git basics
*Snacks and drinks at 4 pm*
**NOTE: There is an optional workshop after the talk for those who are interested in learning more about git and trying it out themselves. It is suggested to bring their laptop with them and stay for the workshop (~10-30 minutes).

Quantum Algorithm for Simulating the Wave Equation
*Drinks and snacks served at 4 pm*
We present a quantum algorithm for simulating the wave equation. The algorithm uses Hamiltonian simulation and quantum linear system algorithms as subroutines. We use factorizations of discretized Laplacian operators to improve state preparation (relative to other algorithms) and scaling with respect to truncation errors. We will also consider using Hamiltonian simulation for Klein-Gordon equations and Maxwell’s equations.
