Prof. Michael Bremner

Prof Michael Bremner leads the ARC CQC2T Quantum Algorithms and Complexity Program. This team identifies applications for quantum computers that demonstrate power beyond classical computing. They examine the advantage offered by quantum processors in the near and long term, identifying the key characteristics of quantum applications that can outperform classical computers. A central aspect of this work is the development of benchmark algorithms that demonstrate the capabilities of quantum computers in the near-to-medium term and that are clearly on the pathway to scaling-up for implementation on more ambitious long-term quantum computing architectures. This team works closely with the CQC2T’s and QSI’s other programs to optimise quantum computing processor architectures, informed by the latest developments in the theory of quantum algorithms, complexity, and error correction.
