Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting
Quantum algorithms for finding spin glass ground states
- Event time: 3:00pm until 4:00pm
- Event date: 18th March 2025
- Speaker: Professor Vivien Kendon (Strathclyde University )
- Location: Online - see email.
Event details
Methods to find the solution state for optimization problems encoded into Ising Hamiltonians are a very active area of current research. I will explain how this works using Ising spin glasses as the main example problem. I will introduce various methods for finding low energy states, including adiabatic, quantum annealing and quantum walk algorithms, and discuss how some of these can be used in practice.
