Quantum machine-learning for electronic structure calculations
Sabre Kais, Purdue University

 In this talk, I will focus on quantum machine learning, particularly the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), as it emerged to be a promising alternative approach  leveraging  the power of quantum computers. To demonstrate its efficacy, we show its performance on calculating electronic structure of small molecular systems like LiH, H2O and also computation of band structures in 2D materials like graphene, h-BN and monolayer transition-metal di-chalcogenides which are hitherto unexplored in quantum simulations.
