Some years ago, our group started spearheading the industrial use of quantum computing. Through the radical innovation project NeQst, we seek to develop quantum optimization methods for industry, and in the spin-off QC4DS project, we look at problems for the defence sector. We also participate in the NordIQuEst project, aiming to provide a quantum computing platform customised to the needs of the Nordic region. Last, but not least, we lead the Gemini Center on Quantum Computing, a national initiative to mobilize awareness and interest in Norway and start building the necessary expertise for the nation to be “quantum ready” when the technology becomes a commerical reality for widespread adoption.

Quantum computing is an emerging technology that has a very disruptive power. The first generation of quantum computers that is expected within the next five years, will be so-called noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers. Open Quantum...
NeQst aims to research how near-term quantum computers can solve challenging optimization problems in business, such as hydropower scheduling and financial fraud detection.
NordIQuEst aims to provide a quantum computing platform customised to the needs of the Nordic region.
We explore the potential of quantum computing in solving optimization challenges in the defense sector, collaborating with NeQst to exchange methods.
At SINTEF we have a strategic project to investigate the possibilities and application areas of quantum computers to solve practically relevant problems.
