Testbed Specifics:
- Testbed 1 unites projects in HW and SW for Quantum Processors
- Testbed 2 unites HW and SW for Quantum Networks, Communications, Distributed Computing and Sensing
- Testbeds serve as vehicles for hands-on training
Current Funded Research Project Areas
Focus: Automated discovery of quantum optimizations to support an end-to-end Quantum Compiler
- Approaches for automatically discovering and verifying optimizations for circuit transformations and qubit mapping
- ML-based end-to-end optimizations.
Focus: Create SiC devices with atom-like defects at lithographically defined locations.
- Defects should trap a single electron whose spin is expected to be sensitive to weak external electric and magnetic fields.
Focus: Improve robustness for cryptography through the study of new sources of hardness and create an alternate basis for quantum cryptography. As a by-product, we will construct practically efficient, fully homomorphic encryption and multi-party computation schemes.
