Quantum Africa 6: CQTech researcher gives a talk on TQC

For the Quantum Africa 6 (QA6) Conference which took place from September 12th to September 16th, 2022, in Kigali, Rwanda, our PhD student Abdellah Tounsi represented CQTech by giving a remote contributed talk on the “Topological Quantum Compilation of Controlled Three-Qubit Gates”.

The talk provided an overview of two ongoing research projects at CQTech:

1. The compilation of quantum gates using braid operations within the framework of topological quantum computing.
2. The optimization of three-qubit gates using braid operations within the framework of the Fibonacci model of anyons.

The talk also showcased significant results in the optimization of brute-force gate compilation using both algebraic and numerical methods. Furthermore, it presented a novel design for three-qubit controlled gates.

QA6 is the sixth edition of quantum conferences that aims to strengthen the collaboration between African researchers and their counterparts in the rest of the world. Over 50 participants joined QA6 to attend great talks from actors in the industry and academia.
