A team of researchers at Colorado-based Infleqtion, working with J.P. Morgan, announced the release of a new open-source research software library designed to dramatically accelerate research progress towards improving the efficiency of potential quantum applications.
The library introduces advanced error-correction techniques that enable 10-100x reductions in the number of physical qubits required to run quantum programs. This step-change improvement addresses one of the biggest barriers in quantum computing today: the sheer scale of hardware typically needed to achieve practical fault tolerance.
“Efficient error correction is one of the key enablers for commercially relevant quantum computing,” said Pranav Gokhale, general manager of Computing at Infleqtion. “Through our work with J.P. Morgan, we’re showing how software and hardware innovation, especially the flexibility of our Sqale quantum processor, can work together to move the financial industry toward commercial use of quantum computing faster.”
