We will introduce how to simulate quantum computations in a python framework called PennyLane (https://pennylane.ai/). Starting with simple gates and visualizations on the Bloch sphere as introduced in the lecture "Introduction to Quantum Theory" by Otfried Gühne, we will discuss an example of a more complex algorithm (likely Shor's algorithm) and implement it. We will use PennyLane (as opposed to other, possibly still more popular frameworks like qiskit) as it nicely integrates with the most popular machine learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch) and is of large interest to students who are interested in focusing on research topics in our (learning + optimization focused) group.
