| Project Detail |
QUESTs primary goal is to amplify the scientific prowess and innovative capabilities of Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem (ELTE) alongside its esteemed Twinning partners: Linköpings universitet, Loughborough University, Aalto University, JustInMind SL, and Intelligentsia Consultants Sarl. They collectively aim to create a quantum reservoir computing (QRC) system leveraging silicon carbide (SiC) defect qubits. Over three years, QUEST plans to roll out a research and innovation strategy centered on five core objectives, each associated with eight interrelated work packages.
Objective 1 is geared towards pioneering research to construct a QRC system based on SiC defect qubits. This avant-garde technology could potentially enhance computational speed and diminish power usage by over 100 times compared to traditional machine learning models.
Objective 2 emphasizes knowledge-sharing between ELTEs seasoned researchers and the Twinning partners, facilitated via short-term staff exchanges, seminars, and training sessions, all complementing the research from Objective 1.
Objective 3 focuses on nurturing the career aspirations of early-stage researchers associated with both ELTE and the Twinning entities. They propose strategies like brief and intermediate exchanges, workshops, summer training sessions, and a collaborative PhD scheme.
Objective 4 aims to refine ELTEs administrative and managerial proficiency for European R&D initiatives. Specifically, this entails enhancing the expertise of ELTE’s Education Support Office and Research Support Office in aspects like project management, proposal drafting, intellectual property management, and scientific communication concerning European R&D funding programmes.
Objective 5 is dedicated to bolstering the research stature and academic credibility of ELTE and its Twinning counterparts. This will be achieved through extensive communication, outreach, and dissemination efforts. |
