Qiskit Seminar Series Episode 117 with Isaac Kim Near-Term Interactive Quantum Computation Your formal invite to weekly Qiskit videos ► https://ibm.biz/q-subscribe Speaker: Isaac Kim Host: Zlatko Minev, PhD. Abstract: While quantum computers are expected to be more powerful than classical computers, the class of tasks that can be performed on a quantum computer in a constant time is limited. However, by allowing the quantum computer to interact with a classical computer over a few rounds, and allowing the classical computer to perform a polynomial-time classical computation, it is possible to achieve tasks that are otherwise impossible to achieve without such interaction. In this talk, I will introduce tasks of such nature, which are intimately related to preparing ground states of quantum many-body systems on a quantum computer. I will argue that such tasks can be performed on near-term quantum computers to demonstrate an advantage of “interactive quantum computation” over a quantum computation that involves no interaction. Interestingly, there may be ground states that cannot be prepared using constant rounds of interaction, which appears to be related to the non-solvability of certain groups.
