Riverlane’s Post

Reaching fault tolerance, and in turn realizing the full potential of quantum computers, will require the co-development of quantum error correction and quantum computing technologies. We are excited to share our recent work with Riverlane demonstrating real-time and low-latency quantum error correction by integrating Riverlane’s quantum error decoder with our 84-qubit Ankaa™-2 system. Among the quantum error correction resources being developed are classical algorithms that identify errors that occur during quantum computation. These classical algorithms are known as decoders. A challenge in improving the utility of decoders is addressing the problem of the backlog of computations that accumulates as the decoder processes data. To avoid the backlog problem, the decoding needs to occur at the same speed as the quantum circuit. This experiment demonstrated decoding times faster than the 1\unit\micro threshold for generating measurement data on a superconducting qubit device -- ensuring that the backlog problem is avoided and showcasing that low-latency feedback can be maintained during quantum error correction operations. 🖇 You can read the full arXiv paper here: https://lnkd.in/eWKz_QVp And learn more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/e4mCsZvS
