Abstract

In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era (NISQ), we are likely to achieve practical quantum advantage using near-term programmable quantum hardware. To further develop the understanding and utilization of NISQ, we made progresses in three aspects: quantum algorithms, quantum simulation, and quantum software. In this talk, I will discuss how to apply quantum-neural hybrid scheme [1, 2] and quantum architecture search [3, 4] to design variational quantum algorithms and apply quantum error mitigation. I will also discuss how to use quantum computer to model and simulate novel non-equilibrium states and dynamics [5, 6]. Finally, I will introduce the high-performance quantum software framework for the NISQ era – TensorCircuit [7]. These works together pave the way to better understand and investigate the power of NISQ devices.
