-LEAP

for Quantum Information Processing

Story Behind Q-LEAP

Q-LEAP is a umbrella project which hosts three research schemes, quantum information processing, quantum sensing, and next generation laser.

Each Q-LEAP consists of a Flagship project and several basic foundation research projects.

Website

This website is for the Basic Foundation Research Project: Architecture and applications for small to large scale quantum computation.

Project

The project forces on two directions: small-scale applications and architectures, and scalable software technology for quantum computation.

We investigate novel applications for quantum information processing and develop architectures to maximize the potential of such quantum information processing. The scalable software technology includes from error correction and its applications to modeling and analysis of scalable quantum information processing.
