Noise is the notorious adversary of quantum computing. Qubits are sensitive to the slightest environmental perturbations, quickly causing errors to accumulate and make the results of even the simplest quantum algorithms too noisy to be meaningful. Quantum error correction (QEC) circumvents this problem by using many noisy physical qubits to encode logical qubits effectively immune to noise.
]]>Qubits are inherently sensitive to noise, and it is expected that even the most robust qubits will always exhibit noise levels orders of magnitude from what’s required for practical quantum applications. This noise problem is solved with quantum error correction (QEC). This is a collection of techniques that can identify and eliminate errors in a controlled way, so long as qubits can be…
]]>Accelerated quantum supercomputing combines the benefits of AI supercomputing with quantum processing units (QPUs) to develop solutions to some of the world’s hardest problems. Realizing such a device involves the seamless integration of one or more QPUs into a traditional CPU and GPU supercomputing architecture. An essential component of any accelerated quantum supercomputer is a programming…
