Upcoming Talk: Machine Learning Meets Quantum Many-Body Physics

10/04/23 | Jadwin Hall | Room A10

We are delighted to announce that the second talk in the series will be given by Juan Felipe Carrasquilla Alvarez (Vector). 

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss our work on using models inspired by natural language processing in the realm of many-body physics. Specifically, I will demonstrate their utility in reconstructing quantum states and simulating the real-time dynamics of open quantum systems. Finally, I will show the efficacy of using these models for combinatorial optimization, yielding solutions of high accuracy compared to traditional simulated and simulated quantum annealing methods.

What happens if we train large (language) models on scientific data?
Location
Jadwin Hall A10

In recent years, the fields of natural language processing and computer vision have been revolutionized by the success of large models pretrained with task-agnostic objectives on massive, diverse datasets. This has, in part, been driven by the use of self-supervised pretraining methods which allow models to utilize far more training data than…
