Enabling efficient computation on fault tolerant quantum computers

Project description

Quantum computing cost efficiency and precision

Quantum computing technologies have the potential to revolutionise numerous sectors and research fields, enabling researchers to solve complex problems and processes that previously required unattainable amounts of computing power. However, the novelty, cost, and size of current quantum computing solutions limit access for most researchers and users. The EIC-funded COMFTQUA project aims to develop a groundbreaking set of hardware-agnostic quantum algorithms, along with hardware-aware implementations, to reduce quantum circuit size and enhance execution precision. The project will focus on optimising the application layer for quantum computers, implementing solutions for optimal hardware utilisation, and improving problem-solving capabilities.

Objective

Our solution is an innovative suite of hardware-agnostic quantum algorithms, along with their hardware-aware implementations. Our solution will consist of a complete, multi-level set of techniques that reduce quantum circuits’ size and improve their fidelity when executed on real quantum hardware.
We will enable relevant business problems, too difficult for conventional computing, to be solved several years earlier.
The exemplary solution consists of:
1) Application layer with problem reduced (classically) to the form best suited for QC. [In case of routing this is parallel TSP reduced, for example to max 2-SAT]
2) Optimisation layer containing features guaranteeing optimal representation given problem size. This includes our decomposition techniques for multi-control quantum gates
3) Implementation layer guaranteeing optimal use of the hardware (this includes hardware aware implementation, taking into account the topology (qubit connectivity) and native gate set.
