Quantum Computing Group

This work aims at combining the notions of discrete (digital) and continuous (analog) quantum processing to design and analyze new and more efficient quantum protocols that can enhance and expand the applications of current and emerging quantum devices.

The project team offers expertise in theoretical condensed matter physics, quantum computer science, and experimental atomic physics, and our approach benefits from a close collaboration among these fields. We are classifying the problems and algorithms that will more likely benefit from the hybrid approach and exploring measures for quantifying the complexity and efficiency of these algorithms to compare them with the intricate problems they can best solve.

On the experimental side, the team will test ideas on systems of neutral atoms with long-range Rydberg interaction, capable of switching between digital and analog modes, to inspire both new algorithms and new hardware designs in a co-design fashion.
