CIRQuIT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Quantum Information and Technology)

CIRQuIT (Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Quantum Information and Technology) This CoE at RVCE was started with the vision to inspire young minds to take up research in the Quantum Computing field and to develop viable solutions to real-world problems. Some of the activities of the CoE includes;

1. To increase awareness and spread knowledge about quantum computing and related concepts.

 2. To conduct research in areas specific to: a. Quantum Algorithms b. Quantum Machine Learning c. Quantum Annealing Optimization d. Quantum Cryptography e. Quantum Hardware

 3. Utilizing open-source quantum computing tools like IBM Qiskit, Cirq, Tensorflow Quantum, DWave Ocean SDK, Pennylane, and other related software.

The CIRQuIT has successfully conducted many internship programs, National-level workshops, and ATAL FDPs for faculty and students from various engineering disciplines. The group collaborates with IBM to train and utilize their open-source quantum computing toolkit QisKit . Information Science & Engg. The Department of ISE has faculty members working in the areas Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Cloud Computing. The Department also has a research centre recognized by VTU started in the year 2011. The Research Center provides a vibrant academic ambience hosting more than 39 research scholars both internal and external. The center is affiliated to VTU, Belagavi under the Department of ISE, RVCE. The center has eminent faculty members who are guiding Ph.D. scholars in advanced areas of Information Sciences like Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Cyber Security, Data Science, Image Processing, Internet of Things and Cloud computing. About the workshop Quantum computing is an application of superposition and entanglement quantum-mechanical phenomena to perform computation, as proposed by Richard Feynman in 1982. As said and done, quantum computing is a revolutionary technology that leverages the bizarre characteristics of quantum mechanics to solve specific problems significantly faster than classical computing technologies. The workshop covers essential basics of quantum photonics, computing, information theory aspects, hardware technologies, algorithms, and implementations, followed by demonstrations of the working over the some of the popular simulators on quantum computing IBM QisKit, QSim, and NetSquid Simulators.

Objectives of the workshop:

  • Give the required photonics basics fordeveloping quantum hardware and devices.
  • Provide the necessary Physics and Mathematical concepts of Quantum Computing, which helps the participants to understand the research literature.
  • Given the working of the design of selected quantum algorithms, including quantum crypto algorithms and search algorithms, participants may develop their applications using them.
  • Appraise the participants for working on the quantum communication Systems using quantum photonics.
  • To appraise the working of quantum mechanics and related concepts.
  • To build quantum circuits using quantum bits and execute over quantum computers/simulators.
