FIrst NEar-TErm ApplicationS of QUAntum Devices
Quantum technologies have set remarkable milestones in the last years, e.g. with quantum advantage experiments and loophole-free Bell tests. Despite this progress, the quantum devices we currently have, the so-called noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, are too imperfect to run textbook quantum algorithms, yet they hold great potential. With their advent, much research has been devoted to finding them a first practical application. Focus on optimization, quantum chemistry and machine learning has been intense, and the developments are closely monitored by governments and industry alike. Variational algorithms in a classical-quantum feedback loop and adiabatic algorithms have…
