The »Self-Learning Systems« group at Fraunhofer IIS is part of the »Precise Positioning and Analytics« department and located at the institute’s Nuremberg site. Our team members have diverse academic backgrounds from computer science, engineering and physics. Since 2019 our group has delved into cutting-edge topics within the realm of quantum computing, including quantum machine learning, machine learning for quantum compilation, error correction, and quantum circuit cutting.
»Quantum Circuit Compilation« is a vital field of research that is crucial in optimizing the performance of quantum algorithms. It transforms high-level quantum instructions into efficient low-level operations, ultimately enhancing the feasibility of practical quantum computing applications. Within the »Self-Learning Systems« group, we want to explore automated approaches for circuit compilation using learning algorithms such as reinforcement learning.
