Quantum algorithms for near-term quantum computers

Thesis

One of the most promising applications of quantum computers is computing the ground state energy of quantum mechanical systems. Realisation of this potential requires a comprehensive understanding and refinement of algorithms tailored for such systems, along with pinpointing applications where their impact can be most significant. This thesis aims to contribute to this understanding by investigating two quantum algorithms and exploring their application in novel contexts where they have no...
