Plans for the week of March 27-31
Dear all, here follows an update from Monday's lecture (Monday March 20).
I have updated the material from the weeks of
1) March 13-17 on the Lipkin model and the VQE, see for example the notebook at
https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week8/ipynb/week8.ipynb
2) March 20-24 again on the Lipkin model, VQE and the project. see the notebook at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week9/ipynb/week9.ipynb
The latter contains the derivation of the Lipkin model in terms of the Pauli matrices and may be useful for the solution and understanding of the project.
Next week we will study how to write our own code and/or using Qiskit in order to find the eigenvalues using the VQE method. We will dedicate most of the time to this and link the discussions with the solution of the project. You find the project description at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/Projects/2023/Project1
The teaching material for the next week, March 27-31 will be ready by the end of the weekend and you will find the notebook at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week10/ipynb/week10.ipynb
Else, we recommend as reading background the text of
- Hundt, Quantum Computing for Programmers, chapter 6, in particular section 6.1
- See also VQE review article at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0370157322003118?via%3Dihub
We will continue with lectures till May 15 and will continue after the Easter break on Monday April 17. The topics for the rest of the semester are not yet decided, feel free to come with inputs.
Else, we strongly recommend to work and discuss together the project. As far as I can remember you seemed to agree that Thursdays were ok days for meeting. Feel free to reach out to each other.
In the meantime, all the best,Morten
