This grant addresses a critical bottleneck in quantum development: verifying performance without collapsing the fragile quantum states required for computation. By advancing fault-tolerant verification methods and creating digital twins, this research directly tackles the transition from theoretical error correction models to practical, reliable hardware. The work is essential for scaling quantum systems beyond current limitations where measurement-induced errors have historically hindered progress.
Researcher Wins €1.5M to Hunt Errors in Quantum Computers

CWI researcher Jonas Helsen secured a €1.5M grant to tackle errors in quantum computers, a key hurdle for reliable quantum computation.
Jonas Helsen has been awarded €1.5 million via a European Research Council Starting Grant to tackle a central challenge in quantum computing: reliably verifying performance. Unlike conventional bits, qubits use the quantum-mechanical principles of superposition and entanglement, allowing them to…
