Guest speaker

Mezzacapo is a principal research scientist and technical lead for applied quantum computing at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, working on quantum algorithms to address hard problems in different areas. He is also interested in models for the physics of superconducting quantum processors and quantum software.

From Antonio Mezzacapo: What is your talk about?

“I will talk about quantum algorithms based on Krylov subspaces, showing how they can be used to address the ground state problem for interacting quantum systems. These algorithms range from a unitary version of the power method, which can be used on near-term devices, up to our recent result about an exact quantum implementation of the Lanczos method with an exponential speedup.”
