Title: Quantum Simulation for Nuclear Physics
Speaker: Martin J. Savage, Institute for Nuclear Theory at University of Washington
Presenter Martin Savage will discuss theoretical predictions of the properties and dynamics of dense quantum many-body systems, such as the early universe and interior of neutron stars, resulting in the requirement of exponentially large classical computational resources that lie beyond the exascale computing era.
Such systems may be amenable to quantum computation, requiring polynomial-scaling quantum resources only. The potential impact of quantum computing and quantum information science on addressing theoretical challenges in nuclear and high-energy physics will be discussed, along with examples of present-day simulations.
Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 3 p.m. in the CEBAF Center.
