Title: Quantum applications
Duration: 11/2005 - 10/2009
Coordinators: Prof. Martin Plenio (Imperial College, London) Prof. Ian Walmsley (Oxford University, Oxford)

Principal Investigator: Prof. RNDr. Vladimír Bužek, DrSc.

Project Goal: The overall goal of the project including partners from Europe, America and Australia is the development of few qubit applications. Our group is developing new algorithmic methods (mostly under the name quantum walks), new methods for quantum estimations and callibrations, and new communication and cryptographic protocols.
