Efficient Quantum Simulation of Solid-State Materials via Pseudopotentials

Explore a 25-minute conference talk from the Theory of Quantum Computation (TQC 2024) that presents groundbreaking techniques for efficient quantum simulation of solid-state materials using pseudopotentials. Learn about innovative approaches that significantly reduce computational complexity in quantum algorithms by eliminating the need to simulate highly localized core orbitals. Discover new methods including high-accuracy QROM interpolation of exponential functions, combined with QROM for pseudopotential parameters and coherent arithmetic. Understand how these techniques extend to simulating materials with non-cubic unit cells and their practical application in commercially relevant heterogeneous catalysis simulations. Presented at OIST, Japan, this talk is part of the prestigious annual conference that brings together leading researchers in theoretical quantum information science.
