Abstract: With rapid progress being made in the development of quantum computers, there is increasing interest in whether quantum computation can provide an advantage in the domain of quantum chemistry. Beginning from the question “What is a quantum computer?”, I will outline directions for demonstrating quantum utility on both near-term and long-term quantum computers, in particular focussing on the computation of Hamiltonian moments as a promising near- to mid-term application.

Bio: Michael is a PhD student at the University of Melbourne focusing on enhancing the capabilities of near-term quantum computers through algorithm design, especially in application to quantum chemistry. He also completed his Bachelor’s in chemical physics and Master’s in physics at the University of Melbourne.
