IMSE Quantum Computing Lab

As part of the Industrial, Manufacturing and System Engineering department, the IMSE Quantum Computing Lab has it focused on research of theoretical and applied quantum computing. Research interests vary from quantum algorithms and quantum optimization to quantum chemistry and one dimensional quantum systems.

On this webpage, you will find useful information about our research collaborators as well as their interests, recent quantum computing news, and about our associated research groups. 

We are currently open to collaborations and in case of interest, contact info is available at the end of the page.
