Quantum Computers as “Discovery” machines
Quantum computers will offer a fundamentally different computational paradigm with far reaching implications for scientific, technological, financial and societal advancements. One important aspect of quantum computing is its capability of directly simulating the complex dynamics of various quantum systems. In this talk I will describe how quantum computers can be utilized as effective programmable quantum platforms to accurately prepare complex quantum many-body systems and probe their properties that would be difficult or impossible to realize through experimental means. Hence, such quantum simulation capabilities of quantum computers not only provide computational advantages over classical computational frameworks but act as a discovery machine to identify novel quantum phenomena.
