We are pleased to announce that Adam Glos, member of the the Quantum Systems of Informatics Group, was awarded with PRELUDIUM grant for his proposal Space-efficient encodings of combinatorial problems for variational quantum computing. The PRELUDIUM call, organized by the National Science Center, is addressed to people starting their research careers and its goal is to support completion of the doctoral thesis. The project will be implemented in cooperation with Center for Quantum Computer Science, Faculty of Computing, University of Latvia in Riga, and Wigner Research Center for Physics in Budapest.
