Welcome to the QUASAR Lab homepage!

We are the Quantum Architecture, Systems, and Applications Research (QUASAR) Lab in the Department of Computer Science at CU Boulder, led by Dr. Ramin Ayanzadeh. We study quantum computation from a systems and architecture perspective. Our research sits at the intersection of quantum computation and computer architecture, bridging the gap between quantum hardware and software to build and optimize the next generation of quantum platforms.

Take a look at our publications or get to know the people in our lab.
