UTS opens centre for quantum software development

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has launched its new Centre for Quantum Software and Information (CQSI). Speaking at the launch on Monday, UTS Deputy vice chancellor of Research Glenn Wightwick said the new centre will be solely dedicated to the development of the software and information processing infrastructure required to run applications at quantum scale. "It's clear that we're on the cusp of a new era of computing," Wightwick said. "We're incredibly excited about the potential of quantum computing to solve problems that the fastest classical computers will never be able to solve. "It's these forces that are driving this period of sustained innovation in the field of quantum computing.
