Abstract

Harnessing the power of quantum computers and systems to solve important problems beyond the capability of classical computers is an outstanding challenge. In this talk, the speaker will present his research group’s recent efforts on developing novel quantum algorithms to address challenges in quantum simulation, quantum error correction, and quantum sensing. These progresses are made possible by leveraging the quantum embedding framework, as well as a unified understanding for modern quantum algorithms via quantum signal processing and quantum singular value transform. In addition to discrete-variable systems such as qubits, in the second part, the speaker will present a generalization of quantum signal processing to continuous-variable bosonic modes, which leads to a novel algorithmic framework for quantum sensing, in particular quantum decision, at the fundamental limits of quantum mechanics. He will conclude the talk with a discussion on prospects of using hybrid discrete-continuous-variable quantum systems for computation and information processing.
