WELCOME!
Welcome to the Positive Technology Lab (PTL) – where innovation meets positive change! At PTL, our group researches high-performance computing with a particular focus on systems-level research. Quantum computing holds a central position in our research due to its promise to solve complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical computers. By harnessing the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computing offers the potential to accelerate various fields, such as machine learning, scientific computation, cryptography, and optimization. At PTL, we recognize the need to proactively work on this transformative technology, understanding that its advancements will play a crucial role in shaping a brighter future. We aim to make quantum computing accessible to a wider audience, foster collaborations, and share knowledge with the scientific community to unlock the full potential of this transformative field.
