Topic: The complexity-theoretic landscape of Shallow Quantum Circuits
Abstract: Shallow Quantum Circuits are the quantum analogues of constant depth classical circuits. In 2018, Bravyi et al. showed that there is a relational problem that provides an unconditional separation between SQC's and constant depth bounded fan-in classical circuits. This started a flurry of research which led to a lot of separation results between SQC's and stronger classes of classical circuits. We will be discussing the motivations behind research on SQC's and some interesting separation results between SQC's and strictly local classical circuits, geometrically local classical circuits, and constant depth classical circuits. We also briefly look at these separations in the noisy case, and under the interactive model.
Note that the talk does not have any pre-requisites, the speaker would explain the basics required at the beginning.
Thank You
We hope to see you there :)
