Quantum Key to Future

IBM Singapore and the National University of Singapore (NUS) recently invited researchers to submit proposals for projects that may require the power of quantum computing. Contestants were given access to IBM’s quantum computing platform hosted on the cloud. The contest was held in collaboration with the QEP (Quantum Engineering Programme), which is managed by the NUS and the National Research Foundation (NRF).

IHPC was awarded as one of the three winning projects.

Dr. Wu Lin from IHPC and her team developed hybrid software to optimise the design and solve many-body problems in quantum optics. For example, it can be used to develop ultra-sensitive quantum plasmonic biosensors for clinical tests to detect antigen for viruses.
