Résumé
The goal of the CRC in Quantum Computing program is to develop quantum algorithms for useful problems with demonstrably large quantum speedups. This research will investigate the structure of problems that admit large speedups, develop and improve frameworks for quantum algorithm design, and deep dive into the impact of quantum computing on three key application areas: cryptanalysis, reinforcement learning, and the natural sciences. By emphasizing on rigorous and impartial assessment, this research will help elucidate both the strength and weaknesses of quantum computing and untangle hype from reality.
