DESCRIPTION:\nAnnotation\nUnderstanding quantum many-body systems is one o
 f the main challenges in both condensed matter physics and quantum computi
 ng. The difficulty comes from the exponential growth of the Hilbert space\
 , which quickly makes these problems hard to handle\, both classically and
  on quantum devices. Many of these systems have symmetries\, but their rol
 e in quantum algorithms is often not fully applied. As a results\, quantum
  algorithms may explore large parts of the Hilbert space that are not phys
 ically relevant.\nIn this talk\, it will be discussed how symmetries can b
 e used in a more practical way when designing quantum algorithms. Spin mod
 els will be used as examples where the role of symmetry can be clearly see
 n. In these systems\, symmetry constraints reduce the effective size of Hi
 lbert space\, increase spectral gaps\, and help the algorithms focus on th
 e physically relevant part of the problem. This leads to a more stable and
  efficient behavior of the algorithms such as variational quantum algorith
 m (VQE)\, quantum phase estimation (QPE) and its iterative version (IQPE).
 \nBenefits for the attendees\, what they will learn:\nThe seminar will pro
 vide an overview of how symmetries can be used in quantum algorithms for m
 any- body systems. Participants will gain an understanding of how symmetry
  constraints and projection techniques can improve quantum state preparati
 on\, optimisation in variational algorithms\, and the performance of phase
  estimation methods. The talk will also offer a practical perspective on h
 ow these ideas can be incorporated into existing quantum algorithms.\nLeve
