As a professor Computer Engineering, Koen Bertels’ scientific research focused from day 1 on quantum computing and more specifically on the definition and implementation of a scalable quantum computer system for any scientific and operational field. He is currently building a new team to continue working on all layers of the full stack which has been his work from the first day working on quantum computing. After starting 11 years ago on quantum computing, he has moved almost exclusively to the use of perfect qubits, which has no decoherence and no errors in the quantum gates performed on the qubits. Perfect qubit is an older, theoretical concept, but it allows to think about the algorithmic solutions one wants to study in any field without having to worry about returning to the ground state and all kinds of errors in the quantum calculation. His current team calls this the PISQ-methodology, where PISQ stands for Perfect (qubits) Intermediate Scale Quantum computing. This is complementary to the NISQ-approach where the emphasis is on all the physics-based challenges and that is what the word Noisy represents. Being active in the Quantum Computing field for about 11+ years, the team initially defined and developed all the layers in a quantum computer. The PISQ-approach is relatively young, but the team is focusing now mostly on the application layers. Koen Bertels is appointed as part-time full professor at the university of Ghent, Belgium. His citation index is 40.
