Recent highlights and publications


Three more recent works (selection):
Quantum machine learning beyond kernel methods
One liner: Can all of useful (supervised)quantum machine learning really be expressed as kernel learning? Answer here: link
Hybrid divide-and-conquer approach for tree search algorithms
One liner: When can arbitrarily smaller quantum computers help speed up many search and optimization algorithms? Answer here: link
Towards quantum advantage for topological data analysis
One liner: Can quantum algorithms for topological data analysis be dequantized, or is an exponential speed-up here "safe"? Answer here: link


Published highlights:

pic1 Dec '21: paper "Parametrized quantum policies for reinforcement learning" (published version, arXiv), the first to prove classical/quantum learning separations in reinforcement learning with classical environments is published in NeurIPS '21.


pic1 Dec '21: paper "Reinforcement learning for optimization of variational quantum circuit architectures" (published version, arXiv), where reinforcement learning designs suitable circuits, is published in NeurIPS '21.


pic1 Mar '21: paper "Experimental speed-up up in reinforcement learning agents" (published version, arXiv) done in an international collaboration with a number of universities, institutes and companies is published in Nature.


pic1 Feb '19: paper "Active learning machine learns to create new quantum experiments" (published version, arXiv) done in collaboration with amazing colleagues at University of Innsbruck and IQOQI and University of Vienna awarded the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Cozzarelli Prize.


pic-PRL


Dec '18: paper "Computational Speedups Using Small Quantum Devices" (published version, arXiv) done with friends at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics selected as Phys. Rev. Lett. Editor's Suggestion, and featured in Physics.
