Research

Sebastian Feld is an associate professor at Delft University of Technology and leads the Feld Group at QuTech. His research focuses on full-stack quantum computing: how quantum computers should be designed, programmed, and operated so that promising algorithms can become reliable computations on real hardware.

The Feld Group works across the quantum computing stack, connecting quantum computer architecture with compilation, system software, and applications. On the systems side, the group develops scalable and modular quantum architectures, hardware-aware compilation methods, and techniques for reliable quantum computation. On the application side, it develops quantum algorithms for realistic optimization, planning, and engineering problems.

A central theme of this work is hardware-software co-design: rather than considering quantum hardware and applications separately, the group studies how decisions across the stack influence each other and how they can be optimized together. The long-term goal is to help turn increasingly capable quantum processors into useful computing systems.
