Is there anything standing between today’s quantum hardware and tomorrow’s useful applications? Our CEO Ashley Montanaro spoke to Philip Ball at Physics World for his piece which explores the progress and challenges of building fault-tolerant systems, developing platform-independent algorithms and what early commercial adoption might look like. We believe genuine value can be delivered already in this NISQ era with hundreds of qubits. Hybrid quantum-classical approaches, where quantum plays a targeted supporting role like our software optimisation platform Mondrian, demonstrate a huge opportunity in solving real problems. Behind it all is something bigger. As Ashley said: “Quantum computing and quantum information are really pushing the boundaries of what we think of as quantum mechanics today.” Read more below.

Mind the gaps: The fraught road to quantum advantage By John Preskill Quantum computing is advancing rapidly, yet substantial gaps separate today’s noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices from tomorrow’s fault-tolerant application-scale (FASQ) machines. We identify four related hurdles along the road ahead: (i) from error mitigation to active error detection and correction, (ii) from rudimentary error correction to scalable fault tolerance, (iii) from early heuristics to mature, verifiable algorithms (iv) from exploratory simulators to credible advantage in quantum simulation. Targeting these transitions will accelerate progress toward broadly useful quantum computing.

A refreshing call for humility from someone with the expertise to back the title. Progress is real, but the long road to useful quantum computing still belongs to rigorous, open science. Not to press releases where rigor fades as fast as qubit coherence.
When and how will quantum computing broadly benefit humanity? Despite exhilarating recent progress, we still don’t know. Here my friend Jens Eisert and I assess the current status and the challenges ahead. We are optimistic about the quantum future, but there’s a lot of work to do. https://lnkd.in/gxuzxhj3

Even though we keep hearing claims about real-world quantum advantage, we’re still quite a way off from actually getting there. It’s not enough to draw up ambitious roadmaps that trace a path toward fault-tolerant, application-scale quantum computing (FASQ) through completely unexplored territory. Eisert and Preskill remind us just how many hurdles and uncertainties still lie ahead. So it’s far from guaranteed that we’ll ever reach that goal - though a healthy dose of optimism might help us stay on the long and rocky road. Mind the gaps.

BREAKING! Spin Qubits make quantum computing scaling a reality. “The big thing for spin qubits is that the manufacturing chains are already in place... it gives you an idea of the sense of scale that spin qubits can approach without having to reinvent a whole new manufacturing paradigm.” Conductor Quantum Founder Brandon Severin explains all on the latest episode of Thinking On Paper “If you finely tune the voltages on those gates, you can isolate an electron. You can make it jump left or right, or sit there for what seems like an eternity in the quantum world.” https://lnkd.in/eDFgUmWE
