NeQST project

Yesterday, we joined the #workshop "applied quantum computing" at the Zentrum für Angewandtes Quantencomputing (ZAQC) of the Fraunhofer IGD in Darmstadt, where actors from #science, applied #research and industry exchanged their insights and experiences. As part of the program, our colleague Sebastian Schmitt gave a talk about his research into quantum computing, our research findings including results from our NeQST project collaboration and current application scenarios in energy and mobility.   Thank you to the ZAQC team for organizing this exciting event and inviting us. We are looking forward to the next event, further discussions and #collaborations. #QuantumComputing #ScienceCommunity

The Quantum Information Days 2024 conference (https://lnkd.in/dxjr6DMy) organized by the Center for Theoretical Physics from 7th to 9th of October in Warsaw has just concluded. It hosted a NeQST special session devoted to quantum information sciences with qudits.  The session was opened by a talk by Martin Ringbauer on "Quantum Computing and Simulation with Qudits", showcasing the innovative goals of the NeQST project. #quantumcomputing #research

Really cool to see that #MQT Qudits (our #opensource framework for mixed-dimensional #qudit #QuantumComputing) made it to the #InnovationRadar of the European Commission.🥳 👉https://lnkd.in/eV-qbv_U MQT Qudits is part of our Munich Quantum Toolkit and has been developed by Kevin Mato with support from Martin Ringbauer and Lukas Burgholzer within the NeQST project. Check out the tool here: https://lnkd.in/e2kSGDKQ And an overview paper here: https://lnkd.in/er9pjk9Z

Qdit applications are finally taking shape! We are very happy and excited that the EU Innovation Radar highlights five NeQST project landmarks in qudit #quantum computing #research as great EU-funded innovations. 1) Certification of qudit devices https://lnkd.in/ddMT-_vH: qudit devices and algorithms require a novel approach for benchmarking. Our research represents the first important step towards systematic methods to assess their reliability. 2) A Framework For Mixed-Dimensional Qudit Quantum Computing https://lnkd.in/d4fzazKK: an efficient and flexible interface is fundamental to designing qudit algorithms. The possibility of having mixed-dimensional encoding allows for leveraging the advantages offered by qudits. 3) Quantum algorithm for bi-directional charging optimization with multiple conflicting objectives https://lnkd.in/d2rHvyVs: efficiently charging a large number of electric vehicles will become a relevant challenge for green mobility. Developing quantum computing today will help us face the problems of tomorrow. 4) Quantum-inspired classical algorithm for integer optimization https://lnkd.in/dHZBacJz: qudit devices and quantum algorithms provide us hints to develop more efficient classical methods to tackle long-standing complex optimization problems. 5) Systems and methods for stochastic and robust optimization of industrial problems using quantum computing https://lnkd.in/dp8T75th: people in NeQST are leveraging the transformative power of quantum computing to deliver innovative and scalable solutions for industrial applications. Many thanks to all our partners and the people who collaborate on the NeQST project! #Innovation #EUresearch #InnovateThroughScience #quantumcomputing

Getting closer and closer!🎉 This week, we hit an exciting milestone: for the first time, we successfully ran quantum circuits generated with 𝗠𝗤𝗧 𝗤𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀, the first open-source framework for mixed-dimensional quantum computing, on the state-of-the-art 𝗾𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 at the University of Innsbruck. A big thank you to Martin Ringbauer and his amazing team—Michael Meth, Lukas Gerster and others—for their invaluable support in achieving this result. While still in its experimental phase, MQT Qudits already offers several powerful features, a quick-start tutorial, and much more to come! 😉 Check out the tool and tutorial here: https://lnkd.in/dXGd9BUu. Also, don’t miss our tutorial on qudit and mixed-dimensional quantum computing at #𝗤𝗖𝗘𝟮𝟰 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹! I want to express my gratitude to the NeQST project and the Unitary Fund for making this possible. A special thank you to Lukas Burgholzer for his support with the integration, and Robert Wille for this incredible opportunity. #NeQST #UnitaryFund #QuantumComputing #MQT #MQV #Compilation #Simulation

This week and last I have been visiting the University of Trento with the group of Philip Hauke. During this visit Gopal Chandra-Santra and I have been working on a project where we analyze the multipartite entanglement structure of the quantum multi objective optimization algorithm. The week has been filled with learning and progress! More news on this to come in the next months! Additionally, I was invited to give a talk about quantum multi objective optimization, based on the paper by Sebastian Schmitt, Hao Wang and myself. I thank the Honda Research Institute Europe GmbH and the European flagship NeQST project for this opportunity.

Today, I was on a "mission" to connect #interdisciplinary #research communities again! At IEEE IOLTS - IEEE International Symposium on On-Line Testing and Robust System Design, I gave a keynote on "Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing: Where Robustness is a Requirement, not a Feature". What makes this so interesting? The IOLTS community has a 30-year-long expertise in #robustness, fault-tolerance, etc. Something the #QuantumComputing community could hugely benefit from (after all, making #QuantumComputers fault-tolerant is a HUGE challenge). I hope that, with my keynote, I was able to bring both communities closer together. Many thanks for having me and the great interest! 🙂We should definitely follow up upon that!👍 By the way, some early #DesignAutomation tools addressing some of those challenges are available through our #opensource tool MQT QECC (part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit)! Check it out at https://lnkd.in/eNZeRXiQ Many thanks to the European Research Council (ERC), the Munich Quantum Valley, as well as Millenion-Quantum and NeQST project for supporting our work in this direction! #FTQC #Robustness #Keynote #Networking #ResearchCommunity #Innovation #Collaboration #KnowledgeExchange #MQT

Last week, Edoardo Ballini, from the group of Università di Trento led by Prof. Philipp Hauke, presented his research within the NeQST project on quantum Zeno transition and dynamical post selection for error mitigation in lattice gauge theories at the workshop Atomtronics, held from the 19th of May to the 1st of June in the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual in the beautiful Spanish Pyrenees. It has been a wonderful occasion to share the latest developments in atomic quantum matter with world-class experts.

Last week Matteo Wauters from the group of Università di Trento led by Prof. Philipp Hauke presented his research within the NeQST project on error mitigation in lattice gauge theories at the international conference #QUANTUMatter 2024 in Donostia- San Sebastian, Spain. We are excited to be part of the development of quantum technologies for scientific and industrial applications!

A great result developed by Robert Wille and his team in the frame of #NeQST project! The Munich Quantum Toolkit is online https://lnkd.in/dqsvWUKh. A special thanks to Kevin Mato for his work implementing it. See this video https://lnkd.in/d5tqUzbK for an overview of the tool and what can be done with it.
