PhD Topic
The project will take genetic algorithms, ant colony optimization, and particle swarm optimization as inspiration and create quantum routing algorithms based on them. Specifically, routing protocols for multipartite states that are able to change dynamically in response to decoherence and noise will be developed. In short, nature-inspired optimization techniques will be applied to the quantum domain and the resulting frameworks will be evaluated for scalability and robustness.
Secondments: University of Cyprus (UCY), Cyprus (nature-inspired routing); IMDEA Networks, Spain (improving stability and fidelity).
