- 📍 Venue: Lecture Theatre 1, Computer Laboratory, William Gates Building
Abstract
This talk explores the basics of quantum computational electromagnetics, focusing on Hamiltonian-based optimization for microwave/RF components in future wireless networks. We also highlight variational eigen-solvers and Riemann-Silberstein time-domain solvers for NISQ architectures, enabling the simulation of high-dimensional problems and enhancing quantum-assisted engineering design.
