-- Main.KathrynStoltzfus - 04 Apr 2018 Title: Quantum computing and cumerical statistics “Quantum computing” is a frequent and highly praised guest on the “popular sciences” pages but only a few big players like IBM, Google or Lockheed-Martin are seriously involved in the respective software and hardware development. While theory of quantum information and various theoretical aspects of quantum computing attracted probabilists for decades the examples of practical applications are very rare. The major aim of the talk is to discuss opportunities of quantum computing in statistics and related areas. The progress of hardware and algorithmic support stimulated multiple efforts in implementation of quantum algorithms in information processing, machine learning and Monte-Carlo computations. Machine learning and artificial intelligence comprise important applied areas where quantum optimization (for instance, quantum annealing) is expected to give a major boost. Classification problems constitute another area where quantum computing looks promising.
