INESC TEC researchers have developed a new hybrid quantum–classical algorithm that promises to make quantum computing more practical and resilient to the challenges posed by current quantum devices. The research work “Bayesian Quantum Amplitude Estimation” proposes an innovative approach to one of the fundamental tasks in quantum computing – amplitude estimation – with applications in fields like engineering, finance, and Artificial Intelligence.

Nearly 30 world-renowned experts from around the world travelled to Portugal to discuss advances in the fields of computer science theory and programming languages. Members of the IFIP Working Group 2.1 on Algorithmic Languages and Calculi gathered in Viana do Castelo for an initiative organised by INESC TEC.

Underused resources, wasted energy, and high operational costs. INESC TEC is leading a project that aims to propose alternatives to how computing resources are organised and managed.
05th May 2025
INESC TEC reaffirmed the institution’s commitment to international research collaboration by participating in the CENTRA 2025 event, a global initiative that brings together research centres, institutes, and laboratories from across the world to drive the development of transnational cyberinfrastructures. This year’s edition focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), exploring application in linguistics, cognitive psychology and advanced management of cyberinfrastructures.

Five years have passed since INESC TEC and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in Japan, signed the first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This scientific cooperation agreement, focused on advanced computing, led to major opportunities for mobility, joint publications and the exchange of knowledge and experiences, thus bringing the Portuguese and Japanese R&D ecosystems closer together – particularly in High-Performance Computing (HPC). Recently, the two institutes renewed the MoU and will continue to work together to boost research in advanced computing.

For a week, Alicia Oliveira and Beatriz Cepa left INESC TEC's laboratories in Braga and went to Barcelona - the city that welcomed the ACM Summer School. The researchers explored some of the elemental HPC concepts and realised that - in a context dominated by computer science - their training in biomedical engineering was an asset.
31st October 2024
INESC TEC researchers developed the LazyFS tool, capable of injecting faults and reproducing data loss bugs. The solution helps to understand the origin and cause of said bugs, but also to validate protection mechanisms against failures.
07th October 2024
In a study published in ACM Computing Surveys, Paulo Sérgio Almeida, INESC TEC researcher, synthesises the existing knowledge on approaches to Conflict-free Replicated Data Types, a topic he has been exploring over the past decade. These enable replication in distributed systems with automatic conflict resolution, ensuring high availability – even in the face of communication failures.
04th October 2024
Telecommunications and Multimedia, Applied Photonics, High-assurance Software and Advanced Computing Systems – these are the four domains that INESC TEC researchers will explore within the scope of the five projects that were approved through the Call for Exploratory Projects promoted by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT).
