Projects

Based on our experience with QKD devices, we analyze problems related to building and operating point-to-point long distance quantum communication.

We develop quantum protocols and algorithms optimized for the so-called noisy intermediate-scale quantum solutions, the state-of-the art type of early quantum computers available today.

Quantum computing makes classical encryption easily crackable. Post-quantum cryptography investigates protocols that are safe against quantum cracking.

We focus on the emulation of photonic quantum processors on high-performance target hardware. At an appropriate stage of development, our consortium will appear on the map of quantum computer emulators internationally.

We solve autonom decision and optimization tasks by means of our resistive switching memory network which is operating in the quantum domain.

We prepare and investigate a new kind of qubit, the Andreev qubit, which is based on a hybrid semiconductor and superconductor heterostructure.

Telecom wavelength single-photon sources are key components in large-distance quantum communication and in quantum information processing.

The long-term goal is the construction of a universal programming language and related software development tools for classical-quantum mixed algorithms.
