.Tensor Networks for Quantum Machine Learning Variational Algorithm Simulation (QMLVA simulation) in application to Artificial Vision: This position focuses on exploring the use of Tensor Networks (TN) as an efficient tool to simulate Quantum Variational Algorithms (QVA) in the context of Quantum Machine Learning (QML).
Given the significant limitations of current quantum hardware, such as noise and restricted availability, the project aims to optimize simulation techniques using TN, comparing their effectiveness against classical machine learning algorithms and QML implemented on quantum hardware.
This will help identify optimal TN configurations, assess their generalization and scalability capabilities, and provide practical guidance on selecting the most suitable technology based on the problem and available resources.
It is being explored the application to AV.
Title of the project to be incorporated: Quantum Lab (DeustoTech) at the University of Deusto PI and/or project manager: Endowment of the contract: 27.262,05 €/year.
2 years Funding Entity: Requirements Qualifications: Master or qualification to enroll as PhD student.
Experience required: To successfully execute this proposal, advanced expertise in quantum computing is required, with a strong understanding of quantum algorithms, particularly Variational Quantum Algorithms (QVA) and Quantum Machine Learning (QML).
A solid foundation in mathematical concepts related to Tensor Networks (TN) and their application in simulating quantum systems is essential, along with proficiency in programming and the use of specialized tools and libraries such as TensorFlow, TeNPy, Qiskit, or Pennylane.
Additionally, strong research and analytical skills are needed to conduct comprehensive state-of-the-art reviews, as well as experimentation and optimization capabilities to compare configurations and evaluate performance in terms of scalability, accuracy, and efficiency.
Experience with advanced hardware, including quantum simulators and high-performance computing systems, is critical, alongside expertise in technical report writing and effectively communicating results to the scientific community.
