Variational Quantum Optics

ORAL

Abstract

Quantum processors of intermediate scale have been used to simulate quantum chemistry by means of the variational quantum algorithm (VQA). VQAs has been shown to be robust against noise and can handle limited connectivity by using hardware-efficient state-preparation protocols. This makes VQAs a promising tool for near-term application of quantum co-processors in the hybrid quantum-classical computation paradigm. In this talk, we extend the applicability of variational quantum algorithms to bosonic Hamiltonians with applications to quantum optics.
