Abstract

Differentiable programming makes the optimization of a tensor network much cheaper (in unit of brain energy consumption) than before [e.g. arXiv: 1903.09650]. This talk mainly focuses on the technical aspects of differentiable programming tensor networks and quantum circuits with Yao.jl (https://github.com/QuantumBFS/Yao.jl). I will also show how quantum circuits can help with contracting and differentiating tensor networks.
