Host: University of Naples Federico II (UNINA), Italy PhD Topic Objectives – (a) Defining metrics to quantify quantum network parameters: Metrics will include entanglement rate, fidelity, latency, and coherence time, for software abstractions of network-aware distributed computation design (b) Designing a software-driven framework for dynamically adapting application requirements, entanglement usage and execution order based on network…
Host: University of Essex (UESSEX), United Kingdom 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…
Host: University of Cyprus (UCY), Cyprus PhD Topic The exploration of quantum-assisted ML algorithms will encompass various techniques such as gate models, annealing, and variational quantum circuits for the classification and regression tasks. It is planned to allocate resources in wireless networks based on their optimization through these algorithms. The project will include the steps of…
Host: University of Cyprus (UCY), Cyprus PhD Topic The project will work on an iterative framework that makes use of quantum annealing (e.g., D-Wave) and quantum-inspired solvers for constrained quadratic binary optimization. The problem of NP-hard wireless resource allocation will be the testing ground for these methods. A major component of the project is algorithm development…
