NEASQC quantum-based, open-source application libraries: the initial release

One of the core objectives of the NEASQC project is to provide a selection of industry-grade open source NISQ programming libraries, with a view to facilitate code-reusability, and to provide newcomers to the quantum computing software community with well-documented and high-quality exemplary industrial cases.

As NEASQC just passed the halfway point, five open-source libraries have been released. More libraries will be released until the end of the project.

More information on published libraries

NEASQC addresses 9 uses cases in 3 domains:

Machine Learning & optimisation

This group of use cases addresses a wide variety of industries, such as energy, oil & gas and finance. They have one thing in common: some of their activities can benefit from Quantum-enhanced machine learning and optimization methods.

Chemistry

The goal of this work package is to bridge the gap between the recent proof-of-concept quantum chemical computations on NISQ processors and actual, industrial-scale quantum chemistry problems. To this aim, we will create software tools to integrate classical quantum chemical codes with quantum computing (QC) modules.

Symbolic AI and graph algorithmics

These use cases provided by a wide variety of sectors (linguistics, oncology, energy) all aim to develop methods and implementations in the areas of artificial intelligence and graph algorithmics

NEASQC webinar: Quantum probabilistic safety assessment (QPSA) – A perspective within the NISQC Era

In this presentation, we give an overview of the quantum algorithms identified or developed in the NEASQC project to deal with probabilistic safety assessment problems. Some of these algorithms require hardware capabilities that are not yet available in the quantum computing industry, hopefully some others based on hybrid quantum-classical approaches showed some advantages at least using simulators but need to be tested on quantum hardware to verify their scalability in such hardware.
