Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Competitiveness and sustainable development - CY - ERDF/CF (2014CY16M1OP001), managing authority: Γενική Διεύθυνση Ευρωπαϊκών Προγραμμάτων, Συντονισμού και Ανάπτυξης. Beneficiary: Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου. Location: Cyprus. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 159,980; EU co-financing EUR 135,983 (co-financing rate 85%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-11-09 to 2021-11-30. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): This project proposes pioneering research in the field of Quantum chromodynamics in the lattice (LQCD) that will lead i) to clarify the puzzle of the electrical radius of the proton that emerged recently after the experiment with muon hydrogen found a smaller radius than conventional electron-proton scatter experiments ii) measurement of non-zero electric bipolar moment in the neutron (nEDM) emanating from a condition that violates the symmetry theme. In addition, he proposes to study algorithms for the first quantum machines to simulate simple models, thus opening the way for gradient theories in the lattice in the future. Our scientific project is in line with the rich experimental activity in major centres such as JLab in the USA, PSI in Switzerland, mami in Germany and TRIUMF in Canada. For the execution of our program we will use the most advanced computing machines in Europe and the US, as well as innovative architectures such as Graphic Cards (GPUs) as well as advanced algorithms for analysing data from the simulation of the theory with the physical values of the parameters to which we can access through our participation in the European Twisted Mass (ETM) collaboration team. The project will finance a new talented scientist as well as a PhD student allowing them to perform competitive research in Cyprus in a field of fundamental science technology (LQCD) and an emerging highly promising technology called quantum computers supplying them with the skills that will help them evolve as independent scientists and prepare them for employment opportunities both in the academic and industrial sectors. This project includes 4 academic institutes, two in Cyprus, one in Germany and one in the US, creating a
