Quantum computing fault injection
Reference persons BARTOLOMEO MONTRUCCHIO
Description Quantum Computing is one of the most promising technology advances of the latest years.
The idea behind Quantum Computing is that, by using the superposition property of particles, it is possible to execute several operations in parallel, allowing an incredible computing capability. Once only a conceptual idea to solve physics simulations, quantum computation is today a reality, with numerous machines able to execute quantum algorithms.
One of the hardest challenges in quantum computing is reliability. The Quantum Bits (qubits) are highly sensitive to noise, that can be so high to make the output useless. Moreover, lately it has been shown that qubits are extremely susceptible to external sources of faults, such as ionizing radiation.
The project focus is to efficiently improve the reliability of quantum circuits at application level. The student will take advantage of already developed models and circuits to propose novel reliability solutions. Specifically the thesis proposal includes:
- understand the basis of quantum computing
- learn how to program and execute a circuit on a quantum computer
- study the latest results about quantum computer noise and radiation sensitivity
- propose application level solutions to efficiently improve quantum reliability
Requirements:
- the student will work on the application level: no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is required, much like no knowledge of microelectronics is required to program a traditional computer.
- programming in Python
- a sufficient level of English to interact with international collaborators and to write research papers
