Publications

The findings and research results obtained as part of the SEQUOIA End-to-End joint research project are presented to the scientific community in a series of publications. A particular focus here is on the application and implementation of hybrid quantum algorithms, the components of which are executed partly on conventional hardware and partly on quantum computers.
