• Mapping quantum circuits to shallow-depth measurement patterns based on graph states

    Speaker: Dr. Matthias Heller, Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD Title: Mapping quantum circuits to shallow-depth measurement patterns based on graph states Abstract: The paradigm of measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC) starts from a highly entangled resource state on which unitary operations are executed through adaptive measurements and corrections ensuring determinism. This is set in […]

  • Expressive and Constraint-Preserving QAOA for the Minimum Vertex Cover with Optimized Initializations

    Speaker: Finley Quinton, NTNU Title: Expressive and Constraint-Preserving QAOA for the Minimum Vertex Cover with Optimized Initializations Abstract: Our work investigates advanced Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) strategies for the Minimum Vertex Cover (MVC) problem on weighted graphs, emphasizing constraint-preserving mixers and their performance against traditional penalty-based approaches. We analyze both the standard constraint-preserving mixer […]

  • Novel methods for quantum information processing

    In this talk I present a way to transfer methods from signal processing, like the short-time Fourier transform or the wavelet transform and the respective reconstruction formulae, to the quantum setting. This approach works for discrete variables and continuous variables quantum systems. The focus is going to be on the operator short-time Fourier transform and the polarized Cohen’s class of an operator. This is joint work with Monika Doerfler, Henry McNulty and Eirik Skrettingland.
