James Whitfield (University of Vienna)
Applications of Chemical Group Theory to Quantum Simulation
QuICS Workshop on the Frontiers of Quantum Information and Computer Science (September 28, 2015)

In order for quantum computational simulations to advance to a competitive point, many techniques from classical simulations must be imported into the quantum domain.

In this talk, I will explore some applications of symmetry in the context of quantum simulation. I will motivate and detail algorithms for the application of well-established ideas from computational chemistry to the first and second quantized formulations of quantum simulation, as well as applications to the black-box formulation of quantum simulation of fermionic systems.
