SUMMARY:Quantum simulation: progress and prospects\, R. G. Herb Conden
 sed Matter Seminar\, Dr. Peter Love \, Tufts University
DESCRIPTION:Quantum simulation proposes to use future quantum computer
 s to calculate properties of quantum systems. In the context of chemis
 try\, the target is the electronic structure problem: determination of
  the electronic energy given the nuclear coordinates of a molecule. Si
 nce 2006 we have been studying quantum approaches to quantum chemical 
 problems\, and such approaches must face the challenges of high\, but 
 fixed\, precision requirements\, and fermion antisymmetry. I will desc
 ribe several algorithmic developments in this area including improveme
 nts upon the  Jordan Wigner transformation\, alternatives to phase est
 imation\, adiabatic quantum computing approaches to the electronic str
 ucture problem\, methods based on sparse Hamiltonian simulation techni
 ques and the potential for experiments realizing these algorithms in t
 he near future.
