We are happy to announce the new, online, QuantHEP Seminar – Quantum Computation and High-Energy Physics Seminar, starting this Wednesday:
Date: 7 October 2020
Time: 17h00 Brussels = 11h00 New York = 8h00 San Francisco = etc.
Speaker: John Preskill (California Institute of Technology)
Title: Quantum Computing and Fundamental Physics
Abstract: This talk has three parts. In part 1, I discuss the current status and near-term prospects for quantum computing and quantum simulation. In part 2, I emphasize the opportunity to advance our understanding of quantum field theory, high energy physics, and nuclear physics using quantum simulation platforms. In part 3, I describe some recent and ongoing work developing classical and quantum algorithms for simulating high-energy scattering in quantum field theory, particularly in one spatial dimension.

The QuantHEP Seminar is an initiative of the research project QuantHEP – Quantum Computing Solutions for High-Energy Physics aiming at:
- presenting and discussing ideas and results on how Quantum Computing – and Quantum Technologies (QT) in general – can help address scientific challenges in High-Energy Physics (HEP), and how in turn HEP can bring new insights into Quantum Information Science;
- bringing the QT and HEP communities closer together and foster their scientific collaboration.
The following sessions will be:
- 4 November 2020, Sau Lan Wu (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Application of Quantum Machine Learning to High Energy Physics Analysis at LHC using Quantum Computer Simulators and Quantum Computer Hardware.
- 2 December 2020, Ignacio Cirac (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics), Solving quantum lattice gauge theories with quantum computers.

Please share this information with your students and colleagues, especially in the QT and HEP communities.
Best wishes and looking forward to seeing you at the online QuantHEP Seminar this Wednesday 7 October!
