University of Sydney quantum physicists will work with IBM to suppress errors in qubits in a new four-year research project backed with a $10 million grant from the US intelligence community.
To be led by the University of Sydney Nano Institute and director Professor Stephen Bartlett, the project will test methods to suppress the errors of “noisy” qubits and benchmark the results in a bid to improve the performance of future generations of qubits.
Noisy qubits are a barrier to the current pursuit of large-scale functional quantum computers, with today’s hardware producing errors about as fast as it produces useful information.
