Plans for the week of March 11-15

Dear all, welcome back to FYS5419. The plans for this week are

• Lipkin model for  VQE quantum computing
• Discussion and work on  project 1

We will repeat via slides some of the basic equations we need to encode, see the attached slides for this week. Thereafter, we will spend the rest of the sessions today discussing and working on project 1.  Most likely we will spend the first 20-25 minutes reviewing the technicalities of the Lipkin model and the simpler Hamiltonians, before we move on for the rest of the day working on and discussing project 1.

Reading recommendation: Hundt's chapter 3 and 4 contain many useful hints for computing properties of Pauli matrices.

For the Lipkin model, we recommend strongly the work of LaRose and collaborators, see https://journals.aps.org/prc/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevC.106.024319. The article is also available at

https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/articles/PhysRevC.106.024319.pdf

For codes, feel free to be inspired and/or reuse the codes at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/tree/gh-pages/doc/Programs/LipkinModel.

We will also use parts of the lecture next week as well to discuss and work on project 1.

best wishes to you all and cya soon,

Keran, Morten and Ruben
