Welcome to the Institute for Quantum Inspired and Quantum Optimization at the Hamburg University of Technology

The Institute for Quantum Inspired and Quantum Optimization was established on 11/1/2022 and will be expanded in the coming months.

 

Our work focuses on fundamental research on various quantum computing aspects with the goal of achieving a useful quantum advantage:

  • Quantum system characterization (a.k.a. QCVV),
    e.g. quantum tomography, randomized benchmarking, shadow estimation
  • Quantum algorithms
  • Gate synthesis and Hamiltonian engineering
  • Combinatorial optimization
  • Quantum error correction
  • Classical simulation of complex quantum systems
  • Methods: applied math, computational complexity, compressed sensing, convex and non-convex optimization, representation theory, random matrix theory, tensor networks
