Quantum Computing: a future path for High Energy Physics — •Karl Jansen — DESY, Platanenallee 6, 15738 Zeuthen

Quantum computers offer the fascinating possibility to outperform classical computers or to even solve problems that cannot be addressed by classical computations. We will describe particular examples of quantum computing approaches such as the hybrid quantum/classical variational quantum eigensolver and quantum machine learning, including graph neural networks and quantum generative adversarial neural networks. We demonstrate successful applications of these methods at selected problems in theoretical and experimental high energy physics. In addition, we show, how by developing new methods for error mitigation and for analyzing the expressivity of quantum circuits the quantum noise of existing hardware platforms can be mildened.
