Quantum Simulation

Digital and analog approaches to simulate static and dynamical aspects of materials, chemistry, field theories.

Quantum simulation research connects computer science theoretic questions to practical digital and analog methods. The team studies algorithms, numerical techniques, and validation strategies for quantum computers to emulate or simulate the behavior of complex quantum systems.
