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