Ad for Machine Learning for Quantum Simulation virtual conference

This virtual conference brings together the fast-growing community of researchers from condensed matter physics, quantum computing, quantum chemistry, and computer science working on the development of machine learning methods to study challenging problems in many-body quantum science.

Topics will include: Neural-network quantum states; Dynamics of many-body quantum systems; Tomography and characterization of quantum machines; Variational Algorithms on Quantum Hardware; Stochastic Optimization in Quantum Monte Carlo methods; ML-enhanced Density Functional Theory. The conference will also feature a session introducing the open-source NetKet software and selected applications.
