Plans for the week of March 4-8

Dear all, welcome back to FYS5419/9419.

The plans this week are to introduce the final Hamiltonian model of project 1, the so-called Lipkin model. We will rewrite it in terms of Pauli X, Y, and Z matrices. The slides this week contain a lot of technical material, but we will go through the technicalities of the Lipkin on the whiteboard and derive the final expressions we need for implementations in project 1. 

Next week, we will simply discuss how to solve the project. No new material will be introduced and we will just work with the project. The last lecture before the Easter break will also be devoted to work on project 1 and introduction of the important Quantum Fourier algorithm. We will also discuss possible paths for project 2 after the Easter break.

The slides this week in the form of a jupyter-notebook are at https://github.com/CompPhysics/QuantumComputingMachineLearning/blob/gh-pages/doc/pub/week8/ipynb/week8.ipynb

Do not worry about all the technicalities. They are mostly meant as background and we will go through the essentials relevant for the project during the lecture March 6.

Best wishes to you all,

Keran, Morten and Ruben
