Quantum simulation and few-qubit applications

This research line addresses applications of small and medium-sized qubit platforms.

INTRO

This research area addresses applications of small and medium-sized qubit platforms (10-100 qubits). In quantum simulation one uses such systems as analogue versions of quantum computers, allowing the study of problems in quantum chemistry and material science, among others. Few-qubit algorithms implemented on 50 or more qubits quickly become intractable for classical computers. This research line also addresses multi-qubit dynamics and quantum control, with applications in the design of quantum registers and in quantum many-body physics.

“We do fundamental research. A recent breakthrough, a source of ultra-cold strontium atoms, appears to be useful for building a workable optical atomic clock.”

iQclock

A team led by professor Florian Schreck is developing a new type of clock, in which atoms are teased into a quantum state in which they actively emit light at an extremely precise frequency, which is what makes the clock tick. Such optical clocks promise to enable faster internet, improve robotic cars and facilitate subterranean exploration.

QuantStro

Within the QuART project quantum gases of strontium are studied. An alkaline-earth element that provides us with long-lived optically excited states, ultra-narrow optical transitions and a large nuclear spin. These properties make Sr uniquely suited for different explorations, applications and exciting research projects.

QuART

QuSoft and SURF joined forces in a one-year partnership. Operating under the name QuART, the collaboration will reveal what quantum computing can do for meteorological ray tracing. Using the properties of a quantum computer allows acces to faster and improved weather models.
