The Nanyang Quantum Solutions (NQS) group serves as the team translating between the generative guidance of mathematical physics and the engendering actionability of experimental engineering.

NQS is meant to serve as a quick transdisciplinary Swiss-knife helpful in developing quantum technologies. We want humans to have what is possible and we set out to get things done to make it happen.

Managed by Marek Gluza, the group invites diverse talents to come together and learn how to operate like a Swiss-knife in the nascent realm of quantum tech. What is in it for you?

• If you aleady work on quantum technologies, let us know what you need. We choose problems not based on their current prestige but whether they must happen for us, humanity, to advance our quantum technological reach.
• If you want to work on the subject, we work on the real deal. Feel free to reach out and see what we can do together.
• If you are a member of the general public, we offer by appointment office hours to consult on your curiosity. Whether you want to understand the field or learn how to make scientists see the impact of your “Quantum Theory of Everything” (and not reject your paper), we are here to talk.

Defining the “Nanyang” in NQS:

In NQS, Nanyang stands for the following stack of commitments to places and peoples.

• The Immediate: NQS is anchored at Nanyang Technological University, where we do our work.
• The Regional: Situated in Singapore and Southeast Asia, it is a port of entry for people to come in and out, for exchanging and developing ideas that expand our explanatory reach.
• The Global: The shorelines of our seas connect us all across all continents, like the web of internet or the publications we post to Arxiv.

Defining the “Quantum” in NQS:

Marek’s Nanyang Assistant Professorship grant promises to program Singapore’s quantum computers and that’s what we will do.

This will entail work on double-bracket quantum algorithms and benchmarks of existing solutions. At the time of writing NQS is being formed but it comes with a seed of several other directions and projects in the desk drawer.

Defining the “Solutions” in NQS:

We find solutions amongst hard problems.

Solution might mean

• finding a formulation that a quantum computer rather than a human would evaluate
• proposing a more streamlined workflow in an experiment
• identifying how to apply a quantum algorithm to a physical system which is not a quantum computer etc.
