Quantum Computing (COMP)

The aim here is to compute with qubits, which provides a considerable (exponential) advantage in the execution speed of some algorithms. A wide variety of physical systems can be exploited to perform qubits, and basic elements for new quantum architectures, including control and readout electronics, must be developed to control large numbers of qubits.

Moreover, algorithms increasingly tolerant to errors are to be conceived for the exploitation of the quantum computer; Beyond functions such as factorization, optimization problems and “deep” learning are particularly studied.
