Mapping Computational Problems onto Quantum Circuits with Kevin Sung: Qiskit Summer School 2024

This lecture explains how computational problems are mapped onto quantum circuits and observables for two application areas. The first part of the lecture discusses combinatorial optimization, using the max cut problem as an example. The second part discusses quantum chemistry, explaining how systems of electrons are mapped onto qubits using the second quantization formalism.
