About us

The aim of the project is to develop the foundations of quantum computational advantage. In particular, the aim is to gain a systematic understanding of the use of non-classical features of quantum mechanics, such as contextuality, to obtain quantum advantage in a range of computational tasks. An important theme within this is to develop the understanding of contextuality in combination with causality.

  • Conducting research within the project, in particular on the relation of non-classical features of quantum mechanics to quantum computational advantage
  • Producing quality publications in leading venues
