Associate Research Scientist Gregory Quiroz has started a partnership with Xanadu to identify cooperative research projects that advance quantum computing. Quiroz will integrate Pennylane, a software framework for quantum computing, into his curriculum at APL. In particular, he and Dr. Paraj Titum will supplement quantum theory coursework with numerical, Pennylane examples provided by Xanadu, to bridge the gap between theory and modern quantum computing applications. In the long term, the partnership will seek to enhance quantum computing awareness and research within the department.
