Title: Quantum Machine Learning and Other Quantum Algorithms: An Astronomer’s Guide
Abstract: Despite the limitations of current quantum hardware, several quantum algorithms have been shown to provide a speedup over their classical counterparts. This has prompted interest in quantum computing within multiple fields, with varying levels of success. In an attempt to motivate further explorations of quantum advantage within astronomy, this talk provides an introduction to the modern era of quantum computing and highlights the algorithms that are most likely to influence our field. Particular emphasis will be placed on quantum machine learning, the state of quantum architecture, and the tools that astronomers can use in order to utilize both real and simulated quantum devices.
