Project Member(s): Lee, T., Kieferova, M., Sanders, Y.

Funding or Partner Organisation: NSW Department of Industry (NSW Defence Innovation Network)
NSW Department of Industry (NSW Defence Innovation Network)

Start year: 2021

Summary: This project will determine the viability of quantum algorithms run on near term faulty and long term fault tolerant quantum computers to provide a speed up over classical algorithms for the quadratic knapsack problem with applications to defense acquisition.
