| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During the course of this program we successfully wrote and published five software packages on the compilation and optimisation of topological quantum computing algorithms. We published over 30 publications in international journals and conference proceedings including papers in the prestigious journals, IEEE Computer, Science Advances and ACM-XRDS. During the period of this research we launched a prototype design of the meQuanics citizen science project that uses the general public to help compile quantum circuits to significant media attention. Over 100 popular media articles in forums such as New Scientist, the Financial Times the BBC and others have appeared based on work conducted as part of this project and we are now actively collaborating with multinationals such as Microsoft and Google and with multiple quantum computing start-up companies as a result of this project. We are now ready to push forward even more rigorously in developing the field of quantum software
