StableQ: Quantum System Stability and Reproducibility Workshop

Sep 17–22, 2023 in Bellevue, Washington Hyatt Regency Bellevue on Seattle’s Eastside.

       

Overview

The era of NISQ computing poses challenges in addressing noise problems, especially the unstable noise on quantum devices. This workshop aims to unite the quantum research community, discussing unstable noise, sharing advancements, and fostering collaborations to develop techniques for mitigating noise and advancing quantum systems.

Call for survey

We are collecting feedback from Quantum users on the experience of using current actual quantum compters in the cloud link

KeyNotes

       

Bio: Alex K. Jones is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science (by courtesy) at the University of Pittsburgh. He is currently on leave from Pitt to serve as a Program Director in the CNS Division of CISE at the US NSF. Dr. Jones’ research interests are broadly in the area of computer architecture. He is currently investigating quantum system codesign including design of basis gates, topologies, and transpilation from resonator devices to systems. He is also well known for advancing the field of sustainable computing and is also actively developing nanoscale magnetic memory systems including spin-transfer-torque and Racetrack memories with an emphasis on processing in memory. His other interests include reliability and fault-tolerance, computing and memories in harsh environments such as space, and compilation techniques for configurable systems and architectures, among others. He has more than 200 publications in these areas. His research is funded by NSF, DARPA, NSA, ARO, and industry.

Abstract: Superconducting quantum computing has pushed scaling to enable systems with dozens or even hundreds of qubits. Unfortunately, these machines remain limited in the size of quantum circuits that can be realized due to significant sources of noise. In this talk, I will discuss the collaborative-design between quantum computer architectures, physical devices, and transpilation flows to improve circuit fidelity without dramatic changes to the underlying physical hardware. I will focus on three recent advancements from our group towards achieving better co-design. First, I demonstrate the advantage of modulator design to both optimize system basis gates as well as qubit interconnection topologies. Second, I show how it is possible to enhance the capability of the selected basis gate by driving both the modulator and the qubits in parallel. Third, I discuss a method called MIRAGE that leverages mirror gates to further enhance the capability of the basis gate while further improving routing flexibility of the system through a cross-layer transpilation approach. I will present the value of these approaches for a real superconducting system that uses SNAIL modulators and transmon qubits, as well as discuss some implications for commercial systems from IBM and Google. Finally, I will discuss some further directions my team is exploring in co-design in modulator quantum computer design as part of ModQ.
