The prize, which is awarded to ambitious researchers that have gained their PhD within the last six years and consist of 50.000 Euros worth of expertise provided by the Netherlands eScience Center, will be used to investigate whether revolutionary developments in quantum computing can be used in radio astronomy.
Current radio telescopes are often limited by the availability of abundant and affordable compute capacity. If we can show that the extraordinary capabilities of quantum computers can be effectively used in a radio telescope, this could significantly improve the way in which we process the large volumes of data produced by such instruments.
