Current stage of development of quantum computers is termed as Noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. Capabilities of such devices are quite limited with respect to quality and quantity of the qubits, performed gates or types of measurements. Thus, to fully unlock their potential implemented tasks should be carefully optimized with respect to usage of those resources. The goal of the student will be to learn and further develop methods for optimization of higher order maps with chosen resource and causal structure. The student should also work with and improve methods for finding quantum circuit implementations of such optimal maps and other known or newly developed quantum information processing tasks. The research goals are planned to be addressed mostly by analytical means, but also computer assisted approach can be envisioned and would be welcomed.
