Wanted: Algorithms for quantum computing
Excerpts and salient points ~
+ During the workshop, an interdisciplinary team of attendees is considering several themes posed as questions. They are considering topics that touch on which domains classical and quantum algorithms are likely to thrive, problems facing quantum computing, and recent developments in hardware, to name a few. The group will also discuss and develop algorithms for optimization, sampling, and machine learning.
[T]he rate of hardware development is seemingly outpacing the growth of algorithms that can leverage the phenomena of quantum mechanics.
+ Or to put it another way: “Everyone is trying to build these [quantum] machines, but we don’t know how to use them in many application domains,” says Helmut Katzgraber, a Principal Research Manager at Microsoft and an External Professor at SFI. “The number of quantum algorithms we have is limited, and most of them don’t really have any practical value,” he adds.
