A scientific and educational laboratory for quantum computing has been created at the Faculty of Information Systems and Technologies of Ulyanovsk State Technical University. The quantum computers installed here will speed up the processes of complex calculations and the processing of large data arrays.

A new laboratory of the University was opened on the basis of the Department of Information Systems, specializing in mathematical, computer, cognitive modeling, system analysis, management and information processing. The laboratory is interdepartmental and interfaculty. Representatives of the Faculty of Information Systems and Technologies and the Faculty of Radio Engineering are planning to work together on the tasks of quantum machine learning and quantum communications

"Quantum technologies are able to provide leadership, technological independence and national security of our country. Now they are the promising areas of development, so the growth of competencies of specialists in the field of information technology, communication systems, engineers is simply necessary. UlSTU students have already got the opportunity to engage in various quantum computing and modeling of quantum processes. For teachers and scientists of the university, with the opening of the laboratory, a qualitatively new stage of research activities in this area begins" - noted Rector of UlSTU Nadezhda Yarushkina.

The unique specialized equipment includes courses that allow students to study or repeat a course of discrete mathematics before working with quantum computing.

"The quantum computer environment itself has a minimalistic interface, in which there are theoretical calculations of the quantum course. Its advantage lies in the fact that it is well integrated into the quantum computing environment itself. From the point of view of the transition to real quantum computing, the computer has an environment that allows you to form quantum circuits based on the operators presented on the toolbar, and there are pre-prepared algorithms for two-qubit and one-qubit circuits" - told the head of the department "Information Systems" Anton Romanov.
