QuSoft is the first research center dedicated to Quantum software. The center is housed at research institute CWI, located at Amsterdam Science Park. It is an initiative of the CWI, the UvA and the VU. The study of QuSoft complements the screening of QuTech, which focuses on the development of quantum hardware to. This allows the position of the Netherlands in the research world is strengthened in this area.
The research mainly focuses on research areas and applications for a small number of qubits (quantum mini computers), testing and debugging of quantum systems. It also engages in quantum cryptography. It operates, inter alia, to cryptographic encryption methods which can easily be cracked. This is important for the protection of our economic infrastructure.
The aim of the center is to develop software and to find applications that can leverage the power of quantum computers. Quantum software requires different techniques and approaches than traditional software. This is because the properties of the quantum computer, such as superposition, interference and entanglement, different from the traditional computer.
Professors lead QuSoft
Harry Buhrman, co-creator of the center and professor of computer science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Kareljan Schouten, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Amsterdam form the management of QuSoft. They will give guidance on the research with the aim of developing new protocols, algorithms and applications. “What makes the center special is that physicists, computer scientists and mathematicians jointly investigate how quantum principles can enable faster computations and better information,” said Schouten
