Hybrid Quantum-Classical Reinforcement Learning in Controlled Quantum Networks

Research Team Leadership

• George Siopsis, University of Tennessee

• Barry Sanders, University of Calgary

Project Overview

This project intends to apply quantum technologies to safeguard critical infrastructure. The team aims to find a quantum enhancement for machine learning - specifically the method of quantum annealing. Software will be developed to allow for quantum enhancement of tools utilized by DHS.

Siopsis and Sanders will also be working in partnership with Dr. Radhakrishnan Balu from the Army Research Laboratory and Dr. Marouane Salhi from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
