From: Yasser Omar Subject: [quantum-foundations] New QuantHEP Seminar: Wednesday 7 October, John Preskill Date: 2. October 2020 at 16:02:53 CEST To: quantum-foundations@maillist.ox.ac.uk Reply-To: Yasser Omar

Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to announce the new, online, QuantHEP Seminar – Quantum Computation and High-Energy Physics Seminar https://quanthep-seminar.org/, 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 https://quanthep-seminar.org/session/session-1/

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 https://quanthep-seminar.org/ is an initiative of the research project QuantHEP – Quantum Computing Solutions for High-Energy Physics https://quanthep.eu/ 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 https://quanthep-seminar.org/session/session-2/.

2 December 2020, Ignacio Cirac (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics), Solving quantum lattice gauge theories with quantum computers https://quanthep-seminar.org/speaker/ignacio-cirac/.
