Functional Exploitation of Noise in Utility-Scale Quantum Optimization

An AFRL-funded project exploring how noise and nonideal dynamics can be characterized, modeled, and potentially exploited for utility-scale quantum optimization.

This project focuses on the functional role of noise in quantum optimization systems, performing theory research and hero-grade experimental campaigns on quantum devices to push the envelope of noise-directed techniques.
