Project overview: Quantum machine learning beyond qubits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
\n
\n

The QuditML research project is dedicated to the study of so-called qubits, i.e. multi-level quantum systems. While the majority of quantum algorithms to date have focused on binary qubits, many quantum hardware platforms inherently support more than two states. QuditML aims to systematically harness this untapped potential for machine learning applications. The project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Challenges and opportunities of Qudit-based quantum machine learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Compared to traditional qubit approaches, qubits promise a higher information density, a greater variety of possible computing operations and potentially more efficient and robust algorithms. At the same time, their use poses new challenges in terms of algorithm design, data coding and training. Especially in the field of quantum machine learning, practical applications and systematic investigations with real data are still lacking. RISC Software GmbH is addressing precisely this research gap with QuditML. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
