IBM, AMD and Oak Ridge join forces to launch quantum computing error-correction platform
IBM Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and the Quantum Science Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratory today announced a new quantum error-correction platform that integrates quantum and high-performance computing. Gaining high performance and correctness in quantum computing requires protecting quantum information from noise. In many cases, researchers have paired quantum computers with…
IBM, AMD, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have collaborated to introduce a new quantum error-correction platform that combines quantum and high-performance computing. This integration aims to enhance the performance and accuracy of quantum computers, as errors in these systems can quickly become unmanageable. The platform leverages IBM's quantum computers, AMD's Instinct MI355X graphics processing units, and AMD's 5th Gen EPYC central processing units, all powered by ORNL’s Umbra High-Performance Computing system, which features a 120-qubit Nighthawk.
The key challenge in scaling quantum computing lies in mitigating errors caused by noise, with physical qubits currently making mistakes roughly once every few hundred operations. The co-design platform enables researchers to test and evaluate various error-correction approaches on a larger scale, ultimately paving the way for more reliable quantum computers that can tackle industry-relevant problems.
