Title: Scientific Computation on Quantum Computers

Abstract: Quantum computing has garnered significant attention for its potential to deliver super-polynomial speedups and energy savings. Numerous quantum algorithms have been developed for applications in chemistry, material science, fluid simulation, and other scientific computing tasks. This talk will provide a concise overview of recent advancements in these fields, along with progress in quantum computing hardware. I will also explore the challenges that remain as we work toward achieving utility-scale quantum computing.

Bio: Zhixin (Jack) Song is a 4th-year Ph.D. student working with Dr. Spencer Bryngelson. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the Ohio State University in 2019 and has previously interned at Baidu Research and JPMorgan Chase. His current research focuses on quantum algorithms for fluid simulation, solving differential equations, and quantum compiler design.

About HotCSE

HotCSE is an academic seminar series to bring Ph.D. students in Computational Science and Engineering together to discuss interesting topics. The topics consist of high-performance computing, machine learning, data analysis, simulation, computational sustainability, medical informatics, etc.

The talks have always been enjoyable and have ranged from quite informal to formal conference style talks. Either chalks or slides can be used to help people understand your talk. It is also a great forum to practice conference talks and bounce around new ideas.

Currently the talks are sponsored by the School of Computational Science and Engineering. The goal of CSE is slightly broader than that of these talks - we want to bring more people outside CSE to discuss their related work here.

All talks are free and open to the public. Besides, LUNCH is provided!!! Those without CODA building access can meet at the second-floor elevators at 11:50 AM to go up.
