Integrated quantum photonics
As the field has progressed new quantum algorithms have been developed which provide short and long term routes towards the demonstration of the superiority of quantum computers over their classical counterparts. Cluster state computation is now generally accepted as the approach that will be used to develop a fully fledged quantum computer. Whilst development of quantum computer will require the synthesis of many different aspects of integrated optics, boson sampling seeks to demonstrate the power of quantum computation via technologies readily available and is therefore a very promising near term algorithm to doing so. In fact shortly after its proposal there were several small scale experimental demonstrations of the boson sampling algorithm
Florian Neukart
His research continues to attract considerable public international attention and earned him numerous speaking invitations on both conferences and more private venues. He was one of the first researchers to propose and implement quantum neural networks. He is a pioneer in applied quantum computing and among the first ones to solve real-world problems of society and environment by means of quantum computing. He was the first one to have introduced practical quantum computing in academic education worldwide. He currently works as Principal Scientist at Volkswagen Group of America and visiting scientist and lecturer in the field of quantum computing at the University of Leiden. He was named by the IEEE Computer Society as one of the leading experts in predictive analytics. Neukart was awarded by the Science Park Austria for his work in biologically-inspired artificial intelligence software.
