The race towards operational quantum computers

Christian Gamrat, Koen Bertels

Published Jan 16, 2023• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The race towards an operational quantum computer is on. It is a race of multiple dimensions: a race among a number of candidate qubits technologies, a race for architecture and hardware options, a race for software and programming, a race among nations and a race to attract and keep the best talent.

Quantum Software Security Challenges Within Shared Quantum Computing Environments

Samuel Ovaskainen, Majid Haghparast, Tommi Mikkonen

The number of qubits in quantum computers keeps growing, but most quantum programs remain relatively small because of the noisy nature of the underlying quantum hardware. This might lead quantum cloud providers to explore increased hardware utilization, and thus profitability through means such as multi-programming, which would allow the execution of multiple programs in parallel. The adoption of such technology would bring entirely new challenges to the field of quantum software security. This article explores and reports the key challenges identified in quantum software security within shared quantum computing environments.

Towards operational quantum computing? Or: thinking beyond qubits

Christian Gamrat

Although no one can yet forecast if or when it will become an operational technology, quantum computing R&D efforts will nevertheless have a profound impact on the future of computing as it is boosting research in important topics such as hybrid architectures, and algorithmic and computational complexity. It also forces us to re-think the very nature of information processing.

Benchmarking the performance of quantum computing software for quantum circuit creation, manipulation and compilation

Paul D. Nation, Abdullah Ash Saki, Sebastian Brandhofer +4 more

We present Benchpress, a benchmarking suite for evaluating the performance and range of functionality of multiple quantum computing software development kits. This suite consists of a collection of over 1,000 tests measuring key performance metrics for a wide variety of operations on quantum circuits composed of up to 930 qubits and $${\mathcal{O}}(1{0}^{6})$$ two-qubit gates, as well as an execution framework for running the tests over multiple quantum software packages in a unified manner. Here we give a detailed overview of the benchmark suite and its methodology and generate representative results over seven different quantum software packages. The flexibility of the Benchpress framework enables benchmarking that not only keeps pace with quantum hardware improvements but also can preemptively gauge the quantum circuit processing costs of future device architectures. In this Resource, the authors present an open-source extensible benchmark tool, Benchpress, for evaluating the performance of mainstream quantum computing software. Benchpress was demonstrated to perform over 1,000 tests with up to 930 qubits to compare the performance of quantum software, providing insight into how to best use current programming stacks.
