Quantum State Preparation of Normal Distributions using Matrix Product States

BY: Elton Zhu | March 6, 2023

Monte Carlo methods are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to predict outcomes of complex scenarios with multiple unknowns. They’re commonly used in the financial industry to evaluate risks, price derivatives, and create long-term strategies, as in the case of retirement planning.

Iteration Complexity of Variational Quantum Algorithms

BY: Elton Zhu | September 21, 2022

In collaboration with Czech Technical University, FCAT released a paper analyzing the effect of noise on variational quantum algorithms. Variational quantum algorithms are a family of algorithms where an optimization algorithm implemented on a classical computer evaluates a parametrized quantum circuit as an objective function. The researchers obtained the missing guarantees on the rate convergence in the presence of noise.
