My Qubits Are Better Than Your Qubits

Today, we are still in the early stages of quantum computing so it’s hard to believe we may someday need to make these kinds of choices: which type of qubit (quantum bit) is right for which job?

Just Because a QPU Gives You a Result Once, Does Not Mean It Will Do So Reliably

In February of 2022, Agnostiq released a study providing the present state-of-the-art for solving combinatorial optimization problems on real, noisy gate-model quantum computers. Although the study was primarily focused on the optimization of discrete financial portfolios, the work is much more general with consequences for other industrially important problems including vehicle routing, task scheduling and facility location services.
