They then will apply a quantum-inspired algorithm to generate an optimized pulse sequence, which CWRU researchers will use to design a solution for enhancing MR diagnostic capabilities. Following the completion of scans, 3D holographic models will be constructed using Microsoft’s not-yet-released HoloLens solution, providing a better way for understanding how diseases function, and how they can be cured.
“We are thrilled to partner with Microsoft again on another project that expands our understanding of what technology can make possible,” Mark Griswold, a radiology professor and leader of the initiative, said in a statement. “Quantum computing provides an opportunity to find the truly best way to scan patients. We are so excited to explore how far we can push these new quantum and quantum-inspired methods beyond traditional computer algorithms.”

As part of the partnership, Microsoft quantum computing experts will work with CWRU researchers to improve the ways in which MR systems acquire data during scans, asking questions that would require too much time for today’s computers to solve.
Microsoft expects to establish working versions of its approach for optimizing pulse sequences before the end of 2018.
Case Western Reserve University did not respond for comment.
