Quantum Software Consortium
QSC logo

The Quantum Software Consortium, bundle interdisciplinary research on quantum computing spanning chemistry, computer engineering, and physics.

The team will pioneer distributed quantum computing software methodologies by adapting known quantum algorithms, developing new distributed quantum algorithms, and establishing communication primitives programming abstractions to connect disparate quantum processors. The team will also develop software for several socially and economically relevant distributed applications, including practical chemistry, quantum materials, and quantum machine learning.

QSC is financed under the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Alliance Consortia Quantum Grants #ALLRP587590-23.
