Master Thesis: Integrating Quantum-Computing with Classical Compute for Telecom

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Review quantum algorithms for RAN workloads, with emphasis on the capabilities of integrated quantum-classical systems
• ▹Select a representative RAN use case and define the research question, target capabilities and evaluation metrics
• ▹Prepare data and experimental scenarios that reflect RAN workloads and suit state-of-the-art quantum computers
• ▹Implement conventional baselines and define the corresponding key performance indicators
• ▹Develop and validate a quantum computing architecture focused on a selected capability such as latency, portability or robust processing
• ▹Evaluate the proposed architecture against the baselines using the defined metrics
• ▹Assess hardware suitability by analyzing qubit requirements, circuit depth, compilation overhead and quantum-classical interconnect latency
• ▹Document the proposed solution, methodology and evaluation results

Requirements

• ▹MSc student in Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Machine Learning or Mathematics
• ▹Proficient in probability theory, neural networks, system modeling and quantum computing
• ▹Understanding of quantum computers (superconducting, neutral atoms, trapped ion) and software stacks (Qiskit, CUDA-Q, PennyLane, etc.)
• ▹Good programming skills, knowledge of C++ and Python
