Quantum Linear System Solvers: Unleashing the Potential$675Kvalue2024start2027end

The project investigates the potential of quantum linear solvers such as the HHL algorithm and the Quantum Singular-Value Transform (QSVT) algorithm for achieving exponential speedup, taking into considerations challenges such as the need for quantumly-accessible Random-Access Memory (qRAM), sparsity/well-conditioning of the associated matrix, and fault-tolerant quantum computing. The primary focus is on determining realistic quantum advantages and exploring industry use cases. The Project aims to perform resource estimates for HHL-based algorithms and QSVT using the surface code and color co

UKRI Quantum - 10074653 - Quantum Benchmarking - Benchmarking networking interconnect for distributed quantum computers$419Kvalue2023start2025end

Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way to

Full Stack Quantum API Developer$20.0Kvalue2019start2019end

We will develop a common quantum API product in which the client will use a high-level quantum language to write the quantum program once, regardless of the targeted physical architecture. The API will compile, optimize and translate the code to every specific quantum architecture; in other words, the API will instantiate the quantum stack described above to every available quantum hardware platform.
