Quantum Information Science
 |
Research in the Quantum Information Science Initiative is aimed at developing broad theoretical principles governing the behaviour of quantum information. This includes work on the development of novel quantum algorithms, of novel protocols for quantum communication, of methods for controlling quantum systems, and new principles governing the structure and behaviour of entanglement. Our work complements the more applied work of the Center of Excellence for Quantum Computer Technology, aimed at building a quantum computer.
