About
The Quantum Algorithms and Applications Collaboratory (QuAAC) is a group of scientists at Sandia National Laboratories working to answer the questions, “what might quantum computers be used for?” and “what kinds of advantages might they offer over conventional classical computers?”
Quantum algorithms are a natural focal point for such questions, and designing, theoretically analyzing, and empirically assessing them is the foundation of our research. But our scope is broader than just quantum algorithms research and includes topics like computing on quantum sensed data, control and modeling of qubit technologies, and quantum-inspired algorithms. QuAAC is comprised of researchers in physics, computer science, and mathematics at both of Sandia’s main locations (New Mexico and California sites), as well as remote workers and student interns.
QuAAC scientists have advanced all layers of the quantum information science (QIS) theory “stack” shown in the banner above, from modeling hardware and control to establishing rigorous quantum advantages.
