Our upcoming event for the Statistics Colloquium Series is scheduled for Monday, April 20 from 12:00 – 1:00pm (ET) and will be an in-person presentation at Maxwell-Dworkin 134A/B. Lunch will be provided to guests following the talk. This week's speaker will be Jordan Cotler, Assistant Professor of Harvard's Department of Physics.
Quantum computers are expected to exceed the capabilities of traditional supercomputers in performing certain algorithms. I will illustrate how quantum computing, and in particular quantum statistical learning, can advance our understanding of the natural world, enabling access to physics beyond the reach of conventional experimental approaches. For example, coupling quantum computers to experimental systems can facilitate novel methods for learning properties of quantum many-body states and quantum many-body dynamics which are otherwise inaccessible. Empirical evidence supporting theoretical findings will be presented.
