Abstract:
Quantum computers provide possible advantages over classical computer due to its
superposition nature. However, in the NISQ era, the hardware is limited by the noise and
the scalability. Thus, it is crucial to combine the available quantum computing resources
with classical computational techniques for practical use. In this talk, we will mainly focus
on the strategies to make the quantum computers with few qubits capable to deal with
combinatorial optimization problems with lots of variables, as well as some machine
learning techniques that could help for this purpose.

Biography:
Chen-Yu Liu is currently a PhD candidate at the Graduate Institute of Applied Physics,
National Taiwan University, supervised by Prof. Hsi-Sheng Goan. He got his BS degree
in National Dong Hwa University (2018) and received his MS degree in National Tsing
Hua University (2020). He was an apprentice quantum researcher at the Entropica Labs,
prior to his PhD program. His current research interest includes quantum optimization
and machine learning for quantum computing.
