Abstract:

Quantum computation performs calculations by using quantum devices instead of electronic devices following classical physics and used by classical computers. Although general purpose quantum computers of practical scale may be many years away, special purpose quantum computers are being built with capabilities exceeding classical computers. One prominent case is the D-Wave quantum computer with over 1000 quantum bits (qubits) that is built to implement quantum annealing for performing Monte Carlo sampling and solving hard combinatorial optimization problems. This talk will provide statistical analysis of quantum annealing and its potential applications in problems such as machine learning and finance. In particular I will discuss the implementations of quantum annealing by the D-Wave quantum computer and various Monte Carlo based annealing approaches.

Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
