The Otten Lab’s goal is to accelerate the realization of useful, utility-scale quantum computers, networks, and sensors. We develop, analyze, and test quantum algorithms for applications in quantum chemistry, quantum dynamics, and quantum machine learning. Our team also focuses on creating and implementing quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) methods to understand and mitigate inevitable errors. Utilizing high-performance computing and the principles of open quantum systems, we simulate large quantum devices to enhance their performance. To anticipate the future impact of quantum computing, we estimate the full-stack quantum resources required to solve high-value problems, from the application level to the algorithms, quantum error correction protocols, and physical implementations.
