Description

Advancements of detector sensitivity in the next generation of gravitational-wave observatories translate into several orders of magnitude larger detection rates and signals of hours of durations that start at a few Hz frequencies. Alongside the exciting sciences are the immediate challenges to prompt and accurate gravitational wave parameter estimation, a crucial part in gravitational-wave astronomy and multimessenger astrophysics. We have developed a quantum algorithm to tackle the challenges, acknowledging that it is not fully prepared for real-world applications. In this talk, I showcase our algorithm's accuracy by inferring the source properties of simulated gravitational waves generated by binary black hole mergers.
