Exactly Solved Models and Quantum Computing

The ongoing revolution in quantum science holds great promise for engineering, controlling and probing quantum many-body systems, with potential applications from quantum chemistry and materials all the way to high-energy and gravitational physics, whose computational challenges are out of reach for classical computers.

Notoriously difficult to treat in general, quantum many-body systems nonetheless contain a subset of exactly-solvable instances allowing for detailed understanding of non-perturbative effects. This workshop will explore the utility of such models in the context of quantum computation, with a focus on targeted eigenstate construction, benchmarks for quantum simulation, hydrodynamical effects with experimental applicability, relaxation and integrability breaking, and perspectives for solvability beyond integrability.

This workshop will gather experts and rising stars of theoretical & experimental physics and of quantum computing, working at the intersection of many-body physics and quantum information science. Besides  disseminating the latest ideas and developments, participants will brainstorm to provide new perspectives on important current questions, and help identify new pathways. Activities will be organized around turorials, talks and focused afternoon sessions, culminating in the formulation of a vision statement to help guide further research.
