In this talk, David Jennings will give an overview of quantum algorithms for PDEs, describe PsiQuantum’s current state-of-the-art understanding, and discuss the potential for significant quantum advantage in areas such as fluid dynamics and plasma physics:
Extensive work is being done both to construct a full-scale quantum computer, and to design quantum algorithms to run on such a device. One of the major applications will be in the simulation of the dynamics of quantum systems, where exponential advantage over classical methods is expected. However, the Schrödinger equation is ultimately a particular differential equation and so one could ask: to what degree does quantum advantage extend to more general differential equations?
David Jennings obtained his PhD in Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University in 2009. He worked in High Energy Physics before moving into Quantum Information Theory, beginning with a postdoc in the University of Sydney on measurement-based and photonic quantum computing. He then worked at Imperial College London, where he held a Royal Commission of 1851 Fellowship, and at Oxford University, where he held a Royal Society Research Fellowship. He has published over 50 papers on a wide range of topics in quantum information theory, from entanglement to quantum channels, thermodynamics, and quantum field systems. Currently, he works with PsiQuantum on the development of fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, and lectures at both Imperial College London and the University of Leeds.
