QuSoft researchers propose new quantum architecture
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have proposed a new architecture for a scalable quantum computer. Making use of the collective motion of the constituent particles, they were able to construct new building blocks for quantum computing that pose fewer technical difficulties than current state-of-the art methods. The results were recently published in Physical Review […]
PhD Defence Farrokh Labib: “Quasirandomness in quantum information theory”
On Wednesday, January 26, Farrokh Labib will defend his thesis on “Quasirandomness in quantum information theory”. Farrokh’s dissertation contributes to a large international research program that is trying to map out how information can be processed on quantum systems and when this has or does not have advantages over ‘classical’ information processing. This is important […]
Stacey Jeffery wins ERC starting grant for quantum algorithms on quantum computers with limited memories
Stacey Jeffery, senior researcher at QuSoft and part of CWI’s Algorithms and Complexity Group in Amsterdam, is awarded an ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million euro for research on Algorithms, Security and Complexity for Quantum Computers (ASC-Q). The grant helps ambitious younger researchers launch their own projects, form their teams and pursue their best ideas. […]
