Description

Advances in Many-Body Theories: from First Principle Methods to Quantum Computing and Machine Learning

Quantum computing and machine learning are two of the most promising approaches for studying complex physical systems where several length and energy scales are involved. Traditional many-particle methods, either quantum mechanical or classical ones, face huge dimensionality problems when applied to studies of systems with many interacting particles. By bringing together experts from these fields, this workshop will explore the links between these exciting new approaches and traditional many-particle methods in order to map out future research paths.

The workshop will be held through the Zoom Platform. Only who has registered in Eventbrite can participate in the workshop

The recording will be uploaded on the ECT* YouTube Channel.

      Quantum Technologies for High Energy Physics: the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative 45m

      CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, operates the largest particle accelerator in the world and has a long tradition of collaboration and excellence in fundamental physics research. Quantum Technologies have seen an incredible development over just the last few years in all their aspects, computing, sensing, communications and theory. After a few years of pilot investigations, CERN has announced the creation of its Quantum Technology Initiative to understand the potential of these technologies for High Energy Physics, but also to contribute to their future development. This talk highlights the main objectives and current activities of the CERN Quantum Technology Initiative. A special emphasis will be placed on the Quantum Computing aspect and the activities carried out by CERN openlab, outlining the initial investigations that use quantum machine learning in High Energy Physics.
