Keio University Human Biology-Microbiome-Quantum Research Center (WPI-Bio2Q) will hold a seminar as follows.
This is an event for faculty, students, and staff of Keio University.

Accurately simulating the correlated electronic structure of large biomolecules remains beyond the reach of classical computers. Recent hybrid quantum-classical algorithms in the sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) family offer a promising path forward by combining noisy quantum hardware with classical configuration interaction methods. This talk introduces the unitary cluster Jastrow (UCJ/LUCJ) formulation of SQD, highlighting recent milestones such as the fragmented modeling of a 300-atom miniprotein. I will use simulation data from a variable-length cuprate chain molecule to explore the key question of how the technique may be expected to scale to larger systems such as (non-fragmented) common biomolecules. The talk will also include a broader introduction to quantum algorithm development, contextualizing the robustness to error and input/output efficiencies that make these SQD formulations attractive.
