U.S. PNNL and Microsoft Quantum Collaborating on Quantum Circuit Links to Supercomputers
A bridge to the quantum revolution When reliable qubit-based calculating devices arrive on the computing scene, they will not stand alone. They will need to cooperate with current scientific computing resources to reach their fullest potential. Now, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) computer scientists and the Microsoft Quantum team have taken a major step in that […]
Are Cosmic Rays Why Your Quantum Computer “Don’t Work”?
Cosmic rays may soon stymie quantum computing Key points… + But researchers at MIT, MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have found that a qubit’s performance will soon hit a wall. [T]he team reports that the low-level, otherwise harmless background radiation that is emitted by trace elements in concrete walls and incoming […]
