Materials for Quantum BOF in JuliaCon 2020

Abstract

Chat about Yao, ITensor, TensorOperations, OMEinsum and development on common infrastructure such as lattices, sparse tensor, domain specific automatic differentiation etc. in Quantum Physics.

Description

Topics to discuss:

  • A Julian lattice package
  • Status of Julia library support for specialized tensor operation backends
  • CuTensor support in CuArrays
  • Support for TBLIS, GETT and similar?
  • Algorithms people want (TDVP, TEBD, tDMRG, any four letter acronym like this)
  • Domain specific automatic differentiation (AD)
  • AD through SVD in Julia libraries such as Zygote
  • GPU stuff
  • multi GPU parallelism
  • exploiting mixed precision for some quantum libraries
  • Tutorial writing
  • Julia quantum as a teaching tool - interactive graph demos?
  • Benchmarking within the Julia community and compared to other packages
