• Scalable benchmarking for digital quantum computers based on blind testing

About the RoleThe project addresses the need for reliable, scalable verification and benchmarking schemes in quantum computing. It will address the verification of quantum computers in the regime that goes beyond what can be simulated with classical computers. Current challenges in quantum technology adoption stem from the lack of benchmarking methods at that scale and the inherent difficulty in validating quantum devices beyond classical simulation capabilities.The student will develop verification-based benchmarking approaches for digital quantum computers with realistic noise models, leading to metrics devoid of assumptions about noise impacts. This work will tailor the developed benchmarking approaches to error-corrected as well as networked quantum computers, addressing the need for scalable benchmarks for these architectures.About YouKnowledge of quantum computing and an understanding of challenges of building large-scale systems.Programming skills in Python.A good Bachelor’s Hons degree (2.1 or above or international equivalent) and/or Master’s degree in a relevant subject (physics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or related subject)Proficiency in English (both oral and written).Knowledge in cryptography is desirable.Link to apply:About UsThe National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is a world-leading centre of excellence that provides cutting-edge measurement science, engineering and technology to underpin prosperity and quality of life in the UK.
