IDA x QIS Workshop by Kristín Björg Arnardóttir

For students at KU/DTU`s Quantum Information Science

Kristín (MQS, PhD) will lead a hands-on workshop on computational techniques and state of the art tools for chemistry related quantum simulations. She will give an introduction in a mini-lecture style followed up by exercises, which the participants will be able to solve under her guidance on their own devices.

Participants will work with Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) and Quantum Subspace Expansion (QSE), gaining deeper insights and intuition into their implementations. The session will focus on executable examples and workflows using widely used tools such as Qiskit, PennyLane and OpenFermion (potentially even the new QDK from Microsoft).

Participants will learn how to use these libraries combined to build and run chemistry related quantum simulations. The workshop is designed for the QIS Master students, so prior knowledge is helpful but not required. Students who
wish to prepare are welcome to set up an environment in python with the libraries mentioned.
