Results in brief
Resource Sensitive Quantum Computing
The ResQu project has aimed to develop a resource-theoretic perspective on quantum information and computing. We are still far from being able to construct universal quantum machines that are large-scale enough to implement the most impressive applications that we know from theory they should eventually be capable of performing. A typical perspective is that we are unable to produce the basic quantum systems (qubits) in sufficient quantities, upon which a universal set of operations (quantum gates) can be performed with high-fidelity. This project has developed an alternative perspective, whereby fidelities and numbers of qubits are less relevant resources than the extent to which a variety of non-classical behaviours can be achieved, such as non-locality and contextuality, among others. The objectives of this project have been: (1) to develop the tools and formalisms that with which non-classical behaviours can be identified; (2) to understand how these behaviours can give rise to computational advantages over classical systems in a quantifiable way; (3) to propose new examples of quantum-over-classical computational advantage that is realisable within the scope of existing technologies.

Project objective
Quantum Computing has been a subject of huge interest in recent years, from researchers and the general public alike, due to its intriguing potential for applications which will forever be beyond the reach of classical computing. Despite recent progress in both experimental and theoretical techniques, difficulties in communicating the needs and results of these respective camps has resulted in a lack of major implementable applications for near-term technologies. This action aims to change the field multilaterally, from developing novel tools to deal with critical practical issues hindering implementation through to a first resource sensitive theoretical approach to finding applications with technological practicalities at its core.
