[Indico] Michele Rinelli, Stochastic probing methods for estimating the trace of functions of sparse symmetric matrices, 30/05/2023, 16:00 Europe/Rome

Title: Stochastic probing methods for estimating the trace of functions of sparse symmetric matrices, Speaker(s): Michele Rinelli, Scuola Normale Superiore, Date and time: 30 May 2023, 16:00 (Europe/Rome), Lecture series: Seminar on Numerical Analysis, Venue: Dipartimento di Matematica (Aula Riunioni). You can access the full event here: https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/198 Abstract -------- We consider the combination of two approaches for the trace estimation of a symmetric matrix function f(A) when the only feasible operations are matrix-vector products and quadratic forms with f(A): stochastic estimators, such as the Hutchinson estimator and its refined variants Hutch++ and the recent XTrace, and probing methods based on graph colorings. Particularly effective is the case where we replace the indicator vectors for the coloring used in probing by random vectors whose non-zero entries have Rademacher distribution. A theoretical analysis exposes conditions under which using just one Rademacher probing vector per color is provably better than the classical probing approach. Numerical experiments show that existing methods are also outperformed under suitable conditions on the sparsity pattern of A and on the spectrum of f(A). This talk is based on a joint work with Andreas Frommer and Marcel Schweitzer. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/198

[Indico] Federica Pes, Grassmann extrapolation of density matrices as a tool to accelerate Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, 19/05/2023, 15:00 Europe/Rome

Title: Grassmann extrapolation of density matrices as a tool to accelerate Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics, Speaker(s): Federica Pes, Università di Pisa, Date and time: 19 May 2023, 15:00 (Europe/Rome), Lecture series: Seminar on Numerical Analysis, Venue: Dipartimento di Matematica (Aula Riunioni). You can access the full event here: https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/192 Abstract -------- Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) is a powerful but expensive technique. The main bottleneck in a density functional theory (DFT) BOMD calculation is the solution to the DFT nonlinear equations that requires an iterative procedure that starts from a guess for the density matrix. To speed up such calculations, various extrapolation strategies have been developed to use densities available at previous simulation steps as a guess for the iterative procedure. However, density matrices belong in a Grassmann manifold, which is not a vector space. Therefore the linear extrapolation is performed in a tangent space of the manifold, thanks to a locally bijective map between the manifold and its tangent space.In this contribution, we introduce an approximately time reversible approach to extrapolate density matrices. Some numerical experiments show optimal performance, compared to the state of the art. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/192

Buongiorno, inoltro questo annuncio per una posizione a KU Leuven. La posizione è nel gruppo di analisi numerica ed è orientata al quantum computing. A presto, Paola -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Faculty position Numerical Methods for Quantum Computing at KU Leuven Date: Tue, 9 May 2023 13:15:26 +0200 From: Nick Vannieuwenhoven <nick.vannieuwenhoven(a)kuleuven.be> To: paola.boito(a)unipi.it Dear Prof. Paola Boito, We would like to draw your attention to the job offer for the full-time faculty position in /Numerical Methods for Quantum Computing/ at KU Leuven, with application deadline September 14, 2023. A short description is included below. A detailed description is available at https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60205789 Since we believe that the position could be of interest to some of your group members, colleagues or collaborators, we would kindly ask you to forward the message, in particular to excellent post-docs and junior group leaders. Best regards, Nick Vannieuwenhoven ---- Prof. dr. Nick Vannieuwenhoven, Member of the search committee. KU Leuven, Department of Computer Science, Celestijnenlaan 200A, bus 2402, 3001 Heverlee, Belgium. *Faculty Position, Numerical Methods for Quantum Computing, KU Leuven * The Science, Engineering, and Technology Group of KU Leuven invites applications for a full time research professorship in the research unit Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (NUMA). The research in NUMA covers many aspects of computational mathematics, including approximation theory, numerical integration, numerical (multi-) linear algebra, numerical partial differential equations, uncertainty quantification, optimization and control, discrete optimization and scheduling, and high-performance computing. The research unit also performs research in collaboration with industry. The new position aims to strengthen the experience in the domain of quantum computing. Quantum computing is a novel computing paradigm relying on fundamental properties of quantum physics. It features new core building blocks that can lead to exponential speedups relative to traditional computing. This requires a fundamental shift in the design of numerical algorithms and their optimized mapping to available quantum circuits. Candidates are expected to have already obtained excellent research results within the research field of design, analysis, development, and implementation of new quantum algorithms for numerical computing. The successful candidate is expected to develop a research program on quantum computing, ensure high-quality education within the area of mathematical engineering, and be prepared to provide scientific and administrative services. For further details, contact information and the application procedure (deadline September 14, 2023), follow the link: https://www.kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsite/jobs/60205789 The vacancy fits within the KU Leuven Quantum initiative: https://set.kuleuven.be/en/about-us/vacancies/quantum
