The best applications to run on a 1,000-qubit device is a topic of intense research. In WP7 of OpenSuperQPlus, we focus on developing and refining algorithms towards practical use cases in the areas of quantum simulation and chemistry, combinatorial optimisation, and quantum machine learning. We are also putting together a test suite to benchmark quantum computers, both against each other and against classical computers, which helps clarify which practical use cases can benefit from being tackled with OpenSuperQPlus hardware.
Extracting maximum application performance from a 1,000-qubit device requires optimal implementation of algorithmic solutions when run on the quantum hardware – enabled through an optimising compiler that accounts for circuit complexity, available gates, topology & relevant noise and error models. Similarly, ensuring maximum utilisation of the scarce 1,000-qubit device will require efficient job scheduling while ensuring maximum uptime through predictive maintenance & calibration routines.
We develop classical simulators to test quantum algorithms for the best applications before they are deployed on quantum hardware. We also work on integration with HPC, on mitigating errors in the quantum algorithms due to noisy hardware, and on verifying and the interfaces for the top levels of the software stack.
The development of a 1,000-qbuit system will be facilitated by understanding key performance bottlenecks, also known as error-budgeting. And once built, this device will require quick and seamless calibration and high-fidelity control & readout operations of qubit states, enabled by optimised control software & hardware. The room-temperature electronics (RTE) control system serves as the interface between the digital worlds and the analogue, quantum worlds.
WP4 is dedicated to developing an advanced room-temperature (RT) electronics system capable of efficiently managing and reading a 100-qubit QPU and being ready for a 1,000-qubit machine. This includes developing rigorous testing protocols and crafting essential low-level software. To achieve seamless integration, we collaborate closely with WP5 to define software interfaces to the high level-software, and with WP3 to establish hardware interfaces with the cryogenic stage.
