iQuantum: A Melbourne Initiative for Quantum Computing
Recent breakthroughs in Quantum hardware are creating opportunities for its use in many applications. However, Quantum software engineering is still in its infancy with many challenges, especially dealing with the diversity of Quantum programming languages and hardware platforms. To alleviate these challenges, our iQuantum Initiative at the University of Melbourne is investigating fundamental research challenges and developing software systems and tools for the advancement of Quantum Computing paradigm by supporting (1) rapid creation of applications and their deployments and (2) modelling and simulation of quantum computing environments.
