Optimization of Quantum Circuits and Cryptanalysis of Post-Quantum Systems - 2026_IDR_DEIB_66

Research and development of techniques for the analysis, compilation, and optimization of quantum algorithms, with particular emphasis on the cryptanalysis of post-quantum cryptographic primitives, including, for example, code-based primitives. The activities will include the design of quantum circuits, the reduction of the required computational resources, the integration of the developed techniques into quantum compilation infrastructures, and their experimental evaluation using simulators and real quantum computing platforms.
