Abstract : In this talk, I will give a general introduction to quantum algorithms for electronic structure calculations. Then, 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. The workhorse of our technique is a shallow neural network encoding the desired state of the system with the amplitude computed by sampling the Gibbs−Boltzmann distribution using a quantum circuit and the phase information obtained classically from the nonlinear activation of a separate set of neurons.  In Addition to present  successful applications for electronic structure  of 2D-materials I will discuss  the training dynamics by unraveling how quantum information is scrambled through such a network introducing correlation among its constituent sub-systems. Finally, I will discuss possible applications of RBM in the field of open quantum dynamics.
