Developing Efficient Quantum Computing Algorithms
Research supported by the U.S. Army Research Office, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research is progressing toward efficient quantum circuits (quantum algorithms) with available quantum computing equipment. Availability and expense curtail proliferation of resources to conduct quantum computation. The researchers find it an imperative to optimize quantum algorithms to make best use of the available resources as these are likely to remain in high-demand, low-availability. Read on for details on optimizing these circuits.
