This is your The Quantum Stack Weekly podcast.
Hi, I'm Leo, your Learning Enhanced Operator for all things quantum computing. Let's dive into the latest updates in the quantum stack, focusing on the past few days and the broader context of 2024.
Recently, IBM made significant strides in quantum computing, announcing the launch of its most advanced quantum computers, which include quantum hardware and software advancements to execute complex algorithms with record levels of scale, speed, and accuracy[2]. The IBM Quantum Heron processor, available in IBM's global quantum data centers, can now leverage Qiskit to accurately run certain classes of quantum circuits with up to 5,000 two-qubit gate operations. This is a significant leap forward, enabling users to expand explorations in how quantum computers can tackle scientific problems across materials, chemistry, life sciences, high-energy physics, and more.
Speaking of Qiskit, IBM has also expanded its quantum software stack, refining it as a comprehensive tool focused on performance and stability to fully harness the power of utility-scale quantum hardware[4]. The latest version of Qiskit has evolved from its beginnings as a popular quantum software development kit into a stable SDK and portfolio of services, built to enable users to extract improved performance while running complex quantum circuits on 100+ qubit IBM quantum computers.
On the control systems front, McKinsey highlights the critical role of quantum control in scaling quantum computing[3]. Quantum control ensures that quantum algorithms perform with optimal efficiency and effectiveness by manipulating qubits with precisely controlled energy. However, existing control systems are designed for a small number of qubits and rely on customized calibration and dedicated resources for each qubit. To achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing on a large scale, there must be advances to address issues with current state-of-the-art quantum control system performance and scalability, such as form factor, interconnectivity, power, and cost.
Universities are also playing a crucial role in advancing quantum computing through cutting-edge research, collaborations, and training the next generation of experts. The University of Chicago’s Chicago Quantum Exchange and MIT’s Center for Quantum Engineering are exemplary in this effort, bringing together leading scientists, engineers, and industry partners to tackle complex problems and develop practical quantum technologies[1].
As we look to the future, the convergence of AI, software advancements, and hardware innovations is poised to propel quantum computing into the mainstream, unlocking new frontiers of discovery and problem-solving. With these recent updates and ongoing efforts, the quantum computing landscape is set to witness exciting innovations in 2024 and beyond.
