Project description
Speeding the development of algorithms for the world's fastest computations
Quantum supremacy, as its name suggests, refers to the ability of a quantum computer to perform a computational task beyond the capability of a classical computer. It is a prerequisite to full-scale quantum computing, and its first demonstration in 2019 was a monumental scientific feat, opening the door to a new age of discovery and development. The field of quantum algorithms seeks ways to speed up the solution of problems using quantum computers, and it has never been more relevant. The EU-funded QAFA project is addressing some of the most important known challenges to developing quantum algorithms for real-life problems for maximum impact now.
