14:00 - 16:30
Some potential topics for discussion: o Parallelization of quantum classical workflow (chairperson: Andrea D.) o (Large) data encoding and compression schemes (such as PCA) that can keep quantum correlation (chairperson: Miriam) o Quantum Monte Carlo generators (chairperson: Vincent P.) o QAOA (chairperson: Andrea) o QML ((chairperson: Koji) o Quantum generative models (can we make use of quantum data) (chairperson: Vincent C.) o Role of quantum sensing (chairperson: Yacine) Possible new research directions (all). Consolidate and/or start working teams working around selected topics.

14:00 - 16:30
Potential topics to discuss: o Optimization: static calculations (phase transition) (chairperson: Name) Topic: Beyond VQE(?); Martin’s “scaling” ansatz; Quantum subspace expansion (Laurin, Julian) o Dynamics (chairperson: Stefan K. and Jad H.) Topic: Scattering: how large can we scale? Can we reach utility scale? o What else than Trotter? QDRIFT inspired ansatz, (chairperson: Alessandro R.). o Scaling from 1D+1 to 2D+1 and possibly 3D+1 (HW dependences) – near-term vs fault-tolerant (what kind of chip topology will be needed?) (chairperson: Uwe W. and Karl J. and Arianna C.) o Possible new research directions (all). Consolidate and/or start working teams working around selected topics.
