Agreement Number:
1002901
Agreement Value:
$216,920.00
Agreement Date:
Mar 27, 2023 - Jun 30, 2025
Description:
The proposed project will advance design of Quantum Computing Devices based on Topological Quantum Matter using Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum Computers. The quantum computing devices will be protected from noise by topology. Three different systems will be investigated, qubits based on Majorana Fermions, Haldane quasiparticles and valley-spin qubits in 2D atomic thickness semiconductor devices. These qubits are built with Fermions, their fermionic description will be translated into spins, qubits in existing quantum computers. Quantum algorithms such as variational quantum eigenvalue solvers and Quantum Circuit Tensor Networks suitable for current noisy intermediate scale computers will be developed to identify topologically protected quasiparticles for next generation quantum computers.
