    We will present in this talk some new ideas and features pertaining to Higher Order Quantum Walks (also known as Quantum Walks with memory). It is known that quantum walks play a very important role in the design of algorithms for our "soon to arrive at a store near you" quantum computers. Because of this, there is an active research community constructing various different types of quantum walks with different properties.

    Research goals of this talk are focused on the renewal theory, some aspects of the fluctuation theory and asymptotic properties for the first order maximal autoregressive processes of the Kendall type, which are discrete time Lévy processes under the Kendall convolution. Since most of the considered processes have heavy tailed distributions, then we rely on the use of results in the theory of extreme event modeling.

    Abuzer Yakaryilmaz, University of Latvia

    In this talk, we shortly introduce the emerging field quantum software (quantum programming and quantum machine learning), and then we discuss how we can be involved and then shape the field. We explain why education is our primary focus and how we can use pedagogical tools to attract new generation and people to the field. We share our own experiences, our ongoing projects, and also our upcoming projects. At the end, we discuss possible collaborations.

  • Utilizing Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization problem for simulating dynamics of quantum system

    We introduce a novel approach to simulate dynamical (linear) systems (quantum or otherwise) parallel in time using quantum annealers. In particular,  we describe how the solution state vector can be found by solving a specifically crafted system of linear equations. Moreover, we demonstrate that such systems can, in fact, be effectively solved (up to a given precision) with Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization. This naturally leads to a class of hybrid classical-quantum algorithms that can be implemented and executed on near-term quantum annealers.
