This project is a collaboration with EXXA and QMLHEP.
This project aims to bridge the gap between abstract quantum resource theories and practical circuit design by developing a unified computational library for quantifying “quantumness.” It will systematically compile and implement diverse measures of quantum resources (including Entanglement Entropy, Magic (via Stabilizer Rényi Entropy), Mana (for qudit systems), and Bell-type Nonlocality) into a single, high-performance software framework. By providing a standardized toolset, the project will enable researchers to precisely profile the “resource cost” of a quantum state or circuit, moving beyond simple gate counts to a more nuanced understanding of the fundamental properties that drive quantum advantage and classical non-simulability. Building upon this computational foundation, the project will conduct an extensive exploration into how these resources interact and evolve within various quantum circuit architectures. We will analyze the trade-offs between different resources and utilize our code to identify the specific thresholds where a circuit’s resource profile makes it advantageous. The final stage of the project will involve a large-scale benchmarking study, using our software to correlate resource levels with the performance and success rates of standard algorithms (like QAOA or QPE), ultimately establishing a “resource-driven” methodology for optimizing the next generation of quantum hardware.
Total project length: 175/350 hours.
