Physics Department Colloquium
Playing with Quantum Annealers
Date: Friday, April 17th
Time: 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Place: Chamberlin 2241
Speaker: Alex Kamenev , FTPI-UMN
Abstract: Quantum annealers are analog devices designed to implement certain quantum algorithms primarily for solving optimization problems. I will discuss our experimentation with D-Wave (5600 qubits) and Quantinuum (32 qubits) platforms and lessons one can learn from it. I will also talk about using these devices as neural networks trainers and how quantum physics may prove to be useful for AI.
Host: Alex Levchenko
