Abstract:

Tensor networks allow one to concentrate classical computational resources in the appropriate region of Hilbert space. They permit a controlled and universal way to simulate quantum systems classically. They may also provide an effective framework to distribute entanglement resources on noisy, intermediate-scale quantum computers. I will discuss our efforts to port the representation, optimisation and time evolution of translationally invariant matrix product states to finite-depth quantum circuits such as Google’s Bristlecone system.
