Towards Zero-Defect Quantum Programs

The project will develop methods for statically analysing programs intended for near-term quantum computers by combining techniques from the verification of probabilistic programs and the verification of quantum programs. This shall enable developers on quantum hardware to drastically reduce the amount of testing and simulation required, and to detect errors early in the program design and to understand them more easily, thus streamlining the software development process and significantly reducing testing and simulation costs. A particular focus will be on near-term systems with realistic error models (NISQ), and on use-cases from practice.
