DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is emerging as a new paradigm for the solutio
 n of a wide class of problems that are not accessible by conventional high
  performance classical computers. Quantum computers can in principle effic
 iently solve problems that require exponential resources on classical hard
 ware\, even when using the best known classical algorithms. In the last fe
 w years\, several interesting solutions with potential quantum speedup hav
 e been brought forward in the domain of quantum physics\, like the quantum
  phase estimation and the hybrid variational quantum eigensolver [1] for t
 he solution of optimization problems. The original idea that a quantum com
 puter can potentially solve many-body quantum mechanical problems more eff
 iciently than classical computers is due toR. Feynman who proposed the use
  of quantum algorithms to investigate the fundamental properties of nature
  at the quantum scale. In particular\, the solution of the electronic stru
 cture and statistical mechanics problems is a challenging computational ta
 sk as the number of resources increases exponentially with the number of d
 egrees of freedom. Thanks to the development of new quantum technologies w
 itnessed over the last decades\, we have now the possibility to address th
 is class of problems with the help quantum computers. To achieve this goal
 \, new quantum algorithms able to best exploit the potential quantum speed
 up of state-of-the-art noisy quantum hardware have also been developed [2\
 ,3]. In this talk\, I will first introduce the basics of quantum computing
  using superconducting qubits\, focusing on those aspects that are crucial
  for the implementation of quantum chemistry and physics algorithms. In th
 e second part\, I will highlight the potential advantages of the new gener
 ation of quantum algorithms for applications in electronic structure calcu
 lations for ground [4] and excited states [5]\, molecular dynamics [6]\, a
 nd statistical physics [7].\nVortragende(r): Dr. Ivano Tavernelli
