Abstract:Quantum computers have the potential to solve classically intractable problems. However, realizing a universal quantum computer is challenging with current technology. Before having a fully-fledged quantum computer, a more realistic question is what we can do with current and near-term quantum hardware. In this talk, I will review the quantum algorithms that are designed for near-term and fault-tolerant quantum computers. Then, we discuss the possibility of achieving quantum advantages in the early-fault tolerant era.

Bio:Dr. Xiao Yuan received his Bachelor in theoretical physics from Peking University in 2012 and got his PhD in physics from Tsinghua University in 2016. Then he worked as a postdoc at University of Science and Technology China in 2017, at Oxford University from 2017 to 2019, and at Stanford University from 2019 to 2020. He is now an assistant professor at Center on Frontiers of Computing Studies, Peking University. Dr. Xiao Yuan’s current research interests focus on near-term and universal quantum computing, and their applications.
