QUantum advantage via non-linear BOSon Sampling

Project description

The winding (non-linear) road toward a quantum leap in computational power

Quantum computing has long held the imagination of scientists and the public alike as the next great frontier, far beyond supercomputing. Relying on qubits rather than conventional bits, using the properties of quantum physics to store data and perform computations, these machines have now been realised at small scales. The fundamental goal is getting to the quantum advantage, realising the quantum computer's promise to solve problems intractable with conventional ones. The EU-funded QU-BOSS project is planning to do so using a novel approach involving non-linear dynamics embedded within integrated photonics technology.
