ABOUT
Quantum Software Lab
workshop, December 2022
This is the first working group of the recently awarded EPSRC strategy package of Quantum Advantage Pathfinder project that will form the basis of the future Quantum software lab to be launched in 2023 in collaboration with National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The project mission is to turn industry pain points into quantum research problems, through a systematic Specification of desired mathematical properties, to guide the Design of necessary algorithmic modules, with their Implementation on hardware accompanied by performance Benchmarking, to enable researchers to investigate the enhancements necessary for current or future hardware/software platforms in a certifiable and verifiable way.
