CAREER: Frontiers of Low-Depth Quantum Advantage — NSF Award to University of California-San Diego (CA, $468,145)

Quantum computing is a promising new paradigm for computation that could radically change our understanding of scientific phenomena in fields from medicine to chemistry. An implicit assumption in this claim is that quantum computers are more powerful than the (classical) computers that we have today. Somewhat surprisin

AbstractQuantum computing is a promising new paradigm for computation that could radically change our understanding of scientific phenomena in fields from medicine to chemistry. An implicit assumption in this claim is that quantum computers are more powerful than the (classical) computers that we have today. Somewhat surprisingly, however, mathematically proving the superiority of quantum computers is a longstanding and challenging question. The quest to prove this "quantum advantage" is not only import
