SUMMARY:Modern Quantum Computing on Near Term Hardware. … over the c
 loud\, R. G. Herb Condensed Matter Seminar\, Dr. Raphael Pooser\, Oak 
 Ridge National Lab
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will outline recent advances in the field o
 f computing enabled by quantum mechanics. Quantum computing is poised 
 to enter into an era where computational power surpasses what classica
 l machines can do. In this near-term era\, when devices are not yet fa
 ult tolerant\, but still out of reach of classical computers\, the cha
 llenge is to harness them for useful computation despite the presence 
 of significant noise in these systems. In particular\, error mitigatio
 n is required to obtain useful results from these systems. We will out
 line several error mitigation techniques and show how they can be used
  in combination. One of the immediate applications on near term hardwa
 re include optimization of sampling from unknown probability distribut
 ions\, which have applications in a broad array of quantum simulations
 \, from chemistry to nuclear physics to field theory problems.  After 
 a brief review of the field\, we will discuss several current architec
 tures and applications of quantum computing.
