Objective

QuoUSKWe aims to accelerate the adoption of quantum computing by addressing key barriers such as complex programming interfaces, limited optimization, and fragmented development tools.
The project is structured around four main research pillars of relevant academic and industrial interest.
Compiler and Toolchain Innovation: new software tools to enhance quantum programming, integrating the Qrisp language and building a more intuitive, reusable, and extensible compiler infrastructure based on MLIR technology. By combining classical and quantum optimizations, the project aims at improving the quality and efficiency of algorithms running on quantum devices.
Quantum Cryptanalysis: new quantum algorithms/circuits to accelerate attacks against quantum-safe cryptosystems, which will be used to evaluate the degree of vulnerability of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms. This research will contribute to the development of secure systems for public, commercial, and governmental use.
Quantum Artificial Intelligence(AI) in AI-Radio Area Networks (RAN) for 6G: combines classical & quantum computing to enhance AI methods designed for real-time threat detection, low-latency autonomous control, and the implementation of Zero-Trust architectures in 6G AI-RAN environments.
Quantum simulation of strongly correlated systems: explores how Hamiltonian simulation and quantum algorithms can support the ground state preparation of strongly correlated systems to address the limitations of real hardware, and unlock superpolynomial execution for applications in materials, chemistry, and optimization domains.
A key feature of QuoUSKWe is its focus on fostering strategic research collaborations between EU and ROK universities and firms, which will use their complementary expertise to accelerate the co-design and development of quantum technologies, ensuring both regions remain leaders in quantum innovation.
