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.

Jop Briët awarded Andreas Bonn medal
Jop Briët, former researcher at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam, was awarded the Andreas Bonn medal for his thesis `Grothendieck Inequalities, nonlocal games and optimization’.
Giannicola Scarpa defends thesis on quantum entanglement
Quantum entanglement, a strong correlation between particles that can exist even over long distances, has far-reaching consequences. Researcher Giannicola Scarpa of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has studied several of these consequences for information processing and communication.
Ronald de Wolf receives ERC Consolidator Grant for quantum research
Ronald de Wolf of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) has received a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant for quantum computing research. De Wolf was awarded the individual grant of approximately €1.5 million for his research project 'Progress in quantum computing: Algorithms, communication and applications'.
