Qounselor focuses on the practical evaluation of quantum computers and the identification of useful applications for academic and industrial partners. This work covers both the definition of realistic benchmarks and the formulation of problems compatible with current and future machines.
Research thematics
Benchmarking, compilation, and resource estimation
Qounselor conducts research along three complementary themes :
The definition of benchmarking protocols to evaluate quantum computers and measure their performance under realistic conditions.
The development of compilation methods for analog quantum architectures and gate-based quantum computers.
The estimation of the resources required to run quantum algorithms on fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures, known as FTQC.
This work aims to characterize the effective capabilities of quantum machines and prepare their use for future industrial applications.
Example of research study
Quantum computing benchmarking
Qounselor develops benchmarking protocols to evaluate quantum processor performance and determine the performance regimes of quantum computers. The objective is to identify the regimes in which a quantum machine can exhibit relevant behavior, as well as the properties of problem instances that influence the performance of the quantum machine.
Example study: We studied the ability of D-Wave analog quantum machines to solve optimization problem instances of increasing difficulty. This study enabled the characterization of different performance regimes and the analysis of their relationship to certain structural properties of the instances.
Qounselor is working in partnership with the IRIDA laboratory at the University of Cyprus to apply quantum optimization methods to wireless communication systems. The IRIDA laboratory specializes in wireless communications, signal processing, and 5G/beyond-5G networks, which anchors this work in problems close to real-world communication systems.
Example study: This collaboration enabled the study of optimization methods compatible with NISQ machines for data transmission over noisy channels. The quantum computer is used to search for suitable precoding schemes to improve transmission quality over the communication channel.
