The research of the Quantum Computing Group (QCG) at the Tepper School focuses on the creation of radically different types of algorithms to optimize complex large-scale industrial problems startlingly faster, with the ultimate desired outcome of commercialized algorithms that are easily accessible for practical application.
QCG research takes place in three parallel areas:
Solving practical problems using novel quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms.
Developing robust and efficient processes of translating a mathematical algorithm into physical instructions executed by the hardware — known as compilers — for quantum computers.
Understanding and enhancing quantum speedup: how and why speed is increased, and by how much.
