Description
LEADER OF THE GROUP ALGORITHMS AND COMPLEXITY: HARRY BUHRMAN
Our research group designs software for the computing technology of the future, especially quantum computing. Based on the laws of quantum mechanics, which tell us that systems and particles can be in multiple states at once, quantum computing is radically different from computing as we know it. Our quantum software requires fundamentally different techniques and approaches based on superposition, interference and entanglement. Ultimately, our research will result in better, faster and more reliable computer systems for society. Our research group is involved in QuSoft, the new Dutch research centre for quantum software.

Quantum.Amsterdam and Quantum Delta NL celebrate close collaboration together
On 14 July the new quantum innovation hub Quantum.Amsterdam, established by CWI, Uva and QuSoft, and Quantum Delta NL raised the flag together to celebrate their close collaboration for the coming seven years. Their aim is to boost quantum research and development in the Amsterdam ecosystem.
Is this the first physics problem that the quantum computer will solve?
Joris Kattemölle (UvA/QuSoft/CWI) proposes a physical problem that could be the first one for a quantum computer with 100 qubits to solve. On Wednesday 30 June Kattemölle defended his PhD thesis.
Tremendous Boost for Quantum Research in the Amsterdam Ecosystem
The financial injection of 615 million euros from the National Growth Fund of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy gives a tremendous boost to quantum research and development in the Amsterdam ecosystem.
Quantum Delta NL Awarded 615 Million Euro from Netherlands’ National Growth Fund to Accelerate Quantum Technology
Funds will be used to train 2,000 researchers and engineers to scale 100 start-ups and to host three corporate R&D labs in the Netherlands by 2027
