Title: "Reducing Entanglement with Physically-Inspired Fermion-To-Qubit Mappings"

Abstract: 

In ab-initio electronic structure simulations, fermion-to-qubit mappings represent the initial encoding step of the fermionic problem into qubits. In this session, we will introduce how can we construct physically-inspired mappings that significantly simplify entanglement requirements when simulating states of interest. Ultimately, we will assess ground state simulation of small molecules to provide enhanced performance with respect to prior research employing conventional mappings, both in the frameworks of quantum computing and tensor networks.
