研究概要 |
During this grant we successfully published several papers on resource estimation for topological quantum computation and classical verification packages for topological quantum circuits. This includes a paper in Nature (Commincations), several computer science papers (DATE'2014), (RC2014), (NanoArch'2012), (ATS'2012) and a paper in Scientific Reports. I helped co-organize a special session on quantum compilation at the Asian Test Symposium (ATS'2012) and have given numerous invited seminars on this work in Japan, Australia and Europe. Progress was made on a preview version of a video game designed to allow the public to optimise quantum circuits, this was released in May 2013 to positive reviews. This project has strengthened collaborations between NII and researchers in Germany, Kyoto, California and Australia. It has led to a preliminary project with Software Engineers at Google and this new field of research has received significant recognition from the broader quantum computing and computer science community. The research from this project is now a prime component for any other projects within the Quantum Cybernetics program, particularly experimental systems using superconducting and quantum dot qubits. The published work from this project now forms the first step towards an integrated compilation and optimisation program for topological quantum computation and will be utilised when experimental development reaches the level of large-scale. Similar research work in this area of practical quantum computing should be encouraged and continue
