NEASQC Benchmark Suite available!

CESGA published deliverable D3.5 The NEASQC benchmark suite (TNBS).

TNBS is an application-centric benchmark suite that provides scalable and hardware-independent mechanisms to assess and compare quantum end-user application behaviour in different hardware platforms.

If you’re interested in our benchmark suite, don’t miss the webinar on 23 January!

Quantum Natural Language Processing: new report

A new report from our WP6: D6.10: WP6 QNLP Report

Their objective is to investigate and develop hybrid classical-quantum approaches to natural language processing (NLP) and compare their performance with classical counterparts.

In this deliverable D6.10 they present a series of variations of former algorithms and their application to the task of binary sentiment analysis. A large part of D6.10 is centered around the task of sentence classification which, together with clustering, is pivotal to a wide range of applications.

D5.8: Specification and implementation of coloring-based QAOA algorithm for minimizing charging station numbers

This deliverable describes the specification of an algorithm to find the minimum number of colors required to color the vertices of a graph such that two connected vertices do not have the same color. This quantity is known as the chromatic number. This problem arises naturally when considering scheduling problems for charging stations, that can easily be encoded into a graph coloring problem.

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

EVENTS

06/02/2024

NEASQC webinar: Financial Application software repository and Quantum Quantitative Finance Library

One of the objectives of the NEASQC project was to put together an application-centric benchmark suite that would guide hardware development efforts, in particular those of the Quantum Technology Flagship, by providing scalable and hardware-independent mechanisms to assess and compare quantum end-user applications behaviour in different hardware platforms. At this point, four benchmarks were selected from the large and representative array of NEASQC use cases

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.
