HRL Laboratories is currently the leading research organization specializing in exchange-only quantum computing (EOQC). However, it is facing the problem of efficiently educating new hires on the principles of EOQC. Despite the publicly available information on quantum computing, there is very little documentation and training for HRL’s unique research. As a result, our team has developed a browser-based tool that synthesizes HRL’s research on EOQC and presents it in an interactive and digestible way for newly hired scientists and engineers.
