DESCRIPTION:<h3>Talk 1: A critical limitation of quantum imaginary tim
 e evolution-like algorithms in noisy quantum hardware (Thi Ha Kyaw)</h
 3>
\n
\nAbstract: The variational quantum imaginary time evolution alg
 orithm is efficient in finding the ground state of a quantum Hamiltoni
 an. This algorithm involves solving a system of linear equations in a 
 classical computer and the solution is then used to propagate a quantu
 m wavefunction. Here\, we show that owing to the noisy nature of curre
 nt quantum processors\, such a quantum algorithm or the family of quan
 tum algorithms that require classical computation of inverting a matri
 x with high condition number will require single- and two-qubit gates 
 with very low error probability. Failure to meet such conditions will 
 result in erroneous quantum data propagation even for a relatively sma
 ll quantum circuit ansatz. Specifically\, we find the upper bounds on 
 how the quantum algorithmic error scales with the probability of error
 s in quantum hardware. Our work challenges the mainstream notion of hy
 brid quantum-classical quantum algorithms being able to perform under 
 noisy environments while we show such algorithms require very low erro
 r quantum gates to get reliable results.<br>

\n<h3>Talk 2: Improved
  error mitigation protocol by restricted evolution (Gaurav Saxena)</h3
 >
\n
\nAbstract: To perform any meaningful computation using NISQ proc
 essors\, error mitigation protocols need to be deployed in the quantum
  circuits. Here\, we propose a constant runtime error mitigation proto
 col. Further\, we propose a hybrid error mitigation protocol by combin
 ing our methods with the probabilistic error cancellation to improve t
 he bias and the sampling overhead in estimating the expectation value 
 of an observable. We showed that the sampling overhead and the bias of
  our protocol depend on a measure called generalized robustness and we
  also found bounds on this measure under general noise scenario.<br>
