Comparing Qubit Platforms in the Race to Feasible Quantum Computing

Arjun Sen, Kristine Rezai

Quantum computing is an emerging field that has been attracting a substantial amount of interest in the scientific community lately due to the advantages of quantum information processing. The fundamental unit of quantum information that makes up a quantum computer is a qubit. Several platforms have been proposed as physical realisations of these qubits for the purpose of making quantum computing a feasible technology, yet no one platform has significantly outperformed the others. This literature review discusses the current state of the field of quantum computing, by comparing and contrasting some of the most promising qubit platforms of today. By doing so, this paper analyses each of their feasibilities for full-scale quantum computing in the future and maps out a possible trajectory for how quantum computing may progress in the next few years

Overview and Comparison of Gate Level Quantum Software Platforms

Ryan LaRose

Quantum computers are available to use over the cloud, but the recent explosion of quantum software platforms can be overwhelming for those deciding on which to use. In this paper, we provide a current picture of the rapidly evolving quantum computing landscape by comparing four software platforms - Forest (pyQuil), Qiskit, ProjectQ, and the Quantum Developer Kit (Q#) - that enable researchers to use real and simulated quantum devices. Our analysis covers requirements and installation, language syntax through example programs, library support, and quantum simulator capabilities for each platform. For platforms that have quantum computer support, we compare hardware, quantum assembly languages, and quantum compilers. We conclude by covering features of each and briefly mentioning other quantum computing software packages.

Cross-Platform Testing of Quantum Computing Platforms

Matteo Paltenghi

Quantum computing has been attracting the attention of both applied research and companies. Continuous progress on fundamental hardware technology promises to bring us more reliable and large-scale quantum computers on which to run the next generation of quantum algorithms. These programs are compiled and executed on dedicated platforms, and similarly to classical programs, a large effort is required to test these platforms and create a robust software toolchain.Unlike previous studies which focused on cross-optimization and cross-backend testing, this dissertation aims to create the first approach for cross-platform testing which compares execution on diverse quantum computing platforms. To inform the design of the method, we will first perform an empirical study of bugs in quantum computing platforms and a review of the characteristics of realistic quantum programs.The final approach for cross-platform testing will include three components: a learning-based method to generate realistic quantum programs, an approach to map and run them on multiple platforms, and finally a quantum-specific statistical test to compare two multivariate binary distributions returned as the output of quantum programs.
