\, and a full day Hackathon on Firday March 21\, 2025. \nQuantum Computing will allow\, when sufficiently mature\, to tackle problems whose complexity scales exponentially and are\, therefore\, beyond the reach of classical computing resources. \nThe advent of fully functional quantum computers is still some years ahead. Meanwhile\, a class of strategies have been put forward in order to profit from the available infrastructures. \nIn this workshop we will show how to make use of those strategies in order to tackle real problems. The program will include both theoretical lectures as well as hands-on sessions. It will end up with a Hackaton where teams will address a particular set of proposed projects. \nThe level will be introductory and only requisits are basic knowledge of linear algebra and of programming in python.

SUMMARY:Seminar | EMANUELE COSTA
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Emanuele Costa | Research fellow at the University of Barcelona \nTitle: A Quantum Annealing Protocol to Solve the Nuclear Shell Model \nAbstract: The nuclear shell model accurately describes the structure and dynamics of atomic nuclei. However\, the exponential scaling of the basis size with the number of degrees of freedom hampers a direct numerical solution for heavy nuclei. In this talk\, I present a quantum annealing protocol to obtain nuclear ground states. I propose a tailored driver Hamiltonian that preserves a large gap and validate our approach in a dozen nuclei with basis sizes up to 10^5 using classical simulations of the annealing evolution. I show the relation between the spectral gap and the total time of the annealing protocol\, assessing its accuracy by comparing the fidelity and energy relative error to classical benchmarks. While the nuclear Hamiltonian is non-local and thus challenging to implement in current setups\, the estimated computational cost of our annealing protocol on quantum circuits is polynomial in the many-body basis size\, paving the way to study heavier nuclei. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/5d4f01d9-6f3f-493f-aa00-9ee5fb5064c1@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b

SUMMARY:Seminar | RICHARD R. ALLEN
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Richard R. Allen | PhD student at MIT \nTitle: Quantum Computing Enhanced Sensing \nAbstract: Quantum computing and quantum sensing represent two distinct frontiers of quantum information science. In this work\, we harness quantum computing to solve a fundamental and practically important sensing problem: the detection of weak oscillating fields with unknown strength and frequency. We present a quantum computing enhanced sensing protocol that outperforms all existing approaches. Furthermore\, we prove our approach is optimal by establishing the Grover-Heisenberg limit — a fundamental lower bound on the minimum sensing time. The key idea is to robustly digitize the continuous\, analog signal into a discrete operation\, which is then integrated into a quantum algorithm. Our metrological gain originates from quantum computation\, distinguishing our protocol from conventional sensing approaches. Indeed\, we prove that broad classes of protocols based on quantum Fisher information\, finite-lifetime quantum memory\, or classical signal processing are strictly less powerful. Our protocol is compatible with multiple experimental platforms. We propose and analyze a proof-of-principle experiment using nitrogen-vacancy centers\, where meaningful improvements are achievable using current technology. This work establishes quantum computation as a powerful new resource for advancing sensing capabilities. \nRegistration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/0c8cf2a4-a9c9-4d2f-956a-26aa172e40b3@8f0d452c-b7a4-4964-b810-8c397374477b
