We are proud to see 1QBit's TopQAD software empowering a consortium of world-class supercomputer integrators, HPC platform developers, EDA tools creators, and semiconductor and superconducting fabrication experts in advancing their journey toward utility-scale quantum computing. TopQAD is designed for analyzing fault-tolerant quantum architectures and it played a key role in supporting the work behind the position paper posted on arXiv today (https://lnkd.in/enfuAXaj).
Given the recent advances in quantum and high-performance classical computing technologies, the quantum community faces a few important questions. For example: What are the fundamental or technical challenges to build a scalable quantum computer? And is it possible to engineer a quantum-centric supercomputer within the next decade that can solve an industrially useful problem in a cost-effective way? In a new arXiv paper called “How to Build a Quantum Supercomputer: Scaling Challenges and Opportunities,” a team at Hewlett Packard Labs addresses these questions. Read our blog to learn more about this important initiative. Masoud Mohseni K. Grace Johnson Ray Beausoleil
