Marco Venere, a Ph.D. student in Information Technology at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering – Politecnico di Milano, received the Best Poster Award at the Reconfigurable Architectures Workshop, held in Milan from June 3 to 4, 2025.
The work, titled “Enhancing Quantum Computing through EDA: A Full-Stack Perspective,” explores how Electronic Design Automation (EDA) methodologies can significantly improve the current state of Quantum Computing (QC).
While QC promises exponential acceleration over classical computing, today’s quantum architectures suffer from severe limitations in hardware reliability and resource availability, resulting in high levels of noise during computation and making it difficult to tackle real-world tasks. This research leverages decades of advancements in EDA to address these challenges, enhancing both the efficiency and robustness of quantum systems.
The contribution spans the full computational stack—from low-level execution environments to the compilation toolchain and logical-level quantum algorithms—thus offering a comprehensive approach to integrating EDA techniques into the evolution of quantum computing.
The research was carried out in collaboration with Ph.D. student Beatrice Branchini, researcher Davide Conficconi, Prof. Donatella Sciuto, and Prof. Marco Santambrogio on the hardware side. For algorithm design, the contributions of Prof. Alessandro Barenghi and Prof. Gerardo Pelosi were fundamental.
