While the majority of quantum algorithms to date have focused on binary qubits, many quantum hardware platforms inherently support more than two states. QuditML aims to systematically harness this untapped potential for machine learning applications.

At the same time, their use poses new challenges in terms of algorithm design, data coding and training. Especially in the field of quantum machine learning, practical applications and systematic investigations with real data are still lacking. RISC Software GmbH is addressing precisely this research gap with QuditML.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6aeb212797dcd&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6aeb212797dcd\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img data-dominant-color=\"878585\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #878585;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-1024x682.webp\" alt=\"Project members QuditML\" class=\"wp-image-35757 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-1024x682.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.risc-software.at\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-20260130-131439-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The QuditML project team, from left to right: Dr. Michael Giretzlehner (Head of the Medical Informatics Research Unit), Dominik Freinberger, MSc (Researcher &amp; Developer), DI Philipp Moser, PhD (Senior Researcher &amp; Group Lead, Quantum Computing)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Project goals: Development and analysis of novel Qudit-ML algorithms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the QuditML project, Qudit-based machine learning algorithms for classification and regression tasks are developed, implemented and systematically analyzed.
